While the Legendary Dark Knight look doesn't fit Dante aesthetically, it does fit him thematically. Because the look is based on his and Vergil's dad! Who of course chose a human woman. Like his dad, Dante chooses humanity.
Another 10/10 video. For Dante, when it comes to his red outfits, the more gothic, vampire-eque his outfits are the more it fits him in my opinion, that's why I felt kind of disappointed in his DMC5 outfit, it felt too casual to me. Like he put on his very gothic iconic jacket and didn't want to layer on the rest of his outfit. I liked your perspective of him being older and dressing more relaxed because he knows Nero it taking his place. Gives the design more sense to me. Once again amazing video!
20:42 i howled at the “i wanna know more about her” my thoughts exactly. Gloria was my favorite dmc4 design because of everything you mentioned. I always thought her outfit was so intricate.
She was a disguise used by Triss to infiltrate the order of the sword. I don't believe we know if an actual person existed and Triss replaced her or if she is completely original identity. It doesn't really lead anywhere, so some speculate it may not have originally be what they were going with her but it had to be cut down during development.
@@lefteron6804 IIRC, she was going to be an original character, but after the Capcom suits cut DMC4's budget & development time in half, the dev team had to make some drastic changes, which included making Gloria into a disguise for Trish.
@@Wazzen563 I recall hearing something to that effect. Shame really how badly DMC4 was shafted. They reduced the budget and development time and they were angy it didn't pool COD numbers, which is what led to the reboot, which nearly killed the franchise.
I've been playing Devil May Cry games for 20 years now and I never noticed that Trish's corsette has a lightning bolt shaped window... Trish has lightning powers smh lol. Great video man.
loved how you opened and introduced the series you made your research and treated with so much respect I LOVE IT AND I LOVE THIS GAME AND YOUR VIDEO MAN HAVE A GOOD DAY
First off, thank you for validating my hot take about DMC5 Dante’s fit not being as interesting as his past outfits. Got a little vindication off that. But more importantly, thanks for this great review of the style and fashion of one of my all time favorite video game series! I honestly love how the DMC games keep the core identity of the characters intact with each game, but also change up their styles just enough to keep it fresh all throughout. Capcom in general tends to have some of the best character design in gaming, and the DMC series is one of its most shining examples!
I think the simple look works for uncle Dante. He’s at the age where he’s too old to be running around shirtless, and he’s outgrown the flamboyant vests and chaps. I can see him just tiredly throwing on the first black shirt he sees with his coat and being happy with that.
You can actually buy the official jackets for some dmc5 characters. They were originally part of special versions of the game but they are so expensive. Like $8000 for Dante’s $6600 for Nero’s etc
The speechlessness at Reboot Vergil’s outsit is so good. I love this outfit despite people making fun of it just because they don't like the character. Plus, people joked about him wearing a fedora even though he doesn't wear a fedora. He wears a homburg. And ya, I was also confused with Lucia's second diesel outfit. I kind of like the top, but the pants and put fit as a whole? What the heck were they thinking? I though it might just be a me problem. Maybe I don't understand fashion, but thanks to you I know I'm not crazy.
@@lesteryaytrippy7282 It's all good. I honestly may be wrong and it is a trilby but from what I understand one has the indents on the front of the cap while the other does not.
I gotta say as a absolutely Devil May Cry hardcore enjoyer/fan, this video rocks the hell, catched me out of guard when you showed the Diesel costume which not a lot of people really likes, and i totally love your content, you really hit the jackpot 🤟😎
Loved this review I swear playing DMC as a kid has changed my views on fashion without even knowing it. I love flamboyant fits like the universe of DMC.
I personally think Nico without glasses doesn't do her character justice. The glasses give her that nerdy look, because that's what she is and it's absolutely adorable how she nerds out when she meets Dante for the first time. Without the glasses, it just makes her look like a standard pretty girl.
Enjoyed the video. Don't see too many talk about the fashion in detail and this is a good one :) So originally Dante's look in 2 would have had a pure red coat, but likely they added the vest-like black section to split up the red a bit more from being domineering on the upper body. Also, given that Dante is often in debt/on a budget when it comes to personal maintenance, I have got to assume that part of his pay includes funds for new clothes, given his fate of always getting run through with a sword. Maybe his handlers deliver him a new suit every few months or so after a particularly dangerous job, though I do also think he tends to have a say about how the look should fit together. By the 5th numbered game, the "budget" look definitely seems to pop out to the surface as "gone" are the vests and most of the buckles (except the ones on his boots and waist), gone are most of the thrills. The look gives off a nostalgic nod to his days as a teenager, where he was almost bare-bones in appearance, while covering his body under the coat with a gray-to-dark-blue blouse.
