Did any of the fan outfits from the past DoA games ever make it to a sequel title before?
The 2 outfits of Leifang that were already mentioned, more at least even the "Astherope" and the "Phoenix" swimsuits, considering that they were created from fans and after DoAX ended to be included in DoA2U too (respectively for Kasumi and Leifang's vestiaries).
Wait Ein didn't get the cape? :/ That's surprising... and I wonder why did Christie get the costume she did when the game's art director supposedly liked another one? Or did she get both? I didn't watch most of the streams
A preference from the Team NINJA members doesn't bring automatically a sure inclusion in the game, the same circumstance was already happened with Astronaut's Leon from the Halloween contest. And believe me, I think that it's not surprising at all that Ein didn't get the cape... I continued to consider it the most likely scenario only because Eliot dark prince redesigned from Team NINJA appeared to share elements with my design. Now I believe that, maybe, they could have decided to get from it inspirations for Eliot and nothing more (that by the would make "justice" to his lost outfit in DoA4 XD), exactly as maybe could have happened the same thing with Helena's White Swan outfit (that appear to be used as inspiration for her new swimsuit).
Wow... so apparently I'm the ONLY person that actually likes Ein's new costume... (except the yellow pants they're an eyesore)
I don't consider it great but I like it me too and actually I don't have problems with the senape color of the uniform, anyway I believe that they could have got a better outcome deciding to remain faithful to the orignal design (and definitely the outfit would have appeared more different from Hayate's shirtless C3).
3. Lisa - Yet ANOTHER Lisa costume... #BringBackLaMariposa2015
Ehrmm...
"Another"? XD Lisa or La Mariposa, the poor girl got almost the same treatment of the males, her last original design was her casual one, after it she got a gym outfit and the Arthemis from DoAX2. I'm really glad that finally she got a proper and original outfit, it's only sad that the intervention of the fans was needed for it...
If anyone should be complaining it's the fans of Ein's chosen entry that TN completely destroyed. XD God does that look awful...
According to me what they really destroyed more Momiji's outfit. The vibe of the original design is definitely lost chaing her bottom part in a such way (I believe for avoiding the clipping between the mini skirt and the half trousers?). At least they recreated well the top part...
EDIT: My bad
@Kodachi, I had completely forgot that you are one of the responsible of Zack's design having worked with Blaze to the realization of it. Of course my words of appreciation for the final happy ending go also to you, great job!
