Female-exclusive equipment: Difference between revisions

'''Female-exclusive equipment''' is a recurring subset of equipment that, with some exceptions, can only be equipped by female characters in the {{DQSeries}}. Throughout the games, this has included pieces such as dresses, bikinis, tiaras, lingerie, and even certain weapons such as the [[Siren sword]]. This equipment has typically offered various bonuses and special effects for female characters. While male-exclusive equipment always existed as well, many were either joke pieces of equipment or simply not as numerous as their female counterparts, although this began to change in later games in the series.

With the ability to have any character in the party be female, including the {{Hero 3}}, the number of equipment for female characters increased. Remake versions of the game would add even more pieces that appeared in later games of the series. The shimmering dress in particular is the most protective piece of armor in the game.

In the original version of the game, [[Jessica Albert]] was the sole female party member and there were many pieces of equipment that could only be equipped by her. There were some that could even change {{Jessica}}'s appearance. Whips and Knives were only usable by her. The [[Nintendo 3DS]] version added [[Red]] as a playable character, giving her many of the same equipment choices as Jessica, including the ability to use Knives and Whips. She was also the only party member who could equip Fans.
