One thing that comes to mind is exactly what counts as "badass". To me, it has always implied "Ass-kicking Action Person", no matter the gender. Those robes? They don't look conducive to high-action fighting, instead look like something - to my D&D-influenced mind - would be better suited for second row teammates, like mages and healers/clerics/white mages.
I feel a need for trousers or leggings on badass women, and if they have coats/robes/whatever over them, something designed for freedom of movement.

But I don't know this game, so I can't assess how it pulls off outfits like that in play.

Ahh, if you check out the other classes in the game, you'll see what I meant! I didn't have enough space to put more examples while making the secret legible. Sorry for the confusion.

I just looked up picture on Google and found this:

Offhand, I'd say the outfits I like for females there are the paladin, swordsman and ranger. I suppose the influence of things like hanging around Baldur's Gate forums and Dragon Age has made me a bit critical about female plate armour that shows expanses of leg, or boobage. I am not seeing clear evidence of boobage but there is plenty of evident leg.

But I do agree with you that the detail they have managed to put into the outfits, even with the graphics style they have, is rather cute.

Honestly, I don't really mind not entirely practical/realistic outfits - ultimately, it's still fantasy, and it's not like the male outfits are perfect if you analyse them objectively (long robes, spikes, bare chests, dangly bits) But what matters to me, is having characters that I feel cool playing! I can sacrifice some of the real-life practicality for a design that, to me, feels empowering - but with most games, practicality is sacrificed for very clear fanservice instead. Here, the designs hit the perfect spot for me - for appealing, making me feel cool and not being really objectifying. The only bad one IMO is the sorcerer, but the male version is just as naked, so I guess it can be forgiven?

Also here's a link with better images - the picture you found has some classes mismatched!

Yeah, I understand what you mean, and on a whole, I do agree with you. I got a bit distracted with the practicality issue.

Even though these may not have been what OP had in mind, I kind of find the idea of someone being able to fight or hold their own in everyday or restrictive formal/traditional wear a type of badassery. Like seeing people who can actually book it in high heels -- it won't look as fluid or elegant as someone in less restrictive clothing, but it's the idea of someone quickly compensating for a big disadvantage.
