Would someone explain how our characters can run at full speed; while carrying dozens of pieces of equipment and potentially thousands of items?

I think my two favorite bits of flavor text are sufficient enough to answer that.
Sometimes it's better to admit you don't know how it works and just let it be.
With this character's death, the thread of prophecy remains intact.

There's also the side quest asking you to capture dinosaurs and the kitty basically says not to ask how they will fit in the bags she gives you, just know they will.I think my two favorite bits of flavor text are sufficient enough to answer that.

As I like to say: "I'm a 5'1 holy knight cat girl with a sentient self aware sword who fights and slays colossal elder dragons, towering demi-gods, and laser packing battle mechs on a daily bases all cause a giant talking crystal told me to, realism can take the day off for all I care."
That's not to say we should throw all realism out the window, but hearing "an arrow will hit you in the chest and kill you if you wear cleavage showing armor!" all while my tiny knight girl is blocking the titanic fist falls of a 20 ton dragon or parrying a pulse laser from a space age battle drone just makes me roll my eyes. Too much realism just makes the world as un-fun as too little realism, a good fantasy world knows how to mix both so we can have a solid feeling world AND unrealistic things to enjoy there we can't in real life without over doing one or the other.
Well if you want realism you can always go out and buy real weapons to fight real ppl... Just no complaints if the girl wearing the bikini wielding a claymore sends you to the hospital... >.>
I'm all for skimpy clothing, as long as it's fair, and both males and females can wear it. Since this happens in FFXIV i have no issues with it.

That aside, I'd like to see more variety of this sort.



Anyone can wear what they want but have to accept some people will call them out if it looks ridiculous to their perceptions (not that you should care either way of course). I see a tank in bikini gear, I just roll my eyes and forget it within the same instant.
What others wear doesn't bother me but I will give them a good snark in my head, much like this: https://youtu.be/c-k9VE-eEY4?t=18s


Back when they had the tank armor design contest, I was tempted to submit an idea that I had for tank armor that was skintight and cloth, but had magical devices at various points (elbows, knees, waist, forehead, etc) that would project a translucent armor-shaped force field. A bit like the Holtzman shields in the old Dune movie, but more armor-shaped rather than blocky. I wasn't going for "skimpy" (though I suppose the skintight cloth could be sexy), but rather for the cool "magic armor" effects.
Unfortunately, my artistic skills are lacking, and I was too unconfident to submit my idea. :P
