Taking some liberties is fine! I want magic in these games, female characters to have significant roles, etc. Some other things just need to be better justified...
Talim and Xianghua both have fairly small chests. Raphael and Voldo are not at all muscular or physically large. The fighters are varied in many ways.
The outfits...I'll give you that one. They're not what you'd call battle-suitable nor modest.
But hey, like you said. That's what the market wants. There is bound to be a lot more word of mouth between male gamers about Sophitias massive breasts than there is to be for Sophitia's historically accurate suit of armor.
