Ugh, here goes. Note that there are spoilers here, of course. This is definitely a work in progress.
Explanations and stuff
Reyvateils: Reyvateils don't "get" turns. They can act at any time. When they act, they can charge a song. For attack songs, damage is dependent on how long they charge it. Healing spells heal every so many ticks. Buff spells last as long as the Reyvateil is charging it. All spells have 4 levels, and the song gets more powerful the higher the level.
In the DL, the best damage the Reyvateils can do involve charging up to 10% (1 tick) and releasing it, and then repeating over and over. Right before the enemy gets a turn (1 tick before it), the Reyvateil is going to want to use a buffing spell to try and lessen the enemy's damage. Then they can use healing spells to get back to full HP and then repeat the assault.
Reyvateils regain MP when they're not charging a song. This means that the limiting factor of a Reyvateil's actions is number of song charges.
All songs ignore defense. They do hit resistances though.
Fighters: Fighters act within a CTB system. Their effective speed is calculated as follows:
Effective Speed = 500 + Agility.
One way to think about this speed is that every tick, their CTB bar is increased by their effective speed, and once the CTB bar hits 100,000 they get a turn. Another way is to calculate the number of ticks needed to get a turn, which is:
ticks = 100,000/(500+Agility).
I have reason to believe the game uses the latter, but barring rounding differences, the end result is the same.
Fighters can use their skills if the Harmonics level is high enough, which requires a fighter and a Reyvateil to be fighting together. Since this never happens in the DL, fighters can't use their skills. The exception is Lyner, who can use Impulse at Harmonics L0.
Fighters can also Wait and get their next turn twice as quickly. Pretty much useless.
Enhancing: Characters can enhance their weapons by connecting grathnode crystals to them. Think materia, but only stat boosts. Grathnode crystals are universal.
However, since the crystals are really important, it doesn't seem fair to leave them completely. As of now I'm not listing any, but a reasonable interpretation is to allow them characters any grathnode crystals they can get by recrystalizing (turning an item into a crystal) equipment they can wear. They can also recrystalize things they made/received in plot (only applies to Lyner and the Reyvateils). I'll probably get info on that eventually, but not at the moment.
Installing: Reyvateils can install grathnode crystals into their songs, making them more powerful or having other effects. Since these are technically not universal, I personally allow them, but only storeboughts (and any gotten in the same was as the enhancing crystals above). Again, I don't have info on those yet, but will later.
Stat Explanations
HP: If you don't know what these are, you're at the wrong forum.
MP: Magic points. Only Reyvateils have these. Used to charge songs.
Attack: How hard you hit things.
F Attack: Fire Attack. For every 1 F Attack, 1% of fire damage is added to your physical. Max is 100.
I Attack: Ice Attack. See above, but replace fire with ice.
L Attack: Lightning Attack. See above, blah blah.
W Attack: Wind Attack. You know the drill.
Critical: Rate of critical in terms of percents. Physical criticals are 1.5x damage.
Defense: Lessens damage taken.
F Resist: Fire Resist. In terms of percent reduction (100 is immunity).
I/L/W Resist: Figure it out.
Agility: Affects speed. Maybe evade? Ar tonelico evade blows.
Assorted formulae
Physical damage: Don't know the formula, but it seems like some kind of exponential formula.
If physical critical, damage := damage*1.5
If magical critical, damage := damage*1.2
effective speed = agility + 500
MP cost/tick = GD/15*(1-GDR/2) where GD is the GD cost of the song and GDR is the Reyvateil's GD-Regist stat as a percentage.
The Characters
Levels were taken wherever I was at endgame. I chose Misha's path so Lyner, Misha, Jack, and Krusche will outlevel the others by a bit. Shurelia and Ayatane both join underlevelled regardless. It's only a 4 level spread max, so it's not a big jump.
Equipment: I allow any equipment that there are an infinite number of copies. Usually it is storebought or created through grathmelding. In any case, they are extremely easy to get. Uniques and plot given items are allowed as well.
Reyvateils
All songs ignore defense, but hit resistances.
The variable c in the song formulae denote the song charge, as a number (not a percent). Songs are charged at 10%/tick.
Lx determines what level of the song the formula is for. I only listed L1's for most songs because I am lazy and they will never want to charge up to L2 in the DL anyways.
Numbers in parenthesis denote how many uses of that song are available initially. They can buy more with DP (dive points) near the end of the game. DP are really easy to come by, so it's not unreasonable to allow them more usages. As of now I'm only using the initial amount until I figure out how exactly to factor in more charges for DP.

To do list:
Relative durabilities. I have no clue how to do these yet because Ar tonelico mechanics are on crack.
Add in Origin crystals at the very least.
Setups with arguably allowed crystals.