Lucia third outfit is her casual outfit for staying at home and watching tv. Vergil, Trish and Lady each wear a set of demonic armour but they are forced to wear it.
20:45 this one is a disguise of Trish to infiltrate and keep tabs on the villains of DMC4 and Nero by Dantes request. To add, 29:35, this is a reference of the disguise in 4, when you put side to side you can see.
I think Vergil 5 EX is my favourite. It looks like he's really ever more ready to just throw hands with the more buckles on the boots and the heavy-looking crossed pattern shirt, and the green of the gloves and boits and the pattern on his coat and his shirt's sturdy interlocking look, ooh, and his trousers, makes me think of trees. And the tree was a theme, an icon, for his journey especially in DMC5 but also entirely through the series, big tree in DMC5, tree in his past, "Bless me with the leaf off of the tree, on it i see the freedom reign" "Crown me with the pure green leaf" "Beyond the tree, fire burns" but it's also like he's reconciled with himself now, like the crossed pattern of his shirt it's not the ribcage of old but now like crossing his two sides together to form a stronger-looking structure. He had big spiky designs on him before that were cool, kinda curvy and reminded me of his katana and its tsuba a bit, but now it's on him in a different way like he is the tree. Really ties into them not changing that much but really not needing to with his shapes, but their evolution telling his story. I do like the blue for him a lot more, and I like that they still kept the old colours and colour proportions, not too much gold. Those gloves and boots do make me think of gardening though. Fancy coat and katana and all, but before he puts his enemies in the dirt he needs to till it!
When discussing Dante's taste in fashion, one must remember that its canon that he has a case of arrested development, due to the truma of his mother death. His taste basically are the same as he was a kid. He likes cool action stuff, cool looking clothing and pizza. Heck its kinda implied that he is asexual and only flirts with women because that's what cool guys do. And i don't say that to disparage his clothing choices. His is the heart of a child that only wants to stand out and look cool. It makes him unafraid to wear outfits that most people would not be able to pull off. It gives him the confidence to own his own truth.
Yeah l Don't think that Dante is asexual but he may be a virgin l would like him to be with Lucia (because lady isn't interested in him in this way and trish looks like hes mom💀) l still have Hope that Lucia Will come back some day hell its because of her that Dante has balrog in DMC 5
@@lucianocruz3383 He's not a virgin. Also Lady doesn't look like his mom Trish does. Lucia would be awesome though. She's got an awesome design and is a complete missed opportunity. He's not a virgin. He even said "guess you were young once too" as a response to Vergil finding out Nero is his son. It's heavy implied in multiple forms of media.
The 2nd Dante Outfit in DmC Devil May Cry is a reference to the protagonist in Ninja Theory's previous game Mankey (Pronounced Monkey, but written that way) in Odyssey: Journey To the West
Really? I got The Crow vibes from that! I instantly recognized the jacketless outfit Brandon Lee had. But this Neo Dante outfit took liberties, probably because The Crow has copyright. It's certainly so stylish and rugged🔥
I've never seen this channel before, but this is such a cool idea! There's definitely a fashion component to character design that I don't think is contextualized as such that often. DMC was one my biggest inspirations as an artist growing up, and it's got some iconic looks
Amazing Video! I had so much fun hearing you deconstruct every character’s outfit!! Thank you for mentioning Lucia, she’s often forgotten and I was afraid she wouldn’t be mentioned at all in this video. She’s an underrated character and I hope we get to see more of her in the future! I loved the juxtaposition between her and Dante , wearing white (a long cloak that shields her but an exposed midriff? Hello? Cute!!) and possessing an angelic Devil Trigger in comparison to Dante’s more darker look. Again, thank you for creating this video!
So a couple of cool things about the outfits. FirstDante's Legendary Dark knight outfit is basically what his father Sparda looked like in his human form! which he basically was a fedual lord in the area he settled down with Dante and Vergils mother. So its very aristocrat's inspired. Also, why it looks weird because it technically is not Dante. Nero's DMC 4 proto outfits, the purple is actually a reference to him nring written as a detective at first! Like a demon detective that solves supernatural crimes. Also, the purple is obviously a nod to his family lineage without spoilers. Which feeds into again the Sparda outfit i aforementioned since purple seperated is blue and red! I really love games, that, tell stories or references things through small details! Also i think Nero as a detective is a reference to what the original concepts for Dante were, which was a detective but obviously was changed and abandoned as a concept.
