Not only, Devil May Cry also uses RE:Engine.

JSON is about interoperability particularly between different teams or users.

Considering Capcom games are all from the same place, they really should have gone binary and at worst used a tool to read the json and write out something like protobufs.

JSON was never meant for high performance. If you want speed, use a binary format—don’t use something unnecessary just to seek attention.
