| This list contains all the armor
in Final Fantasy. The LOCATIONS column lists
everywhere the item is found in the game; the
locations in bold are places where the item is
sold. Note that in general, a higher Absorb and a
LOWER Evade% makes a better piece of armor.
(Thanks to everyone who emailed me to point out
that lower Evade% is better.) The Opal Bracelet
is the best piece of armor for most of the
classes (excluding those who can equip regular
armor, like the Knight and Ninja), so keep an eye
out for it. The Ribbon is another great piece of
armor; it protects your party from enemy magic
and status attacks. Unfortunately, there are only
3 ribbons in the game. Some armor, when used in battle as an ITEM, casts a spell at the enemies or on your party. I have added a chart at the bottom of this page listing those weapons and their uses. Also listed are the strengths of the some armor versus certain types of enemy attacks. |
