To this day I STILL don't understand why Dark Mages wear such skimpy outfits....not that I am complaining, Ophelia and her dad Odin can pull it off well...

Have you SEEN what they used to wear in the old games?
Big, long robes with hoods. No air circulation. It gets so hot and stuffy in them. Ugh.

Yeah, Dark Mages only got stripperiffic with Awakening. Made sense there, since Plegia was a desert nation.

They got the same artist for Fates, I think, so I'm guessing he just likes 'em that way.

And there was much rejoicing.

"Made sense"? Excuse me sir, but do you know how deserts work? Exposing a lot of skin is the last thing you want to do. If you travelled through the desert, dressed like you were going to the beach, well, it wouldn't be pretty.

That said, it's worth noting that Dark Mages of both genders in Awakening are mostly covered; it just so happens that most of what they wear is basically the body-stocking equivalent of pantyhose (think of it as a cloth version of sunglasses). Hell, even Tharja technically only has her face, hands, and parts of her upper chest bare (it's just that what she does wear is mostly translucent).

Made sense in that- as above mentions- they're covered up; no direct exposure to sunlight and also having some insulating layer over their skin.

Making them a translucent bodystocking allowed them to make it fanservice/stripperiffic as well.

Whether a bodystocking would actually be good in a desert- well- I'm not gonna be testing those conditions anytime soon- so I wouldn't know.

In older Fire Emblem, Mages were dressed like mage, or at least something that make you think 'Oh, that's a mage'
It's not like in FEA or FEif, who they looks straight from a bad JRPG.

Well, regular mages still dressed relatively sensibly in Awakening (see Miriel and Laurent). I think Kozaki's idea was that Dark Mages came from a more "feral" and "uncivilized" tradition than the relatively more "scholarly" regular mage (sort of a "Celtic druids vs. Isaac Newton's brand of occultism" type of thing).

In Fates, he seems to have extended that idea to all magic classes who aren't either Nohrian horsemen or related to Hoshido's version of Shintoism.

^ Thing is, though, that wasn't Kozaki's idea. It was the art director's. Kozaki was just told what to draw. Plain and simple. Had Kozaki been the art director for both Awakening and Fates, character designs would most assuredly be different.
