In most games, heavy weight armor will have more def point, however light weight armor will have something add on to compete with it such as "higher evasion" or "higher speed"

However, now all piece of armor only has primary status as "DEF" and I not see any balance in them at all. Other than "can equip" and "can not equip" shouldn't there be something else that make those types of armor equal value? MRD can wear light armor also, but there is any point for him to want to wear it at all? other than lower of primary defend, I don't see anything better on it. (the bonus status also about the same for both light and heavy gear)

It also not make sense to not have lower evasion when wearing such a thick plate armor also. :/
