In Fairy Tail, Erza's everyday armor covers her torso entirely, however she has a seemingly endless amount of armors that she can transform into that often leave little to the imagination. She summons a literal plate mail bikini while at the beach. That's not all. Just take a look at the female warrior/soldier's outfit. [ dead link] Made even more ridiculous by the fact that her class can wear the heaviest armor, but no matter what you put her in, she'll always look like Red Sonja. This look has actually become quite popular, and further Dragon Quest games often have this female warrior as an NPC. Also there's Sergeant Colon, who fits his Roman-Centurion-esque breastplate "like jelly fits a mould", and Detritus, who can't fit all his muscles into his armor. However, VI in this series possibly lampshades it (as you can find a few corpses of women who are wearing these, implying that's why they are dead). Also, one of the female heroes does dress like this in the opening cinematic; given that these warriors are rookies who barely escape death at the hands of the Kreegan army, one can assume she decided to switch to proper armor.

Cross Player: Exaggerated with Marcus. He's played numerous campaigns, and all of his characters have always been female. Played with in Reno 911!. One episode had the female police officers getting specially designed (and low cut) bulletproof vests, which they all liked until one of them asks another officer to test her vest by shooting at it. Surprisingly enough, even the armored parts of the vests wouldn't stop a bullet.In some settings one can get the ultimate variant: armor not even "revealing", but completely transparent. Of course, this means the stripperifficness level is defined solely by the underwear. A suit of glassteel ( enchanted glass) is expensive, but as strong as steel with only half the weight. [1] With the aforementioned Kirin Armor from Monster Hunter, Ibuki from Street Fighter V got the very same outfit and even fights wearing it.

Even the male characters weren't safe from this. Look at the artwork for Guy, a character from Final Fantasy II. He may have even pioneered the style. In Axis Powers Hetalia, Hungary is shown in both official and fan works as wearing revealing and form-fitting armor similar to the ones she wore as a child. Which also show her Boobs of Steel rather prominently. There is a goddess of war and sex, and use of this trope might help you acquire her favor which will help in battle. It is worth noting that this goddess this goddess doesn't seem to discriminate genders. Link (NSFW). In The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles, the titular Shivering Isles are guarded almost entirely by women in bikini armor, which perhaps explains why they're called the Shivering Isles but not why they're not called the "Shivering and Jiggling Isles". The male version of the armor is still a little silly, but not so revealing. Justified by the fact that they're Daedra (read: demigods) and thus are immortal and don't need much protection anyhow.And here's a picture of the DVD set with Djana on the cover, if you don't want to Take Our Word for It.
