** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the webcomic PVP by Francis Ottoman: "If I've got to be staring at an ass all day, it might as well be one I like looking at." |

** ''[[Guild Wars]]''. Every female character is well endowed. Mesmers in their [[Gorgeous Period Dress]] tend to skirt the safe side of this trope's boundary, and the Monk, Warrior, and Ritualist all have their particular [[Stripperific]] sets, but the Paragon and Elementalist indulge in such attire as a matter of course-the Elementalist in particular begins play wearing a miniskirt, knee-high boots, and what can only be described as a long-sleeved bra. The vast majority of the Elementalist's later armor isn't much better, if at all. |

* The Witch Elves in ''[[Warhammer Online]]''. They start off in a bikini and work their way up to a [[Chainmail Bikini]], but wearing more than a square foot of clothing is apparently an [[Religion of Evil|abomination unto Khaine]]. Just staying true to the [[Warhammer]] universe, of course. |

** They at least ''try'' to [[Hand Wave|justify it]] in-universe: they don't wear bulky, heavy armor because their fighting style is based on [[Fragile Speedster|running and jumping around while stabbing things]]; the large amount of skin (along with spells/pheremones) can be [[Distracted by the Sexy|disarming to their enemies]]; and finally the only reason their entire society is devoted to [[War God|Khaine]] instead of [[Sense Freak|Slaanesh]] is that Khaine is at least conducive to a well-functioning military. Not to mention the fact that they literally [[Blood Bath|bathe in blood]] as part of [[Immortality Immorality|a magic ritual to maintain their youth]]. The more of it they can [[Blood Splattered Warrior|get on their bare flesh in battle]], the better. Of course, this is more "the creators explaining the solutions" rather than "the characters solving problems." |

* Action-MMORPG'' [[Vindictus]]'' plays this completely straight and self-aware. Of the three characters types available at launch, two are female (two more male characters are released later) -- tank Fiona, and [[Cute Witch]] Evie. Along with this, there are a few other indications that the devs deliberately ratched up the [[Fan Service]] levels: |

* Through half of ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', the main character is followed around by Ashley, a 20-year old woman in a tight sweater, who is also a playable character for one chapter. Players who beat the game, start anew, and select the "special" cop outfit for Leon will discover Ashley in a special outfit of her own, featuring substantial cleavage and very tight pants. |

** Averted in the [[PlayStation 2]]/Wii ports, where Ashley gets another alternate costume that's a suit of armor. Not some sexy [[Breast Plate]] costume, either, but a full suit of medieval plate armor. Not very sexy, but on the plus side, it makes her invulnerable. |

** Played Straight with Ada in a [[oipao]], who can also be controlled in her own side-story. When she was introduced in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' she was wearing [http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-02/art/re2-ada-wong.jpg this] as the attack started while she was at a dinner party. In ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' she's dressed like [http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/residentevil4_conceptart_Na27h.jpg this]... because that's how all spies dress. |
