Oh, so I must've misunderstood, sorry about that. I just thought you despised feminine fashion in general because you felt it was opressive or something. It's just I had the same problem, but I somehow got over that issue - as long as it looks cool, I don't mind either boyish or girlish things (with the exception of clothes that actually show a disproportionate amount of T&A).

Sadly, it all goes down to the infamous Most Writers Are Male (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MostWritersAreMale) trope. It's both the reason why video game gals can't dress like actual women and the reason why the characters are badly written compared to the males. Any game will usually contain either case, or both at the same time. You can either get a great character in skimpy clothes (like in Bayonetta's case - her lines are badass, but the get-up... well, she IS supposed t be a parody of this trope) AT BEST, or you can have a girl that actually looks quite cool, but lacks personality (i.e. Madison of Heavy Rain, who wears the modest jeans+t-shirt combo and has a great short haircut, but alas, she spent most of the game running away from rapists).
You have to keep in mind that 1) more often then not, male writers can't understand women (which is actually natural, as it works both ways) and thus can't create believable personalities 2) videogamedom is traditionally a guys' safe zone, and they do not want to see realistic, flawed personalities, since they wnat to break away from the real life problems. So we get testosterone-laden definitions of cool and witty on the guys' side, and... well, this.

So seriously, check out Megaten. It lacks most of aforementioned problems, and has the most badass character designs for everyone, at least in the older games, the latter are more YMMV. Check (http://dokuganryu.com/scans/megaten/dds/14.jpg)these (http://dokuganryu.com/scans/megaten/devil/34.jpg) out (http://dokuganryu.com/scans/megaten/maken/27.jpg), for example.

Huh. I'd say your best bet is ateliers, as long as the desired outfit is not too detailed. I'm from Russia, and that's not exactly Europe in terms of variety of clothes, but I just bought everything I need on my last visit to Britain, and the shops there are pretty big on the unisex thing. Maybe it's a matter of perception, who knows.
