While it's learned a bunch of new tricks and gotten rid of that crippling Mini weakness, it's still not very difficult with a well-prepared party. You're now a full four-headed party, and Lich relies on status attacks more than anything, meaning that simple preparations will limit its threat.

LV5 Death will KO anyone with a level that is a multiple of 5. Death will KO a character if it connects. Earthquake and Earth Shake both make appearances as well (they're identical except Earth Shake costs MP). Death Cutter is a physical with a chance at setting Doom. Everything else is just basic status attacks: Stop (Stop), Doom (Doom), and Venom Powder (Venom).

As you can see, if you prepared properly, only 3 (Death Cutter, Death, and Doom) of Lich's 9 attacks will be able to harm you at all, meaning that between the nullified/absorbed attacks and random misses on the status attacks that are able to hurt you, Lich could just as well be trying to throw rocks at a phantom considering all the turns it will waste, and even more so if you Slow it. This gives you plenty of time to snatch up those Steals (Genji Gloves! Black Robe!). Once you're ready to exorcise this demon, just take advantage of its many elemental weaknesses and Demonic nature and it will fall fast. Just be ready to heal any KO's that might crop up because of Doom status and Death. As a side note, stay away from Doomsday if you have it, it will just be absorbed.
