MS Pilot Suits are very streamlined things, unlike our current generation space suits which are stay puff marshmallow man-like. Will they ever be sleek and sexy? It's possible.

I guess this finally answers the question for Soul Bro and those wondering about the issue.

Why Bandai Namco Isn’t Localizing Gundam Vs. Games, And Why Rise of Incarnates Exists

Why hasn’t Bandai Namco localized the 2-on-2 Gundam fighting games? Siliconera asked Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. producer Ryuichiro Baba.

“The Gundam games have an entertaining battle system, which may explain why people are importing them, but the license is a problem,” Baba replied. “In addition to that, in Japan and Asia, anime airs more often on TV where not as much is aired in the US. Also, the Gundam plastic model kits are readily found throughout Asia. The IP in general is much more well received in Asia and Japan.”

“To try to create that for the Western market would be difficult,” he added. Baba also happens to be the executive producer of Rise of Incarnates, and said that this is partly what led to the creation of that game.
