If they would have made it a white female the fan base would have lost their shit lol.
As far as Bob, I'm sad, I don't want his broken ass to come back =/
I'm hoping for Anna as well, but I have some many characters I want to play in 7. Of course Anna is my main, but for the past year I've been using Paul, and Jin. Not to mention Claudio and Lucky Chloe both look so fun :(
Update; KOFXIV Demo is coming to PSN on the 19th of this month to all regions
7 playable characters; Iori, Kyo, Mai, Nelson, King of dinosaurs, and two characters whose names I've forgotten
I honestly don't like playing games before they come out unless it's in the arcade where I have time to explore and learn. Playing a build at tournament is just everyone button mashing. Although some of the characters movesets are mostly the same from their previous KOFXIII movesets.
Wouldn't be surprised if they give her a jump as well as jumping attacks, they transitioned the jumping animations and normals for the VF characters. Although for VF it was literally copy/paste and tweak move properties
