    Default Armor..?

    I'm not sure if this has been addressed in the past as it is not a question I ever thought to ask.

    How does armor function in this game?

    It is essentially just an armband or wrist brace and can't truly be effective defensively in combat. So how exactly does it do the job? The first armor you get has no materia slots so clearly that is not an essential aspect.

    Red XIII is clearly worse off as he can't "brace" against attacks via his forelimbs. And where exactly does the ARM go on Cait Sith? Is it on the cat? Is it on the mog? Does the defense spread to multiple bodies or does it only need to protect the cat?

    Final Fantasy VII is the first (and seemingly only) title to use this armor design. (Edit: except maybe PS2 games)

    Is there any lore to explain how it functions or is it something the designers continue to wish we'll ignore?

    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
