I don't know man, the whole fantasy women armour thing always came across to me as crass pandering.
It's semiotics at work: boobplates and bikini armour are just signifiers communicating something else. And to me the "signified" meaning it communicates is more along the lines of "gamer male audience wants fantasy boobies" than it does "fantasy boobies" themselves. Disturbingly anti-sexy in all sorts of uncomfortable ways, or in short, eww.
