youre gonna appreciate doacentral after 50 catalogs and 100 reco-- costumes
Only if I was routinely buying those costumes. By the time LR rolled around I wasn't buying costumes anymore anf frankly couldn't even be arsed to pick the ones I had bought. I was just picking everyone's C1 or occasionally C2.

true. i just hope it's not like the early versions of 5 where you have the full list (with locks) even if you didn't buy them
in any case, i appreciate that it's a system that benefits c1/c2 slot pickers. especially when the small indie company still hasn't figured out how to condense all the palette swaps

Can't wait to play A-yan and her sister Ka-soom-eye

Well, it's not as if people that do know/should know better pronounce the Japanese character's names 100% correctly. ;) Especially people whose native language is English do tend to still butcher the pronounciation of the names. That's probably because English is hardly phonetic while romanized Japanese is.
The big majority of native English speakers that I know pronounce Kasumi as "Kuh-soo-me", stressing the "soo" syllable. It's however more like "Kuss-uh-me". "Kuss" being stressed and "uh" and "me" being said quickly and without stress.
Then there are names like Ryu, which are literally impossible for an English speaker to pronounce correctly unless they learned Japanese pronounciation. The R and U sound are just so different from the English ones.

It seems Grunt is right that the dominatrix costume Christie's deluxe costume. It's also recolored in a way that makes it look more like wrestling costume.

Loved Helena's DOATEC sherrif costume. Will probably look better with the new graphics!
It has to be an unlockable then. I want it in dark blue/green and white (to wear on her ship). Nice pick.
The headmaster costume was nice too.

Well, TBF, it kinda goes both ways with some of those (Rachel comes to mind).

The ones that bother me are the cases where native English speakers fail to pronounce common English names correctly. For example, "Mary Rose" is a particular pet peeve of mine.
