More or less, but in my case it’s more of a skimpy armor style.
Something more anime between miniskirt without shorts How to see more Tiffa in original PS1 FF7 or Nina Windia from Breath of Fire 2 or 3, or in the case of WoW, like Anveena in the WoW manga or comic.

Or how it was in Warcraft with an anime magical girl version of the Helfs of the Sorceresses in Warcraft 3.
Or more Whitemane style characters, such was the case with Vaalera Sanguinar in BfA, once again referring to more freedom to the Leather armor class in transmog clothes without the need to change or lower the quality of our level armor class, as it was with Moroes and Vanessa Vancleef as Rogues in Clothe armor.
Something more focused on the roots of RTS especially Warcraft 3 as well as the spirit of WoW Vanilla when it was nothing with Fruits.
It is what FFXIV shows a love for the community with a freedom to use what we want without morbidity and stupid activist shame of Blizzcon 2010 being against Victoria’s Secret and likening the beauty and freedom of a fantasy to its raw and gray reality of the woke trend.

I saw a meme once, someone in full plate asks this woman wearing basically nothing, do you really think that armor can protect you? She pulls off the chest piece, showing that its really plate armor designed to look sexy. So, y’know that skimpy armor could really be plate designed to be distracting…

From playing alot of FFXIV you may find this surprising but the majority of people I see with female characters in skimpy outfits are women IRL while those with female characters who are dressed in full armor (or modestly) with little to no skin showing are usually men IRL.
Same with alot of ppl I know in WoW.

The freedom of skimpy armor but in less defense, vs fully protected and defended but reduced in dexterity and speed, I think it would be a bit unreal in a moment of combat in special when it contradicts in both versions a plate armor between armorkini, and a usual and common one.
But let’s accept once and for all, it’s a fantasy world, and the difference of our characters, this OP to resist any disadvantage either in climatic changes or mobility depending on their armor.
What?
You don’t want to see a male Kul Tirin in a mailkini?
dad bod mankini? yes please 
The funny thing is that only the humans would really be considered the race to wear bikinis. And maybe the elves? But the other races are not even human. They are closer to animals species. They shouldn’t even be wearing clothing or armor. They should not even be using weapons. They should be fighting with their teeth and claws. And the un-dead humans. Why would they even be wearing clothing. They have been reduced to a pile of magically animated bones with some flesh hanging off them.
It’s a fantasy game. Practicality shouldn’t be a factor when I armor my character.

Well isn’t that the way animals fight? They use their teeth and claws. Come on now. Whens the last time you saw a bear using a bow and arrows or a deer walking around with a snipers rifle. huh?
Right so by that logic the animal races of wow don’t need to wear anything at all. they should just run around and bite and claw enemies. Druids when changed into animal forms fight with teeth and claws right?
I see you missed the “fantasy” part of my post. That tends to happen when you have an agenda.

Oh now that sounds accusatory. Doesn’t it. Come on admit it. You are being naughty.
If the problem is that people like looking at attractive, half-nude/fully nude people then… guilty? Isn’t everyone?
Well wow is full of animal races. I personally don’t look at animals that way. That’s just plain creepy.
Real world pandas aren’t intelligent, don’t stand on two legs, have breasts, and speak with Chinese accents. As I said, fantasy game.
Hell, I’d tap a pandaren woman if they were real. I bet she’d cook an awesome meal afterwards too.

Oh I see. That explains much. Hey to each their own. I’m not judging here. But furry…really? Argh!
Keep this in mind: if the world had a bunch of anthropomorphic animal people running around, “furry” would be a slur. You don’t want to be racist now do you?
