Armor not only affects how much damage an enemy can do, but also affects your evasion and speed. There are four types of armor: [[#Body|body]], [[#Head|head]], [[#Arms|arms]], and [[# | Armor not only affects how much damage an enemy can do, but also affects your evasion and speed. There are four types of armor: [[#Body|body]], [[#Head|head]], [[#Arms|arms]], and [[#Shields|shields]]. Each character class can equip a different set of armor: | ||
* [[ | * [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Warrior/Knight|Warriors and Knights]] use heavy body armor and helmets, and can equip large shields. | ||
* [[ | * [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Thief/Ninja|Thieves and Ninjas]] use lighter, but can still equip helmets and small shields. | ||
* [[ | * [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Monk/Master|Monks and Masters]] use only the lightest equipment and no shields. | ||
* [[ | * [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Red Mage/Red Wizard|Red Mages and Wizards]] can use most of the same equipment as Thieves and Ninjas | ||
* [[ | * [[Final Fantasy/Classes#White Mage/White Wizard|White]] and [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Black Mage/Black Wizard|Black]] Mages/Wizards can use very little armor, and no shields. | ||
