When buying armor, you have 5 choices: Light, Medium, Heavy, BLADE, and Skell. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? From what I can tell so far:

• BLADE armor is good for leveling up (it has EXP bonuses)
• Skell armor is good for skell piloting (lots of Skell bonuses)

... but what are the other armor classes used for? Everyone can equip everything, so is there some reason to not outfit everyone in heavy armor?

It seems like the primary differences in ground gear armor classes is their gravity resistance (ie, how susceptible you are to topple), the number of upgrade slots available (light armor has more upgrade slots), and the defense conferred. Heavy armor has less gravity resistance than light armor, so you're more likely to be toppled.

lol the reason is possibilities of upgrade!

most armors come with traits (bonus)

for lv 60 stuff, heavy can be upgraded 6 times, medium 8 times, light 10 times and skell 16 times.
