# Final Fantasy IV/Advance equipment

In Final Fantasy IV and subsequent releases, two optional dungeons were added. In there, many equipment parts can be found. Each equipment is specific for one single character. Their attack and defense power are very high, but their most important characteristics are their unique special effects.
Note that Tellah and Fusoya have no special Advance equipment.
