Equipment Abilities are a set of recurring abilities in the series. First debuting in Final Fantasy V, these abilities allow the player to equip a character with any equipment that their class or character themselves could not use normally. For instance, a player could give the Equip Sword ability to a Black Mage. The following is a list of Equipment Abilities:
The abilities Doublehand, Dual Wield, Re-Equip, and Monkey Grip are all Equipment Abilities as well. Doublehand allows for equipping any weapon with both hands, doubling attack power but making the user unable to use shields. Dual Wield allows the player to use two weapons at the same time. Re-Equip allows the user to change their equipment during battle, and Monkey Grip allows the user to equip a dual-wield weapon with one hand, allowing them to use a shield.

Equip Armor, Axes, Bows, Harps, Katanas, Ribbons, Rods, Shields, Spears, Swords, and Whips make their debut in this game. They are the final abilities of Berserker, Ranger, Bard, Samurai, Dancer, Time Mage, Dragoon, and Beastmaster respectively. Equip Armor, Shield, and Sword are the last 3 abilities of the Knight class.
By equipping the Merit Award relic, any character can equip anything that he or she could not equip normally, except for Relics, Ultima Weapon, Snow Muffler, Bone Club, female specifics, and animal suits. In Snes version Merit award can be equipped by anyone, but in Playstation version Merit award cannot be equipped by Gau and in Gba release this is extended to Gogo.
Equipment Abilities are a set of Support Abilities in Final Fantasy Tactics. Learnt by several classes, each ability lets a class equip weapons or armor they would not usually be able to equip. However, this takes up a Support slot better used for something else, meaning it is just better to change into a job that can already equip the equipment you want.

Shieldbearer allows any job to equip shields, and can be learned by every race through any of three shields, with some jobs available to learn from two of them. The Bronze Shield allows Soldiers, Warriors, and Fencers to learn the ability. The Round Shield allows Sages, Fencers, and Mog Knights to learn the ability. The Opal Shield allows Soldiers and Mog Knights to learn the ability.
Shieldbearer returns in this installment, allowing any job to equip Shields. The previous races all learn it from the same jobs, while Vikings and Raptors allow Seeq and Gria to have the ability, respectively. Ribbon-Bearer allows for all jobs in a race to equip Ribbons, and is learned by the Seer, Trickster, and Tinker. Viera and Gria can equip ribbons naturally, but Seeq are unable to learn this ability, and as such cannot equip ribbons. Tank allows for any job in a race to equip Heavy Armor, and can be learned by the Defender, Lanista, and Ravager.
Equipment Abilities return as abilities that any character can use. The following is a list of these abilities in Dissidia:
