From the sleek black and advanced Nanosuit, the charred destroyed armour of the amalgamation of all who linked in the fire in the form of The Soul of Cinder to the Power Suit gifted to Samus and has become a staple of her character, never straying too far from the normal design, armour has always had a prominent role in marketing pretty much anything with combat in it for its looks and appeal. Over the years people have gone apeshit crazy with some of their designs creating some odd things and then some incredible things. What’s your favourite armour set from pretty much any entertainment?
Mine personally goes towards Guts’ Beserker Armour from the 1997 Anime Beserk and the novel it originated from. This armour and the greatsword that accompanied it pretty much single handedly inspired the whole aesthetic design of the Souls series up until the third one where they practically said “-blam!- it, make it actually berserk” one of my favourite game series of all time. Having watched the 1997 Beserk anime when I was around 13 or 14, the armour stuck out as well, just awesome, not even to go into the man who wears it. The jagged black and malicious edges of it screams badass as well as the blood red slits for eyes really giving the title of Berserker Armour the respect it deserves.
Of course there’s other incredible armour sets out there, but the Berserker armour stands out to me as one of my all time favourites for so many reasons.
Anyways, what about you guys?

9 RepliesEphesians 6:11-18 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Nightingale set from Skyrim was pretty good.

Goblin Slayer Armor. You can eat without taking the helmet off, it’s made of layered plate and the metal actually stops blades. Unless of course you hit the joints... There’s a Shadiversity Video on it... plus, shield on the arm is versatile for stabbing. [spoiler]what? It’s a good anime.[/spoiler] Clone Trooper Phase I & II armor Much better than Stormtrooper armor Clone Commando Armor Not only does it look cool, it’s got a retractable stabby on your left hand, AND a Windex function for your visors! No blood in my eyes! Mandalorian armor It’s obvious, beskar and style. Halo armor Also obvious. The thing’s a super suit. Makes you look taller too.

1 ReplySpecter armor with hood in Terraria with magic handcuffs means infinite mana on hits and HP on attacks. Pair with Razorpine or Bubblegun and you are a God for pretty much the entire game.

5 RepliesEdited by ElementNinja: 1/8/2020 3:10:08 AMCan someone point to me a franchise or movie or series where the armor actually worked as intended (not plot armor)? I’m sick of watching movies and shows where someone could slash someone’s guts out even though they were wearing chain mail and full plate armor. Like, at that point, why even wear armor? You might as well stroll into the battlefield naked.

Edited by CommonBlueberry: 1/8/2020 11:29:11 PMI really liked Shardplate from Brandon Sanderson's [i]The Stormlight Archive[/i] series. I always imagined it like gothic arnor, except more flexible, more plates and seperations, and its helmet gives much better visibility. It also fits to the user's body, so it is never bulky or too tight. Aesthetically, it can be any color and is highly customizable

7 RepliesDepends, are small mechs considered armor or vehicles? Because I love [url=https://i.ytimg.com/vi/a8eVqJu1QSw/hqdefault.jpg]Susie’s mech[/url] from Planet Robobot. If that doesn’t count, I’d have to do some digging. I’m tempted to give it to [url=https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cocona_papika_27.jpg]Cocona & Papika’s armor[/url], but while I love the overall aesthetic of the armor there’s something I can’t place about the suits themselves I don’t like.

ODST, Noble Team, Mk. IV, V, VI, Arbiter (H2, H3), Artorias' set, Ornstein's set, Raime's set, Farram set, Soul of Cinder set, Ezio's armor, Clone armor gen. 1, Aragorn's ranger outfit, Sauron's armor, Maximus Decimus Meridius general armor. Probably missing some, but that's most.

1 ReplyI’m going to sound like a sellout but Halo’s armor. It’s aesthetically pleasing, it is actually quite practical in terms of the separation of the plates, and it has a lot of layers of protections instead of simple metal plates.
