Don't want to watch the video or want a quick overcap? Here is the write up. All these methods were discovered during the Japanese release by a variety of players, which I've used both in the JP version and English version, so I'm just giving a quick overview on how they work.
1. Reach Lohgrin
2. Unlock All Lord of the Lands and raise them to level 3 for treasure restoration
3. Raise Lohgrin Shop Level to 4 to be able to buy Drop Bottles
4. Rest at the inn and eat a food that will help boost gald
5. Reach level 76 so mimics can spawn
6. Obtain Bronze, Silver, and Gold Keys
7. (extra) Raise lord of the lands to level 24 and you can equip a double gald boon for the area.
Chilled Tofu in Pendragon gives 75% Gald increase for 75 hit combo. Deep Fried Prawns in Lohgrin gives 75% Gald increase when max damage is 10,000 or more.
Here is a list of dungeons that have warp points near chests. You need to cycle through these dungeons in some order to give time for the chest respawn to trigger.
Remains of Merchior
Tintagel Ruins
Gaferis Ruins
Weylish Ruins
Ganglen Ruins
Arctus Ruins
Optional
Set normins for each area to make this an effective gear grinding method as well.
Visit one of the listed dungeons, open the chests, if a mimic spawns (about 20% spawn rate) First you throw all your drop bottles, then you finish the battle while trying to complete the objective to get the gald multiplier from whatever inn you rested at. You can use down on the right stick to make your allies go defensive if you are worried about them killing him before you finish what you need to do.
Other ways to grind? If you have drop bottles, you can use them against any boss or side boss to get high amounts of gald as well. You can play the Alisha DLC and strictly rush through the bosses only using the drop bottle method to get high amounts of gald.
After obtaining Gald, you can convert it to Grade by buying consumable items from the shop (gels, bottles, etc) and offering them to the lords of the land over and over. It's a slow process, but the fastest over all. Against mimics it's recommended to play simple difficulty so that you can throw bottles faster, against bosses you can opt to play on a higher difficulty with gald bonus if you want.
Getting equipment
This is one of the best methods to collect gear as well. Set your boons specifically for rare treasure and increased drop rate. This means that each chest you open has a high chance of being rare gear and each mimic you defeat will have a high chance of dropping something. This is best done after you are done grinding gald and grade, so you will have all the boons available, but you can still work this into gald grinding, you just won't have as many boons to help out with gear.
Leveling up
The mimic gives a lot of experience. This is actually one of the best way to get to level 200 on NG+ with the grade shop options, imo, especially since you can also grind numerous other important things in the process.
Basically, this process will fullfill 99.9% of your grinding needs in this game.
