Cool I love little details like that!

@Tyaren
Whoa! Great find! That's actually really cool. And it only took us, like, 5 months to find it ;)

There might be even more! We just have to look a little better...
For example the initials of the designer *coughs* of Eliot's costume are to be found on the sneaker heels:

I just noticed something, that I didn't notice before... o . O As some of you might know, @Boogie's original Rig design had a skull applied on the back of his shirt, which TN did not apply in-game...

...except they actually did...

Stuff like this makes me really appreciate the effort they put into some of the outfits. Like how someone ages ago pointed out that there is a chibi Kasumi face on the bottom of her intimate outfit. More outfits should have awesome little things like that.

Don't know, if this is considered an easter egg or just special attention to detail, but Bayman's default outfit is actually the only outfit in the game with real sweat stains (the other outfits just get overall shiny and transparent):

I think, story wise, Phase-4 needs some differences to Kasumi going forward, maybe a scar (boring yes, I know, but the easy way out is TN current design philosophy), or maybe some "clone-decay".

Or Bald, skin-head Kasumi! That would be cool!

Haircut.

Seriously that's all that's needed. Even Spider-Mans clone figured out to dye his hair and cut it in a different style to differentiate himself

Story-wise they just need to stop cloning Kasumi. It was boring in DOA2, and the last 16 years haven't made it any more interesting.
Hopefully NG4 features a DOATEC level where Ryu just storms their factory and murders all the clones once and for all. Then DOA6 could actually try doing something else for a change.

But if we're already stuck with her in the game, stop releasing more costumes for her than other females who are legitimately unique in appearance but get less outfits. It's ridiculous how both Kasumi and P4 will get a costume in every pack when Lisa or Helena get left out entirely.

I feel like a scifi bob would be to similar to others hair cuts now that Momiji and Christie (possibly Lisa) have scifi bobs. Something that would be unique In the game but might be a little to out there is this.

I'd prefer however If she was just removed in future entries in the series.

Considering she's important to the story and will take Alpha's place in DOA6 I think we're stuck with her. Alpha will probably leave the roster for 6 so we'll be back to two Kasumis.

I actually like the idea of two Kasumi's, it's like having twins

Yeah Phase 4 is a clone but she is different from Kasumi in a lot of aspects. She has teleport moves and she has a "I don't want to hurt you but it's my duty so I will" personality which hasn't been done yet in DOA.

Plus her clothing is pretty different from what Kasumi would wear which is "dark and experiment like" which opposes Kasumi's "traditional Japanese and/or girly feminine" style

Kasumi has teleport moves. She was the original 'teleport ninja' and her name even means mist/haze.

Her personality is a sadder version of the old Kasumi which is imo a step back because the new Kasumi at the end of the story is more likable with how confident and determined she was. Idk why you say the personality hasn't been done when Kasumi's whole thing was "I don't want to fight but I must"

Clothing-wise those two outfits you showed are fan designs TN wouldn't have come up with themselves and the third is Kasumi's outfit from that pack but with an eye piece.

I preferred her before she became a playable character because there was more mystery to her. However like a lot of the other women in this game her personality has been undermined in order to push the fetish of the month dlc. So in doa6 she should have a distinct fashion that separates her from the generally light and bright clothing Kasumi wears. And have good dlc that isn't just a new occupation each month.

I edited this from what I said before to make it more clear what sort of outfits I don't like.
