Ugh, go fuck yourself. No, seriously- go fuck yourself, you worthless, spineless existence. Not even obscure shit is untouched by this corny, fucking disease. Concentration camps for any actual or suspected "abridgers". The day will come. Oh, and where's "Credit goes to Little Kuriboh for inventing this bullshit"? Oh, that's right!

Anyways... the ancient Minoans had an interesting dress style for their women. They would wear elegant long skirts and a long sleeve top that only covered up the midriff... the breasts were left exposed. In fact, the top would actually push the breasts up, giving them the impression of "perkiness." (It was the greatest civilization of all time.)
This has been your "Fun Ancient History Fact" of the day. :)
We know very little about Minoans, but in all of the surviving images, all the women are topless (even goddesses).
Perhaps it was only the "priestesses" that did this. But, some of the paintings depict women picking flowers in a field, who are clearly not upper-class, following the same "dress code."
Still, one could argue that these women in the fields are still performing a religious function, and perhaps they only dressed like this for the occasion.
I should also mention that women probably didn't spend too much time outdoors anyways. They did go out, of course, especially for religious festivals, but generally they tended to stay home.
The major reason for this was rape. The threat of rape was a problem, and not only would women not travel without protection, many would prefer not to venture out at all if it could be helped.
NOTE: This is a generalization of many ancient societies. Again, we don't know much about the Minoans.
Well... I was saving that for future response... but, I guess I'll tell you about it now.
In Ancient Mesopotamia, if a woman wanted to marry, she would first have to perform a service to the fertility goddess Ishtar. This entailed her going to the temple and prostituting herself to the first man who paid her... It was the original "first."
The money went to the temple. If she got pregnant from this first encounter, it was considered a blessing, and she automatically became a priestess.
Well... they were for it! Hell, the temple that ran this gig was run by women.
Fertility was very important to the ancients. Sure, we have qualms about sex now, but for them, being pagans, as long as it wasn't adulterous (and this particular act would have actually been considered pious, not adulterous) they would be fine with it.
Besides, if the girl got knocked up from this first encounter, they automatically became a priestess to Ishtar... that's like winning the lotto!

Was this only the upper class Minoan women who would be spend most of their lives indoors? If not, I imagine sunburn was a painful problem.

If the character designs weren't so bloody hideous, I, myself, would be inclined to fap to the fepic. Nice job.

Why do they look like badly dressed superheros?

Mostly because they're designed by the master of badly dressed superheroes (or characters in general) - Peter Chung! XD

@GordianThong I say Tetsuya Nomura could give Chung a run for his money. Just check out Nooj or the color-blind job outfits in Final Fantasy X-2.
