I really hope people didn't demand an explanation. The thirst for realism is unquenchable.

Having spent a lot of time with the sequel over the past few days, I'd say there is still a lot of room for improvement.
I quite enjoy it and do support it but some of the design decisions are baffling.
I feel like they've crafted an amazing world, great controls, lots of great ideas and an amazing set of characters but then often drop players into some pretty poorly designed missions.
One thing the game insists on doing regularly is dropping players into a situation and basically saying "now you need to find a specific item, person or place" with zero indication of what it might look like or where it might be. Considering the size of the environment, the visual complexity and the gravity shifting, it regularly turns into a scavenger hunt. I'm not a fan of those sections at all and it happens a lot.
...but then you run across a brilliant mission or some amazing moment that flips the whole thing on its head.
So it's a good game with some weird design decisions and an uneven pace. Definitely not for everyone, that is for certain. That's OK, though, still awesome overall.
Heh, yeah. That's something that's starting to bug me. With just about everything these days there is always someone begging the question "how is that practical?!" when it just doesn't always need to be. Design can be ridiculous for ridiculous sake. I think it only matters when a game is going for actual realism. The world of Gravity Rush is about as crazy and impractical as it gets.

I just always assumed it was a skirt made of belts and they were never meant to be unfastened. When she wants to put it on or take it off it all goes together. Got to be heavy as fuck.
It doesn't look like it takes very long to me. No longer than standard clothes people would wear.
How long does it take for you to put on your metal corset?

You should get that answer in GR2 as we should find out who Kat actually is and where she's from.
next to nathan, yes

If I remember correctly there was one similar to this for Escha from Atelier, but I don't think it was step-by-step, more a deconstruction of the many different layers and components to her dress.
Would love to see the concept art for all the different styles the designers go through. Does Gravity Rush 2 have any?

We're not worthy.
Ironic considering how according to Nomura, the belts in her design were specificall a challenge to the 3D rendering artists to see if they could actually design all of those and have them render as they should in her LOD 0 model

How?
This is like the quintessential Japan Studio Game description.
You're putting the gravity queen next to that mass murderer? I can't allow this
Isn't it just a romper, though? Yeah, she has those metal things on her as well, but a romper isn't that difficult to put on.
Source: my girlfriend likes to wear rompers.

Kat is cool as hell. Best hero.
I thought in the first game, it was hinted that Kat is
a Queen who lost her memory. A monarch can wear anything they want.

Maybe she made it herself.
the girl who can control gravity sticks out like a sore thumb
I was referring to the swirly... thing. I'm not sure how that works. I'm gonna assume magic.
She rolls up her braided hair into her hair and then tucks that hair into the rest of her hair. It's pretty self-explanitory.

maybe she's from a different country that has different fashion sense.
The fan rendition of how Ashelia skirt works in Final Fantasy XII comes to mindNothing will top Lucina's hair how-to guide:
I was gonna roll with that it may have clamps that attach to each other, but I could see it being magic in this world.
Can't take her any longer than my girl does in the morning.
The gold bodice is kinda silly, but it's a stylized costume, and isn't that outrageous.
joke post?
It is pinned up, according to the note.
Were people whining? Maybe just thought it would be cute/interesting for people to know.

Well I did always consider it a rather unique attire.
My sarcasm meter didn't work on the first page :/
The text says "hold with pin(s)".
The golden swirls are magic. In Grav Rush 2, when you switch between jupiter and lunar, the golden swirls change to reflect that as well
