TheScrubDaily:"After the leaked list hit the web, many appetites were satisfied. From old throwbacks to new characters, the entire roster looks very pleasing. With the exception of DmC’s Dante.
Nobody wanted him.
So, because of that unfortunate inclusion, I’m worried that Sony might pick the wrong characters."
If anything we kinda know which sony characters will be in... on the other hand 3rd party ones are open to many possibilities.
Also this opinion piece is garbage, has no depth, could've been a forum thread typed by a 16 y/o.
2 things
1: I think that would actually be pretty cool, well funny at least.
2: Why would any one seriously consider Hana over longtime protagonist Kiryu Kazuma, or popular recent characters like Shun Akiyama?
The Dante that Sony is known for is the Dante from DMC1-3. So this is clearly Capcom pushing the new Dante into the game for advertising purposes and Super Bot agreeing with it.
It would have made (infinitely) more sense to have DMC1 Dante, with unlockable costumes for every other Dante that followed (including DmC Dante).
As for people claiming the new Dante is "unpopular", that's not true. More gamers actually find the new Dante better and more suiting to the character (which I, a long time DMC fan*, completely agree with).
The only reason you don't hear from these people often is because they don't scour every DMC forum and video to post about it.
*don't confuse fan with fanboy
They control how Dante is represented in the game
