Figured it’s time to revisit Dragon Quest III and the female warrior, who, for the low-low price of giving up a breastplate and pants, gained way more awesome hairstyle than her male equivalent!
After consideration, I didn’t cross the high heels square, as the shoes look reasonably wearable and not that different for each gender.
Still, she gets a bingo (for which I have the most appropriate gif at hand):
As consolation, let’s imagine that in this other pic that compares the two warriors, the woman’s expression says “why does he get such an awesome getup while I have to hide behind him to not get stabbed?”.

To me she looks like she’s weighing up if she can get away with stabbing him in the neck and taking his gear…

Dragon Quest IX vocation appreciation : from warrior to gladiator
lol warrior bikiniarmorbattledamage
Judging by the warrior class costume design, apparently the “feminine” equivalent to a knee-long chainmail chirt, proper gambeson and fully-covering pants is… an itty-bitty midriff-baring chainmail boobplate top and a bikini bottom with a random piece of chainmail covering the butt.
It’s kinda sad how in comparison, the gladiators look considerably equal, even though the female one shows her belly and knees for no reason. And wears half a boobplate that really shouldn’t hold up with a few randomly placed straps.
