Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy armor

This is a list of all armors available in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. Like in Dissidia Final Fantasy, the armors here are also divided into three different types, Hand, Head, and Body. As with the weapons and accessories, most of the equipment are drawn from the other games in the Final Fantasy series. 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. Most, but not all, of this armor can be acquired in the shop.

See Combination for special effects gained by equipping certain sets of equipment.
