Ma Chao's is really nice from DW2 to DW5 (unless the DW4 one sucks a bit) But in DW6 he lost a bit of charisma even if he's still cool.

Wei Yan designs in DW3 and 6 rock a lot.

Lu Bu is really charismatic with his DW6 attire , he looks demoniac , which fits him very well.

Hum , Huang Zhong is really great in DW6 too , I love his new look.

I love Sun Shang Xiang's DW3, DW5, and DW6.

DW6:Her look in this is pixie like, its different and fits her I think.She has changed alittle too.I love her shoes.Overall, still a tomboy but with attitude.

DW5: This one is just very sheek, this is one of her best.I love the colors too.

DW3: I just loved DW3, and this is when I first saw her.It was just a kool outfit I think.

Sun Ce:DW3, DW5, DW6.

His DW6 outfit is the best one yet!It fits his personality, he looks like a leader.

DW5:Not my favorite one, but its a good costume.

DW3: He was so kool in DW3!This costume is so awsome!

Lu Bu: His DW6 one definately is the best one for him!It matches his personality, and the colors go with him.Same with DW5, sorta.

Xiao Qiao: Her DW6 costume was the best!It shows her energetic personality and she looks like a Vogue- type of model.Her DW3 was good too, the colors were really good.Same with DW5.

Pang Tong:I love his DW6 outfit!!!It is soo different.His DW3 and DW4 one are good too.

The characters who I think got the better makeovers...

1. Cao Ren
2. Sun Jian
3. Sun Quan
4. Liu Bei
5. Lu Meng
6. Zhang Liao

Those six by far, have the best makeovers, in my personal opinion.

1. Sun Quan - I just love everything about him. From his beard to his hair, hard rock abs, the way he walks, and that delicious voice of his. <333

2. Sun Jian - He is just love his design in DW6. I can see where his boys get their good looks. :hehe:

3. Liu Bei: Pre DW6, his stache and voice was the only main reason I was remotely interested in him.

4. Sun Ce: Just as cute as his brother and handsome like his father. Of course he is on my list. <33

5. Sun Shang Xiang: Pre DW6, I loved her tomboyish design compare to that ridiculous clown outfit she is sporting all of a sudden.

6. Zhang He: He has a such a great sense of style and grace. I think it suits him beautifully~

Up until DW 6, Zhange He always had the best of outfits, in my opinion. (Though Lu Bu and Sima Yi gave him a good run for his money.)

I loved how complex his outfits were; they simply weren't fit for either gender! The outfit could only work on Zhange He, if that makes any sense.

And now...WTF, Koei? It's a nice outfit, but I think they went to the extremes for Zhang He's DW6 outfit. Zhang used to look dainty and elegant! Now it looks like he's stolen from a queen's closet...

Well overall in DW6 I was reallly pleased with their changes so far. I think most of them looks sooooooo cooooooooooolllllll!!!
1) Ma Chao- the whole series in DW, I never ever ever saw him expose his hair or his true self I think... he looks like a new guy and even my sister was so shock and she thinks that he kinda looks like a GOD!!! I mean the whole game he juz wearing helmet to cover it up his true face, wouldn't u b boring with it... so i think he changes most of all
2) Sun Quan- yeah juz as kazxjun state, he's really good looking now!!! At least its better than the previous, same command as the 1) one
3) Sun Jian- Good image for his own age, why, he fights like he's still age 20's and he looks much more younger than the other series, same command goes to Huang Zhong and Huang Gai
4) Liu Bei- still ok to me, he looks really young and active
5) Shang Xiang- she looks sooooo cute with her outfit!!! Its look like Lily flower
6) Lu Xun- same command as 1 and 2, for the first time!!! He looks sooooo damn good without his hat and his outfit overall was superb!!!
7) Dond Zhuo- yeah that's the image i've been waiting for years!!! His looks totally suit him as a Tyrant king!!!
8) Cao Pi- I like the way his in shorten hair, looks cool!!! and nice outfit :rolleyes:
And many more... Oh..... I really hope that I could write out more...

