I just had to log back on after all this time to respond to this. xD

I do prefer the slight change idea, but some of the hair just bothers me for some reason. The moment I saw the Jupiter sprite with your color edit I was screaming "OHMYGOD MAKOTO'S A GRANDMA! D:" With time I can see the goddess appearance it gives her, but the initial reception of grandma certainly isn't good.

Rei looks reminiscent of a demon. Although, from some of Naoko's pictures, it looks like a demon-esque Sailor Mars was intended. Even so, it just seems strange for someone so evil looking to be on the side of good.

I like the idea of changing the eye colors, but it doesn't work for all of them. Ami already has blue eyes, and Makoto already has green eyes. If "Make-Up!" only affects the eye color of two Soldiers (because giving Sailor Moon albino-pink eyes is just frightening), then that just raises the issue of a lack of consistency.

Giving all of them masks like what you're giving Sailor Moon is, in my opinion, the best idea, so that's where my vote is! :D That and maybe some more curls/frills/length to the hair.

Well, the eye color changes are not really reflected in the sample image yet, Mercury's eyes are supposed to be a lighter blue and Makoto's will also change to a different shade. Mars' can be changed to a darker color to not appear quite so red.

But as has been said, we are trying to keep Naoko's intentions in mind with this game.

I wouldn't be opposed to giving them all masks, but that still doesn't solve the problems of them looking alike. They would need the masks in addition to some appearance changes.

Well you could always give them the original costume designs' mask. Venus, Moon and Mercury (Though Mercury's is the computer screen thing she sports) technically all have theirs from it. Even if the first two lose it after a while.

With the exception of Mercury's visor I agree. The changes are a great idea but I never really liked the mask's. There was a reason they don't appear in the anime or PGSM(besides Sailor V).

What's so horrible about the masks? o.O No one seemed upset that Sailor Moon has one.

I suppose its because people aren't used to them. In the manga Sailor Moon did have her mask, so its not really debatable.

Something I would like to point out is that they didn't have their original Sailor Soldier outfits and masks because Naoko's bosses wanted something simpler. They unfortunately had a lot of influence on what she could do, so there's not much reasoning for some of the changes other than her bosses wanted something easier to make.

I personally think the masks were awesome. It hides their identity which obviously covers up some plot-holes.

You're probably right about people not being used to them. For some reason (as opposed to what I just wrote) I don't really mind you're version of Sailor Moon with the mask. It looks good! Honestly I just really don't like the idea of Sailor Mars with a mask. I also never really like Sailor V's mask. Just my opinion.

If they end up with mask's in the game I'll probably adapt and end up liking them. That wouldn't surprise me at all. If they al end up looking as good as Sailor Moon I will be satisfied.

...For the record the last post I wrote was written in a hurry write before class so I didn't really think before I wrote. Usagi_Hah

...Wait a minute Chains. Didn't you just argue a few posts up that the masks alone don't really do anything to hide their identitys? JupiterBlush

Realistically speaking, appearance changes and masks would be the best course of action. I said that the masks alone do not completely hide their identities. I would think my friends could recognize me if a mask was just covering around my eyes. Likewise, if I just dyed my hair I would think my friends would recognize me. But say, if I was wearing a mask and my hair was a different color, then sure, I could probably pass them without them knowing who I am.

Does that make sense?

Yes, that makes sense. That's what I thought your older post meant.

I was a little confused because the second post in question made it sound like you were only talking about the mask's. Like if you took the way the senshi were in the anime and gave them mask's expecting them it to hide their identity's perfectly.

I understood your older post so that made me confused....and for the record I like the eye color change idea as well.

For the sake of example, this is what the Soldiers would look like if they followed their original concept designs: (Excluding Sailor Moon)
