Ribbon armor

Ribbon armor parts can only be equipped by the Dancer. If the Dancer masters the "Equip ribbons" ability, any other job can use these armor parts (plus the Man-eater knife).

These armor parts affect not only the Dancer's "Dance" command, but also the "Dance" effect of the Dancing dagger, a weapon that can be equipped by most job. Dance is simplified as follows: the most useful dance (the Tempting Tango that inflicts Confusion) is removed, and the chance of performing the Sword Dance is doubled.
