The Magic vestment, also known as the Magical robes, is a robe in the series.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
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 gold crosses embroidered on the sleeves. In most of the art, the robe appears to be either a red or magenta colour, 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. The robe's name in Japanese, Mahō no hōi, refers to a ceremonial garment worn by either a Buddhist or Taoist priest.
