Personally as a fan of V I'd be much more miffed if Neo Exdeath was represented by a fight where everything he does barely tickles you and his mechanics seem incomplete, you already mentioned Kefka in story mode barely feels like a complete fight, why would you want to see Neo and God in a state like that? Just so you can say you fought them?
I mean yeah you fought and beat them good job but they're still bastardised versions of what they could really be, there's no satisfaction in doing a normal mode fight I think.

People often defend easy modes in games because it's a way for you to experience the story without having to deal with unmanageable hours of gameplay, that's fair and all, even if I don't agree, but in this case you're not losing anything by doing normal mode over savage, you're still getting the same exact story with or without the presence of Neo and God.

If anything I'd say they provide an incentive to get better at the game, learn your class and rotation with the goal of one day being able to beat God Kefka for real, because then the fight becomes much more satisfying than if it had simply been handed to you on a silver platter by making it as easy as Lakshmi.
