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:
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 [[#Hand|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.
* [[../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.
* [[../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.
* [[../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
* [[../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.
* [[../Classes#White Mage/White Wizard|White]] and [[../Classes#Black Mage/Black Wizard|Black]] Mages/Wizards can use very little armor, and no shields.

Helmets add more protection than body armor alone, but only the [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Warrior/Knight|Warrior]], [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Warrior/Knight|Knight]], and [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Thief/Ninja|Ninja]] classes can equip more than the most basic helmet. The most worthwhile headgear in the game is the [[#Ribbon|ribbon]], which offers little physical protections, but makes the wearer immune to all status effects.

Default sorting is by buying price. Items that cannot be bought in any shop (sold only) but found only are listed afterwards, as more valuable.
In the table below, when two '''names''' are reported, the first one is from the NES version, the second one from the PSX and GBA remakes.


{|{{prettytable|sortable=1}}
Default sorting is by '''price'''. Armors that can only be found but not purchased are listed afterwards, as more valuable; their listed price is twice the selling price, because every armor can be sold for half its purchasing price; anyway, their Price cell is shaded in gray.

Special effects:
!Type
* '''Item:''' use the armor from the "Item" menu to cast a spell; alignment (B/W) and level (1-8) of the spell are noted as well; in order to use it as an item, it is not relevant whether the weapon is equipped or not.
!Value
* '''Elements:''' Fire is strong versus ice attacks; Ice is strong versus fire attacks. The Dragon Mail protects from fire, ice and lightning too.

Many armors can only be equipped by specific characters. The tables below reports all of them, abbreviated as follows:

Buy armor parts only if a character has an empty slot. This means only purchase armor parts early in the game: body armor in Cornelia, gloves in Pravoka, caps in Elfheim, shields in Pravoka and Crescent Lake.
 
After that, every useful armor part can be found '''for free''' in chests and dungeons. Purchasing further armor parts would be a waste of money.
 
When equipping armor parts, give priority to those with special properties.

=== Heavy armor ===
These armor parts are mainly used by the '''Warrior/Knight''' and by the '''Ninja'''. Some parts can be used by the '''Thief''' and the '''Red Mage/Wizard''', but these two classes will generally get better protection from the light armor parts.


{|{{prettytable|sortable=1}}
Some notes:
* '''Steel set:''' all the parts were named "Iron" in the NES version.
* '''Leftovers set:''' the ''Bronze gloves'' can be found for free; the ''Buckler shield'' is a must for the Red Mage/Wizard and for the Thief; the ''Knight's armor'' should be avoided because it is extremely expensive and it has the worst weight in the game.
* '''Mithril set:''' ''Silver'' in the NES version.
* '''Elemental sub-sets:''' equip two parts that protect from different elements; note that there is no protection from thunder element.
* '''Diamond set:''' ''Opal'' in the NES version.
* '''Ultimate set:''' all parts have special effects; if your team includes both Knight and Ninja, split this set between them.
