It is a nice fight but I thought it was quite easy myself.
My FC did it is a group the other day and we solo tanked it, on DRK no less.

What I wish is that "Knights of the Round" were more epic. I guess my expectations are too high from FF7. Imagine if he casted a "Knights of the Round" like that where every single member of the Heavensward attacked you, one after the other in quick succession, not like the 2 or 3 at a time we have now.

It could have been a more difficult fight, but when I look back on previous story-enders, only the original Steps of Faith was probably the hardest one, and it's now been nerfed. Fighting Livia sas Junius and Ultima Weapon were quite easy even back then when i90 was the strongest gear. Maybe you're thinking of Ultima Hard Mode? The story mode was never an issue for anyone, as it is designed to be completed in AF gear and Level 40ish jewelry... I'm sure it's easy by design. I was actually quite surprised of the ease of Leviathan and Ramuh in their story modes. But notice how much the difficulty jumps from their story mode (which is REQUIRED) versus the Extreme mode (which is OPTIONAL) where you really need to be on your toes. Perhaps we can see an Extreme version of this fight when that dumb Bard in Seventh Heaven wants to sing about it, much like he did for Ultima and Savage. Please look forward to it!
