Why? If you get the best weapons and have made good progress on the sphere grid he goes down in seconds. You have to handicap yourself to make it challenging.

The celestial weapons take a lot of going out of your way to really make them worth it. If you go in there without celestial gear, it's a lot more challenging. Getting them and unlocking their true power also takes several more hours of gameplay to do. During that time, you could just be getting Anima and/or the Magus Sisters; the latter takes about just as long, and they're an auto win button on any non-optional boss.
