Got the Tina and Helena themes.

Good votes, especially Tina.

I have a feeling that Marie Rose and Honoka will be the Top 2 characters. :/
That would be great.

Because they've learned from the AKB voting system. You don't make voting free when fans will pay to vote for their favorite members. The AKB election singles are consistently their best selling each year.
Well, if they are going to have a voting system, then free votes wouldn't make much sense. They would be easily abused.

The themes are also released in the eu. They dont count towards the votes?
It wouldn't make much sense for 'votes' from western PSN to count towards a game that is currently Japan/Asia exclusive.
 
That list is only Japan PSN right? So not surprising, the west will have to be in charge of getting Tina and Mila in, and keeping Honkers out.

Remember guys, only the themes purchased on Japan and Asia PS Store count. Also, you can vote for the same character twice if you buy the themes for both PS4 and Vita.

The Characters will be decided by vote, and the others won't be added after that? Not even as DLC?

So that makes it basically impossible that Lisa and Mila will be in the game
because people have bad taste

Well, at least I don't have to worry about a general western or an "adjusted" release then.

Where was that confirmed?

I'm alright with most of that but Mila not rating higher is unfortunate. There's an acceptable "adjustment" to the game in the west right there: getting Mila in.

Nyotengu and Marie Rose on top 9, glad to see people know which are the better new girls ^_^. I was sure that Marie Rose would make top 9 easy but was afraid that Nyotengu, who is my main character, would be left out.

What a beautiful top 2, as expected of my Japanese brethren, really sad Mila isn't higher though

Marie Rose taking the throne she deserves.

Yay, I beat you!
fun fact: Marie Rose doesn't eat, she sustains herself with the tears of haters

Whut? They're making people pay to vote for their favorite characters? :O

Wow, can't even imagine the amount of micro-transactions that will be in the final game if that is any indication.

Shit characters at the top


Actual best characters at the bottom

As expected
 
Swap Marie and Honoka with Tina and Christie and it's a solid list.

Not bad but I would prefer all the girls in it but since it's limited I would prefer series vets than the top two any day.

Hardcore DOA fans are pretty brutally monetized at this point. I kind of expect this game to be at least as bad as DOA5. Maybe at least it will let you cross buy your saucy outfits?
 
Aside from the two I already mentioned I do think this statement is correct, the game should at the very least also include Mila and Tina.

I think Tina being missing from a DOA game is ridiculous (Personally also prefer Mila and Lisa over the rest of the list as well, but Tina for DOA veteran status)

my top 9 list would even compromise and keep Tengu in there, but boo to the list at the moment

I can't help but think that this "vote by buying" thing is just a big marketing stunt and that they'll have a change of heart when the game comes out and include all the ladies, to maximize sales. I have no proof, that's just what it feels like.

I thought I read somewhere that there were only 3-4 actual body types for the girls and they just modified them a bit for each character. Seems silly to only include 9.

All DoA5 outfits have been crossbuy, so I don't see why this wouldn't carry forward.

I think DOA fans are getting good prices on their dlc. If you think these dlc prices are bad, look at riot and Blizzard and most western dlc models.

This could also be it as it doesn't make sense to have 9.
It would still need one more girl if it will play like the previous two games so we need at least 10.

Wait nvm didn't DOAX2 have 9 as well?

edit 2

Yup it did so it's not that different.
I want online play TN and more exploration.

Pretty sure they're full of shit.

To be fair to them, IIRC DoA5 vanilla didn't have any DLC characters either. So, I guess we can expect DoAX3 Ultimate Beach Party Edition or something somewhere down the line. Why stop at DLC when you can make fans buy the game multiple times?

Yeah. I figured they'd just cut to the chase with this, but like you say, why? They can follow the same path as DOA5 and do DLC (swimsuits in this case) a re-release, put out an F2P version, followed by yet another re-release and fans will buy it all.

And if they hold back some characters to start they don't have to struggle with additions later.

Or they'll just respond to fan backlash and say they're adding these characters due to popular demand. Then say, "see we listen to you, now pay us".
