Key things about the Ginasta fight: She only has three moves, and she cycles them. Tyrant Slayer does 80% of your maximum HP plus or minus 10% or so, and completely ignores both armor and evasion so you cannot tank it or avoid in any way. Break Control does 10 damage plus or minus 2, meaning it's basically a waste of her turn, and she only uses it on turns 2 and 6 before giving up. Enduring Aura restores her HP by 2000 and buffs all of her stats, and she uses it every 3 turns. If you let the fight go on too long then you'll just be eating a steady diet of Tyrant Slayers and Enduring Auras, so your best interest is to finish this as fast as possible.

She's immune to all status effects except for stat debuffs, and takes full damage from physical attacks, 60% from ice attacks, 50% from fire, 40% from thunder and 25% from poison and sex attacks, so your best bets are physical attackers and Robin's Ice Lance. Her physical and magical defenses are both at 300, so you will barely scratch her without debuffing her defenses and buffing your offense.

Armor doesn't do anything about her damage and there are no status effects in play so equip every item you have that boosts your attack score. You want Simon (because he's required), Aka (for Disabling Assault), Qum (for Arousing Aura, especially if she has a full lust bar) and your biggest damage dealer (probably either Robin or Varia depending on who has the better gear- maybe Varia if you managed to get a pair of Durge Swords at some point, Robin if you opened up the War Vaults).

Have Simon use Precise Strike every round and hope for some crits, have Aka use Disabling Strike the first two rounds, have Qum use Arousing Aura and then have either Robin continually cast Ice Lance or have Varia spam Blade Dance (or her upgraded Frenzy skill in the first round to make sure she gets buffed by Qum and thus won't whiff on the attacks). With good gear and good levels you should be able to finish her off on turn 3 before she gets to use Enduring Aura. With really good gear, levels and luck you can finish her off on turn 2.
