Surprisingly cute getup, for someone escaping a collapsing train track in the mountains.

Well considering its blade and soul where the entire point of the game is the cute getups don't think it's much of a surprise

The age old joke with many Japanese and Korean RPGs and anime like TERA and B&S. Attractive girls with great figures travelling into dangerous lands and dungeons wearing only some tiny bikini armor or a tight leotard. So called armor that would leave the wearer either sliced into a bloody mess or raped.

well, if you think out side the box for a bit, in certain anime settings, flexible, light as possible clothing might be preferable to armor if there's no way to magically enchant armor to protect against a getsuga tenshou/rasengan/kamehameha on top of the ability to enhance reactions/speed with chi.

I always just figure that once you reach a certain level of superhuman armor doesn't really matter, so because of that you go with style over substance

Think about it. If your blows can say shatter boulders into fine powder, is having a few sheets of metal ACTUALLY going to help you or at that point are YOU tougher than any armor you can out on?

Besides Blade and soul armor specifically has no be fit other than cosmetics. It's literally just fashion

But here's my ultimate solution to people who get picky about this. Think about how equipment works in RPGs. Do they actually prorect your body? Is the actual equipment better? Maybe but Think about what the ACTUAL stated affect is.

They add to your stats. Armor makes your defense higher. Swords make your attack higher Think about it. How is an infinity sword so much SHARPER than a normal one for be long where it's going to help you do more damage to a superpowers do monster? How tough can armor get? Doesn't it make more sense that the equipment actually makes YOU stronger rather than somehow having better material?

Just how I've always thought about these things

You tried to apply logic and physics to something that exists outside of it. It's like trying to solve Fermat's Theorem only by using differential.
Also yes, the point is valid. If you were hit by a truck wearing a full plate mail made by any stupidly tough material, you'd still be (mostly) dead, but it's from sudden acceleration, not from crush injury or multiple broken bones; in this same logic, Tony Stark's Ironman suit would just be a flying blender with that much G it was generating in each aerial maneuver.. But hey, rule of cool/rule of fanservice right?

Yeah true in terms of armor that has no supernatural element but magic? Like I said it could make you strong enough to withstand it(which is its stated effect in most cases it increases DAMAGE REDUCTION it rarely ever protects you, game wise)

Eh? Eh? But yeah, at the point where we start fighting the magic/super creature or whatever we're supposed to be fighting it seems like "oh noes her armor exposes some midriff! Is the least of your problems or "o noes kratos doesn't wear armor at all" it's like "that's what you noticed here?"
