This is a list of the armor pieces that appear in Final Fantasy VII. Unlike earlier games, characters can only equip a single piece of armor, and the only type of armor is bracelets. Due to the Magic Defense bug, the Magic Defense stat listed on each armor piece does not affect the character's Magic Defense stat in the original versions of the game; though the addition is shown in the equip screen, it is not actually applied and does not show on the status screen. This is fixed in the 2012 PC release and all versions there on.
The costs displayed here are the buy prices. Not all armor can be purchased, however, sell prices are calculated as half the buy price.
