The Venus Vacation Team are having too much fun making original characters, than ever consider how many years it took to include another DOA girl after Lei Fang (who could've been just added due to how close she was being included in DOAX3 along with DOA6 was in working production which was a time to include her).
I just mean in new promotional videos where they show off new costumes and stuff, they mostly use the VV girls to show them off, Tina's usually nowhere to be found... I think I hardly see the other DOA girls in those either, lol. I swear they actually wanted VV to be separate from DOA but using DOAX3 as a base, and they might as well have... it would probably be almost just as popular like that.
And I'm all for seeing more Rachel and Lisa and Christie is any capacity now. I kinda changed my stance on that actually since seeing Tina in it. They need more love, even if they'll also be ignored after debuting, lol. If or when they finally decide to add them, tho, maybe the game will be too old and they'll already be showing off the next iteration.
