Japan's getting the Kasumi and Ayane magazine exclusives in their store, so I'm guessing we aren't getting any halloween stuff. We're probably going to get that magazine stuff, Team O, or nothing.
Edit- there's also no two piece bundle for them which means you can't save a dollar buying both together. This displeases me. It makes me assume the Orochi outfits will have to be bought separately as well for $6 altogether instead of $4 in a small bundle.

Okay, I did a little time travel back to Lorelei in DoA3. Yes, it is definitely that stage, just a little spooky-fied with dead trees, that giant red moon, ravens and gargoyles and instead of the vases on the highest floor, we have those orange lamps. There will be different floors (for everyone, who was afraid, there wouldn't)!
Comparing the old well of the original with the one behind Kokoro, one can confirm, that Team Ninja wasn't as lazy as I thought. They used more detailed polygon structures and the texturing is completely new. (I really thought, they were going to give us the exact old stuff...XD)
The moon completely switched places in the Halloween-Lorelei version, which I find interesting, because, from an artist's point of view, the moon had the perfect location in the original version. The preview tracking shots, as we so far knew them, won't work like that anymore...
Another thing I noticed: They might have completely changed the scenery around the castle. In the Twitter pics, we got so far, I can't make out the river or the other castles and houses, like in the original version. So, this stage might be closely modelled after Lorelei, yet still be a completely new location.

@KwonJigglypuff: Don't worry for the multi levels of this stage, TN knows that the fans of Lorelei loved it also for its horizontal and vertical vastness 
PS: Kokoro's outfit is really nice and this DLC is awesome!

There weren't any Izuna cliffs in Dimensions unfortunately.
There were, Lorelei in Dimensions had everything from the original except for the bottommost level.
I hope they added some danger zones,

AH shit SON Lorelei is backs! Awesome, they BETTER bring the old fucking camera back. I like what they did with the lost world stage but they fucked it up near the ground I hate how it just randomly changed angle, need the old one back ASAP.

my guess is that the stage will be free like zack island (the swimsuits were paid dlc but the stage was a free update).I wonder if they will do this again in a near future (probably after if not before the arcade version release), lets be honest here with the level of detail in doa5u stages they could simply copy paste some of the great looking stages from doa2u like the arial gardens
I miss good looking refection instead of huge pixels "sigh"
lool I was remembering the old stages with this video and Im stuned with the level of detail in some of this stages, the water for exemple, and that desert level has so mutch detail ...nostalgia....time to play this game again I guess

Not enough Greek dresses. ^_^
Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate was imho the best looking game of it's time. I still sometimes marvel at the gorgeous stages and character models. And I agree, the time, care and beautiful art design, they put in some of the stages, would still look good in DoA5. Aerial gardens for example... How the water was flowing over the rocks, rippling, steaming and foaming...wow, it still amazes me. Neither Doa4 nor Doa5 had such beautiful water effects. That's the power of great art design. It is even able to surpass technical limits of older hardware.
