Character Customization in Beast of Reincarnation

There is no character creator in Beast of Reincarnation -- you play as the fixed protagonist Emma, and cosmetic customization is limited entirely to outfit and skin items tied to specific editions rather than an in-game wardrobe system you build up through play.

Koo Gets Most of the Options

Koo has two confirmed skins: a Brown Shiba Skin (included with any pre-order, regardless of edition) and a Black Shiba Skin (Digital Deluxe Edition only). Both are purely cosmetic reskins of his appearance with no gameplay effect.

Emma Has Exactly One Cosmetic

Emma's only confirmed cosmetic item is the "Oni's Hat," a Digital Deluxe Edition exclusive. There is no confirmed outfit, armor, or wardrobe system for her beyond this single hat.

A Real Community Complaint Worth Knowing About

This asymmetry has been a genuine point of criticism from the community ahead of launch -- a detailed Steam Community feature request specifically asked Game Freak for more outfit variety for Emma, comparing the lack of protagonist customization unfavorably to how games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and God of War use gear and clothing changes as a form of earned player expression. As of the last pre-launch materials, no additional Emma cosmetics beyond the Oni's Hat had been announced, though the request explicitly floated the idea as a possible post-launch addition.

Editions: What You Actually Get

The Standard Edition ($54.99) includes the full campaign. Anyone who pre-orders either edition receives a Brown Shiba Skin for Koo and 30,000 Amber (in-game currency) -- this bonus is not an early-access or scarcity mechanic, since it's available up until launch regardless of when you buy.

The Digital Deluxe Edition (roughly $10 more) adds the Black Shiba Skin for Koo, the Oni's Hat for Emma, the named starting sword Big Dipper, 100,000 Amber (versus 30,000 standard), and a set of vegetable seedlings whose exact function in the progression system hasn't been detailed by the official store description.

Worth noting: a physical Deluxe Edition appears to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive as of pre-launch materials -- Xbox and PC players are expected to have digital-only access to the Deluxe tier.
