Final Fantasy V has a wide variety of armor which protects characters from physical and magical damage. The Freelancer and Mime class can equip almost all armor parts in the game. However, some classes cannot equip certain types of armor.
Final Fantasy V has a wide variety of armor which protects characters from physical and magical damage. However, some classes cannot equip certain types of armor. With 21 jobs (not counting Bare), it may seem difficult to keep track of which armor goes with which jobs. But with a few exceptions this can be simplified by dividing the jobs in to five types, and then classifying the armor according which job types can use it. The types are:
*Fighter: Knight, Lancer, Samurai, Berserkr, Sorcerer
*Specialized: Monk, Thief, Ninja, Hunter, Trainer
*Mixed: BlueMage, Red Mage, Chemist, Dancer
*Mage: W. Mage, B. Mage, TimeMage, Summoner, Geomancr, Bard
*General: Mime, Bare
Mixed types can equip any armor which specialized or mage types can equip. Bare can equip any armor and, with a few exceptions noted, so can Mime. This simplifies the possibilities even more. Some abilities can allow some jobs to equip armor they wouldn't normally be able to, for example EqShield allows any job to equip shields.


{|{{prettytable|notwide=1|text center=1}}
The Bare job can equip all armor in the game and so is not listed here. Mime is only listed in exceptional cases. Unless otherwise noted, the buy price for the item is twice the sell price, though many items aren't sold in shops. Items are shown by the jobs that can equip them, the slot (Head/Body/Relic), and then in the reverse order they appear in the Equip menu, which is (more or less) according to Def.

Names given in '''bold''' are for the PS version of the game (if known); names for other versions are also given if they are substantially different. Monster and location names are for the PS version (if known). See [[../Statuses|Statuses]] for descriptions of status effects, and [[../Magic and skills#Elements|Elements]] for more information on elements and elemental effects.

This is armor that can be equipped by any job.

==Dancer==
This is armor that can only be used by Dancers (not Mimes). Wearing any armor of this type will double the chances that the Flirt ability will succeed. The Dance ability is modified so that Tempt Tango is not longer performed and the chance of performing the Sword Dance is doubled. The same applies with the dance effect of the Dancing Dagger.

=== Ribbon armor ===
==Genji==
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).
This is a special set of armor obtained by stealing from the boss Gilgamesh in four of six battles with him. These are usable by fighter types and by BlueMage for the shield.


These armor parts affect not only the Dancer's "Dance" command, but also the "Dance" effect of the [[../Weapons|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.

Final Fantasy V logo

Final Fantasy V has a wide variety of armor which protects characters from physical and magical damage. However, some classes cannot equip certain types of armor. With 21 jobs (not counting Bare), it may seem difficult to keep track of which armor goes with which jobs. But with a few exceptions this can be simplified by dividing the jobs in to five types, and then classifying the armor according which job types can use it. The types are:

  • Fighter: Knight, Lancer, Samurai, Berserkr, Sorcerer
  • Specialized: Monk, Thief, Ninja, Hunter, Trainer
  • Mixed: BlueMage, Red Mage, Chemist, Dancer
  • Mage: W. Mage, B. Mage, TimeMage, Summoner, Geomancr, Bard
  • General: Mime, Bare

Mixed types can equip any armor which specialized or mage types can equip. Bare can equip any armor and, with a few exceptions noted, so can Mime. This simplifies the possibilities even more. Some abilities can allow some jobs to equip armor they wouldn't normally be able to, for example EqShield allows any job to equip shields.

The Bare job can equip all armor in the game and so is not listed here. Mime is only listed in exceptional cases. Unless otherwise noted, the buy price for the item is twice the sell price, though many items aren't sold in shops. Items are shown by the jobs that can equip them, the slot (Head/Body/Relic), and then in the reverse order they appear in the Equip menu, which is (more or less) according to Def.

Names given in bold are for the PS version of the game (if known); names for other versions are also given if they are substantially different. Monster and location names are for the PS version (if known). See Statuses for descriptions of status effects, and Elements for more information on elements and elemental effects.

Dancer[edit]

This is armor that can only be used by Dancers (not Mimes). Wearing any armor of this type will double the chances that the Flirt ability will succeed. The Dance ability is modified so that Tempt Tango is not longer performed and the chance of performing the Sword Dance is doubled. The same applies with the dance effect of the Dancing Dagger.
