Best example I can think off for this already happened.

Good design, but what's up with the weird thigh window?

Oh, wait. It's gone now. Thanks Sakurai!

You might think it's all about the boobs, but what I'm most excited for is the removal of that stupid face tattoo.

Hooray for boobs though

Some of the armour breaks in FE Warriors ended up being decent alternatives to the characters' main costumes - one character who really benefited was Camilla, whose original outfit was a bit convoluted, especially where the crotch windows and cleavage seatbelt were concerned.

Link -- the BOTW design -- but you can change the gender/skin color at the beginning. "Link" is easily a female name, as it is not a name, but an identity. Link and Zelda and Ganon are formless entities across space & time, they are ideas and roles, yet always manifested white and blonde.

White & blonde can remain the default but Being able to choose and play as a brown-skinned Link would be delightful.
this isn't really a subtle design change, you're asking for a whole new feature

Lose the high heels, get something more sporty. More unkempt bangs, rather than that ridiculous plastic Barbie coif. Confident eyes, rather than a vacant sex-doll stare.

For good measure, probably also lose the beauty mark/move it to someplace less cliche/give her something cooler and more reflective of her job like a little scar or two.

It is, but the end result happens to look better. Similarly, I prefer the simplicity of the Fusion tank top to the Zero Suit in Smash 4 - though it'd be improved by having regular boots instead of the default's jet heels strapped over the top of the original costume's boots, which seems a bit messy.

The end result doesn't look better at all, and Zero Suit Samus design (without the heels) is hard to top

The beauty mark seems like a weird thing to get caught up on. There are only so many places on the face and I think it's dumb to outright remove it. People have moles.

This is illegal.

OG faith looks like a real human bean, this edit makes her looks gross and squishy and too soft for her personality. Way way too young looking.

People got genuinely mad about this change. I'm on your side I actually think it looks good.

Bigger boobs and eyes and keeping the face tattoo seems like a good in between :)

I'm really not a fan. Blacking out all of the skin on a design really doesn't constitute a cohesive improvement - you might as well just give her Xander's outfit.

I guess we just have different priorities, I've never particularly liked any incarnation of the Zero Suit.

On the subject of the Zero Suit heels, I wouldn't mind a version of the suit with bare hands and feet, like this Super Metroid art.

latest


It'd help reinforce the idea of it being something worn to connect with the suit, though it wouldn't really work in the context of something like Smash.

Similarly, having the Zero Suit half-undone with sleeves tied around the waist and a tank top underneath could be a good way to vary the look a bit in a future game.

People have moles sure, but Samus didn't get one until the one game where her character was mercilessly slaughtered and every aspect of her was seemingly changed to best fit Sakamoto's tastes. So the mole is conspicuous. Seems like it was only added because he has a thing for it.

It was meant to be there for quite some time - it was mentioned in a Super Metroid interview, and concept art notes for Metroid Prime note the placement of it, though it didn't make it to the final model.

However, I agree that Other M being the game to introduce it pretty much made it impossible for it to be viewed separately from that game's legacy and interpretation of Samus.

I never really liked how in Wind Waker Tetra transforms from this...

To this...

The transformation changed her skin color but not her weird lime green hair??

Some modders seem to have fixed it a bit, at least.

Noctis will always look like a goob to me with his default outfit, but I feel he would've looked a lot better if they just added a little more length to his apparel

2B's design is perfect

Shirtless Vaan would be great. The pirate shirt from Advance would be fine without the vest. Short sleeves would be fine too. Simply don't think the vest matches his face

I imagine whoever drew it wanted to keep it recognizable as her armor, but with actual pants and a chest piece. An improvement over a complete trash fire, at any rate.
I agree that starting over with Xander's armor as a base would be preferable, but that wouldn't be exactly in the spirit of a "subtle" change, lol.

Resident evil Remake Jill's default outfit, remove those horrendous shoulder pads.

Glad the remaster lets you choose the much more practically realistic looking outfits for both Chris and Jill.
