They chose guest characters to gain and attract another fan base, even though Momiji is a very popular character. Mai Shiranui beats her in popularity. Those 5 characters will be added to the game sooner or later but at this point I’d also rather have guests as first DLC. About the costumes, yes we’re getting wedding dresses and tuxedos, a set that’s actually a really cool idea. Only having a costume sets with fighting costumes is boring, I wouldn’t pay cash to see Hitomi in another karate gi, or Hayabusa in another ninja costume. Some male characters actually had tuxedos in the previous titles so them getting their tuxedo back is actually really cool. I mean, look how cool Bayman looks in that suit, add aviators to it and he’ll look really cool. I’m sure we’ll get more “martial arts” costumes in the future.To be honest, I'm a bit bothered that the first DLC characters will be guests. I know collaborations are what most Japanese games do nowdays but it kinda bothers me that we're still missing five actual DOA characters but are opening the doors to two guests that, in my humble opinion, should not be here. DOA already has a wonderful, varied cast and collaborations should be something happening late in the game's life to keep interest going. It was cool with the VF people in 5 because they come from an extremely similar game but the KOF characters¿ not my cup of tea.
Also, I knew the costume DLC was inevitable but it's lame to see that two weeks before release, we're already getting an announcement for wedding dresses and suits that have nothing to do with martial arts and fighting. The costumes were, on the most part, pretty good in 6 but these wedding things have no place in this game.
It begins.
I really want to stay delusional for a moment because I really want it to be a male character.The second DLC character will get a 5 costumes DLC set, just as Mai.
There's no way they plan to sell 5 costumes for a male character, lol. It's going to be another cute waifu. Dead or Alive has become Waifu Fighter.
