Some of these redesigns are definitely for the better, but some of them lack any sort of prominent key features, making them look like NPCs.
Currently playing Monster Hunter 4, and while it's ok for the most part, I can't but notice the majority of the female armours still have their faces uncovered, while most of the male ones have their faces obscured. I understand that it's hard to mess with old armour designs, because fans can place importance on their old favourites, and covered faces are not necessarily a bad thing. I do find it a little lame when the male and female ones look different. Thus far the new armours seem to fare a bit better, but it's still too early to tell.

I do agree that Impa had a badass vibe going on, communicated through her design, body language and moveset. Easily my favourite character to use in the game.For some reason Impa from Hyrule Warriors is super awesome to me. It might be because she doesn't constantly giggle and prance when she fights.
