Oh mighty Athena, will the sleazy designers EVER leave you alone?
How warped our collective culture is to portray the goddess of wisdom clothing herself like this for battle (or any other occasion, really) so absurdly?
Seems like whoever did this, wanted to rip off was inspired by that infinitely stupid “chestpiece” from Queen’s Blade. She doesn’t even wear a thong! Quite the contrary. She gets a hole to show off her buttcrack… Maybe so she can go number 2 without having to take off her “armor”? Ewww.
Also fuck it, I’m counting the high heels square, cause I’m so sick of female characters constantly being portrayed on their tippy-toes like Barbie, even though their shoes have flat soles.

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.
