What makes him a better guest character than Dante from the Devil May Cry(tm) series?

they should and Serph, Flynn and Yu as bonus characters. that would be cool

Then you remember he's another 18 year old schoolboy protagonist and lose all interest.

Having Pierce so he's not completely useless like Dante.

He doesn't require a licensing agreement with Capcom

Nah, but I lost interest in you.

they're both pretty cool desu but raidou is a more convenient character to use since they actually own him

To be fair, you only really need Pierce if you're going for TDE.

he gets pierce

He gets pierce. In the battle against Lucy Dante can't do anything, despite being able to whoop every other boss' ass.

I wish Kaneko would come back and do more character designs.

Pierce also adds 1.5x on all physical damage, that's a big boost my dude.

It's only expected when you get Kaneko copying Amano.

Raidou's attacks all pierce which makes him inherently better than Dante in terms of gameplay.

It doesn't

What?

I mean both are just copying the uniforms of imperial japan's secret police.

why would you get dante/raidou if you're not going for TDE, they require to progress quite far into the kalpas

>Raidou has Pierce
I wish I had never read this. Now I'm going to be bitter forever because beating TDE Hard Mode as my first SMT experience was grueling as fuck. Literally had to keep a pen and paper to track buffs/debuffs as well as damage done on some of the end bosses. Now I find out fuckers are doing it on easy mode in the re-release?

>went up against tde boss without pierce, expecting to use dante
>ends up taking three hours of mc casting wind cutter over and over again
i nearly had a coronary when he started healing himself

It's a good thing that uniform is something people wore.

>play the raidou version about a month ago
>raidou can use pierce so i won't feel gimped when i use him with lucifer
>it's still better to just bring three super fused demons to the fight instead

His first fight cutscene is comically trash compared to Dante from the Devil May Cry series

>wind cutter
>not focus -> freikugel to make it end in 10 min
user you didn't fall for the magic meme did you?

i really like the strange journey protag and the demonica as well. kaneko is just a god at designs

Because the option is there. Nothing restricts you to TDE by getting the cameo character.

Will his battle theme actually be something from the Devil Summoner games this time around?

Hey so I'm playing Strange Journey Redux and it feels like a pretty fast paced thing at the beginning, establishing demons and summoning and the Schwarzwelt but I'm liking it so far, it's a good dungeon crawling with style oozing everywhere.
Arthur being an AI machine robot is somehow related to all this artwork of angels being robot people too, right? is it foreshadowing?

>a whole new era of Aspect Raidou posting is about to begin

You love to see it

That's more to do with his own specific passive. Demi-fiend can get Pierce too but he doesn't get a 1.5x multiplier.

not only did i take the magic train to the last fucking stop, i had no idea which magic to focus on
i ended up with a light-aligned magatama set, and relyed on the super pixie and michael to support me through the final boss
pretty much caveman magic i ever managed to finish tde at all

I wanted Dante more, not for Dante being in the game, but for the remote possibility of another Kaneko design in DMC.

Yeah, I know. I was talking about Raidou's Pierce, not Demi-fiend's Pierce which was the reply was for.

i got there early

>fought final boss with uber pixie
you have my respect

Good shit for not relying on the standard Freikugel or Magma Axis builds.
