After the first trailers for Nocturne HD had Raidou Kuzunoha, I figured we weren't going to get Dante, but apparently he's planned as DLC. Paid DLC, but it's still a cool feature that I wasn't expecting to get at all, considering the licensing issues with Capcom. With that in mind, I actually don't mind it being paid that much.

I've never played Nocturne myself, though I did play a fair bit of SMT4 and I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely looking forward to this one coming out.

So, like...

Which one actually fits better in the story?

Like, I assume that the other SMT dude will make more sense to be your occasional antagonist + Secret Dungeon Stalker...But on the other hand, being stalked by Motherfreakin' DANTE across a bonus dungeon just seems WAAAAY more epic.

So I'm kind of torn on whether or not I want to pay for that. XD

Raidou fits more by far cause he's part of the SMT world already but Dante's part was really cool anyhow and they made him fit as well so there's no wrong choice here really.

I'll prolly go for Raidou if I ever go around to replaying nocturne again for the 20th time, just cause of the novelty of it.

To be honest, I'm not totally sure how the Maniax (Dante) / Chronicle (Raidou) difference works. I think that it might be an option at the start of the game? I haven't heard any details on it, though.

Sucks that he's DLC when he was already in the game to begin with. I know boils down to liscenes and copyright, but they should not even be charging for it.

Not that simple; he was in one version of the game. I wouldn't have been surprised if they just remade the Chronicle edition and were done with it, especially since that was the last and most 'complete' version released. That being the case, I might not even get the Maniax DLC, but I still appreciate that it exists at all, even if Capcom insisted on getting paid separately. And the base game is still really good from what I've heard, so one paid DLC that should be free isn't any reason to skip it outright.

But that's just my stupid opinion, so.

Was not implying to skip it; just pointing out the bullshit. Not an SMT fan for the record. I do like the art style though.

So we have to pay 10 bucks for an alternate version of the game that has Dante.

Here I was hoping to have Raidou and Dante team up and beat up demons but I can't have that now can I? lol

However if anyone was wondering its his DMC2 self where he doesn't have his usual over the top manners and is much more serious. There was a time where DMC2 Dante was actually considered to be a different character like Classic Sonic but is mocked instead if I recall which how much people didn't like DMC2. Man to think we'd get something worse down the line that DMC2 is considered canon again but I digress.

Considering Raidou and Dante serve the same role and share the cutscenes and boss fights with each other, to have them both would drastically differ the game, except if you are allowed to NG+ a different version and use the compendium to summon the other.

OT: For 10 dollars, he better have Langdon voicing him.