I Like all the models, so I'm gonna be silly and say my fave for each character! :lol:

Shu
Zhao Yun: DW3, better graphics version would look cooler
Guan Yu- DW5, this is how I would see Guan Yu to be, not the DW6 one.
Zhang Fei- DW1- It is simple and easy, and suits him well
Zhuge Liang- DW3, I just prefer this over the overs for some reason...
Liu Bei- DW6, never been a fan of the old face, but the new one is good.
Ma Chao-DW3:XL alt costume, I really like the idea of a silver Ma Chao instead of Gold.
Huang Zhong-DW6, His hair makes him look cooler for some reason.
Jiang Wei-DW6DW2, I always though this was a good design for him, not to flashy, like Jiang Wei
Wei Yan- DW5- he doesn't look to much like an clown there, or a creepy croc man!
Pang Tong- DW3, made him look strange and suspitous, and you can only see his eyes, making out that he was ugly
Yue Ying-DW6, she does look at alot hotter/cooler than her previous designs
Guan Ping- DW5 2nd costume, I think the red suits him and his weapon
Xing Cai- DW5 4th costume, I like the idea of her trying to be like Guan Ping's 2nd costume, looks good

Wei
Xiahou Dun- DW6, His short hair and battle armour in this seems alot cooler to the eye
Dian Wei-DW2, I actually like this design, but I really don't like his DW6 though...
Xu Chu-DW6, he looks cuter now instead of just being a fat lard.
Cao Cao-DW4 3rd costume, He had fire on his cape, that to me was cool enough
Xiahou Yuan- DW5, I really like his armour there and his helmet is kind of cool aswell
Zhang Liao- DW5, This to me was a very cool battle robe, plus his hat was good aswell
Sima Yi- DW3- His hat there suited him, even though his dress was just all purple...
Xu Huang- DW5- This is the coolest to me, as he really suits the turban there.
Zhang He-DW6, even though it looks femanine, it suits the character, which is why I like it
Zhen Ji- DW6, she gets a better model every game.
Cao Ren-DW^, he looks so tough there, but he does look like a transformer....
Cao Pi-DW6, although his DW5 one is good, I like this one just a bit more.
Pang De-DW5 4th costume, with his viser down he looks cooler to use

Wu
Zhou Yu- DW6, I think it's his scarf thingy which beats all the others.
Lu Xun-Dw6, bye bye hat, hello cooler Lu Xun
Taishi Ci-DW6, his helmet and armour is a great combo.
SSX-DW5, she looked more like a tomboy there and was suited for battle
Sun Jian-DW3, i just think his helmet is suits him in this. Plus you get to see his hand under a giant rock.
Sun Quan- DW4, He hat suits him well and it is more color full than the others
Lu Meng- DW5, I liked his armour in that, but the pallet swap was terrable.
Gan Ning-DW6, He does look alot more cooler in this, more crazy looking.
Huang Gai-DW6, atleast he is wearing armour this time. (remembers San Comics)
Sun Ce-DW6, IThink this suited his personality better than the others
Da Qiao-DW3, it was the costume and the hair which made her look cool there
Xiao Qiao-DW3, same as Da, she looker better, and also had a more chiinese look to her
Zhou Tai-DW4, justed loved his cape. it made him look more stylish
Ling Tong-DW6, I just think it looks cooler than his DW5 one, thats all...

Other
Diao Chan-DW6, it fits her perfectly, even tohugh she has no black for Lu Bu's army...
Lu Bu-DW6, he looked ike a monster her, if only they added the DW3 'It's...it's Lu BU!!!!'
Dong Zhou-DW5, he didn't look that fat he and you could actually look at him and not puke.
Yuan Shao-DW3, his hat was just too funny, thats why I just love it.
Zhang Jiao-DW6, it made me laugh so much hen i saw it first, it's soo much funnier than the others.
Meng Huo-DW5, the sheild on his back was cool, even though he still wears a skirt..

Zuo Ci- His DW5 3rd costume, It like him without his straw hat.

Simply put, Zhang He's and Wei Yan's DW6 outfits. They both scare me. I mean IRL of course if I ever met either on them on the battlefield...Wei Yan is a demon fer sheez and Zhang He just looks completely unbalanced. And with his weapon and graceful skill..man it all works together very well.

Could be worse, I suppose
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
I'll probably list more characters later.

Cao Ren

His default DW5 costume is my current favorite. Its various layers seem to provide excellent protection without restricting movement, and its overall look is quite cohesive. I like the gold variant, too, but the blue affords more opportunity for Mega Man references. :lol: His DW4 costumes are a close second because they have a similar overall effect and I like their style. I get a kick out of the variant with the purple helmet plume and mouth guard because it makes him look like a football playing Spartan.

I didn't care for Cao Ren's DW6 look much when I first saw it because it resembled some offspring of Gutsman, R2-D2, and a dumpster. I actually like the boxy armor now, especially because that and the giant trident have spawned all manner of food-related nicknames (Lunchbox, Iron Chef, some that are only funny if you've seen Idiocracy as much as I have). The under-eye bags never grew on me and I doubt they ever will. Bring back the pointies!

