Adding characters doesn't really mean much, and I wouldn't really say the gameplay improved much. The training arc feel to it really makes it fall flat for me. I guess we have a situation of 'different strokes for different folks', because if you ask me, Estival is an incredible disappointment after Deep Crimson. In the end the Shinovi/Estival gameplay style is fine and works well enough for what they're going for, but it makes the entire experience feel a lot less engaging for me.
Playing Estival right after Valkyrie Drive probably didn't help either, considering VD manages to feel so similar to SK while having a radically improved combat system. It doesn't seem like we have much luck for a VD2, so I really hope whatever new SK action game comes out next, they take design cues from VD, cuz the series would really benefit from it.
Sadly, it seems continuing Estivals trends while mixing in elements of Deep Crimson and Valkyrie Drive will remain a dream and nothing more.

a lot less engaging? the classic Senran Kaguras felt like playing with paper dolls. it has no immersion compared to the Shinovi/Estival formula. Estival just lacked a fascinating plot and went for a training arc instead, which is ok in a sense at least the girls grew from those experiences, but they could get that character development in a proper 'war' too like Shinovi had.
all in all the biggest flaw of EV was lacking option to play versus modes offline, it does have bots. it was the most asinine decision keeping it online only. and also, they could have made the missions more team oriented, the game can support dozens of enemies and ninjas at once. even 10 elites, why not have 4 a.i. partners instead of just one? so there are areas to improve.
Valkyrie Drive is awful. I hate the weapons concept, and the selection is horrible. I rather play Estival Versus.
Street Fighter III quickly found out larger rosters and more favorites is better than cutting characters and focusing on mechanics. that's why SFIV did a major overhaul to try to rebuild the roster so no favorites are missing, but they had to start from scratch so they couldnt add everyone since Alpha 3. then SFV made leaps backwards.
look at SSB Ultimate, thats bringing back EVERYONE and adding more playable on top of that (and making the gameplay fun instead of complicated) thats how Senran Kagura should do with each new game and expand its roster, but keep the overall full 3D 360 degrees format of Estival and basic controls.

I love this game. Took a while to 100% though.Also yes, SK needs to include a ton more characters and exclude none. I'd probably be more interested in the characters introduced in the mobile games (Leo, Souji, etc.) if they were included. 7even, perhaps?

So I finally got around to playing the shinobi duel hearts missions and I picked up some good lore. Apparently Yozakura's gauntlets and Katsuragi's boots are part of one set. It makes complete sense, they look so similar I'm surprised I've never noticed. The duel heart mission is basically them discovering this fact and reading the message that reads something like "the person who wears both parts would have ultimate power". But after the fight they realize there would be consequences. So they came to terms and decided to stick with their own weapon of choice.

So, apparently there's a sale going on for dlc characters (thanks for the heads up from my sister), so I FINALLY got Kagura and Ce Sen (am I saying that right?)! OH MY GOSH! Kagura is a GOD on the battlefield, and Ce Sen (the orange hair one from the Ikki Tousen girls) is so funny and cute to watch in her battle animations. Was a great day!
