First, legacy characters that were DLC in the original will be standard. Yay...I guess. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear like Mai and Kula are going to be standard. That's understandable because they are not DOA characters. But the question is, will they be carried over if you've already purchased them for the vanilla version or do they have to be repurchased? An even bigger question is whether or not they are even going to be on the roster?

Kasumi, Ayane, Marie Rose, NiCO, and Honoka look like they'll each be getting a new costume. They look pretty cool. I'm especially liking Honoka's new outfit. And Kasumi's new outfit is fire. I'm never going to be against more outfits in a DOA game, so thumbs up here.
It also appears like there will be a camera mode, which could be awesome. Finally, you'll be able to create that perfect screenshot, if you're into such things. I wonder if this means we're going to view victory and defeat poses again, like in DOA 5. One can only hope.
Of course, I still have questions. Will some or all of the current DLC be included? How many and which ones? If not, will you be able to carry over the ones you've already purchased? Will there be new characters? Vanilla DOA 6 clearly looked like that wanted to add more characters, but the game died before they could. They say they will add them here. Will they be legacy characters, new characters, or crossover characters? It's exciting to wonder. Finally, do we still have to pay for hair colors? That was an atrocity against gamers and should not come back. And what does "improved gameplay" mean?
Ultimately, they are still a lot of unknowns with this one. The game comes out in three months, so a lot of these questions should be answered soon, unless the fact that the questions remain IS the answer. I am looking forward to it but prepared for disappointment. Definitely keeping my eyes on this one.
