Its the same damn thing every game.

The only time Taki actually looked slightly different in her 1P costume in SC was in 3 with her suit being blue, but even then the outfit design itself didn’t really change much.
 
Taki's SCII P3 and SCIII P2 outfit is the only time she hasn't looked like she was designed by a 15-year old boy.

I actually hate her overall design, alot.

We need more monsters and animal creatures in Soul Calibur like Lizardman, Nightmare, Algol or Astaroth

As much as I like using characters like Lizardman, Nightmare, etc, I also appreciate their distinctness within the roster. One thing I liked about Soul Calibur is that the world--for a time--seemed to be somewhat ordinary outside of Soul Edge's influence. Sure you had an unusually active Greek pantheon, mystical figures from ancient times, and the occasional Jell-o Fury, but these were kind of hidden to the outside world.

It's one of the things I didn't dig about SCV. The world had become much more openly fantastical with the whole malfested business, and stages where giant monsters are flying around willy-nilly, and characters like ZWEI and Viola just show up with completely new forms of magic whose sources are unexplained. It started looking more like Lord of the Rings.

When everything is fantastical, the fantastical characters and occurrences themselves feel a little less special.

I still want Olcadan to come back though. If boring ol' Edge Master can be in two (maybe three) games, then owlguy should get another shot too.

I know EdgeMaster was Kilik's master and he gave Xianghua a new sword when she lost the Krita - Yuga after defeating Nightmare & Inferno in SC1, but he's a mimic. Having a mimic in SCVI will just be a waste of a character slot.
 
Say, if Edge Master does come back, it'd be really cool if they let you choose one of two styles for him. The first would be using him as a mimic (which shouldn't take any additional work besides modeling), as expected, but the second would be using him with a unique longsword (like in all of his artwork) moveset, possibly inheriting from the old Darth Vader style (minus Force moves. Probably.)

They could do something similar with Olcadan if they ever brought him back. Have the mimic style as per history, and a unique style, maybe based on an expanded form of the Grieve Edge moveset from SCIII (what with the owl talons).

The mimic characters are some of the least popular in the series, and I think giving them a moveset identity while also retaining the mimic option would be a great way to make them more attractive.
 
I love Taki's designs. Really excited to see her in VI.

Color
Despite most of her art depicting her outfit as red, it's actually majenta in SC1 and 4. Almost pink, actually. I hope her outfit is actually red this time, but with color edits it's not a big deal.

Armor
I loved the demon motif in her SC1 and 3 armor. Her SC2 armor felt a bit too plain, while her SC4 armor, like many of the characters, felt over-designed. One of my absolute favorites, which will probably remain forgotten, is her SC1 P2 armor. Her shoulders are bare, but she has a single badass dragon gauntlet on her left arm (the one she blocks with, naturally). Asynchronous armor looks cool and makes sense for Taki, so I'd love to see this armor design return.

Masks
In my opinion, Taki needs a mask. Since armor breaks are in SC6 (sigh...) they'll probably give her one only to have it destroyed mid-fight. My favorite has always been the simple cloth mask from SC1, and my least favorite is the SC3 mask. I feel like all the details on her SC3 mask get lost when she's moving around. That said, I hope it (and all her masks) are available to her as clothing options.

Boob Window
No strong feelings on this issue, but I'd prefer they forego it. Her outfit is sexy enough without cleavage. Besides, Ivy and Sophitia will probably already have that covered.

Pointy Nipples
Please no. As much as I love nipples (and Taki's nipples in particular), they completely distract from the rest of the outfit.

My last wish would be that they bring back Fujiko Takimoto to voice Taki, as she did in SE - SC3. Will also never happen, but I can dream.
