The chest piece you get from the NIN job quest causes a squeaking.

[Elazu]

Because it's part chainmail?

So we all have something to use when practicing our blind fighting combat techniques...

doesn't squeak, it rattles. chainmail.

Either way a NINJA shouldn't be wearing something that makes noise. Kind of hard to sneak around when every time you make a step it sounds like youre carrying a ton of mice in your pockets.

Form fitting chainmail shouldn't rattle. About the only time chainmail will rattle is if it includes a free hanging section (like tassets) that might jingle or rattle as it brushes against the metal under it, but the chainmail included in the Ninja AF set doesn't have any free hanging sections like that.

I guess it could be said that with that particular armor the Ninja chest piece is actually armor used for combat and not stealth. Due to the embellished reinforcements throughout the design, and the over all use of metal, I believe it was designed specifically for close quarters combat and not for... lets say strategic stealth information gathering missions. Mind you my Rogue is only level 21 and my theory is only from my personal knowledge of armor and not based on any story line information or details.