Oh my god, BRAVO🎉❤ I love love love the fashion analysis and the whole Diesel designing is something I wish we could keep having, even as just alt outfits. I would also like to shower you with more love for showing DmC and ESPECIALLY for pointing out Vergil's fashion❤ He KNOWS how to dress for real😎
Great analysis. To me, Vergil is the guy that I want to be, look all their designs: always well dressed, perfectly groomed, good taste, always looking formal/bad guy. One of my favorite characters in fashion terms. I was laughing with you during the Niko review, that makes me think, we need a video of bad outfits. Too many cool videos and people well dressed, but we need the opposite to understand why the good ones are good. Great video as always
I really love the way you explain to us the fashion and probably terminology of these clothes and stuff. I would never know😂 Also it's nice that you took a look at the "black sheep🐏 DmC and Ninja Theory are definitely into their native UK street and punk fashion.
Of course the youngest Dante (Devil May Cry 3) goes with the most revealing, body - confident style. Edit: Damn, I never saw the Vergil design from DmC - daaaaamn that's drippy.
@XDF also btw as im watching your vid. The Legendary Dark Knight outfit for Dante is actually his Dad in a human version. If he devil triggers with that outfit on he looks like his pops in demon form. Just a little fun fact
Hey! Ive stumbled upon your videos and have been binge watching quite a few while baking. I wanted to thank you as it is very obvious that you just like fashion and like video games and all your videos just make me excited and happy about those things as well! I like both topics a fair amount and i hugely appreciate you almost always having something positive to say. And more revealing outfits described as body confident is so unbrlievably refreshing, you have no idea. Some of the things you mention i will most definitely try out as well. When you mentioned on steven stone on one of your pokemon videos (one of my favorite trainers) that purple and red always look good together (my two favorite colores), I bluescreened. I cannot BELIEVE i never made that connection, you are so right and I will be using rhat indiscriminately. All that is to say; the world is a better place for having you in it, i hope you continue to find joy in what you do and i wish you a great day :)
This was a very fun video, didn't think much of the fashion before but this made me rethink the costumes of the game. Also Lady's alt in 5 is probably one of the top 5 outfits in the series.
devil may cry is my favourite game franchise and it was very interesting listening to the details of the fashion especially dmc is known for style but the combat gets the most attention good job i really enjoyed watching!
I can only imagine having the official jackets they released for both DMCV and the DMC2 diesiel jacket funnily enough, RE6 also had an official jacket release with Leon's black leather jacket
Super cool video! This just came up on my feed, but such a cool take on gaming content. Especially as a guy who really doesn't have much fashion sense, it's super interesting seeing all these elements broken down that I'd have totally missed! Anyways, keep up the awesome work, can't wait to check out more of your channel!
Yeah DMC! Thanks so much for doing this franchise X :) DMC is one of my favourite video games series and i love the characters and their style. Nice analysis! Love it
Friend, I just want you to know that I appreciate your content and your enthusiasm for it. I’m not generally a fashion kind of person but I go full Met Gala mode when your videos drop. Thanks for making it accessible!
Cool interesting video! Grew up with Dmc and it has definitely inspired how I dress cuz of Dante Dmc 4 Dante is my fav love the cowboy look Dmc 3 Vergil model is my fav and he has a cool coatless attire Dmc 4 Nero I love how he just had 1 devil hand Dmc 5 Lady she looked real good
This was great! You should do something on some of the Persona/ Megaten titles. They always have a unique style to them. Maybe that new Metaphor games could be a good one to go with? Either way really loving the content!
Yesss brother I am down for this content!! You got a sub today Devil may cry is like 70% of my fashion inspo, always loved long coats and long scarves/hair as well.
first time i see your channel and i'm amazed with your attention to detail but funnily enough your outfit reminds me so much of a whole diferent capcom IP (klavier gavin from ace attorney 4) lol subscribed!
