THIS IS NOT THE PLAY ORDER, SIMPLY THE WARDROBE LIST.
BT:Before Transform
AT:After Transform

1.1: Ayane: BT: N/A. AT: China girl outfit (Purple), Own hair (Purple), Own headband (Blue). Perfect. (My favourite outfit on my favourite lady. It was really hard for me to choose between Ayane and Hikage for this outfit, but fortunately the Sexy medieval knight costume showed up, and solved that problem. This outfit is particularly great, because it is more a physical manifestation of the basic concept of clothing, without really actually being clothing per se.)
Personal favorite: 10/10
Fun to play: 10/10
Appearance: 10/10

1.2: Hikage: BT: Yozakura's bathing suit (Purple), Own hair (Green), Cat ears (Black), Cat tail (Black). AT: Sexy medieval knight outfit (Purple/green), Own hair (Green), Cat ears (Black), Cat tail (Black). Perfect. (The green trim is really wonderful, as it matches her hair. Hikage has purple attacks, so her outfit has to be purple, but she really does look good in green. Hence the perfection. The kitty ears are not so much in response to her outfit, so much as they are to go with her eyes. Besides, I LIKE cat girls. And I feel like I've been pretty restrained so far, thank you very much.)
Personal favorite: 10/10
Fun to play: 8.5/10
Appearance: 10/10

1.3: Ryouna: BT: Own bathing suit (Blue), Own hair (Yellow). AT: Draping sleeves outfit (Blue), Own hair (Yellow), Own tiara (Silver). Perfect. (Giving up the angel outfit was very difficult, but the way this one moves when she dances - Because she does dance - makes this outfit even better. Besides, she has the build to present it properly, which not everyone has.)
Personal favorite: 10/10
Fun to play: 6/10
Appearance: 10/10

1.4: Yumi: BT: Own bathing suit (Blue), Own hair (Black), Own hair ribbon (White). AT: Renka's outfit (Blue), Own hair (Black), Own hair ribbon (White), Sunglasses (Blue). Perfect. (Giving up the Snow ghost outfit was something I thought I would never do. However, she just looks so darn professional, and I REALLY wanted to use both the outfit and the sunglasses on someone. Yumi and Sonsaku were the only eligible people left - And Sonsaku just isn't professional.)
Personal favorite: 9.5/10
Fun to play: 9/10
Appearance: 10/10


1.5: Ikagura: BT: Own bathing suit (Blue), Kanu's hair (Blue). AT: China dress (Blue), Kanu's hair (Blue), Bracelet (Blue). Perfect. (I like the solid blue effect, and she just looks so elegant.)
Personal favorite: 9/10
Fun to play 9/10
Appearance 10/10

1.6: Rin: BT: Water Queen bathing suit (Purple), Own hair (Purple). AT: Own outfit (Purple/green), Own hair (Purple). Perfect. (Through some trick of insanity, her transformation background is green, but her attacks are purple, despite the fact that every. Single. Other. Character. In the entire game has the same background colour as their attacks. In other news, Rin is not only burning hot, but also easily the most broken character in the game; Reach, big range, extreme power, crazy speed, and all three of her specials have map-clearing AOE and power.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.1: Ryofu: BT: N/A. AT: Sorta cowboy-ish outfit (Green/white), Middle-part hair (Green), Dog collar (Red). Perfect. (It's not perfect, but it's a remarkably good Lamia Loveless. She's also just fun to play.)
Personal favorite: 9.5/10
Fun to play 10/10
Appearance: 10/10

2.2: Homura: BT: Own bathing suit, (Red), Kanu's hair (Red). AT: Sexy santa outfit (Yes, I know; Shut up.) (Red. Duh.), Kanu's hair (Red). Perfect. (I'm still kicking myself for not knowing she had a red hair option. As for the Sexy Santa outfit, I know it's gauche, but it IS hot, and using it on Homura is both good for her, and frees up Kasumi's outfit, which works on EVERYONE. Other then that, I really like the solid red effect. It is my favourite colour, after all.)
Personal favorite: 9/10
Fun to play: 7/10
Appearance: 10/10

2.3: Ryoubi: BT: Mirai's bathing suit (Red), Emo hair (Pink). AT: Succubus outfit (Red), Emo hair (Pink), Devil horns (Red), Devil tail (Reddish). Perfect. (When Ryouki's costume comes up further down this page, the thematic appropriateness of this outfit will become apparent. Though it is already fairly appropriate, considering her personality. It's also just something she looks good in.)
Personal favorite: 7/10
Fun to play: 7/10
Appearance: 8/10

