Grand Armor

The Grand Armor is a recurring piece of armor in the Final Fantasy series. It is a rare heavy armor.

Final Fantasy IV
Found only in the Advance version, the Grand Armor can be equipped by Cid. It grants +28 Defense, +10 Magic Defense, -10 Evasion, +8 Magic Evasion, and +15 to Spirit and Strength. It also grants resistant to Lightning-elemental attacks, and can only be found in the Cave of Trials.

Final Fantasy IX
The Grand Armor can only be worn by Steiner and Freya. It can be stolen from the Nova Dragon, or synthesized with a Mythril Sword and Mythril Armor for 45,000 Gil. It provides 59 Defense and 1 Strength, and halves Shadow-elemental damage. It also teaches the ability Chemist and Restore HP.

Final Fantasy XII
The Grand Armor is the strongest heavy armor, won rarely from Helvinek. It provides 61 Defense, +12 Strength, and 90 LP as well as the Heavy Armor 10 License to wear. Because Grand Armor is an extremely rare drop, the best way to acquire one is by chaining Helvinek using the Zone Out Glitch; when the Helvinek appears, the player must lure it to an area zone line, defeat it, grab the loot and get into the next zone before the EXP and LP are displayed, and it will reappear in the next zone. One has to be quick, so if the loot is too far away, the player should just leave the loot and fight it again in the next zone.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
Grand Armor appears as a level 90 Heavy Armor that provides +2897 HP, +34 Bravery, and +7% Physical Defense. It can be obtained by trading 140,820 Gil, Shielded Armor, Catoblepas Eye, and Warrior's Hopes x5.
