Half Plate

Half Plate (ハーフアーマー, Hāfupurēto) is a type of equipment available in Suikoden II.

Information
It is pretty much identical to its counterpart, the Half Armor. It is an armor made of metal, wrapping around nearly the entire upper body, as compared to the Full Plate which offers total body protection.

Its protective capabilities are quite decent and so it is often used by travellers.
