He's got a point, Aku. Also, I really wish we COULD get proper hakama, keiogi, and haori (especially if we could get Shinsengumi versions), my main katana scrapper looks very bad in a suit, so it would be nice if he could dress in Japanese formal wear.

In all seriousness however, I think the strongest argument against an Anime Booster Pack would be that their are SO many Anime-based MMORPGs already available. Most of them free too. It would be like putting out a Medieval Booster pack that would give Armor and Robe costumes. Those themes have been done, and are pretty prevalent on a lot of the competitions' products.

I find one of the biggest strengths to the CoX IP is that it lends itself as a niche-filler. The universe that the players inhabit when they play this game can range from Werewolves to Space Aliens to Special Ops Mercenaries. Given that strength, I would think it would behoove ParagonStudios to focus on those outside niche markets rather than try and re-do what's already been done. In that vein, I would buy an Arabian Night, or Victorian (Nemesis anyone?) Booster Pack over an Anime one.