Lu Meng

OK, OK, I admit it. I never noticed this guy much before. Then the DW6 artwork came along...and...DAMN. WOW. When did Scruffles get hot? His outfit is simple yet interesting, with multiple layers, subtle patterns in the fabric, and muted colors. The overall effect is subdued - appropriate for a mature strategist with a usually deliberate and thoughtful personality. (I say usually because there is that one scene with Gan Ning that cracks me up every time. Lu Meng really doesn't like being called "old man"... :P)

I'm going to echo the voices that say Lu Meng's DW6 design is the best design in terms of how his character has been presented to us thus far.

Lu Meng's always been a character that it's been difficult to find a visual niche for, since he's such a well-rounded character. He's a passionate, fierce warrior but also a rational, calm and intelligent strategist. The previous DW's solution to finding a sense of iconography to this was to... put him in solid, generic armor. Which can be all well and good - in a larger context, it makes sense but it codes him as 'the basic guy'; the character who's so well-rounded that it seems like he has no personality at all. That's a disservice to the character since it says he has no notable personality, when we all know Lu Meng has tons of personality.

Finally, in DW6 they gave him a design that pays homage to the most important part of his character - his journey from a hot-headed fighter to a wise, powerful and caring general. Lu Meng has always been among the most wise, considerate and kind characters in DW.

Thus, showing him in what looks to be travelers clothing - the clothing of someone who's been on a long journey - makes sense. They've coded him as someone who has been to a place where decoration and the physical appearance is irrelevant, where what matters are the emotional and mental centers. And I think for someone as learned as Lu Meng, it shows him as someone a great deal important than how he appeared before.

Lu Xun in DW6. I kinda dislike his costume in DW5 - it's kinda horrid in my opinion. His new design in DW6 makes him more like a wise young man rather than a teen or something like that....Or his DW4 costume, it's more fitting than his DW5's (although I figure some fans out there would love to see his abs...)

Zhen Ji - her design got better and better in each games and I personally like her DW6 design best. It makes her more of royalty and beautiful. Though I still prefer her flute, her whip suits a lot with her new design, I admit.

Guan Ping - I both like his DW5 and DW6 design, though the DW6 design makes him looks mature.

Cao Pi - He looks better with his new suit and his short hair suits his costumes.

Cao Cao - I'm glad they return some of his old clothes back ; personally I still prefer his DW4 costume because it makes him looks more like a king (and without that silly collar...)

Guan Yu and Sun Jian - I'm gonna categorize this into one because of...their hair! Whoo, it's certainly makes them a lot more cooler! I'm glad KOEI decided to make them abit up to date rather giving them designs of some old man (after all, they have to match their sons in fashion!)

Xiao Qiao - likes her both her costumes in DW6; alas, she looks more mature and less bratty.

Gan Ning - Likes his DW4 and DW6 costume, though I admit his DW6's pretty cool. And more modest.

Overall, I really really like DW6 designs , one of the best, IMO.

Gan Ning up until DW6 was very good. They ruined him though. Guan Yu looked awesome as always. Everyone to be honest looked awesome. Koei outdone themselves every time. Weapons too are amazing. Except Zhang He, he gets a little more "metrosexual" every game. I want to say gay, but thats just stereotyping him down. So yeah, its all good, except once again, Zhang He and Gan Ning in DW6.

Sun Ce- He finally looks like a man who was on the front lines, of war, I did love DW3 costume, but it made him look to royal
Guan Ping- I love his look, but him being in the shadow of his father is a disapointment
Cao Ren-From DW 5 to 6, I thought he couldn't get anymore armor, but he didn't cease to impress, and looks like juggernaut xD
Xiahou Dun- He looks so much beastly in DW 6, just awesome.
Ma Chao- He doesn't seem like that man of justice, but that man of destruction, which I feel is a nice change, especially his weapon xD
Gan Ning- In DW 6 he does not seem as piratish, but more deadly than ever! Especially his new weapons.

Yuan Shao's winning design goes to DW6. He looks awesome. And FABULOUS in the way only a snooty awesome noble such as himself can be. In the previous incarnations he looked like my dad, which kind of scared me.

Pre-DW6, Ma Chao and Liu Bei both had some of my favorite designs. Now they look like icky. How did they let Liu Bei manage to look so BORING?! And Ma Chao, UGH! I want that ridiculously elaborate helmet, not Gan Ning-wannabe hair.

Sun Ce's most fun incarnation is hid DW3 look. CRAAAAB HAAAAAAAAAAAT!

Pang Tong's DW4 and DW6 costumes are both awesome, for different reasons.

Zhang Jiao always looks awesome, because Zhang Jiao is always awesome.

I thought most characters had pretty good designs in DW5
howeeer for character and costume design DW6 was really good with Xiao Qiao, Xu Huang, Zhen Ji, Xu Zhu, Zhang He and Liu Bei

But overall I think Most DW's have decent character design apart from DW4, Dunno why its just I didnt like the characters as much as I usually do.
