Wizard armors

All these parts can be worn by Relm and Strago, who are the best magic users in the game. Many of them can be worn by Tina/Terra and Celes, who have innate magic abilities. Gogo can also equip some of them.

On the other hand, none of them (or almost none) can be worn by Edgar, Cayenne/Cyan, Setzer and Umaro, who are some of the strongest physical fighters.

Heavy armor sets

All these armor parts can be worn by Tina/Terra and Celes, who are the most all-round characters. Almost all of them can be worn by Edgar, Cayenne/Cyan and Setzer, who are some of the strongest physical fighters.

Almost none of them can be worn by the wizards Relm and Strago, nor by the mimic Gogo nor the monk Mash/Sabin.
