I sort of agree, though. Despite the changes being largely cosmetic, it looks like it might be a game with a very different atmosphere. Obviously the costumed superhero idiom doesn't directly translate, culturally, to Vietnam or Korea ... but there's plenty of people in the West who'd love to play a Manga-inspired hero game.
Actually, I've resubscribed to CoH and CoV, and as it stands there are a *lot* more costume options than there used to be, among them many anime styles choices already. I believe one of the more recent 'issues' (their name for major content updates) had anime style hero costumes as a major 'selling' point.
Yeah, I had a play on a friend's account over Christmas and spotted the 'schoolgirl' options (disturbing). It did make me consider resubscribing, until I remembered that while the character crearor is the most fun part of the game, it's also the least significant. Anyway, MMORGs really aren't my thing.
