Speaking of Ruru and Emiru, it would be nice to see a Cure who isn't 12-13 years old, especially if it happens to be the main Cure.

And I also think that it would be interesting if the Cures' outfits were more similar than they were different. That hasn't happened since Happiness Charge. Keeping in mind in Japanese culture that probably wouldn't be seen as a (problematic) age gap? I'm not Japanese myself and I only really dabble in the culture, but I think it's safe to say that Ruru (I'm so used to the Subs, gotta be better about those Rs and Ls) and Emiru are portrayed to have more than platonic feelings for one another... in a very positive way in addition. They are crucial to the team (as partners/as a couple) as they have (up until the Team attacks) dealt the more powerful blows.

I also agree that it would be nice to see a Cure that isn't [demographic age insert] as in Heartcatch I really enjoyed that Cure Moonlight was a highschooler. They might bring that character trait/trope back in harkening back to Heartcatch, if they decide to go that route.

I agree, it would be nice to see a more coesive team ensemble as far as outifts go. Seeing as the charater designer from Smile! will be back, we should (?) expect to see something of that nature. Pretty Cure is, from Bandai's selling perspective, meant to be the "girls Power Ranger".
