1. Stats and Level- Taken at L51 (Including Mareg). Here are the relevant stat notes besides speed, which has it's own header:
Attack/Magic: Determine attack or magic damage. Just to note that techs/spells are generally Base Damage+(Relevant Attack Stat-Relevant Defense Stat)
Defense- Each point cuts damage by about 2.5 Points
Mentality- Each point cuts magic damage by 3.5 Points (Enemy Magic Mults might be a bit stronger overall), Also Improves Healing
Move- Movement and also base Evasion (which is pretty middling at default)
2. Speed- Grandia speed effectively has 3 parts. Normal speed (bars filling up for characters waiting to get their turns), charge times (time it takes for move to activate once it is chosen) and recharge time (time it takes after move is used for bars to start filling back up). I tested these with 1 PC alive due to simplicity (so any factors that change when multiple are alive is lost). I suspect that recharge time is greatly increased when you killed something and when there are more PCs alive (but hopefully this factor should mostly balance).
Obviously my tests are approximations given that unlike say, Star Ocean 2, I had no way to reasonably slow down the game to make these precise.
Speed Turn 1- Characters start out with half of their speed bars filled up. As such, for turn 1, speeds are half factored, with charge times mattering.
3. IP Damage and Cancel- A plethora of moves do IP damage, which delays enemies as long as they are not in the charge part of their turns. Of course, given that many bosses have resistance to this (and many randoms just die in a hit), I'm estimating that only damage more than 20% IP counts. Since it doesn't have an effect when enemies are in the charge section, it's of questionable DL worth anyways beyond either preventing a double against a faster opponent or causes a double against a much, much slower opponent. IP Damage can not set a bar back below 0.
Cancel effects cancel an enemy's turn in the charging section and knock them back massive (50% of the turn wait). Basically occurs when an enemy is slightly slower than the cancel move. Again, little overall DL effect as this isn't going to allow for a double, but can prevent a double against some speedy types.
4. Techs (and Magic)- Ignore in game evasion. Good enough to get basic evasion, although not really so thorough to get past comprehensive evasion ala Fire Emblem or Disgaea 2 (to me at least)
5. Skills- I'm taking Millenia and Elena's magic as having generalized skill boosts. Note that this both increases power (although not 10-50% as the skill notes; the effect is a bit more muted than that) and decreases casting time (approximately 60-65% at level 5).
6. StatusesConfuse- Use random move against an enemy or ally (could be seen as nothing in the DL, could be seen as partial chance of doing nothing to reflecting attacking an enemy, could at least be seen as making the enemy use something random); Knocks target back to beginning of bar; Lasts about 1 enemy turn
Instant Death- PC Side Only
Paralysis- Character is paralyzed and their accumulated turn order is set to 0. Lasts about 8 seconds on enemies.
Poison- Slight damage every few seconds. Don't believe this wears off
Silence- No spells. Don't believe this wears off
Sleep- Character is put to sleep and their accumulated turn order is set to 0. Cancelled by damage or wears off naturally. Lasts about 1.5 turns.
Tech Lock- No physical techs. Don't believe this wears off
Weapon Status- Appears to be 25% per string barring Ryudo's ID
