Suikoden 2 armor types and equipments listing
compiled by Feral ([email protected])

Version 0.7 January, 2000. Started this list.

Don't you just hate it when you find something like Windspun Armor, and
it looks really great, but no one (well, no one that you brought along,
at any rate) can wear it? Me too. Well, this is my solution to that.
This list is intended to show which of the many characters in the Playstation
game Suikoden 2 can equip which armors and helmets/headgear, as well as
whether they can have a shield. Also hopefully it will eventually have a
comprehensive listing of the accessories and which characters those can be
equipped by. I had noticed that the instructions booklet which came with
Suikoden 2 had a list placing each of the armors into one (or more) of
four categories. This then gave me the idea that it could be possible to
put together a list of which characters can wear each of the armors,
without having to write it all out over and over about 70 or so times.
If each character could only wear one type of armor, then it would be
comparatively simple to use the categories to predict which armors
could be worn by each character, as opposed to manually trying out
each combination. Same thing for the helmets/headgear, and it would
also be simple to determine whether a character can carry a shield as
well. The accessories, on the other hand, pose a bit more of a problem,
as the instructions booklet did not provide types for them.
Note: This is still preliminary, and some of these are still from
guesswork. If you find any mistakes, such as characters/equipment being
left out or incorrectly listed, please e-mail me with the correction(s),
and how you determined it so I can fix the problem. Also, the
instructions booklet that came with the game also had some mistakes in
it which I have attempted to catch and fix, but some may still have
slipped by.

Credits and Thanks to:
whoever at Konami made Suikoden2 and the booklet that came with the game, otherwise
I wouldn't have anything to write about.

like Windspun Armor that no one can wear?" which is what gave me the idea to make
this list.
The people who post on the Suikoden board at rpgamer for giving me feedback
and encouragement (I post on there as Viki) and Pesmerga for just being helpful
in general.
Anyone else who helped me in any way that I may have forgotten to mention.
