thiccWow..they just arent gonna have any of the actual doa girls are they lmao
and they did update it -
Official Dead or Alive Xtreme Thread
- Thread starter Rikuto
- Start date
Just remember that the portrait and renders don’t match up 100 percent with the same quality of what they show in the trailer.
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if this project was delayed for a few months outside of a projected window. Especially if the odd rendering of the mouth isn’t up to par.

Elise is looking like an animatronic here.
Face animations are still non-existent, which is quite odd for a romance game where your goal is to feel a connection to the character you're facing.
Then there's like no interest whatsoever left in it. This game is going to be good for in-game screenshots, I guess.

I have to admit, I wouldn't have guessed Elise would have made it into this, but it's nice to see a more adult woman make it in at least, lol, but it's still far from enough for me to care about Prism. Something about Elise has always kept me from really liking her tho, but she's among my more liked VV girls for sure. Still, this doesn't bode well for the "DOA" part of this game, and I'm not entirely sure if I should feel happy about that.
Even if no actual DOA girls get into the six starter set, there's nothing ruling out DLC right now.
Just as reference, here's how some similar games in the past in this "genre" looked...
(lmao)
That's how I'm feeling about it... as someone who was even apprehensive about seeing DOA characters fawning over self-insert character "owner-san" in VV, I'm not even sure if I want to see DOA characters in Prism. But it's still interesting to see where KT and TN decide to take this and if they're really separating Venus Vacation more from the DOA series.
This has me wishing I had played similar games to this in the past, namely SNK's Days of Memories series (not even sure if there's a fan translation patch for them or not), to compare how another dev handled the idea of taking fighting game characters into a visual novel spinoff.

For what it's worth, I know a few instances in DOAXVV where the DOA girls do in fact call the owner out if the owner does something perverted or stupid, so I wouldn't necessarily say they solely fawn over the owner. And it's also debatable whether the Owner truly qualifies as a self-insert character since... well, let's just say there are plenty of instances of the Owner doing stuff that the player like myself don't ever recall agreeing to (like the Peacock kimono event episodes where Tamaki and Nyotengu comment about how he promised them a date, and when reading the lines after translating, I literally thought "I don't remember ever agreeing to a date with either of you."). Prism you can at least MAKE the argument that he is now a self-insert due to there being a communication/response tree to advance.
Either way, it's still better than Love Hina and its handling of its male character at least. At least DOAXVV made sure the girls if they call out the Owner did so for stuff he actually did, while Love Hina has the girls abuse Keitaru even when he's clearly innocent, making it come closer to a domestic abuse situation.

Shandy, sure. Not sure about Sayuri. Nothing against Sayuri, but I kind of rather the remaining girls be one of the non-Japanese add-on characters like Luna, Monica, Patty, Amy, or Meg so we'd get their ACTUAL nationalities (I left out Lobelia since it's made clear she was from the same country as Fiona, so Fiona alone would confirm Lobelia's nationality). At least we definitely know Sayuri's Japanese, same goes for Misaki, Tamaki, Nagisa, Sayuri, Tsukushi, Nanami, Koharu, Reika, Shizuku, and Yukino. We've already got Misaki for a Japanese girl in Prism anyways.

Genuinely don't know why people keep spending their limited time on earth engaging with things they hate. I used to dislike VV in principle but it's been 4 years since DOA6 got its development shutdown and 7 since the gacha started. It's time to let it go.
On the topic of Elise, she is a very welcome surprise as she's one of my favorites. The animations aren't there yet but I'm seeing improvements from character to character. Personally, I wouldn't even mind the game getting delated from early 2025 to a later date to polish it further. The way this game is set up, you'll be looking at the girls' models all the time and anything remotely off will stick out like a sore thumb.

Holy crap!
I guess anyone can only ever love or hate something, there's no in between or room for nuance or complaining criticisms, lol. I'm here because I actually play VV for one thing, obviously because I like something about it enough to play it, and anything that happens with the DOA series matters to me, even if I preferred if it was going in a different direction than it has been. I rarely waste my time posting/repeating my opinions when the series has been left in a void, I only try to show up when something new comes up. Anyways, I like that this place isn't an echo chamber and has diverse opinions, even if sometimes some people can be a little crazy. I mean, I could also complain about people being way too positive, but I won't, if this is enough for some people to be perfectly happy and ready to open their wallets then more power to them. If people on one side of the fence stayed quiet instead of sharing their opinions you'd only get half the picture and not the whole truth about fan reactions to the current state of the series.

For the record:
The new Hitomi...
I don't think I've seen a direct comparison yet, so here it is Looks like they rounded out her face and reduced her dome and ear size.

Luna is perhaps the most underdeveloped character in the game and the least interesting. All she talks about is sweet potatoes and she has ZERO photo popularity on Twitter - so you're right Team NINJA probably will pick her.
Judging by who they've chosen so far, I'm doubtful that any of my favorites (that aren't even DOA OGs) will make it in. Shandy, Sayuri, Reika and Yukino.
Yeah i think they'll work on the facial models as the game gets closer to completion since DOA6 had that face problem initially when they revealed characters. All they need is the more dynamic expressions DOA6 had and they'll be fine.
I just think it's much to over exaggerate the current look of the game when it's not completed yet. From what I can tell, the girls look good imo. Looks afe the game's main visual so if the Japanese demographic isn't feeling a certain look, they'll change it like they did with Hitomi in DOA5.
Also Idk why, but i feel like they slightly matured Elise in the face, in VV vanilla she looked softer but now she has an almost more chiseled look like a Christie or Helena.
She really is tbh, I got her 3 days ago and while she's a visual she's very monotone and just weird with no evolution or explanation of why she has no emotion xDLuna is perhaps the most underdeveloped character in the game and the least interesting.
