Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008) armor

This is a list of armor available in Dissidia Final Fantasy. Armor is divided into three categories: Hand, Head, and Body. As with weapons and accessories, most of the equipment found here are drawn from the other Final Fantasy games. With the use of equipment abilities any character can equip any non-exclusive piece of armor; the lists presented here are based on what the characters can initially equip.
See Combination for special effects gained by equipping certain sets of equipment.

==Other==
===Machines===
Machines can only be equipped by characters who have the Equip Machines ability equipped. Note that "Accessory Breakability" does not mean that the machines will break; rather, it means that accessories that have a chance to break (such as the EXP-boosting Chocobo accessories) will break more often. Accessories that do not normally break (except for Pebbles) will not break, even if multiple machines are equipped.

==Trivia==
*Vivi Ornitier and Adelbert Steiner make a cameo appearance as tutors in the Equipment Customization menu.
*Besides the Exclusive, Special, and Machine armor, Bartz is the only character who can equip all armor.
*The Drill's status as a helmet is a reference to a glitch in the Japanese Super Famicom version of Final Fantasy VI which allowed any item to be equipped in the helmet slot. Edgar's Tool was the best helmet equippable in this manner.
