Line 369:
* ''[[Street Fighter]]'' does this a bit. Ryu is only ever seen in a karate gi (apparently, it's all he ''has'' to wear), Sakura still wears a schoolgirl uniform even when she's supposed to be ''20'', Dan only ever wears a pink gi, and even when M. Bison [[Grand Theft Me|changes bodies]], he's always got the same getup. Not to mention Zangief running around in a Speedo... in the cold Russian north... at playgrounds full of children...
** Averted with two characters in ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' games: Athena and Benimaru receive new costumes with every sequel. This also holds true to the [[Capcom vs. Whatever|crossover games.]] Kyo, Terry, and Kensou also have gotten new duds in the series, but not at the frequency the former two have.
* SinceBecause, unlike most [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]]s, the outfits in ''[[City of Heroes]]'' are unrelated to actual equipment (which exists in a more abstract form) and mostly determined at character creation, this was originally the case, with each hero is generally stuck with one outfit (possible with a [[Palette Swap]] if the character is in a supergroup).

Ultimately it was possible to have ten different outfits.
** Mostly averted since the game's resurrection in 2019. About half a dozen or so of the ten possible costume slots start off unlocked in the revived game, and the remainder are (still) rewards for completing missions or returning certain salvage items to special NPCs.
* [[Justified Trope]] in ''[[Devil Survivor]]'', as the characters are caught in a lockdown a good distance from their homes for the course of the game.
* ''[[Disgaea]]''. Most of the female characters have more than one outfit, but for the guys, it's to the point where Laharl ''[[Fridge Logic|sleeps with shoes on]].''
