Meh, pretty crappy pack.
I might buy Pai, Jacky, Mila and Momiji but the rest just don't sit right with me. Ayanes steampunk dress doesn't suit her, Sarah looks incredibly dyke and Hayate just looks ridiculous.
Edit: I guess Eliot and Hitomi look ok aswell.

Great, original set! :D I'm getting the ones for Hitomi and Eliot for sure...not so sure about Jacky, though the poor guy has a near empty closet. :(
Mila looks sweet, but is completely off character. XD
Ayane looks...weird...

To the guys hoping for their favorite outfit in volume 2:
Don't you see this set is all original? Volume 2 (if it comes) will very likely consist of all original outfits too. sorry. ;)

I'm a bit late but let's get to it.

- Hitomi wins this one for the girls. It's not really "casual" but it's just epic. I almost want to buy it.

- Mila's actually grew on me the more I looked at it, It's nice.

- Momiji's is definitely different but It's nice to see characters in actual casual outfits and not ninja suits or weird other types of outfits.

- Don't like Ayane's. GG

- Jacky wins for the guys, actual casual outfit and it's pretty boss. If I bought that I might main it.

- Dunno what they were thinking with Eliot, it's more another halloween costume than anything, but it's still cool.

- Hate the direction they always go with Akira and Hayate, always have real casual outfits for the girls and pick this lame village peasnt wear for them. Expected it for Hayate but I really thought they might go for something actually casual for Akira seeing as he wears real casual clothing in FS. Dissapoint. Worst costumes in the batch.

I'd recommend a specific throwback outfit for Ein for Volume 2 but given the direction they seem to have taken with these costumes I doubt anybody will be getting anything they've had before, new costumes all around. Just hoping it doesn't suck.

For me this was an awesome pack! The inclusion of male and VF charas it's already enough for being a big plus for me, then if the outfits appear to be original creative and good for my tastes, then it's surely love! XD

Seriously a great pack: if TN will release an outfit for every characters, I think that the Halloween DLC could have found its worthy rival ;)

Volume 2 better include the rest of the characters. I would expect Rachel to get a costume the same time Momiji gets one but apparently that is not happening. Maybe they haven't uploaded all of the costumes to the store yet.

Edit: Not sure if there is going to be a volume 2, but I would imagine there would be if they bothered numbering this as Volume 1.

Of course there will be a volume 2 (otherwise what would be the meaning to call this "volume 1"? XD), but considering like this one got 10 outfits, I think that the next will made the same and so will be necessary a volume 3 for the eventuality where all the characters will get a new outfit.

Awesome pack!-Hitomi and Ayane both have really great ones! Unfortunately, I don't like the direction they went with Akira's...Maybe it'll grow on me?

Nonetheless, I would've liked to see a more modern casual outfit, like either of these two:

Personally I have no problems with the outfit for the VF ones in this pack, but your choices for Akira and Pai were nice too!

Wish I had your optimism.

I assume that the lack of maskless Hayabusa is due to TN having some strange new desire to hide his face from now on, rather than to deny fans the outfit.

Optimism leads only to disappointment

Yeah, unmasked Ryu will happen in DOA6 at best.

Personally I'm pretty optimistic after to have read the tweet that I posted here: http://freestepdodge.com/threads/doa5u-wanted-costumes.2936/page-34#post-139024
Seem that in future maybe we could even get a pack only dedicated to the classic male outfits! :cool:

If Team Ninja plans to give old outfits to the male characters, I seriously fail to think that they could give another outfit to Hayabusa. If something the problem is if they will release him unmasked or not, but the outfits of Ryu in DoA5U in the end show alrady his upper and lower face, so I really think that a chance for revealing his face there is (in addition I think that the majority of Hayabusa's fans want see his face in the game).

