Goodness that reminds me that I have to get some strong equipment for my characters. By any chance does anyone know how to obtain the Yagyu Darkblade(s) and Formalhauts? (sp?)

I think you can get the Darkblade via a shop... I want to say on the way towards Archades. I'm truly not sure. Now, I want to say the Fomalhaut is a pretty much guaranteed get if you do the long and difficult hunt towards Zodiac. Thing is, there are no save crystals anywhere there... It's an all or nothing; as well the creatures are very high up there in levels. Lastly, the Fomalhaut is in a chest that will not regenerate. If you don't get it via that chest, and you want it, start the game over (don't save what you got so far) to see if you're successful a second (or more) time(s) through. I can't think of any other way to get the Fomalhaut...

I thought the Forgotten Grimoires increase the drop rate of rarer items, or something.

Yes, the grimoires will increase your chances of hitting rare items in steals and drops (I think steals, as well). Thing is, with it, you also get the increase in getting pebbles which are only worth 2 gil each. Still, you can get some pretty good stuff with the grimoires, so... Perhaps later in the game if not right away?
