This.
I get what Itsuno probably means in that the FORMULA of DMC4's gameplay was the best it could be (given that Dante's playstyle doesn't change in 5 and Nero's is mostly the same but with different functions for the circle button, and that the actually new design, V, is weak next to them), but he's more than aware that 4 is half a game repeating on itself.
I think most DMC fans would be happy with more like 5 but with tweaks. If we got another game where Dante has multiple weapons and styles he can switch on the fly, and Nero got new functions for whatever he has instead of Breakers, I'd be mostly happy. I personally want better enemies and more environmental interaction, and I think Vergil needs a rehaul if they put him in a base character as they should, but how the characters themselves play is damn good and only subject to tweaks at this point.
