The whole Giant Dad thing was that the Giant Set had the highest defense in the game, while the Mask of the Father combined with the Ring of Favor and Protection and Havel's Ring gave the player a massive equipment load to mitigate its weight. That way you had huge defense without sacrificing mobility or having to power-level.

While the aforementioned set up might look similar, it lacks the actual benefits of the whole Giant Dad setup. It also makes you incredibly susceptible to lightning.
