The world literally runs off Rule of Sexy. note Something to do with the fundamental magical forces of the universe. Stella Bonasera and Calleigh Duquesne from the CSI Verse wear low-cut versions of the Bulletproof Vest.
Because they have less protection, female adventurers are naturally more vulnerable and have a higher mortality rate. Those who aren't killed amass have plenty of scars, causing them to be viewed as less attractive and undesirable. Thank you Liz, Judy, Barb and Howard for the support and good wishes...and Steve, if you hadn't insisted on 'Stacey Updates' I might not have gone as far as I did with this. . .but I'm so glad I did! There's also the female Rakshassa of the Academy in Heroes V, although this tends to dwell deep into Furry territory... Not That There's Anything Wrong with That.

One of "31 Life Lessons You Can Only Learn From Video Games" is that "the less it covers, the more it protects." Played straight in Soul Nomad and The World Eaters. If you play as a male Revya, he'll be wearing relatively modest leather armor. Female Revya, however, goes shirtless aside from pauldrons and a metal bra. See for yourself. In the Tales (series), it's more surprising when a character wears actual functional armour, regardless of gender. Nanaly Fletch ( Tales Of Destiny 2) and Judith ( Tales of Vesperia) fit this trope to the letter. But the ultimate grand prize goes to Ronodline E. Effenberg [ dead link] from Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon X, who bears the most skin out of any (human) Tales (series) character, managing to wear nothing that could accurately be described as "protection". The Characters are a race of tentacled, exoskeletoned bug-squids whose armor covers only the ovipositor under their eyes.
Edition retains this with a few modifications. It applies only to characters with above average Appearance and limits the bonus to +2 (+3 for a topless woman). For some reason it also makes the characters run and swim faster. World of Warcraft: Some armor for the female Warriors/Paladins makes them look as if they've just come from Victoria's Secret; however, other armor (especially the tier sets from Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm) covers everything to the point of barely being able to tell that, yeah, it's a female toon in that armor. Two Egregious examples are the "Warrior's Embrace" early level 50s chestplate, which fully covers male avatars and is only a pair of breast-covering plate domes on female avatars and the "Iceworn Plate" grey set, which is basically a plate mail bikini. The cloth armor for upper level (70+) female casters, though, have got to be the ugliest and least sexy garments in any video game, ever.That's not all. Just take a look at the female warrior/soldier's outfit. [ dead link] Made even more ridiculous by the fact that her class can wear the heaviest armor, but no matter what you put her in, she'll always look like Red Sonja. This look has actually become quite popular, and further Dragon Quest games often have this female warrior as an NPC. Nearly all the Dalmascan characters wear piecemeal plating over thin leathers or clothing, but this is quite deliberately contrasted with the heavily-armored Judges and Imperial soldiers. Considering the Archaedian Empire is a northern realm, while Dalmasca is almost entirely desert, there's a lot of logic to this one (try fighting in armor in temperate weather for long; it's not easy; imagine how much worse it'd be in a desert). Final Fantasy XI includes a number of Harness/Subligar armor sets which, while varying a bit depending on race and gender, consist of body armor that covers some places and exposes others, and leg armor that covers only the crotch, leaving the legs almost entirely exposed or covered in skin-tight material that is usually flesh-toned (though one set in particular has navy blue material covering the legs). One particular piece of leg armor, the Republic Subligar, is the best equipment available to almost all melees over a wide range of levels, and thus is extremely common, even though players frequently express disgust and horror at witnessing Galka, male Elvaan, and male Hume models in this gear. There is a goddess of war and sex, and use of this trope might help you acquire her favor which will help in battle. It is worth noting that this goddess this goddess doesn't seem to discriminate genders. Link (NSFW). In Final Fantasy X, Yunalesca dons a metal bikini, with the top exposing a generous amount of cleavage and the bottom being a thong.
The TBLeague 1/12 body held up pretty well to my handling, though I will admit part of me was afraid to go all out nuts. The joints within the body are generally easy to manipulate, or at least the leg and hips joints were. The shoulder joints I found got a bit tight, then loose at certain spots, particularly when raising the arms overhead. Elbows are something to watch for as I could feel the skeleton through the skin when the arm was bent - the joints were also a a bit on the tight side as well.

The Kingdom of Troia in Final Fantasy IV has an all-female army, who wear leotards as their official uniform. The sprite used to represent them is identical to that of the dancers in other places, resulting in this reaction when the player speaks to one of the guards in the castle: "Dance for you!? How dare you! I am a shieldmaiden of the Epopts, not some two-gil performer!" Chain mail bikini is a really specific item and it is really hard to compare them with anything else.
Basic Trope: Females in medieval and fantasy settings wearing armor that seems to be designed more for making the wearer look attractive than for actually protecting them. Anyone in the 5 feet 5 inch or less range won't be able to swing a sword bigger than a butter knife.Neverwinter Nights actually has its main NPC, Aribeth, The Paladin Who Doesn't Do Anything, wearing a suit of armour cut so low as to be positively dangerous. In fact, this trope is pointed out so many times in fan comics that Blizzard banned any further submissions dealing with the subject in their comic contests.
