Equipping armor will affect both your physical and magic defense. Setting materia to your armor will also give you access to a variety of skills, depending on the materia.

This is a list of the armor pieces in Final Fantasy VII Remake and "Episode INTERmission". They are listed in the order they appear in the menu if sorted by type, the INTERmission-exclusives relegated to the end of the list.
Armor functions similarly to the original Final Fantasy VII. Characters can equip a single piece of armor, alongside one accessory. The armor includes slots for materia, as well as boosts to attributes.
Costs displayed here are the amount needed to purchase one, though what is available depends on the current chapter, and not all armor can be purchased. Selling prices are half of its cost.
