Below is listed the armor in Final Fantasy IV Easy Type. Every character can equip up to four different armor parts at the same time: body protection, shield, arms protection and head protection. Easy Type simplified the names of items to make it easier for younger Japanese players to read and to help bring the point of certain comments across more clearly.
The only differences with the original vesion are the translation names and an small upgrade of the attributes of two or three armor parts.
Note: The defense and evasion camps show how much of these stats is added or subtracted to the character's main stat. Some armor may reduce the stats, while some may not add anything at all. An unequipped character has 30% base evasion, s/he is granted 10% evasion per empty head, body, or arm slot. The max rate of evasion or magic evasion is 99%.