Fashion is super important for games, be it more obvious like final fantasy, wich has a strong historic connection with high fashion, or how clearly capcom always paid attention to it. Fashion and make up always were and will be important, and you can always see when a dev has no clue about it (the number of characters in games that needs a little eye shadow in my opinion) Tangent aside, dmc is interesting to me because it always felt like the designs were always were made with more of a focus to attract woman to the series, and how that makes it a clear step towards bayonetta The men were designed in an actual very atractive way (and not in the normal "what a straight guy thinks its hot" way) and the woman always have that ultra confident and self assured vibe that eventually evolved into bayonetta DMCV kinda lost it bit in my opinion, but it is still there.
i never get tired of the whole "dmc1 was originally re4" anecdote because i love how you can see that connection in both the games. DMC1 has a very RE-style setting and the series has a fair amount of RE-style "find thing to open path forward" puzzles. meanwhile, re4 has the most physically capable protagonist the series had had up to that point, and Leon is a cocky show-off weirdo in a very similar way to Dante.
iNCREDIBLE VIDEO 10\10 i love this franchise since i was a kid and that molded my fashion sense, when i was a tenager i like to dress like dante now ass an young adult, i more dress like vergil or lady ( i'm a men) it is a bit weird because I work as a repair technician for electronic and mechanical products, so customers see my colleagues dressed in jeans and a regular t-shirt when they enter the store,my colleagues call to give a look at what the customers broughtme and theen they see me dressed as if I were a character from Final Fantasy or DMC. It's hilarious.
I'd like to respectfully argue that Dante's look in 5 is the best one in the series. The simple shirt with the large buckle belt go VERY well with the more complex jacket, which has a lot of personality for being rolled up at the sleeves, and then having tattered cloth around the elbows. Great video man!
Yep confirmed, DMC5 Dante is 100% rocking motorbike leather bottoms and tanker boots. The little metal ring at the ankles on boots like this are actually for protecting the ankle in a crash where you side on the road with the bike onto of your foot!
black dante and red vergi is freaking dope 😭😭😭😭 i feel like dmc4 had the best character designs out of all the games tbh, partly cause i'm so biased towards that semi realistic bayonetta esque model renders rather than full on re2 remake...dmc5 vergil takes the cake tho i absolutely adore his portuguese half chaps w all the buckles & i always felt like the ascot tie he's got going on on earlier designs is a little out of place xD~ probably to show his ,aristocratic status' but they could've incorporated it a little better lol
the reason we have not seen more of Lucia is that DMC 2 is Chronologically the second to last game with the cannon order Being 3, 1, 4, 2, 5, with the anime happening between DMC 1 and DMC 4. also depending on what ending you got she kind of died
So about Dmc inspiring other games like Bayonetta is actually way deep for that franchise because the original director and creator of the original Dmc went on to make Platinum studios after leaving Capcom. Also all of her outfits and styles were designed by a woman. That lady put in hella work and it paid off. You even get Dmc references in Bayonetta
Beautiful video! I just wanted to say that in the Yakuza/Judgment series, while many designs might seem a bit plain, there are some really amazing ones that I think are worth checking out, I'd love to know what you think about them. Cheers!
Please do a video on the Hitman series of games, specifically Hitman: World of Assassination. So many different suits, different costumes, different casual outfits etc etc.
20:47 This is just Trish in Incognito for DMC 4's story plot Long Explanation: Lady goes to Dante and Trish about the Order of the Sword, a group of religious zealots who worship Dante and Vergil's dad, Sparda, like he's some sort of a God to the people of Fortuna(they even pray to him on their Sunday masses). And yes Sparda did stayed in Fortuna to be its Feudal Lord for a bit because he was busy sealing off more gates and other doors leading to the Demon World after sealing Te Me Nigru from DMC 3. As for Trish's incognito outfit, she has to infiltrate the Order's ranks and she did so by delivering the Devil Sword Sparda, which is the same sword she's using in the 4 Special Edition and Sparda's sword to defeat the Demon Emperor Mundus, so Sanctus, leader of the Order of the Sword and current Pope of Fortuna, can speed up his plans to bring the Saviour online(Its the big statue thing made of white marble and acts like a Jaeger from Pacific Rim but it flies that Dante fights in Mission 19 of DMC4). So Trish went for the sexy regal look with Lady Gaga's hair from her Poker Face song. Despite how eye catching the outfit is, the Order accepted her like she's one of them.
Sucks that we won't see more of Lucia from DMC2 because the game was a commercial flop :( they gotta do a reimagining of that game or get her out of there somehow!
