So what you're saying is that the actual game *could* have used a design like that, but deliberately went for pedobait.
Says a lot about how the company views its fanbase, rightly or wrongly.

Is Yu the closest we'll get to having a classy Chinese girl?

Considering how her character is described in the materials, I think the idea of making her a child was a narrative/character choice.
But yeah, the fact that they accepted (or instructed) the design Harada submitted does say a lot, not that it's any surprise, Wu isn't the first one.
You mean the girl who is literally naked on her most iconic ascension?

The most classy Chinese girl we have is Yang Guifei, at least her last Ascension isn't the most iconic one.
Qin Liangyu is also quite well-dressed. Jing Ke has a good wardrobe but loses class points for her personality.
I agree on Jing Ke but I don't know about Liangyu... bodysuits are a Lancer's favorite but not what I'd call classy.
Maybe they thought there was too much overlap with Semiramis?

Saberfaces exist. That is not an issue whatsoever.

Wu's seiyuu I like in her other roles. Same deal with Kana Asumi's work for Chacha
Serious Chacha actually sounds great! We need Avenger Lady Yodo.
Not to harp on the comparisons, but much like Chacha there's a specific reason she's NOT manifested as an adult.
Though I guess I'm in a minority where her attire just doesn't bother me. It's not even as bad as Shuten Douji (which nobody really seems to mind) or Jack's thong (which is definitely
inappropriate considering she does behave like a child).
Could she have been better designed- sure, just look at Benienma. Is this a dealbreaker- well, not for me at least.

shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
I don't like how Shuten uses duct tape instead of clothes either but the combination of a ribbon and a loincloth is definitely worse.

And while I like the justification for her being a child, I still think it exists in detriment of her character (unlike Chacha). Instead of an empress whose threat of torture is legitimately scary (aka better Carmilla) she's a try-hard kid I don't take seriously.
