Been vaguely following TGS. Two things.

1) DMC5: ... What? I will accept this Dante on the condition that it is Dante-Dante's lovechild with Bayonetta, named for his father.

2) FFXIV: The trailer... God, I really wish this was the next offline game in the series. I doubt I'll be able to play it as-is but it looks so much more the FF I've been yearning for and I took an instant

I personally hope ever so much that this new "Dante" is some kind of demonic experiment that's being manipulated to THINK he's Dante, and in the game you will meet the real Dante who will tell this kid to stop wearing eye-liner and eat a damn sandwich. Then they team up and have fighty times and it's hopefully awesome.

I really want to know why he looks so damn skinny.

I really, REALLY can't imagine it being any other reason than it NOT being Dante. It just... no. I want Dante to have fun. That guy doesn't look like he's having fun.

It looks like I'll have to go to Asuras Wrath for my slice of extremely stupid over the top action. I don't know if you're a fan of this kind of action-genre, but did you see that trailer? It's essentially Buddhist God of War, and looks gloriously dumb from the trailer.

That guy doesn't even look capable of terrible one-liner delivery.

I just went and had a look - not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the appeal.

Yeah, like someone described it on the site: "GRRRAUUAUUUAAAARGH- The Game". I doubt it will be intelligent, or even capable of spawning a "weird-yet-intriguing" plot like DMC did, but man- giant buddhas from space. That kind of crazy is my kind of crazy.
