I should note that T'rahnu is supposed to be wearing a cloak ICly, but, you know, since there are no cloaks in-game she's just exposed. Oh, well. Them's the breaks.
But really, I just get tired of seeing the same look after so much time. I spent hundreds of hours wearing the same armor so I just decided to go half-naked for a change of pace.
If only Miqo'te had a muscle slider, it would actually make some semblance of sense...
Also I would refrain from using the phrase "slut gear" ever again, thank you very much. Some basic respect would be appreciated.
They still made up the culture in the first place. It's still possible for the fictional culture they created to be completely unbelievable and/or nonsensical. Not to mention at least some of it was because of development constraints (i.e. they can't be arsed to make dialogue specifically for players wearing that gear, or doing so would take up too much memory etc.).
I'd appreciate it if you didn't try to defend or explain away obviously sexist armor designs. The coliseum sets actually have a justification (i.e. both males and females are mostly naked) but stuff like the "magic bikini" are just dumb, period. It's an excuse to throw more straight male-oriented fanservice into the game. Now, I personally, don't mind if they do throw in that sort of fanservice, but I would appreciate some balance (that is, if you throw in a magic bikini you should be throwing in a magic speedo as well).
But this is all getting off the topic. When it comes to players running around half-naked, well, you just have to take the licks you get for it. Especially if you try to fight like that, then it becomes a question of 'wtf are you thinking?!'

I've found that amount of skin shown tends to be inversely proportional with their ability to do their effing job.Funny, I wear "slut gear" all the time and I'm usually the most skilled player in the party.

Not just talking men or just women but in general. The game itself is part of a series where ridiculous clothing is the norm (see Kuja from FF IX who no one ever talks about in any game about how HE is dressed).No.