2.4: Yozakura: BT: Hikage's bathing suit (Yellow), Own hair (Dark Blue). AT: Race Queen outfit (Black/yellow), Own hair (Dark blue). Perfect. (I'M CAST IN THE NAME OF GOD; I DON'T CARE, I DON'T CARE RIGHT NOW; IT'S SHOWTIME! IT'S A FUTURE DESTINY; SO LET'S GO O, SO LET'S GO O; I'LL GET MY LIFE BACK ON MY MIND; THE GIG GOES ON, THE GIG GOES ON… Okay, so that was PROBABLY unnecessary, but so what. Also, it is technically off-colour, but it's on-colour ENOUGH, matches her weapons, and she looks damn good in it, so to heck with it.)
Personal favorite: 9/10
Fun to play:8/10
Appearance: 9/10

2.5: Yagyuu: BT: Own bathing suit (Blue), Middle-part hair (White). AT: Pirate outfit (Blue), Middle-part hair (White), Pirate hat (Blue). Perfect. (She has an eyepatch, and fights with a squid. She couldn't be more pirate-y if she was actively trying.)
Personal favorite: 8/10
Fun to play: 9/10
Appearance: 8.5/10

2.6: Ryouki: BT: Ryoubi's bathing suit (Blue/white), Own hair (Black). AT: Ryouna's outfit (White), Own hair (Black). Perfect. (I like how she has some clothing from both of her sisters, and the Angel outfit really is the only thing she can be put in. Ryouki is a character I like, but she's no fun to play, as she is weak, and has lame specials.)
Personal favorite: 9/10
Fun to play: 5.5/10
Appearance: 9.5/10
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.1: Renka: BT: Short priestess outfit (White/purple), Emo hair (Yellow). AT: Sexy wedding dress (Purple), Emo hair (Yellow), Wedding veil (Purple). Perfect. (Renka is not as broken as, say, Rin, but is pretty damn close. Her level 2 special is a floor-clearer, and her level 3 is devastatingly powerful…if wildly inaccurate. She also has arguably the best theme music in the game.)
Personal favorite: 9/10
Fun to play: 10/10
Appearance: 9/10

3.2: Yomi: BT: Own bathing suit (Green), Own hair (Yellow). AT: Sexy maid outfit (Green), Own hair (Yellow), Own hat (Green). Perfect. (Given that the Sexy maid outfit is her basic outfit only, well, sexier, it was just the obvious choice.)
Personal favorite: 9/10
Fun to play: 7.5/10
Appearance: 10/10

3.3: Miyabi: BT: Own bathing suit (Black), Homura's hair (White), Cat ears (Black), Cat tail (Black). AT: Festival happi (Black/red) Homura's hair (White), Cat ears (Black), Cat tail (Black). Perfect. (She, like hikage, has kitty eyes, so I made her a cat girl also. As for the happi coat, well, Miyabi needs a little red on her outfit, as her attacks are quite red, and it also just wasn't working for anyone else. MOST IMPORTANTLY: The only thing that makes her look like a man is her hair. Change that, and her femininity is obvious.)
Personal favorite: 8.5/10
Fun to play: 10/10
Appearance: 9/10

3.4: Shiki: BT: Own bathing suit (Red), Kanu's hair (Pink). AT: Own outfit (Red), Kanu's hair (Pink), Own hat (Red). Perfect. (She looks just like Vannessa from the first luminous arc. It's not a perfect resemblance, but a DAMN good one. Shiki is also an odd character, in that she is mid-range. But her level 3 special is devastating.)
Personal favorite: 8/10
Fun to play: 7.5/10
Appearance: 10/10

3.5: Asuka: BT: Murakumo's bathing suit (Green), Own hair (Brown). AT: Murakumo's outfit (Green), Own hair (Brown). Perfect. (She carries a Katana and a Wakizashi, so I had to put her in a samurai outfit. Asuka is fun to play - saving her terrible specials - but not really that cool a character.)
Personal favorite: 5/10
Fun to play: 7.5/10
Appearance: 7/10

3.6: Hanabi: BT: School bathing suit (Yellow), Yumi's hair (Yellow-Orange). AT: Sexy miko outfit (Yellow/purple), Yumi's hair (Yellow-Orange), Sexy miko headdress (Yellow/purple). Perfect. (It's like they who invented her thought: "I'll combine happosai with an old-school japanese construction worker, and then make it a sexy woman." I'm not arguing with the results, but the creation process must have been odd.)

