Because he is a lead role, so unless he's the villain I can't imagine who else he's gonna be.

It says "Lead" and it's not Reuben Langdon. Granted they could just as easily get somebody else though I'm not sure why they would.

he could be a major supporting character? Kyrie would probably count as a 'lead' even though she isn't on screen that much

So you're basing this all on the voice actor?

Uh... what about Metal Gear Solid 5? Voice actors change.

Dante's whole character changed a ton between 3 and 4, they could change it some and still have it be the same guy.

They are not going to change Dante's voice when they are still hiring his company to do mo cap work and have him readily accessible to voice him again. Also Langdon's dedicated as hell to the role, why would he not voice Dante again? He literally did new lines for the Pachinko game for god's sake.

If they're pretending DmC doesn't exist and calling the game Devil May Cry 5 then recasting Dante for no reason would be super dumb.

Wait I'm reading your post again, I think you're confused. Dante didn't really change much between 3 and 4, he's just a little bigger and slightly less of an upfront rear end in a top hat.

It also brought Dante more in line with his true character from dmc2 Dante.

He changed a ton between 3 and 4. In 4, Nero is closer to DMC3's Dante than Dante is.

Dante looks like 20-30 years older and he's got this serious Alec Baldwin look. Where DMC3 dante was a cocky teenager.

They both have swagger and 4 is less of an rear end in a top hat yeah, but I still feel its a pretty dramatic shift. He doesn't even look the same. (Not that I'm complaining, it makes sense. It takes place at the end of the series instead of the very beginning)

The whole reason they had us play Nero in DMC4 though was because they didn't want to pull a Metroid Prime "Ooops! I just tripped and dropped all my superpowers! I'll have to go collect them again!" and wanted to leave Dante as a strong badass. So you start as Nero and power up.

That's also kinda why DMC3 was a prequel, it explained Dante not being as strong to start with and having to develop his fighting styles.

So DMC5 could have you be some other character and then Dante shows up later, (I wouldn't really care for that personally) but even then they'd still probably bring back the original Dante voice actor right? Seems just as plausible that its Dante again and they're just having a different voice or something. Who knows.

I have a hard time believing they would bring Drew Coombs back when he fell off the face of the earth in like 2006 and no one's heard or seen him in anything since then. Also the DMC anime used Reuben Langdon for Dante and that takes place after DMC1. It's really a lot simpler than I feel you're making it out to be for yourself, they wouldn't change his voice at this point since Langdon is always up for doing it. He will however change his tone and style and you are absolutely correct that Dante in 3 and 4 are very different performances even if they are very much still silly dudes.

Dante's 19 in DMC3 and that's all we really know about him age wise and he seems age like a regular dude since he's got five o clock shadow in DMC4 and does look noticeably older than in DMC1. The setting for DMC is always kinda strange because it changes styles between architecture and location in games so much but DMC1 and 3 are supposed to take place in America and 4 is in some european country.

DMC1 was on an island in the ocean. America doesn't have that many of those.

No clue about Dante's aging speed. Its definitely taking place in modern day, I figure he just uses swords because magical monsters don't seem to care about bullets.

Nobody else really uses swords, its not like humans are running around with them all day.

In 1 you're on some spooky castle island so having swords isn't too weird, in 3 you have the whole magical te-me-ni-gru tower / gateway to hell thing however you spell it, and then...

Actually I don't really know what was happening in 4, that one was kinda weird. 1 and 3 could be set in our current present day world, but 4 would have to be on like some weird religious cult country or something. They also had dudes with swords so yeah, I dunno.

Even 2 fits in with modern day, you're just in like some South American coastal town or something. But 4 is just straight fiction world.

That mostly fits, religious city and near the coast I guess. But the trees are all wrong for Italy aren't they? Feels more South America like DMC2. But I guess it fits as well as the others do in the modern world.

I'm pretty sure the jungle was magically created by Echidna. Both Nero and Dante are surprised by it and Nero lives in this place.
