I'd be a fudging death sentence.

So if we Miqo's are able to flatten our ears to the extent of fitting them snugly into a "round" helmet, such armor would be a lot more realistic and safer.
I don't play the game for realism though. Have you seen how impractical some of the armor and weapons are?
This is a jrpg.

Also. no one knows how armor for a race with cat ears and tail would be designed.
Them sticking out could be just as dangerous as them being so tugged in it gets uncomfortable.
