Description, Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
The Circlet (サークレット, Sākuretto?) is a recurring piece of equipment in the Final Fantasy series. It is most often a helmet, and gives a variety of stat boosts, mostly to Magic and Magic Defense. In this sense, it could be considered a counterpart to the Twist Headband.
