Seeing the armor from Takahiro and Nakano. Wonder we could have that armor for our champion?

Probably not, but you might be able to try and commission it from their writers. Agutia's writer is Gardeford, Azyrran and Kiyoko are written by somekindofwizard, Berwyn is currently the domain of B!, Brint and Brianne are handled by Wsan and Quintillus is written by BubbleLord.

Really surprised me, seeing that one. The design and the specific mention of iron confused me even more about the prevalent tech level of the setting. Though not as much as seeing chainmail and scale armor just chilling in the back of a small town smithy. Both supposedly being made of iron as well, since making a bronze chainmail would be more of a bitch than Alissa, and quite ineffective to boot.

CoC2 doesn't have consistent tech level XD. It is typical fantasy mishmash of weapon and armor from different times and cultures with swap of iron for bronze (Ogrish shop, a lot of his weapon is from medieval times plus archaic armour, check anything that is not umbrella term).
Paradoxically making complex armour from bronze was easier than you think:
Dendra panoply ~1500 BC Mycenae Greece

In general making armour from bronze is far easier than from wrought-iron. You can easily cast bronze sheets, in contrast making iron sheets is difficult especially in early iron metallurgy. Bronze metallurgy is quite diffrent than iron. Weapons were cast in moulds and armour was cold-worked (sorry Ragnild and that strange proverb during Senja scene).

That's why hoplites used bronze armour (if they were rich enough, more popular choice was linothorax) and iron weapons. Bronze armour in Mediterranean basin was still used around 100 BC (Roman officers used bronze lorica musculata). So ~900 after Bronze Age in that region.
