The design of the magic vestment has changed little over the years. It is a long, trailing robe similar to those worn by real life clergy, with a high collar and white fur lining, clasps in the front, and yellow rhombus designs embroidered near the sleeves. In most of the art, the robe appears to be either a red or magenta color, but it is depicted as mint green in ''IV''. The length of the robe has changed depending on the game as well, as the end trails on the ground behind the wearer in ''III'' and ''IV'', but in later games, the robe ends at the ankles. In Japanese, the word ''hoi'' refers to a ceremonial garment worn by either a Buddhist or Taoist priest.
