It really depends on the setting and the game...
For example, as you said, FromSoft games have some great looking and functional armor pieces, from DeS to ER. However, these are often reserved for plain PC or low rank NPCs, emphasizing their lack of power or rank.
When trying to depict a mythical knight or a deranged individual, they stray and often create something absurd but somehow fitting the setting.
In ER for example, many armors with realistic looking pieces are inlaid with so much decoration and gems, to be absolutely inpractical in any situation other than ceremonial ones. But this feeds in to the mythic or divine like setting the game world is meant to convey.
