I decided to take a closer look at Rain's costume from the trailer, break it down, and compare it to his costumes from MKA and MK9:
http://i.imgur.com/zkpR9OW.jpg

Starting with Rain's head, he's got his MKA ponytail back but his hair isn't as stylish as it was in the front. He has his purple mask, difficult to tell if it is a mask or a veil like it's previously been. From different perspectives from other people, it's a veil or a mask. The top part seems to form into something that resembles a crown and circles around to the back of his head.

With his chest, the purple sash now parts to his sides rather than make that V-shape that it usually does in previous games. He has a lot of skin exposed when he's previously been covered up mostly. He continues to have a gold plate over his chest with some crevasses in it, as well as a purple jewel in the center of it. Then there's a gold belt around his waist which has a purple jewel as well. His back is difficult to see, but it looks like it's fully clothed in purple.

With his arm, a lot of skin is exposed with a gold band around his biceps. He also has a gold armguard with purple jewels in them and he has lost the fingerless gloves that he has had before. It seems like there's something that runs up the back of his hand, but it may just be a shadow. Then he has golden plates over his shins rather than the purple straps from MKA or the purple leg guards from MK9, as well as golden steel toe boots.

I've seen a lot of people saying he looks too similar to his MKA outfit, when really just the ponytail is the only similar thing, and a bit of the mask/crown. Everything else with his MKX outfit is completely detailed differently from that costume and his MK9 one as well (yes, I've seen some people claim he looks similar to his MK9 outfit). Is this to say he's playable in MKX? I'd say so. At least in my own opinion, NRS wouldn't go out of their way creating such a different costume with that much detail for someone who's just going to be a cameo. Which I might add, a cameo that involves him fighting alongside Mileena against Kotal Kahn. But remember, this is just my opinion and thoughts about it. I know many others share a different view. I just wanted to share how different Rain's outfit in this is in comparison to his older outfits.

I'm not the biggest Rain fan, but why not make him playable?

Most of the new games have had a roster of just under 30 with or without DLC.

He's not a bad character. Hardly anyone in the series is. I can think of like maybe seven or eight characters who just need to be reworked massively, but they're not inherently bad.

Besides why go through the trouble of making models for Rain and Shinnok if they wouldn't be playable? There's a lot they're not telling us. Just like always.

That's a great gif by the way, I had like six or seven ideas for making a video with it but the lack of footage made me just go with the Rick James/Chappelle thing.
