I haven't bought it but if I'm not mistaken, the Merv tailoring tool allows us to repack a pearl outfit (shark suit) and open the box on another character.

If yes, this is definitely a step in the right direction by providing a more fair shop to your loyal players.

Please expand this tool to every pearl outfit so we could make new characters without feeling that purchase of outfits from old characters has been a waste.

Thanks by advance for your consideration.

Naw, you can turn old outfits into Crons, no need to pack them up, just cron them and get them again.

Must be why Pearl Abyss implemented Merv's tool in the first place. Could you try paying attention.
