The description of Ifrit's Mantle isn't consistent with the stats you gave it.  It should nullify water or the description could use some tweaking.  Resisting cold isn't quite the same thing...

fine, changed =P

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, those are quite powerful, and are all very similar (such as the old Summons themselves) I do like that you called them Esper's though. But only one of those would be chosen, and probably won't be holding the namesake of any of their summons (for your Ifrit one for instance, I see a "Rubicante's Cape" much more of an appetizing possibility, even then it's stats will be highly modified.

Thank you for the inspiration though.

LD, if possible, could you send me what items you have already placed and what their effects SHOULD be from this list, i want to know (since the description in game doesn't say) and maybe give more suggestions based off that information.

EDIT: NEW ITEM IDEA

Strange Cloak- My god, whoever thought of this item is a ****ing idiot!
HP: 0

[Skip Sandwich]

Genji Helm --> Cursed Helm
HP: 100
MP: 15
Always: Confuse
Cancel: Sleep, Charm, Addle
MA +2, PA +1

Genji Armor --> Cursed Plate
HP: 100
MP: 15
Always: Confuse
Cancel: Poison, Frog, Blood Suck
PA +2, MA +1

Genji Glove --> Cursed Glove
Strengthen: All
Weak: All

[LastingDawn]

Ah, as always a very interesting idea, though Confusion is superbly debilitating, but those are fitting effects for such and are extremely fitting. This sounds like the proper set to replace Genji. Also for that cape, I'm not sure what to say, regarding it, eh heh...

[Sephirot24]

As good and creative as that Genji gear is, who in their right minds would throw into battle a permanently confused unit?

[LastingDawn]

With the right tools Confuse can be relatively controlled... almost. They also give large bonuses, and if thrown into the right circumstances (say it's down to just you and a few enemies remaining) equipping this Armor could save you.

[Skip Sandwich]

the cursed equipments, save possibly the Cursed Glove, really aren't meant to be primary equipment, but rather something you switch to via Eqiup Change when you judge the risk is worth it. I almost added Always: Protect to the armor, and Always: Shell to the helmet, but I kind of wanted them to be more of an uneven gamble, but if playtesting reveals them to be not effective enough, then those can always be added in.

also, here is the flavor text for each of those items

this ebony helm/armor/gauntlet was once used to seal away a powerful fiend, it grants great power, but drives the bearer to treachery and madness

[SilvasRuin]

Always Blind and Berserk might be too crippling.  Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't recall Berserked units paying all that much attention to where the enemy is facing.

Always: Innocent might be too potent.  Complete magic immunity?  With items, you don't need magic to heal...

[boomkick]

Another thing for fun.

Idiot Cape- Cape for idiots.
Move + 20
Jump +20
Always Blind, Confused, Dark Matter, Critical.

I want to see what happens.

[PX_Timefordeath]

Always: Innocent might be too potent.  Complete magic immunity?  With items, you don't need magic to heal...

Items? You mean that one rune that heals 50, and that's all? lol, Maybe Always:Prayer might be better.

[SilvasRuin]

Oh, that's the only one?  That might be a bit more feasible then...  I need to read up more on what all those runes are.

Edit:  Yeah, just checked through them.  No revival items and only one tier of "potion" means that it isn't nearly as overpowered as I thought it would be.

[Skip Sandwich]

Barbuta --> Horned Helm
intimidating helm favored by bandits