Bayonetta would never had a DMC 4 Trish outfit because Kamiya only recognizes 1 and ognored ther est of DMC games. Not that it matters now anyways, but I agree with you, we need an actual collab between both franchises. At least you loved reboot Vergil, because for me the coat was giving grandma couch vibes so I can't take it seriously lmao
Loved your whole comment on their outfits! dmc has been my favorite game series for a while and i really love seeing someone talking about the fashion of it
I was hoping you'd mention Vergil's look in DMC3 while talking about his DMC4 design, because I feel like the colors of his look in that game are way more fitting for the design, like: In renders the blue is a little more saturated and shinier while in DMC4 the blue is a little matte; The pants in 3 are darker, almost the same shade of color as the vest so that those two let the other colors take the spotlight instead; And the yellow is a more metallic look with a light orange tone that I think brings everything together rather than the flatter yellow in 4.
To be honest - those differences aren't very significant to me at all. I think they look practically identical. But glad that the DMC 3 look resonated with you that much.
I love how cleavage came in to save the day again 😂. Makes me want to redownload and play dmc4 just for lady. Liked and favorited this video, it was so fun.
maybe its a bit off topic, but i would love to see your take on the deathloop antagonists and/or other arkane lyon studio's game dishonoured. it might be a bit too lackluster in terms of characters, but the environment in deathloop is pretty rich in terms of crazy designs
Lucia's never showing up again apparently she was the director of the game as she was blamed and fired from Capcom, what a tragedy to let that style go to waste

Wise words

And the tree was a theme, an icon, for his journey especially in DMC5 but also entirely through the series, big tree in DMC5, tree in his past, "Bless me with the leaf off of the tree, on it i see the freedom reign" "Crown me with the pure green leaf" "Beyond the tree, fire burns" but it's also like he's reconciled with himself now, like the crossed pattern of his shirt it's not the ribcage of old but now like crossing his two sides together to form a stronger-looking structure.

Lucia would be awesome though. She's got an awesome design and is a complete missed opportunity.
He's not a virgin. He even said "guess you were young once too" as a response to Vergil finding out Nero is his son. It's heavy implied in multiple forms of media.
@@xrossingtherubicon yeah. it's supposed to be a joke but ppl like taking it seriously for no reason
The 2nd Dante Outfit in DmC Devil May Cry is a reference to the protagonist in Ninja Theory's previous game Mankey (Pronounced Monkey, but written that way) in Odyssey: Journey To the West
Really? I got The Crow vibes from that!
I instantly recognized the jacketless outfit Brandon Lee had.
But this Neo Dante outfit took liberties, probably because The Crow has copyright. It's certainly so stylish and rugged🔥
And the Legendary Dark Knight look is purple because it's Dante's red mixed with Vergil's blue.
Heeeey shoutout to the leather jacket!
Bless
I've never seen this channel before, but this is such a cool idea! There's definitely a fashion component to character design that I don't think is contextualized as such that often. DMC was one my biggest inspirations as an artist growing up, and it's got some iconic looks
Amazing Video! I had so much fun hearing you deconstruct every character’s outfit!! Thank you for mentioning Lucia, she’s often forgotten and I was afraid she wouldn’t be mentioned at all in this video. She’s an underrated character and I hope we get to see more of her in the future! I loved the juxtaposition between her and Dante , wearing white (a long cloak that shields her but an exposed midriff? Hello? Cute!!) and possessing an angelic Devil Trigger in comparison to Dante’s more darker look. Again, thank you for creating this video!
So a couple of cool things about the outfits.
FirstDante's Legendary Dark knight outfit is basically what his father Sparda looked like in his human form! which he basically was a fedual lord in the area he settled down with Dante and Vergils mother. So its very aristocrat's inspired. Also, why it looks weird because it technically is not Dante.
Nero's DMC 4 proto outfits, the purple is actually a reference to him nring written as a detective at first! Like a demon detective that solves supernatural crimes. Also, the purple is obviously a nod to his family lineage without spoilers. Which feeds into again the Sparda outfit i aforementioned since purple seperated is blue and red! I really love games, that, tell stories or references things through small details! Also i think Nero as a detective is a reference to what the original concepts for Dante were, which was a detective but obviously was changed and abandoned as a concept.
i have been waiting my whole life for this video!!! thank you so much for this ❤️
Oh my god, BRAVO🎉❤
I love love love the fashion analysis and the whole Diesel designing is something I wish we could keep having, even as just alt outfits.
