Female Armor Bingo – Page 18 – Bikini Armor Battle Damage

The anatomy tips in this book may or may not be any good, but personally I have limited trust for people who promote their artist advice books with generic bingo-scoring bikini armor ladies.

Okay, so technically Alma’s look is a “form” from Ninja Gaiden but I’m going to count it as armor because well it’s apparently an artificial look designed for battle and well once you beat her enough it does change and then, after more beating, it kind of melts off her as seen in this heart touching moment with her sister Rachel.

Butt shot included because it is literally how this character is pitched in the marketing materials for this game.

Oh look, Liz got me a bingo. And Mordred was soooooo close.

I decided to do some Female Armor Bingo for my ~~least~~ favorite designs in FGO. I don’t think it’s really worth it to write any pieces on these armor selections because I don’t wanna tire myself out on something no one else is going to read, so this is a much simpler way of venting my opinions.

For the ‘no head protection’ bit, I just went with ‘the character has stuff in their hair that serves no purpose as armor’, rather than ‘they aren’t wearing a helmet’ or anything like that (or, in the case of Mordred, ‘they used to have a helmet and now it’s gone). Liz should technically have that, but I don’t know if her horns are decoration or not, so I decided might as well leave that be.

What an impressive collection of all flavors of terribad!
Not that we’re surprised, seeing what bingos Fate/Grand Order served us before (especially how it ruined Saber/Artoria).

Incidentally, “I don’t think it’s really worth it to write any pieces on these armor selections […] so this is a much simpler way of venting my opinions.” is one of the reasons Female Armor Bingo exists.
Those skimpy female warrior outfit tropes are so boring and prevalent it’s not worth wasting lengthy explanations on. Just fill out a bingo card and link to all the others we’ve had here for comparison. The point about the creativity of bikini armor makes itself.

Freya from Battlerite totally proves this is a very creative game… she’s such an original Viking/Norse lady with her flimsy bikini top, two Mjolnirs and horned headpiece totally not similar to what Marvel’s Loki wears in their female form.

Gotta say, though, from waist down the design would be fine… too bad the artists are firmly in the club of designers who think that Vikings invented either the bikini or metal boob cups.

Cindy is basically the first female character you get to have significant interaction with in Final Fantasy XV, and while she’s not a warrior I’m going to make an exception here because.

1. She’s supposed to be the lead mechanic who can fix anything
2. So far I haven’t been able to find any noteworthy warrior women in Final Fantasy XV
3. Most of the female characters wear slightly differently styled clothes based off everyday and formal clothing from the real world

I think it’s safe to say there’s no way that we’re supposed to believe this is an outfit a third generation mechanic would wear to work (particularly in a world where monsters roam about just a hundred feet or so from truck stops)

If you have any doubts, I suggest checking out this great project where a fan artist gender flipped the cast and check out how Cindy came out:

So. I couldn’t find any screenshots of Mammon in action, but Trillion: God of Destruction assures me this is a combat themed game and that is what Mammon looks like on the battlefield.

You’d think with all that excess money she could afford some clothes.

Chandra Nalaar’s costume never ceases to amaze us in how unapologetically it ignores even the most basic things about how armor (or any material involved in making it) works.

Let’s once again list all the nonsense here that goes beyond the usual sexualized armor tropes:

bared thighs which contradict armoring all the other body parts
skin-tight chainmail that also includes mail turtleneck
boobplate somehow placed on top of said spandex chainmail
loincloth that conveniently never flies up to display her crotch… and doesn’t catch on fire

In case someone would think last week’s Zombicide Paolo Parente expansion bingos were unusually sexist for the game, here’s another bikini warrior from an expansion by a different guest artist, Neil Adams.

To be completely fair, Zombicide expansions are a huge mixed bag when it comes to creativity. Mark Simonetti’s one, for example, features three great female character designs:

While Edouard Guiton’s has a non-sexualized lady next to a sexualized one:

And those are only a few examples from the medieval fantasy-themed Black Plague option for Zombicide.

This game, no matter the version, is sure to provide us both with bingo material and positive examples for future posts. No sexy male heroes so far, though.

See it says “All New X-Men” but this is honestly the most 90s comic cover I’ve seen since… well the nineties. The saddest part being that if we assume the cover girl is in fact, Goblin Queen… she is both far better dressed and yet somehow less impressive than her original incarnation:

Maybe in another thirty-three years we can get an incarnation that is both majestic and has a viable costume.
