Even with Medieval full-helms, visibility isn't too limited, provided the eye slits are big enough, and even then they don't have to be too big to get maximum visibility. The only thing you sacrifice is the lower half, which when fighting someone isn't a priority (unless they're short, in which case you can just look down).

I don't know. I actually like helmets and face obstructing headwear. Contrary to popular belief, you can get alot of emotion out of faceless characters with the right body language and vocal expression. Alphonse Elric has no face due to his helmet/head and he's one of the most adorable anime characters ever (even when he isn't chibi).
