Equipping
Unlike Weapons and Shields, Armor does not show up on a unit when equipped. Since the Jobs themselves are often based around a specific armor type, their base sprites reflect this.
Units may equip up to two (2) different Armor Types. Body Armor is often chosen as one type, but there might be benefits to mixing two other types depending on what sort of build you are going for.
