I thought Tom Lee said we were going to get information in a few days... it's been a few days.

I hope to be wrong but I interpreted it as few days after Fighting Carnival, indeed in the next two days we got the full teaser and the official online announcement from TN.

Akira in particular just looks pitiful

lol fuck off

Bananakira is the best.

 

[Xhominid The Demon Within]

lol fuck off

Banakira is the best.

With the seriousness, I completely forget about that...

Might as well go for the full sundae with that.

I think that at least 1 fan costume per character is more a safe bet. The characters who got an overwhelming amount of love on that front, maybe 2.

The press release said about 300 not DLC costumes, right? That's about 69-ish more than last time. Divide that by the roster size and it's roughly 2 per character. And then people want more throwback outfits as well. So, we'll have to see.

I think there will definitely be ATLEAST 2-3 fan created outfits per character.

Wow, that's some wishful thinking. Even definitely?
I think, we can be very grateful, if at least everyone of the fighters will get a fan created costume.

Wait, what? o__O'

Sorry. I'll rephrase. If I remember correctly, DOA5U claimed to have 231 costumes on disc, right? The press release for DOA5LR claims that the game comes with around 300. Since DLC costumes are apparently not included, that would mean at least 69 more costumes than before being included from the get-go. There are currently 32 characters in the roster. That would mean that roughly everybody would get 2 costumes, some 3.

Now, this isn't exact because for all we know, they are adding more characters and characters like Alpha or maybe the VF characters may get shafted.

If it is the case that everyone would get around 2-ish more costumes, rather than the previous supposition that everyone might get 2-3 fan-made costumes in game, it's probably a safer bet to assume that everyone would get only 1 fan-made costume due to the fact that fans have also been clamoring for more old-school costumes as well.

Everything thus far is just a theory that may be completely wrong.

Edit: I forgot to subtract the costumes that Marie, Nyo, and P4 have by default. so it's maybe about 50 costumes divvied up among the rest of the characters. My mistake. So, 1-2 per character if they get one at all. Anything beyond that would be DLC hopes. If people wanted more fan costumes (2-3), that would have to be tempered by the fact that TN may have other things that they want to release (and fans have other requests), if they're even planning to keep up the DLC release schedule past a certain point.

and characters like Alpha or maybe the VF characters may get shafted.

Why in the name of fuck would they ever shaft Alpha? She's extremely fun to play as, and I think they've crafted an incredible boss character that lots of people enjoy playing as (which doesn't happen often). This isn't DOA6, and I think that if they were to take VF characters out, they would be doing the players that love DOA5 a disservice and would hurt a scene they have spent the last two + years building.

 

[KwonJigglypuff]

I expect character like Lisa or Christie to have one new costume in this version (+ the expected DLCs of 2015).
I would be fine with that if the costumes are good (Trenchcoat Christie and Carnival Lisa).

Nurse Lisa in DOA5U was meh since Rachel got it too for no reason. It became so not unique because of the nurse pack a few months ago. Cop Christie is still cool.

PS : No character will be cut in this version, haha.

I meant in terms of costumes. Calm down. lol

 

[Kronin]

@werewolfgold Nice reasoning, I hope that we will get some plot twists about your conclusion, however so far appear (sadly) pretty logical. By the way I can't remember exactly the number of unlockable outfits that TN promotoed with DoA5U, could "be more than 200"? (so in the end we got a gap of 31+ outfits from the estimation done).

Don't be worried DOAN, you can read the VF names in the credits of DoA5LR, they are confirmed to return (of course being part of the roster of DoA5, guests or less).

The same is of course right for Alpha-152 and the other characters.

As mush as Im pretty sure EVERYONE on this forum would love to see that (as it would mean most of our favourites would make it in), 1 per each character would be great. Than maybe, before hand, the Halloween winners!

Nah. They outright wrote 231 on the promotional flier that they had for it when they were demoing it.

@werewolfgold
Where did they ever say "300 non DLC costumes" in the press release? They said:

The new title will offer up over 300 costumes in the package right out of the gate, with new hairstyles and accessory options selectable as well.

Pretty sure, these over 300 costumes are all costumes of DOA5U and then some DLC costumes we got along the way, and that Team Ninja thinks, ought to belong in the new game, like for example the throwback costumes or the casual costumes maybe. They included costumes like this in DOA5U too, after they were DLC for DOA5. All the bikinis and fetish will probably again remain fee-based content though. So these about 60 (+/-) additional costumes might not all be completely new content.

They are talking of 300 outfits in game, not DLC:

Character customization options get even deeper, as DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Last Round will offer over 300 open and unlockable costumes, and the brand new hairstyle and accessory options will give nearly endless possibilities to adorn the fighters for any occasion. Players can bring their run of rosters, costumes and accessories from DEAD OR ALIVE 5 Ultimate, as previously purchased DLC content will be transferable from last gen consoles to the PS4 and Xbox One.

Oh, I get it. I thought, with "not DLC costumes", he meant, costumes that were never available as DLC, but must be completely new content for DOA5LR. Because he assumed, that these 60(+/-) costumes would probably all be the costume contest ones.

Considering there are so many hundreds of DLC costumes now and Last Round gets roughly about 60 more than DOA5Ultimate had on disc, that's actually kinda stingy, lol.

 

[Kronin]

Sorry, I had to edit my previous post before but I was busy with the phone (btw you had interpreted well werewolfgold's meaning about "not DLC" outfits):

I believe that this mean that we will get the 231 outfits of DoA5U + some DLC that we got along the way or new outfits. Considered that TN is stating more and more times that the DLC will get a cross over system (and how they already showned new outfits for Eliot and Marie Rose and hardly I think this mean that all the characters will not get at least a new outfit), I believe that more or less half of that 70 outfits will be new ones and the other one has a 50/50 chance to be from old DLC and/or completely new outfits for a few of the character already existing and eventually for new ones present on disc.

So far I don't discard completely the idea that maybe DOA5LR couldn't get anyone of the DoA5U DLC packs. In any cases I believe that we can expect a discounted DOA5U complete pack as already happened for the DoA5 outfits left out from ultimate.

 

[Tyaren]

I believe that more or less half of that 70 outfits will be new ones and the other one has a 50/50 chance to be from old DLC and/or completely new outfits.

I think so too. So every character might get two new costumes, one from the costume contest, one former DLC costume or completely new costume. (Or the girls get three more and the guys one more. XD) (Or the girls, including Eliot, get 4 more and the guys get none... >.>)

I believe that more or less half of that 70 outfits will be new ones and the other one has a 50/50 chance to be from old DLC and/or completely new outfits for a few of the character already existing and eventually for new ones present on disc.

Remember that it's probably only going to be around 50 new costumes. You have to subtract the 3 DLC characters' default outfits from the 300 number.

DONOVAN and MIYAKO will come to DOA5LR
