I honestly don't know, but many of the women in the Mortal Kombat series were very scantily clad up until the more recent releases. I'm guessing that's due to the times and so many getting offended over anything they can. That said, do the outfits match the personality of the character? I'd say Sonya's new commando-ish outfits make sense given her police background.

Never a super big fan of the series. But I will always remember them days fondly when I played MK 2 or 3 with friends back in the day. Good times

After MK9 they started to do the female characters less sexualized and not only in this game, as well the Dead or Alive franchise was affected, that's the reason why we didn't had a release here, guess that the women voice was clear and loud, am not saying that is bad but come on, is just a game.

With the emphasis on different outfits in MK11, perhaps some of the Klassic outfits they bring back in MK12 will be some of the more revealing ones. No harm in options. It would appease those that want more skin and those that don't want more skin. Not sure why that's difficult for some devs to grasp.
That said, many of the female characters don't need to be hanging out like they're from the red light district. Case in point was my example of Sonya above. Then Frost makes sense as having the outfit of Sub-Zero's clan, the Lin Quey. There's reasons for others as well, but I won't bother going into them.
On a slightly different subject, I kept getting Skarlet and Kira mixed up over the years. I heard there was a fan rumor going around that they're one in the same but it's heavily debated amongst the more diehard fans. In MK11, apparently you can make Skarlet look like Kira which is great. Two birds with one stone so to speak. You just have to unlock all the proper gear.
I will add that she looks quite fetching without having to show much of any skin.

Ahhh MK. The absolute in fighting games. I used to actually play in arcades on the weekends and a group of us would drive around looking for new arcades so that we could take on their crews. Ended up placing bets on matches too.
I love MK. Nothing in the genre will ever even come close. Kitana/Sindel/Mileena is always my go-to when I have an option. I also got my boy into the game and he's pretty untouchable as Kung Lao.
I have been following Ed Boon for years and hoping to see an inkling soon of 12. I think it's time (on a side note, I am in the process of trying to get to voice a character for the next game).
