One of the things fans loved about the original game is its unrelenting difficulty, and therefore, the supreme satisfaction it provides. In order to properly brave the harsh world of Demon's Souls, there are a ton of armor sets in the game you can utilize to make your journey just a tad smoother.

Edited July 26, 2021 by Renan Fontes: Demon's Souls is nothing short of a masterpiece and while it may not have as much variety as its successor games like Bloodborne or Dark Souls, that's actually a notch in its favor. Demon's Souls doesn't have much in the way of armor, but what sets are present are very unique in their own right while carrying specific stats and attributes. Demon's Souls definitely leans into the "Fashion Souls" side of things, but that doesn't mean gear is worthless.