I would also like to shower you with more love for showing DmC and ESPECIALLY for pointing out Vergil's fashion❤ He KNOWS how to dress for real😎
They are all dripped out fr great video thanks for including so many of the different outfits 🔥
Thanks for watching
Great analysis. To me, Vergil is the guy that I want to be, look all their designs: always well dressed, perfectly groomed, good taste, always looking formal/bad guy. One of my favorite characters in fashion terms.
I was laughing with you during the Niko review, that makes me think, we need a video of bad outfits. Too many cool videos and people well dressed, but we need the opposite to understand why the good ones are good.
Great video as always
I agree - Vergil definitely has some great sophisticated taste 👌🏽
TH-cam finally recommending actually interesting content. Subscribed
I really love the way you explain to us the fashion and probably terminology of these clothes and stuff. I would never know😂
Also it's nice that you took a look at the "black sheep🐏 DmC and Ninja Theory are definitely into their native UK street and punk fashion.
Fun stuff! I love the fashion in DMC
Great fashion for sure
was not expecting this, but OH MY this is amazing
Great to hear 👍🏽
Of course the youngest Dante (Devil May Cry 3) goes with the most revealing, body - confident style.
Edit: Damn, I never saw the Vergil design from DmC - daaaaamn that's drippy.
He always was. It also doesn't help that he's canon rich 🤑 💰
I love the fit. Thats like 100% my style if i had the body for it 😅
Challenge your comfort zone 😎
@@XDF i gotta lose some weight 😂
@XDF also btw as im watching your vid. The Legendary Dark Knight outfit for Dante is actually his Dad in a human version. If he devil triggers with that outfit on he looks like his pops in demon form. Just a little fun fact
So happy to see you review my fav game series! DMC is goated
Certainly some cool looks.
Hey! Ive stumbled upon your videos and have been binge watching quite a few while baking.
I wanted to thank you as it is very obvious that you just like fashion and like video games and all your videos just make me excited and happy about those things as well!
I like both topics a fair amount and i hugely appreciate you almost always having something positive to say. And more revealing outfits described as body confident is so unbrlievably refreshing, you have no idea.
Some of the things you mention i will most definitely try out as well. When you mentioned on steven stone on one of your pokemon videos (one of my favorite trainers) that purple and red always look good together (my two favorite colores), I bluescreened. I cannot BELIEVE i never made that connection, you are so right and I will be using rhat indiscriminately.
All that is to say; the world is a better place for having you in it, i hope you continue to find joy in what you do and i wish you a great day :)
What an amazing comment - thanks for sharing these positive thoughts 🙌🏽
This was a very fun video, didn't think much of the fashion before but this made me rethink the costumes of the game.
Also Lady's alt in 5 is probably one of the top 5 outfits in the series.
Thanks for watching 👍🏽
devil may cry is my favourite game franchise and it was very interesting listening to the details of the fashion especially dmc is known for style but the combat gets the most attention
good job i really enjoyed watching!
Great analysis, love the visual styles in these games, I use a mod for 5 that makes Dante's coat a brighter red and I think he looks better
Love that - he needs that pop of red ❤️
I can only imagine having the official jackets they released for both DMCV and the DMC2 diesiel jacket
funnily enough, RE6 also had an official jacket release with Leon's black leather jacket
Super cool video! This just came up on my feed, but such a cool take on gaming content. Especially as a guy who really doesn't have much fashion sense, it's super interesting seeing all these elements broken down that I'd have totally missed!
Anyways, keep up the awesome work, can't wait to check out more of your channel!
Yeah DMC! Thanks so much for doing this franchise X :)
DMC is one of my favourite video games series and i love the characters and their style. Nice analysis! Love it
Friend, I just want you to know that I appreciate your content and your enthusiasm for it. I’m not generally a fashion kind of person but I go full Met Gala mode when your videos drop. Thanks for making it accessible!
20:42 that is actually Trish in disguise for an infiltration mission
I really enjoyed your analysis, keep it up bro
I don't know anything about fashion but these videos are so entertaining.
Devil May Cry certainly is stylish more than anything!
