Money shmoney, they had catered the fanbase every female fanservice outfit there is that they could come up with (to the point that it is becoming boring to see) and they couldn't even be satisfied.
Someone should give TN a wakeup call and cut others some more slack.

They make such very seasonal sadly. :/
I could have been alright if they had thrown in doctor outfits for the guys when they gave the girls those medical fetish crap and probably a schoolboy/male professors pack when they re-released another schoolgirl/teacher pack even if these costumes don't make sense due to the lack of a school or hospital stage.

Speaking of Casual/Legacy packs, it's high time they finish those. I've been doing research, looking up the costume archives and watching DOA2-4. Heck, going to Google images to see some casual costumes and I must say, there is a LOT of potential. It's just they're too lazy and resort to the easiest method of swapping costumes.
Oh no, don't give anymore ideas for Leon....

The problem has been a core issue that people have been dealing with since DOA5's original release. The competitive playerbase is there but the people that keep buying, keep grabbing the new stuff is primarily the casual base that enjoys the fluff and puff.
And that audience loves seeing pretty girls in frilly outfits weather it's boobs in a bikini, boobs in gym clothes or boobs in cheerleading outfits. It's boobs all the same.
TN makes costumes for the male characters when they feel like it, that's all there really is to it. They're meant to be in the "...oh, yeah and we guess they exist too" category. Because they aren't appealing to the eye candy fanbase DOA's trademark girls are catering to.
And then we have Ein... which... I honestly have no idea what TN is trying to do with him.

I just think they over-glorify them a bit too much. Even just from searching for images, there's hardly any fanart of the guys (unless it is Ryu).

Because what they try to do succeeds. As a general person if you think of DOA you think of boobs. If you're a bit more educated then you think of the orange and purple haired ninja girls, or the american wrestler.
You don't think of Hayate, Ein, Leon or any of them. You don't even think of Ryu, when you think of NG you think of Ryu and then when you see him in DOA you go "Oh hey it's Ryu from Ninja Gaiden!"
TN succeeded in what they were trying to do, advertise DOA's female characters and as such, they are the characters with all the fans and by default, fanart. The costume contest male vs female entry ratio should be proof enough of that.
That's just common in general. Most artists prefer to draw females over males. Nothing exclusive to DOA.

I doubt it. Looking for Tekken or any other fighting game's fanarts, they have an ample amount of male recognition in comparison to searching things in DOA regardless how iconic the Tekken girls are. There is equality in recognition.
Even though it may seem less, I still think Ryu can be on par with some of the girls with regards to recognition and fanart as they know him in 2 different titles.

DOA fans don't care about men. They care about tits. And this is the sad truth. Until they create equality among the roster, it will be known as nothing more than the "tit" fighter...

To be fair, 5UA does have a more reasonable amount in terms of their 17:14 gender ratio (Phase 4 included) as opposed to other fighting games but it's going to take more than just that to make the game look less of a tit fighter.

I wouldn't say they don't care about men, they just always prefered WOMEN (tits, really?). I wouldn't really consider that a bad thing since almost every other fighting game is male dominated.
The only aspect in DOA5U that isn't equal are the amount of costumes. Other then that there is equality in this game. The cast consist of 14 males and 17 females which is way more equal then many other fighting games. And everybody in DOA5 minus Lisa, Christie, and Gen Fu (along with Alpha and VFs) had story modes you can play.
I seriously don't get this at all

When a gender's recognition is overshadowed by another, it just goes the wrong way and the thing here is that DOA is just like the rest of the fighting games who always had guys in their rosters. It's not an all tit-and-clit fighter but when it comes to recognition, the guys are next to nothing.

Trying to respond to "Rachel the fiend Slayer" is like talking to a brick wall, its pointless. He will turn a blind eye anyways.

Summer is coming, so I guess we can expect new bikinis... I hope not, because the last one was already VERY skimpy (Tina's, Lei Fang's), so I don't think they can/should top that.
And here, I'm still waiting for Helena's casual concept and Lisa's legacy outfit.

Well yeah the girls are more popular, but in no way are the guys not as much. Hayabusa, Jann Lee, Zack, Bass, Gen Fu,ect are pretty iconic.
Just that the DOA girls great looks and personality win over the guys who in comparison to design and personality are a bit bland.
But at the same time, this isn't the 90s anymore where female characters are treated sucky. Nowadays, female characters in general to fighting games can easily be more liked and higher raised in popularity. So that could also be another reason

Like I said before, I love fanservice but swimsuits are a bit boring and unneeded for DOA5U now. They can save those for DOAX3
I would love a costume pack related to the summer like a vacation pack or something.

What are you talking about? I think I'm being pretty open minded right now and have given hints to understanding your points. <_<