4.1: Naraku: BT: TBA. AT: TBA
Personal favorite: 9/10
Fun to play: UNK. But likely above 8, as that is consistent for DLC characters in this game.
Appearance: This changes with clothing, so UNK again.

4.2: Kagura: BT: TBA. AT: TBA
Personal favorite:8.5

4.3: Kanu: BT: N/A. AT: Miyabi's outfit (Green), Own hair (Black). Perfect. (The Ikkitousen characters are all fun to play, even if they can't transform. As for the outfit, well, Kanu just has the height, proportions, and bearing to pull it off properly. It's quite nice.)
Personal favorite: 8/10
Fun to play: 8/10
Appearance: 8/10

4.4: Sonsaku: BT: N/A. AT: Camisole (Blue), Own hair (Orange-Yellow). Perfect. (For various reasons, she needs to be in a skirt. This is simply the best one.)
Personal favorite: 8/10
Fun to play:8/10
Appearance: 8.5/10

4.5: Jasmine: BT: N/A. AT: Military outfit (Black), Own hair (Black), Military hat (Black). Perfect. (It's off-colour, but it just looks so damn good this way! Jasmine is very meh all round.)
Personal favorite: 6/10
Fun to play: 7/10
Appearance: 8/10

4.6: Daidoji: BT: Tokonatsu bathing suit (Yellow), Yumi's hair (Gold). AT: Evil priestess outfit (Gold), Yumi's hair (Gold), Evil priestess hat (Gold). Perfect. (Daidouji is also very meh all round, and is really only wearing this outfit so I'll have somewhere to put it.)
Personal favorite: 6/10

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.1: Murasaki: BT: Own bathing suit (Black), Own hair (Purple). AT: Ryofu's outfit (Black/purple), Own hair (Purple). Perfect. (She is #1 in the game in certain respects, and this outfit is very good at showcasing that. She's also quite fun to play, and WILL be higher up on the play order once I scrap this stupid cycle approach to the play order.)
Personal favorite: 8/10
Fun to play: 7.5/10
Appearance: 8.5/10

5.2: Imu: BT: Hawaiian outfit (Yellow/red), Middle-part hair (Brown) Flower (Red and yellow). AT: Y T-shirt (Yellow), Middle-part hair (Brown). Perfect. (Imu is extremely fun to play, and she also will be quite high up in the revised play order. As for the outfit, well, I figure it matched the one her sister (Murasaki) was wearing, and it was the right colour.)
Personal favorite: 7.5/10
Fun to play:10/10
Appearance: 8/10

5.3: Ayame & Katsuragi: BT: Katsuragi's bathing suit, Own hair. AT: Shop apron, Own hair. (All clothes are red for Ayame, and blue for Katsuragi.) Perfect. (I have them dressed this way because Ayame is basically a palate swap Katsuragi.)
Ayame:

Katsuragi comes immediately after in play order.

5.4: Haruka: BT: Nurse outfit (White), Own hair (Brown), Nurse hat (White). AT: Own outfit (Pink), Own hair (Brown), Own hair ribbon (Pink). Perfect. (Haruka has weird hit boxes, which is unfortunate, because her music is great, and I kinda like her. She's also weak, unfortunately, and unwieldy as hell.)
Personal favorite: 6.5/10
Fun to play: 4/10
Appearance: 7/10

5.5: Murakumo: BT: Asuka's bathing suit (Blue), Homura's hair (Blue). AT: Kasumi's outfit (Blue), Homura's hair (Blue). Perfect. (Murakumo is one of those things that looks good on paper, but sucks in practice, much like a conservative government. She is tall, strong, and sexy, but also saddled with that godawful mask, weird hit boxes, and terrible theme music.)
Personal favorite: 6/10
Fun to play: 5.5/10
Appearance: 9/10

5.6: Hibari: BT: Minori's bathing suit (Yellow), Emo hair (Yellow). AT: Sexy samurai outfit (Yellow), Emo hair (Yellow), Sexy samurai crown (Yellow). Perfect. (I shall never like Hibari. She is always a pain in the ass to use. Inaccurate, weak, and just all around terrible. I am, however, proud of this look for her, as it is pretty damn good.)
