Keep in mind those "radical aesthetic changes" were the parts everybody didn't like and complained about.Closest thing to real game was alpha DoA 5 with the radical aesthetic changes. More male relevance, smaller tits, rather conservative outfits, urban/dark, etc. Was about as successful as the HD DVD movies. This is why we see a ton of these gimmick/sexy/cute/themed/collaboration outfits that are attached to $90+ season passes now instead of more legacy/casual/male exclusive packs because those bombed.
Who knows they might try again for DoA 6, but I doubt it especially since DoAX3 is a thing now.
When it comes to DOA, no one knows what they truly want.
You know, they could always use DLC for other means:
- Give stages more priority. What I mean by this is simply adding more stages in the game, maybe even expand upon them (look at "Lorelei" from DOAD for instance). Since stages/environment have the biggest role in DOA, they need to start taking advantage of that more often instead of once a year.

5 dropped almost everything DOA was liked for and I don't just mean tits. Literally only good things about 5 were arguably more technical gameplay and more detaile. But those came at the loss of most of the actual game (arcade mode, environment interaction, stage throws replaced with rps cliffhangers, no music, etc etc)
I do!
More of this
And less of this
Also this. But the problem is the new ten has proven incapable of creating anything new. That's why they kept adding superior doa3 stages instead.
They might as well just port over the other 234 stages.

Yes! That would rock @Darkton93. Maybe you should be in charge of the ideas at TN from now on. Also, I would want that pack to have a DBZ stageI'm more a fan of the male ones, myself, and mostly because those are cosplaying as cool characters. Though, Ein should've gotten a Dio costume.
Since only the female costumes are destructable here, I'd like to propose a Dragon Ball pack where only a few characters get destructable costume. For reference, with asterisks as destructable...:
Hayabusa - Goku * (Glasses select Kame, Kaio and Go uniforms, hairstyle triggers Super Saiyan)
Hayate - Saiyan Arc Vegeta * (Glasses select Scouter)
Ein - Majin Vegeta * (for the skintight bodysuit, hairstyle adds M mark and Super Saiyan hair)
Zack - Broly (hairstyle triggers Legendary Super Saiyan)
Eliot - Cell Arc Gohan * (hairstyle triggers Super Saiyan 2)
Gen Fu - Muten Roshi (with glasses)
Kasumi - Cell Arc Unit 18
Phase 4 - Artificial Human Arc Unit 18 *
Leifang - 23rd Tournament Arc Chi Chi
Nyotengu - Saiyan Arc Chi Chi (with Bansho Fan)
Tina - Videl
Bass - Mr. Satan
Honoka - Saiyan Arc Bulma
Ayane - Freeza Arc Bulma
Bayman - Unit 16
Leon - Nappa *
Lisa - (I dunno. This series doesn't have enough girls, least of all black ones.)
Marie - Kid Chi Chi
Jann Lee - Dragon Balls Arc Yamcha
Rig - Freeza
Raidou - Mecha Freeza
Christie - Towa
Helena - Buu Arc Bulma
Mila - (Argentus, who do you think would be good here? I don't want to disappoint you.)
Momiji - Buu Arc Chi Chi
Rachel - Buu Arc Unit 18
Kokoro - Cell Arc Bulma
Brad Wong - Tenshinhan
Alpha - Super Saiyan glow
Akira - Cell
Jacky - Unit 17
Pai - Chaozu
Sarah - 23rd Tournament Bulma
Not true. I want my character to not suck and not be the male dress up doll of the game.When it comes to DOA, no one knows what they truly want.
All dlc for PS3 and Xbox 360 has stopped.Hello, the DLC's new character + new scenario, will be unique Ps4 / or Xone also come to PS3 / X360?
All dlc for PS3 and Xbox 360 has stopped.
So no new costumes, stages or Characters will come to those platforms. I'll honestly be surprised if she even goes to PC tbh.

Everything else is just Icing on the cake really, for better or worse.
If one male character made an appearance in DOAX3 (and it wasn't Zack, considering you know... it's his island.) I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it was Ein, complete with swimsuits, speedos and everything else you could think of. I have no idea why that particular character was singled out to be the sex symbol of male DOA characters. It really does baffle me.Come now Zeo! you know as much as me that they wanted to convert Ein into a sex idol! Soon, Ein will be in the cover of a male version of a DOAX game. People may ask "What happen to Ein and why is he not in future DOA fighting games?"
Oh that's simple. He's in a DOAX game due to lack of sales! (+1 if you can find the 2nd barrier joke here.)

Although for Ein improvements, as much as I feel your pain on it as well as his attire selections....balance changes for all of us are pretty much minority here.
When Jann Lee goes shirtless, it's not as much as a big deal because he's done that since day 1, and he is based off Bruce Lee. When he's shirtless, it's done more for a cool and fighter effect, even the speedo is something I believe Bruce Lee has worn in a movie once. Also unlike Ein, he covers up in the majority of his outfits.
This gets me wondering; when the guys wear revealing outfits (and not just the ones that show skin but also the suits that emphasize their build and muscles) its treated as looking badass. Can anyone give an example of a revealing costume by a female character that is meant to "show" their baddassery over sexiness? The only ones that come to mind for me are SOME of the outfits from the 3 ninja theme pack...
So to ask your actual question: You can probably say Ayane and Christie honestly. Christie may use her body for her assassin work but I honestly don't think she would give a damn if she had to kill someone in the buff right then and there, same with Ayane. It feels more within their personalities that they do what they do not because they are female, but because who they are, being female just makes it easier at times.
