That is a strange way to write plate armour

That looks very cerimonial and completely impratical.

How is it impractical in any way?

It just doesn't seem like what an actual soldier would wear in battle, just a fancy suit for some faggy lord.

s-sorry

>fancy means impractical
You know lords tended to have better equipment than commoners?

is he supposed to look friendly and nonthreatening?

Yes, but that particular set looks more cerimonial than anything else. I'm no expert, so I wouldn't know for sure but the metal seems flimsy. As in, not made out of proper, armour grade steel.

let's see here
>helmet obscures any peripheral vision
>helmet shape protects the eyes from projectiles coming from below rather than above. in other words, tournament use only
>bright colors and gaudy gilding immediately paints the wearer as a high ranking target who can afford a large ransom
definitely not a suit anyone would wear into battle
