Actually I didn't think the DS version's sprites conveyed sexy either, they were too chibi. The FMV models are a different matter, and I don't know if Rydia appears in Dissidia. I presume if she does, the in-game model is pretty good.
But really, I don't think "fap material" was the idea behind the age-up. She was cast as not a very high-powered character as a child, so the age-up was used to excuse a sudden jump in ability, and also pre-introduce some of the higher-powered Summons like Leviathan. It also balanced the male-female ratio slightly by adding another adult female (the ratio was still very in favour of males, but still...).
Fap material is the province of fans, not necessarily the concern of the creators (some creators these day worry about it, but I think the frequency of that is a side effect of the internet that wouldn't have existed when FF4 was written - remember, this is a game from before the internet).
