I don't get it why I am not a fan of the series just because I don't like this change.
Which change?
Out of the 2 costumes we've seen so far 2 are “sexualized”.
Kasumi's isn't a variation of her usual default, but it's not unlike other stuff she has worn before and Helena's is perfectly in line with previous outfits…
They said the won't rule out old outfits (which should be obvious to everyone, given TNs “laziness”), they said they will still make sexy outfits (and they already did), they said they are still committed to making the girls beautiful. I'm not sure why people pretend the statements made are a 180° turn in design philosophy.
It seems some people think they will put any girl in a “superheroine suit” just like Kasumi… but that's with almost 100% certainty not going to happen, given that Helena didn't get one and this is still a fighting game… and the fact that chars are visually distinct is fairly important.
And what did you do after the first teaser for DoA5 with women in it?
They made similar statements at that time and I'd say Hitomi's outfit was basically as modest as you can get and Ayane's costume was certainly less skimpy than the one we got for Helena…
At this point and with the stuff, we've seen, I really can't understand the concern and level of “outrage”.
