Suikoden 2 armor types and equipments listing compiled by Feral (feralnoa@aol.com) 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. List of characters and their armor type, helmet or headgear, shield if they can carry one.

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. Aya Brea for chatting with me via e-mail and asking "Don't you hate powerful stuff 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. If you'd like to use this list for something, feel free, but Please give me credit for typing it all up and testing most of the stuff to make sure it's accurate.