It's definitely serving some major style 🔥
Cool interesting video! Grew up with Dmc and it has definitely inspired how I dress cuz of Dante
Dmc 4 Dante is my fav love the cowboy look
Dmc 3 Vergil model is my fav and he has a cool coatless attire
Dmc 4 Nero I love how he just had 1 devil hand
Dmc 5 Lady she looked real good
Hell yeah first yugioh now DMC. All my favorites love your videos 😊
Bless
This was great! You should do something on some of the Persona/ Megaten titles. They always have a unique style to them. Maybe that new Metaphor games could be a good one to go with?
Either way really loving the content!
I really like this style of analysis with the brands and a bit of talk about impact or what was inspired by!! Love the videos and love from Brazil ❤
Thanks for the positive feedback 🙏🏽
Yesss brother I am down for this content!! You got a sub today
Devil may cry is like 70% of my fashion inspo, always loved long coats and long scarves/hair as well.
Awesome - glad the video resonated with you.
first time i see your channel and i'm amazed with your attention to detail but funnily enough your outfit reminds me so much of a whole diferent capcom IP (klavier gavin from ace attorney 4) lol subscribed!
Ooo, cool comparison
Fashion is super important for games, be it more obvious like final fantasy, wich has a strong historic connection with high fashion, or how clearly capcom always paid attention to it.
Fashion and make up always were and will be important, and you can always see when a dev has no clue about it (the number of characters in games that needs a little eye shadow in my opinion)
Tangent aside, dmc is interesting to me because it always felt like the designs were always were made with more of a focus to attract woman to the series, and how that makes it a clear step towards bayonetta
The men were designed in an actual very atractive way (and not in the normal "what a straight guy thinks its hot" way) and the woman always have that ultra confident and self assured vibe that eventually evolved into bayonetta
DMCV kinda lost it bit in my opinion, but it is still there.
Very much agreed - great points made
i never get tired of the whole "dmc1 was originally re4" anecdote because i love how you can see that connection in both the games. DMC1 has a very RE-style setting and the series has a fair amount of RE-style "find thing to open path forward" puzzles. meanwhile, re4 has the most physically capable protagonist the series had had up to that point, and Leon is a cocky show-off weirdo in a very similar way to Dante.
iNCREDIBLE VIDEO 10\10 i love this franchise since i was a kid and that molded my fashion sense, when i was a tenager i like to dress like dante now ass an young adult, i more dress like vergil or lady ( i'm a men) it is a bit weird because I work as a repair technician for electronic and mechanical products, so customers see my colleagues dressed in jeans and a regular t-shirt when they enter the store,my colleagues call to give a look at what the customers broughtme and theen they see me dressed as if I were a character from Final Fantasy or DMC. It's hilarious.
I'd like to respectfully argue that Dante's look in 5 is the best one in the series. The simple shirt with the large buckle belt go VERY well with the more complex jacket, which has a lot of personality for being rolled up at the sleeves, and then having tattered cloth around the elbows.
Great video man!
Your story, you tell it. Thanks for watching. 👍🏽
how are your outfits always so on point 🤯 and every single one looks so good on you wtf
great video like always 🙌
I really appreciate that 🙏🏽
i am just a guy that plays the games and sees the anime yes this had anime in the 90's but thanks for opening my eyes to the fashion X
Great vid again!
Big DMC fan, I feel so validated
Thanks
The Legendary Dark Knight look is basically the brothers cosplaying their dad, Sparda
11:49 yeah… the pants are definitely what i’m looking at 🫠
Yep confirmed, DMC5 Dante is 100% rocking motorbike leather bottoms and tanker boots. The little metal ring at the ankles on boots like this are actually for protecting the ankle in a crash where you side on the road with the bike onto of your foot!
I still to this day im trying to get in shape to rock vergil wardrobe and Rock Howard From SNK franchise
The pants in Dante’s DMC3 f outfit look like motorcycle leathers to me; especially in the topless version
black dante and red vergi is freaking dope 😭😭😭😭 i feel like dmc4 had the best character designs out of all the games tbh, partly cause i'm so biased towards that semi realistic bayonetta esque model renders rather than full on re2 remake...dmc5 vergil takes the cake tho i absolutely adore his portuguese half chaps w all the buckles & i always felt like the ascot tie he's got going on on earlier designs is a little out of place xD~ probably to show his ,aristocratic status' but they could've incorporated it a little better lol
the reason we have not seen more of Lucia is that DMC 2 is Chronologically the second to last game with the cannon order Being 3, 1, 4, 2, 5, with the anime happening between DMC 1 and DMC 4. also depending on what ending you got she kind of died
Awesome, I can't sleep, so I'll watch this!
