Notes about final equipment - 

 - Without farming, you only get two Protect Rings and

   two Ribbons in the game.  But you can farm more Ribbons

   from 107 Bog Witch in the Sylph Cave and from 139 Dark

   Sage in the Lair of the Father.  Keep in mind that the

   drop rate is very low.

   You can also farm for additional Protect Rings from

   138 Ahriman in the Lunar Subteranne.

 - Genji Helm is the best non-rare equipment for Edge if

   you decide to NOT give him a Ribbon.

 - Giant's Glove is the best non-rare equipment to give

   Edge if you choose to NOT give him a Protect Ring.

   Keep in mind that a Protect Ring is the ONLY elemental

   defense for Edge.

 - Gold Hairpin is the best non-rare equipment to give

   Rosa if you choose to NOT give them Ribbons.

 - Rune Armlet is the best non-rare equipment to give Rosa

   if you choose to NOT give her a Protect Rings.

   Optimizing your equipment will put Diamond Armlets on

   her because it gives one more point of defense than the

   Rune Armlet.  But the Rune Armlet boosts both Intellect

   and Spirit by 3 points, making it the better choice.

 - While the Gold Hairpin and Diamond Armlet offer

   protection from thunder-based attacks, the Protect Ring

   is the only equipment available for her that protects

   against the three basic elements (fire, ice, thunder).

 - Rosa has the option of using either Staffs or Bow and

   Arrows.  The Arrows can provide excellent elemental or

   status effects against enemies, and give her a boost to

   her speed stat, but I listed the Rune Staff because it

   boosts her Spirit +10.  

   Spirit is what determines how effective her magic and

   Prayers are so you should want that number as high as

   possible, especially towards the end of the game where

   she will be on healing duties more than attacking.

   Should you choose to give her Bow and Arrows, the best

   non-rare equipment Bow is the Yoichi Bow and Artemis

   Arrows.

 - Gold Hairpin is the best non-rare equipment to give

   Rydia if you choose to NOT give them Ribbons.

 - Rune Armlet is the best non-rare equipment to give her

   if you choose to NOT give her a Protect Ring.

   Optimizing your equipment will put Diamond Armlets on

   her because it gives one more point of defense than the

   Rune Armlet.  But the Rune Armlet boosts both Intellect

   and Spirit by 3 points, making it the better choice.

 - While the Gold Hairpin and Diamond Armlet offer

   protection from thunder-based attacks, the Protect Ring

   is the only equipment available for her that protects

   against the three basic elements (fire, ice, thunder).

 - I listed the Stardust Rod for Rydia because of the

   Intellect boost (+10).  Also, using it as an item will

   cast Comet which will do massive damage to all enemies.

   Whips, in stead of Rods, can randomly paralyze, which

   can be very helpful.  If you choose to give her a whip,

   the best non-rare equipment whip is the Flame Whip.
