Most Practical Female Armor in RPGs?

She a Wyvern Rider. It's not like it will hinder her movement in battle.
I've always thought that Agrias from FFT was a good representation of a female knight with good practical armor in video games:
Came here to post this. ^
She ain't aerodynamic yo.
On a side note, this thread makes me want to try the FE games.

Ah, in that case is not really that bad. Even for horse only combat it wouldn't be too bad.
Sometimes I think they put Hilde in SoulCalibur just to counterbalance Ivy. They're like on opposite ends of the practical and sensible costume meter.

The "correct" FE answerP)
<3 <3 <3 Titania
She's got style, beauty and grace... and is arguably the most attractive FE female in the series. And she does this while completely covered up (its magic I tell you...)
LOVE Titania

Dungeon travelers have some of the finest female armors.
Joke post?
She fights in an ornate bikini.

Female Armor in the first Mass Effect.
Of course, things changed quickly (for NPCs, at least) judging by the sequels.

She's great. It's too bad she is a promoted unit and you shouldn't use her too much and steal XP from the guys who need it. I basically don't give her a weapon and just use her as a defensive meat shield.

My Mount & Blade: Warband character.
Well that's the case in FE9 (tbh I still use her anyway), but in FE10 I couldn't care less since she's tier 2 in that game and doesn't hog EXP. She also happens to one of the best characters in that game (she was like my go-to unit after "he who must not be named" in hard mode)
Promoted Titania (Gold Knight):
Simply amazing.

After seeing this, every other female armor seems pretty practical.

She uses a cross as a weapon?
Ehh... I don't think so. Frilly Dress + xbox huge shield and a cross for a weapon is pushing it.
Not bad though.

this thread, next page:
She must have maxed out her weight limit with that sword.
According to the storyline though Saskia is somewhat intentionally trying to look attractive while in armor, at least according to Dandelion's description.

What the fuck at her hips

Birthing hips my man, she can mate and fight a battle at the same time.
She keeps the other half of her organs that don't fit in her belly down there.

Not only is she wearing almost nothing but she has also had several of her ribs removed reducing her body's natural ability to protect her vital organs from damage. Impressive.

She's not as bad if you're pro at babying and give her a forged sword and pretend she's a myrmidon. And, in terms of practicality, she actually wears a helmet!

Already posted, but Chris Lightfellow, most definitely. She even has her hair tied up.

Valkyrie Profile's has a good mix of stylized art and actually practical armor, assuming she has leather armor or more plate mail under her skirt. I've always liked that game's look. The Souls games barely differentiate between body types, which is pretty cool. It wouldn't work for every game, but it's awesome that the game doesn't compromise its dark and serious tone for constant bullshit fanservice. Hilde from Soul Calibur is a great design too, considering she's in Soul Calibur.
As much as I love Fire Emblem... dudes, those armors would be totally whack in real life.
"please don't stab or shoot or slice my legs, it's not straight up dawg time"
At least with characters like Lyn there's something of an excuse, considering she's got to be as agile as possible, but a lot of Fire Emblem's design choices were clearly made because they were sexy.

Most of FE8's females wear impractical short skirts, however.
