veteran Anna Williams is returning to the roster, and while her redesign seems to be going down well with most fans, some aren't so sure and are even

.

When one fan asked Tekken game director and chief producer Katsuhiro Harada if the development team could bring back the "old Anna design,"

, saying: "If you prefer the old design, I am not taking those away from you."

"While 98% of the fans are welcoming this, there will always be people like you," Harada wrote. "I understand and sympathize that it may not suit your personal taste, but if you prefer the old design, past works already exist. I am not taking those away from you.

"Also, you refer to yourself as 'Anna fans,' as if you represent all Anna fans, but you should express your opinion as an individual.

"You threaten to quit if she isn’t brought back. You complain the moment she is brought back. You demand that she be reverted after she has been completely redesigned from scratch, including her model and framework," he added. "And if she actually were reverted, you’d just say, 'That’s recycling!'

"Either way, your method of expressing your opinion and the content of your argument are entirely unconstructive, utterly pointless, and, above all, disrespectful to the other Anna fans who are genuinely looking forward to her."

When another commenter

that Tekken "hasn’t rereleased one of [its] older games into modern systems with functional netcode" and summarized Harada's response as "a joke," the director said: "Thank you for POINTLESS reply. You yourself are the joke. MUTED."

As mentioned, reaction to Anna's new design is largely positive, although there are some complaints, mostly around her outfit. "Before she was announced I was hoping for an edgier, angry, violent Anna out for revenge for her fiance's death and so I'm quit happy with this design!"

"The hair is growing on me. It really suits the outfit and personality well. It wont look good on all her outfits naturally, but her original bob will still be available.

"Coat was ruined for me when it was pointed out the resemblance to Christmas. The leotard, tights, boots and gloves all look fantastic though so looking forward to being able to take off the coat."

"Love everything but the white feathers,"

. "It’s giving Santa Clause."

"Aside from looking like Santa Claus, she looks a lot younger than she did in Tekken 7 and before,"

. "She looks like less of a 'woman' now and more like a girl. I don't get the dominatrix vibe from her at all anymore."

"Horrible,"

. "It’s another overdesigned T8 look, feels like almost every costume in this game lacks a real focal point and everyone is just decked out in 100 bulky accessories from head to toe. I’d like it a lot more without the coat, or at the very least if the whole outfit didn’t look like Santa cosplay. You can’t have a bright red coat with white fur trims and a ****** belt and read as anything other than Santa."

, awarding it 9/10. "Interesting tweaks to its classic fighting systems, a full suite of fun offline modes, great new characters, incredible training tools, and a vastly improved online experience all add up to a fighting game I will be playing for many years to come. By honoring its legacy, but continuing to move forward, Tekken 8 manages to stand out as something special."
