Thing is Dante's character does't even get anywhere close to himself.  Either as the brooding man in the first game, or the over the top joker in the third/fourth game.  Zero is just mentioning that his hair color turns completely white in the last cutscene of the game.

Well, I did read some comments that claimed this Dante "evolved" throughout the game, although I also read people disagreeing, so I don't know... I have to give the benefit of the doubt here... What's your take here ?

And I want to believe that zero129 was talking about more than just the hair when he brought that up...

Dante's character doesn't really change throughout the game.  Unless you consider him falling in love change, which isn't really too implicit either.  It's pretty much what you see is what you get.  It's just to show that he's started using his devil powers he gets a white patch after you get devil trigger.  Then in the last cutscene his hair completely turns white, that's pretty much it.  Ninja Thoery pretty much created the hipster version of Dante and that never changes in the game.

I see... Having seen another review on Youtube today that focused on the story (a silly, silly review...), I tend to agree with you. It just seems that the character doesn't react much to the events of the game... Even when he supposedly cares, you don't see it reflected on himself, just on his actions. I don't see any sign of it becoming a character I could identify with. And while I don't consider that to be an absolute requirement to enjoy a story, it's something that needs to be compensated somehow...

To each his own though.