So about Dmc inspiring other games like Bayonetta is actually way deep for that franchise because the original director and creator of the original Dmc went on to make Platinum studios after leaving Capcom. Also all of her outfits and styles were designed by a woman. That lady put in hella work and it paid off. You even get Dmc references in Bayonetta
Yess!! My favorite game of all time!! Every character has a Smokin' Sexy Style!!!
My favourite look might be the Nero DMC4 prototype outfit.
I love that one too
vergil had top tier drip
Sarah Palin Nico lmfao, good vid X
Finally someone acknowledged that 😂 Bless 🙌🏽
Man I wanna rock shit like this, would be heat af
20:42 is trish in disguise, its how she appears for a chunk of DmC4's story.
Beautiful video! I just wanted to say that in the Yakuza/Judgment series, while many designs might seem a bit plain, there are some really amazing ones that I think are worth checking out, I'd love to know what you think about them. Cheers!
Capgod capgod, we stan
Please do a video on the Hitman series of games, specifically Hitman: World of Assassination. So many different suits, different costumes, different casual outfits etc etc.
Bros dressed better than all the runway dudes he shows
20:47 This is just Trish in Incognito for DMC 4's story plot
Long Explanation: Lady goes to Dante and Trish about the Order of the Sword, a group of religious zealots who worship Dante and Vergil's dad, Sparda, like he's some sort of a God to the people of Fortuna(they even pray to him on their Sunday masses). And yes Sparda did stayed in Fortuna to be its Feudal Lord for a bit because he was busy sealing off more gates and other doors leading to the Demon World after sealing Te Me Nigru from DMC 3.
As for Trish's incognito outfit, she has to infiltrate the Order's ranks and she did so by delivering the Devil Sword Sparda, which is the same sword she's using in the 4 Special Edition and Sparda's sword to defeat the Demon Emperor Mundus, so Sanctus, leader of the Order of the Sword and current Pope of Fortuna, can speed up his plans to bring the Saviour online(Its the big statue thing made of white marble and acts like a Jaeger from Pacific Rim but it flies that Dante fights in Mission 19 of DMC4). So Trish went for the sexy regal look with Lady Gaga's hair from her Poker Face song. Despite how eye catching the outfit is, the Order accepted her like she's one of them.
Thanks for sharing
Remember kids: Holding a bladed weapon in a reverse grip is only good for running AWAY from a fight. Or posing.
Sucks that we won't see more of Lucia from DMC2 because the game was a commercial flop :( they gotta do a reimagining of that game or get her out of there somehow!
Bayonetta would never had a DMC 4 Trish outfit because Kamiya only recognizes 1 and ognored ther est of DMC games. Not that it matters now anyways, but I agree with you, we need an actual collab between both franchises.
At least you loved reboot Vergil, because for me the coat was giving grandma couch vibes so I can't take it seriously lmao
Loved your whole comment on their outfits! dmc has been my favorite game series for a while and i really love seeing someone talking about the fashion of it
I would love if you do a Fashion Break down of the main girls of RWBY.
I was hoping you'd mention Vergil's look in DMC3 while talking about his DMC4 design, because I feel like the colors of his look in that game are way more fitting for the design, like:
In renders the blue is a little more saturated and shinier while in DMC4 the blue is a little matte;
The pants in 3 are darker, almost the same shade of color as the vest so that those two let the other colors take the spotlight instead;
And the yellow is a more metallic look with a light orange tone that I think brings everything together rather than the flatter yellow in 4.
To be honest - those differences aren't very significant to me at all. I think they look practically identical. But glad that the DMC 3 look resonated with you that much.
I love how cleavage came in to save the day again 😂. Makes me want to redownload and play dmc4 just for lady. Liked and favorited this video, it was so fun.
Lol - thanks a bunch
I was watching the Bayonetta videos and was hoping for a devil may cry one
maybe its a bit off topic, but i would love to see your take on the deathloop antagonists and/or other arkane lyon studio's game dishonoured. it might be a bit too lackluster in terms of characters, but the environment in deathloop is pretty rich in terms of crazy designs
You can’t deny just how much neo servers
Lucia's never showing up again apparently she was the director of the game as she was blamed and fired from Capcom, what a tragedy to let that style go to waste
OMG I watched the anime and never thought that is was bast on a game
Gotta put some respect on the original 💯😏
Lmaoo your probably the only person who knows about the anime but not the games
