Cloesest we got with the helmet so far is the 80 artefact gear for dark knight in FFXIV
Stylish, badass and intimidating.
Really unique looking.
If you're a protagonist that can transform at will in Final Fantasy, you get the special privilege of looking dapper.

The timeskip outfits in FF15 are classy AF
The Kingsglaive outfits yes. Noctis' outfit is a bit plain (but still better than the pre-timeskip version)
Pretty much everything in VII Remake. The outfits of the girls are pretty fashion. Aerith's standard look is very cute quotidian wear.
Yeah but everyone's face besides Noctis looks stupid AF

"Sensible"
*People post outfits with capes, miniskirts, Nomura belts, and helmets that obscure vision*

Well, a pair of pants certainly would help with the horrible chaffing she would no doubt experience with that holster. Would probably help the fit in the bizarre boot setup too. And if she got high waisted pants, maybe they could help cover the bellybutton window too.
Yes, I agree, it's a difficult balance to achieve. I think XII has the worst designs of the mainline games by far. Balthier is the only one I really like. It doesn't have to be *crazy* all the time, either. VIII has fairly grounded yet recognizable and stylish designs.
I like Locke, but I'm not sure tying on 27 different scraps of fabric and bandanas is "sensible" haha.My fave male outfit:
fave female outfit:
I guess I like black + blue, haha.

Agreed. Love the dress/boots comboAerith from FF7 Remake.
Simple, charming, and fits with the character. It's actually something very close to what real people wear too.
The queen
Open jacket only held together by a belt under hear breasts, tiny skirt, the need to add some sort of thigh
She also deliberately dressed like that to go on a rescue mission where she knew she likely had to engage in combat.
Aerith from FF7 Remake.

This is actually a cute, sensible and iconic design. :)

Like this whole thread is filled with nonsensible outfits for warriors

lol it's very 90s.
I actually love when the then "modern fashion" seeps into design. Rinoa's chunky highlight (and hairdo really) totally works in that ~2000 zone.
They're both ridiculous, end of discussion haha
It's definitely a sore spot on otherwise cool designs. Lightning's IS iconic, but there's is very little military looking about a mini skirt while she's anime jumping with a gun sword. And Ashe is supposed to be on the lamb while trying to keep her cover in hot pink MINIMINI skirt.. 😂
lol at the 13 outfits as sensible must be a big fan of those games (to an annoying degree) to even consider them as such.
Same, first time playing 12 back in the day I was put off by ashes outfit
How is that sensible when she's got a massive pouch that's bigger than her upper leg, strapped to her bare upper leg, and then attached to her belt on the other side of her abdomen. Plus boots that have had the front bit removed because reasons, a tunic belted tight around her diaphragm and a collapsible sword that looks like three oversized bottle-openers glued together.The queen
Unfortunately it's pretty true. My cheat example isn't even from FF lol
Maybe the Turks can kinda count if you ignore the fact they fight frigging summons in suits?
Yeah this is important, it is sensible as in "it has room for my keys and wallet" or "it provides adequate protection against a multidimensional time traveling million year old dragon that might be my dad."
Tifa and Aerith's outfits are amazing.
How the fuck are they sensible though
Compared to her comrades in avalanche it's ridiculous
Yeah the "sensible" part is just going to be an endlessly looping argument. Basically none of the outfits in this topic are even remotely sensible for what these characters are actually supposed to be doing (i.e. fighting monsters).
OP

Turks are definitely a good pick. Hell, they even have a zipper on their vest instead of buttons (one of the only instances of Nomura putting zippers somewhere practical lol)
Tifa and Aerith's outfits are amazing.
Tifa's tiny skirt with both belt and suspenders is anything but sensible, lol.
OP

once she joins the party and starts fighting monsters and shit yeah it's not very sensible
I don't think it's going to get more practical than the FFXV main cast (a lot of the supporting cast too if you ignore Cindy), every other cast has at least a few ridiculous designs, too many belts or armor boobs/abs or something. Unfortunately the obsession with high heels alone is pretty bad for a lot of the gals, you have to practice using high heels just to walk on a flat surface, but mountain climbing, sewers, deserts, snow? NO ONE would do that.
Most of the cast of XIV would fit.
VI is damn good. Maybe the best for the fantasy style it was going for. III is very medieval and solid. IV and V have cool armor designs.
Cid, Barret, Aerith, Cloud (except for the random shoulder pad), Tifa (I mean she is a bartender), OG Rufus, the Turks, etc are also fairly sensible or decent fashion.
VIII is mostly grounded outfits among the party members and fits the 90s.
XV loses points for the boyband outfits and also all leather in the freakin desertish beginning of the game. Outside of that and Aranea's armor, it was fairly grounded - maybe a little bit too much. Lunafreya's dress was good until they shred it for the male gaze at some point.
X and X-2 are hit or miss and I know it got a lot of votes in the other thread but the designs are mostly great and memorable despite being a bit absurd.
IX is okay but too many bad ones. I like Vivi and Garnet and that's about it.
XII is really bad in terms of horniness and the only outfit I really like is Balthier's even if the Viera "armor" is very memorable. It does have the cool Judge armors though.
XIII is boring but I did really like Fang and Vanille's outfits. The sequels made up for that I guess in both good and bad ways.
I think sensible shouldn't mean that much towards actual battle readiness as that would be dumb and stupid and would make all RPGs have people wearing plate armor or Gears of War armor or something.

Cecil's Dark Knight helmet comes with the Heavensward Collectors Edition.
Tifa and Aerith's outfits are amazing.
There is nothing sensible about doing martial arts in a micro skirt, thigh high socks and shoes that are a couple of sizes too big.
At Least she got a sports bra for the remake so i guess that's something.

forgot about that
Damn that is slick.Cecil's Dark Knight helmet comes with the Heavensward Collectors Edition.
