To be fair she was a Heretic in Ishgard - which also had some questionable dressing customs as you'll learn if you go back and do some of the crafting levequest turn ins. (They REALLY love ordering half-naked subligar up there, and it's not for battle minded reasons if you catch my drift.)

That said what they did with Ryne is really creepy. I get the lore reasons behind it - but nothing in the lore says that Shiva with Ryne as their proxy needed to literally wear their dragon lover... And that sentence is ten times more disturbing now that I've written it down, joy of joys... I don't mind them having Hraesvelgr as part of the fight but I don't get why they went about it in the way they did, as there's dozens of other ways they could have incorporated him into the fight... Or dodged the matter entirely by not having Ryne mantle Shiva at all.
