It really goes to show how important the face is to looks when so many of these girls share the exact same body model and yet people either love or vehemently hate girls from that same 'body tier'. Makes me chuckle.
The one thing I was hoping (but not expecting) they'd do is to individualise the body shapes for once. It's bizarre that the men all have their unique bodies (at least, it looks like they do) and the women, who are the visual focus, really don't. Oh well, maybe DoA6. I suppose TN know the look their fans like and think 'why go different?'
The one who really needs a redesign is Hitomi, imo. Her current look, while not as bad as the alpha footage, isn't great. Her head's too small or something, making her body look oversized, and her face doesn't 'work'. She's the one person who didn't fare so great in the leap between generations. Well, her and Brad. I think the art book said that they struggled a lot with her and it shows.
