In a few lines without an explanation, i would very much like to see feminine and distiguisable armors for females. (leather, plate cloth etc).
Now for the explanation,
Fantasy settings don't have to follow reality so closely as all the aspects of the game be realistic to the highest form possible. Don't we play fantasy games to "escape" reality and transcend into a different world were certain things that don't exist in our world exist, dragons, spells, etc?
Also as far as i know two handed weapon fighting never existed historically but it's something you find in most fantasy games. (i'm not that certain on that, please forgive me if i'm wrong)
Realistic means keeping to the fantasy setting or setting you refer to in general. Examples follow:
Lightsabers don't make sense in medieval fantasy, but make sense in their setting.
Spells seem realistic in high fantasy settings but you don't see anyone blasting people in the streets with fireballs in reality or settings that supposedly take place in reality unless it makes sense in that setting.
So, with all that said, why keep female armors "close to real medieval" armors when this is a high fantasy setting not having to do that much with reality? It's not a combat simulator having to keep closely to real medieval armors. Sure you can draw inspiration but i don't see the need to be so precise and historically correct.
As someone said it's probably about the "boobies".
I really hope however that females get different aesthetics than the males in their armors and clothes or have a choice to wear different types of clothes and armor in an effort to please both people that want "less boob plates" and those that want to see more high fantasy less accurate and more flamboyant or skimpy designs.
A minor point, but too cool not to be mentioned: Musashi the legendary Japanese swordsman also fought with two weapons. Or a wooden one, sometimes. http://www.bookoffiverings.com/MiyamotoMusashi.htm Thanks for sharing this, looks interesting. Also i indeed meant two weapon fighting not two handed... got to correct that.
