FFIX Add-On Icon HD

An add-on (アクセサリ, Akusesarī?) is an equipment type similar to accessories in Final Fantasy IX. Add-ons have various effects, such as allowing the absorption of certain elements or raising certain stats. Add-ons are not purchasable in shops, but are found or crafted in synthesis shops. Each character can equip one add-on at a time.

The original game was released on four discs for the PlayStation. The later digital releases do not have distinct "parts" like this, though "discs" are still indicated on the file saves. Some equipment pieces are only available within certain time frames, and on which "disc" they are available is still shown in this article.

Certain equipment pieces give elemental weaknesses that are not noted in the menu. The only way to see whether an equipment piece gives a weakness is to use Scan on the wearer mid-battle. Equipping both element-halving and element-weak equipment together results in damage being roughly 75% of its normal value.

Certain equipment pieces affect the wearer's stat growth when they level up. The equipment pieces that have a stat-boosting trait give incremental bonuses when the wearer gains a level, and bequeath permanent stat growth over multiple level ups depending on the number of times the wearer gained a "level up bonus" from an equipment piece that boosts that particular stat. This system resembles how stat growth worked in Final Fantasy VI, but is instead mostly hidden from the player. The best stat-boosting gear is available late into the game, but min-maxing is unnecessary for a normal playthrough; the player can just wear whatever equipment has the best defensive values or equipment that teach new abilities and still be able to defeat any encounter with the right strategy.
