Hah, true.
...Back on topic. I was looking at characters designs for MMORPGs and stuff some time ago. Someone needs to explain to me why anyone would fight in a bikini top and very short shorts/skirts...If you're in any sort of battle, you'd want to wear at LEAST some leather armor, right...? And TBH, your torso is a highly vulnerable area. STONEWALL WAS A RIOT | ||||

well... i think it used to be the stronger you were the less armor you wore because you were so awesome you didn't need it?

As I said, I had to modify my understanding of the situation in order to account for the fact that some girls like chainmail bikinis. Not just accept them, but like them and seek them out.
The chainmail bikini isn't intended to be armor at all, thematically speaking. (That it provides statistics is simply game mechanics and isn't necessarily correlating with why such equipment is desirable.) It is, rather, psychological -- it says "I'm powerful and confident, I don't need armor to beat you, and I like being sexy." I wouldn't be surprised if these women are in the minority, but they exist and they deserve a voice too. But I would love to see more women like Samus Aran or Sgt. Calhoun who wear full body armor yet still know how to hold onto their femininity. Games by Coda (updated 4/15/2024 - New game: Call of Aether)

I'd fight in the Japanese and Korean outfits that I have in Aion if only they ddn't take up the Tops slot and have no stats attached to them.

Well, even on men, less armor meant that you valued mobility more than protection. Skilled fighters would just wear plates on the places that were most likely to get hit while leaving the rest of the body unencumbered.
A chainmail HALTER TOP would actually make a lot of sense, by this strategy. It would protect the heart, the leather underlayer would protect the breasts, and it would leave the waist and shoulders unrestricted for greater freedom of motion, AND it would still satisfy people who want to see a lot of skin on the character.
