You need to realize this is a capitol investment on a team to revitalize an age old game. Better graphics... are a must. I don't agree that making every character bustier is a must, but the main aim for these guys is to make each version more appealing to the past players as well as entice newbs. If the gameplay is off the hook, it is going to sell. I don’t think I care about the character animation and appeal as I do the attention to detail to everything in general.

The whole sexualisation thing has gone beyond a joke - SC is a thing of mockery in the eyes of an increasing population. I think some kind of authority should force the SC developers to pull their heads in and decent their characters up.

Not only does it give Taki lemon-melon tits in every edition, they gradually make her look less japanese as well. Basically all of her costumes in SC are crap (esp. the mask that exposed her mouth). I don’t know how many of you guys have played Soul Blade/Edge before, but it was the original instalment of the Soul series and whoever developed that game seriously had the right idea. It had an Edge Master Mode which created a unique storyline for every character and an extra soundtrack mode which let you run through three original albums. I’ll admit Takis’ boobs were big here too, but at least they were shaped better and she looked more Japanese, had a better wardrobe, and had a more mature/womanly face. In fact, every single other character looks better in Soul Blade looked better as well. If you don’t agree, then ask yourself why SC feels the need to capitalise on the fact they steal characters from more famous places (eg. Star Wars) as opposed to properly promoting their own. The SC character design team sucks, sorry to say. I’d really appreciate it if someone could tell me how Soul Calibur managed to not crash and burn along with the Dreamcast like it should have, while Soul Blade sank into obscurity. If Sony had chosen to run with SB and keep the associated production crew, I firmly believe we would have a weapons-based fighting game far superior than anything the world has seen to date. Hope I haven’t offended anyone. I really WOULD LIKE TO LIKE SC, but SB really is the better quality game. And don’t try to say ‘SB in-game graphics are crap’ because the game was still good for its time (considering how ancient it is) and if its graphics were brought up to modern standards, SC wouldn’t stand a chance against it. I think the reason SC outlived SB was because it had a more ambitious advertising campain in the early stages, but otherwise I’m baffled as to why things turned out how they did. I’m open to further discussions, so feel free to agree or disagree with the above statements. Soul Calibur is a joke (in my humle opinion).

I -guess- it's good that she's no longer identifiable as the character with the humongous breasts covered by a skin-tight sheath, but the heavy mascara + skimpy Santa Claus harem pants look just doesn't work very well for her, or indeed anyone. Also, honestly,Voldo always creeped us (me and friends) the hell out back in the Dreamcast era. Sexualization of the Soul Calibur characters isn't anything new, of course: the Dreamcast version had a code that let players change the color of Sophitia's panties. It's just gotten a lot more ridiculous over time. Dear god, just when I thought Taki couldn’t be any worse.
