You must´ve missed the fact the models are from DOAX, and there are two DOAX "oufits" in the trailer.
Ah, you're right. I did miss that. I noticed there was something about the renders that looked a bit different from DOA3 at least. What I'm saying still stands, though. One swimsuit doesn't mean anything but something stupid to fight in. I didn't really think the DOAX renders were much of an improvement, though. Regardless, in my opinion, DOA needs a makeover, period. For something that's supposed to be edgey and sexy, it's style is rather ugly and outdated.
But...I guess I can say, I haven't seen all of the costumes...and if there are a lot of completely ridiculous ones, then that makes up for it. Then it's at least silly/funny.
I'm not trying to say I don't like DOA, though...it's quite to the contrary...it's just that they're making it harder for me, because I don't like using characters that don't look good.

Last i heard, there are 108 costumes in DOA:U. And what do you want? Another game with the same old "we want to be photo-realistic" style?
108 total, or per character? 108 total doesn't really say much. Per character...that's amazing. Especially if some of them are crazy/stylish. I try to check out Famitsu every week, which shows a new costume pretty often, but thus far, I've only liked a few.
It's not really that the renders by looking "anime styled" are necessarily bad, I'm simply saying that the design us sub-par. I mean, are you saying that the DOA designs are as good as they can be? That they've improved well with time? Or perhaps that they were so good to begin with that they've held up this long?
To me, the characters have not held up so well with time and the renders, realistic or not, could use a bit of a rehaul. I'll admit to bias only in that I dislike most "typical" anime, and perhaps DOA is catering to this sort of typical style-less "anime" look. If that's the case, so be it...it's doing a good job and I'm the one with the problem. Similarly, if there are even 2 excellent or particularly well-designed costumes per character, I'll take that as well. ^^'''
(I'm sorry if this lacked clarity, because when I say "anime style" in terms of render style, that doesn't bother me so much, but when I say "typical anime style" in terms of design, that bugs me)

Sweet Jesus, man... how is 108 costumes total a bad thing??? Seriously, what do you expect? At least it will be like DOA1 where there was at least 12 or 15 costumes for everyone (some were just crappy color changes, but there were a lot of good ones). They do have to make a whole new model for at least the clothes for each costume... you do know that, right? Personally, I'm happy that there are more costumes available than DOA2... I remember expecting the same number of costumes as DOA1 in the 2nd one and not getting ANYTHING. Maybe 2-4 costumes max for each. That was a disappointment. Then Hardcore came along and gave us a decent amount of costumes. I liked Ayane's Kagero outfit (the Deception 3 thing... at least that's what the US version was named) and Zack's Shadow Man costume. I never did like Zack because he's an irritating character, but I actually WANTED to use him once I got that awesome Shadow Man costume (you've got to love Shadow Man... I wish he'd say those "I am the Lord of Deadside!" kinds of lines... that would have been icing on the cake).
Personally, I've been looking forward to this game, and now I want it even more. Too bad the new DOA characters like Brad aren't in. Then it would have been Most Ultimatest EVAR. Yeah, the fighting's not that deep, but it's fun, I like the characters, and it's not soul-crushingly frustrating like Virtua Fighter 4.