Does anyone ever get the exact outfit they wanted or requested? lol

Yes, my most requested outfit was Ayane's NG1 one and, surprisingly also for me, it was included in the DoA5U able to overcome her much more revealing NG2's one (sign that I wasn't not the only one that was asking for it).
[Btw, Ayane's NG1 is well known for her "side B abs" by who played NG1, indeed TN showned to be pretty careful to this detail also in her DoA5U version XD]


More I also asked for Bass' viking and Kasumi's princess one (but I made very few requests for them, limiting myself to retweet other posts) and Emperor Cow for Leon's classic one with his turban. Many fans didn't want Eliot sailor outfit (that I don't dislike) and TN seem to have showned to get the message with his pirate one.

The only strange thing is just Haybusa's case, I don't understand because TN refused until now to give a classic outfit to one of the most popular character. It's basically a sure win IMO, every fans of the character that play DoA will get that outfit.The only explanation is that - for some strange reasons - they don't want made Ryu unmasked, but at the same time they think that release the classic one masked would be able to disappoint all the fans.

It wouldn't disappoint us as much as their current practice, aka: ignoring us completely and giving us nothing.

Personally, I don't see it ever happening. They've known we've wanted it badly since pre-vanilla, and yet they have passed up on it time and time again. If they're "thinking about it," they'll remain "thinking about it" forever.

They completely messed up his face up in Ninja Gaiden 3. He isn't handsome any more at all (he actually looks really weird), so we all can be glad, they decided, to hide it completely in DOA 5.

With the risk of being blatantly wrong, I continue to believe that they will release it, overall now that TN is also creating new original outfits for his male characters.

In Ayane's, Hitomi's and Mila's outfit from this pack, I see many elements that seem to be modeled behind Christie's trenchoat and this make me think that in the end they will release this so highly requested outfit for her (maybe just in the next pack).

If TN decide to release a similar not revealing outfit for a girl because appreciated by the fans, I really think that there are all the cards for the return of an iconic outfit for Ryu Hayabusa (that like popularity is maybe inferior only to Kasumi and Ayane).

Personally I like his NG3 face and I really hope that TN is not showing it because fans asked for it; Iif something, I'm sad for the loss of his anime-ish spike hairs (but seeing the new direction of the character design, I understand the reasons of Team Ninja behind it).

The best part about Ryu's throwback is that MASTER is getting annoyed with TN. Since they apparently promised him they would put the throwback in DOA5 unmasked or no, so the question is what's the delay?

They've remade more questionable costumes for 5U (namely Rachel's fiend costume) so why not remake the throwback and put a mask on it NGS2+ style? Fans won't care for the most part besides, the throwback looks sick masked (although it looks 10x better unmasked)

They fucked it up, but it would still be better than nothing.

He wasn't handsome before he was ken doll just like the rest of DOA. They tried a new design, people weren't too thrilled. oh well try again. They can't just keep him behind the mask for the rest of his career they have to try again sometime .

Eh, might as well get my bid in while people are doing it.

Retweet this one if you support one of Ein's most epic costumes: https://twitter.com/ZeoRebirth/status/402792504254148608

Lol, Ein is basically Itagaki's self-insertion in his series. It felt in the 90s already weird and outdated. Why does Ein have to look like a wannabe 80s rockstar? If he gets any new outfits, I hope, they'll be current designs.

It's just a black jacket, t-shirt and blue jeans. Plenty modern. Not seeing the wannabe rock star look at all. Ein's got a few outdated outfits for sure. This however, isn't one of them.

Upon seeing the costumes in action.

- Still hate Ayane's.

- Akira's is better than I thought but still don't really like it or the direction they went with his "casual" outfit.

- Sarah has some interesting fashion sense.

- Hitomi's is still boss.

- Eliot's looks more like a regular outfit, I like it. Might be better without the hat though.

- Pai's is nice.

- Momiji's is nice.

- Jacky's is pretty good but he could use some baggier pants. Those jeans are looking a bit too tight bro.

- Hayate's is freaking horrible. Unfitting, ugly and he looks like freaking Washizuka from Last Blade, 2nd worst costume he has behind the training mode dummy suit.
