Best equipment for each character

Well, anyone?

There is none. It's all about the skills you get on them and the amount of sanctifies you put on it. Like if you're able to get a sword with exceed +1 base combo and 3x 4% attack and then manage to keep it like that for sanctifications you could end up with +4 base combo and 3x 16% Attack. Don't know if it works, tho. I've only done it once just to get the achievement, and I'll be trying it out completely on my second playthrough in chaos mode.

I would also have answered "skills", but more in the vein of skill combos.
If you can manage to get a lot of "+1X on level up", you can quickly grow stronger, and the earlier you get those, the better.

It might sound dumb, but considering that there a lot of level ups to get (max level is 200), these add up and can fairly easily bridge the difference between good gear and great gear.

Other than mix and match what YOU think which skills are best to put on your weapon the weapon you'd want to get is probably the unnamed weapons at the end of the game.

These weapons/armor/acc all have +10 stats on them and they do not increase with fusions. The good thing about these weapons is that they can fuse with ANYTHING from the SAME class and all 4 skill slots can be changed. Additionally, you can carry these over with NG+. (*note that you have to get them up to +10 first and bless them for them to actually carry over in NG+ as well as enabling the grade option and equiping it on ur character on that save). You can find the weapons/armor/acc in the last dungeon as well as the ex dungeon after you beat the boss.
