When the guys at Soul Calibur ran out of ways to make Sophitia’ outfit any worse, they decided to retire the character and introduce a new character, Elysium, who could wear even more ridiculous outfits because she’s an “angel” and so doesn’t have to worry about constraints of reality.

Not that Soul Calibur’s outfits for female characters have ever had anything to do with reality – it’s merely taking them one step closer towards the game’s Final Form.
