Armor VS Weapons

[Ultima Shadow]

Almost always weapons. Only exceptions are when I'm playing some kind of challenge that pretty much requires that I have a certain armor in order to even be able to survive against a certain boss etc. Though I try to get both as often as possible, I sometimes end up with really bad early-game armor for a very long period of time simply because I spend all my money on getting the best weapons aviable. In those games where you can randomly find awesome equipment while progressing trough the storyline rather than having to buy it, I usually don't have to worry much about it though.

But yeah, I generally priorize weapons.

[Madame Adequate]

Armor, usually. I can take people out in a number of ways, usually - attacks, magic, skills, items, etc. - but you have to be alive to do that. I tend to grind hard though, so I can usually afford most things.

[Vermachtnis]

Weapons, because you can actually see them. If it's a game where you can see what armor your wearing I go for that because it's like an alternate costume.

[Tasura]

If they're a fighty class/character weapons, if they're a magic class/character armor, if the characters have no specific disposition then starting with the main characters full set, then down the list.

[Nifleheim7]

I always try to balancing it out in the beginning which means i spend an equal amount of money on both armor and weapons.
Later in the game though,i think i give a bit more focus on weapons rather than armor.

[Laddy]

I try to balance it out most of the time, but I'll lean towards a particular direction depending on skill, class, situation, etc.

[blackmage_nuke]

Neither, Whenever i buy a weapon or armour then a few minutes later i usually find a better weapon or armour just lying on the floor. I only buy weapons and armour when there is a section I am having difficulty with and then it really depends on the situation i am having trouble with.

[Rase]

Armor, no question. Dunno why, but it's just how I do things. Granted, I rarely have any issues with money and can by the best of both options for my characters, and if I can't I have no problem grinding to make it so I can.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Weapons. My general stance is if I kill them fast enough, they won't have time to do damage to me.
