So, while the thread topic is "bikini armor," as we can see there are many images in this thread that aren't bikini, rather more a general sexy warrior thread.

I'd like to talk about this one, Wing of Madoola, in particular, because the topic of the character's armor not being a bikini is one that the character designer commented on.

Game Catalog Wiki lists as one of the game's positive points the appeal of the player-character, Lucia, saying, "The game incorporated the trend of female warriors in revealing outfits that had started to become popular at the time, but what she wears is not actually a bikini, and by being more than just exposing as much skin as possible, it gave the character a unique air of virtue which earned her many fans."

In a magazine interview, character designer Moriken said, "Bikini-type outfits are embarassing so I covered her abdomen with armor as well." But then added that later, after seeing the design of the protagonist in Valis, he thought to himself, "Damn! I messed up!"
