Hats (帽子, Boushi?) are a recurring type of Headgear on the series. They are often used by melee and magical-based jobs that cannot equip Helms, like the Thief, the Black Mage, and the Blue Mage. As examples of recurring Hats on the series, we have the Hypno Crown, the Red Cap, and the Gold Hairpin.
Also, on recent titles like Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics, Ribbons began to be classified as accessories or a new type of weapon, called Hair Adornments.
