Wanna know why I'm linking this trivia? Because for many years many SMT fans didn't knew this. They thought that the Dante version of Nocturne was Western exclusive while Japan got the Raidou version.
Meanwhile I'm like "dude, the Dante version PREDATES the Raidou version of Nocturne. Dante belongs to the second version of Nocturne (which was released in Japan as well) while Raidou was released on the third version. In fact, the Dante version of Nocturne was released BEFORE the Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha game series was even a thing! Raidou Kuzonoha as a character didn't even exist when the Dante version of SMT Nocturne was originally released! A simple search should tell you that!"
And while we are at it, here's some Japanese footage of Dante in SMT Nocturne.

Filthy casuals...
EDIT: for those who still don't get it, here are some release dates. JAPANESE release dates, mind you. Normally I wouldn't have to clarify this, but this is the Internet that we are talking about.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne (Vanilla version) = February 20, 2003
Shin Megai Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax (the version that was released both in Japan AND the west. This is also the version featuring Dante) = January 29, 2004
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army = March 2, 2006. Remenber, this is the debut of Raidou Kuzonoha.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Chronicle Edition (the one that replaces Dante with Raidou) = October 23, 2008
