Well they haven't yet. He had that outfit in Soul Calibur 3, too.

Actually, his soul calibur 3 look is this:

uh no. it's just a rapier.

what would maxim's sword be doing in a completely unrelated series?

Raphael looks a lot cooler in his concept art than he does in the game.

He looks like a geek in the game.

Hahaha, if Raphiel looked like that during actual gameplay, I'd have a new character! It's so annoying how much better characters look in concept art and, in some games, cut scenes then in the game! Tales of Symphonia-gorgeous cut scenes, crappy in game graphics. It's those stupid cheap companies that produce them! We should attack them, take the producers hostage (sorry Iga) and force them to make better graphics! Who's  with me?!

Well, it's very different to make a gorgeous piece of art outside of a game then to get said art (especially when turned to polygons) working efficiently within a game's engine.

The reason most in-game art doesn't reach the complexity of it's out-game cousins is because the systems usually can't handle it.

Also, the concept artists and sprite/polygon artists can often be two different people (or sets of people) entirely.
