Sensible rpg character designs in video games

I don't really get piss poor designs like this.
There is a way to make sexy, attractive characters without them looking absurd.
A lot of the women in the Witcher are sexy, but at least they dress appropriately to their situation.
You could make all the characters in Xenoblade mostly naked, but the main designs weren't ridiculous like in the new game.

It's kind of cheating but P5 is a jRPG , and this is sensible and cool
Man either joker has a career in the nba or futaba looks like she's 4 and a half feet.

I would agree except for 2 aspects. 1. Squall's jacket not covering his back always bothered me. 2. Zell couldn't decide if he wanted to wear pants or shorts, so he wore something in between.
I'm not trying to defend that design, but I don't think that's the right approach when criticizing it. With the Witcher you can do it since its style is pretty realistic, but what's "appropriate" in a world with giant swords, girls that turn into weapons and flying titans?
I'd just say the design isn't particularly brilliant, even for the usual JRPG cheesecake.

I'm of the opinion that "realistic" designs for clothing tend to result in some very boring looking characters in games where you usually are swinging swords and magic bolts around all the time.
Why not go all the way? I'd rather stare at the back of someone with purple hair than someone in a plain brown leather tunic.

Not gonna deny that. But those are optional equipment. What we're talking about is Pyra's default getup. While Xeno 1's default female outfits showed skin, they never felt too over-the-top.
Kind of funny that Xenoblade Chronicles X has the least ridiculous character design despite all the hate it gets. Elma's
