:::Eh? I believe that "armor" is a non-quantifiable noun, like water, which certainly makes it awkward with some pronouns or articles. Consider "those water" vs. "that water". It's the same situation. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 20:44, 20 January 2015 (UTC) | :::Eh?

::"Waters" is definitely a word, for one, and wiktionary calls "armor" both countable and uncountable (it also explicitly says "armors" is a plural form of "armor", but oh well).{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 23:01, 20 January 2015 (UTC) | ::"Waters" is definitely a word, for one, and wiktionary calls "armor" both countable and uncountable (it also explicitly says "armors" is a plural form of "armor", but oh well).{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 23:01, 20 January 2015 (UTC) | ||
:::"Armors" is a word, apparently, just as "waters" is. But it just sounds plain awkward. Thus we say "suits of armor" because that is effectively what Keyblade Armor is. It's a generic term; "armors" is never used in-game. Even when addressing multiple characters, for example, Eraqus says "Your '''armor''' will protect you." - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 02:24, 21 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
