The only outfits in the game (aside from Kira's) that are even pretending to be armor are the Leather Armor/Heavy Leather Armor and the Orc Slave Armor. The Orc Slave Armor is basically explicitly stated to be a silly skimpy fantasy armor on purpose, and the Heavy/Leather armor is explicitly cobbled-together from scraps. Neve is sorta-kinda wearing armor, but not really? It's mostly cloth except for those pointless bracers. The value of the metal bits are the magic thingamabobs that give her her powers, and not to deflect blows.
A subtle point that often gets lost in the discourse is that it's not the sexiness of the lady characters that's the problem, it's the context in which that sexiness is used. (I mean, there are SWERFs who really do just want no sexy ladies to be seen anywhere ever, but fuck those people.) You can make outfits as skimpy as you want when the point of the outfit, in universe, is to be sexually appealing, or to be a state of undress.
It's not *great*, but it's much better than the female outfit design for most fantasy RPGs that aren't porn games, which is immensely depressing when you think about it. Kira's outfit bucks this trend and is just "lol let's give her a metal corset and panties."
I'm ranting about this more than it deserves, and ironically this just proves the point I keep making about patreon and trying to please your fans. If you gave Kira a design that I'd like, one with big muscles, short hair, a gnarly set of scars, and a tin can set of full plate, not only would it be a design that Nomo probably wouldn't enjoy drawing but it'd probably also piss off the people who just want to slap her in irons and pimp her out in the relief tents.
