This battle can be extremely long if your team isn't very heavy on the DPS and if you want enemy crystals. These enemies have a lot of stalling and sandbag capabilities. They are not exactly too dangerous, and I didn't find the battle difficult, but I had trouble to capitalize on my own offensive capabilities. Nevertheless, it was worth it because I got some good abilities for Ramza from a crystal at 49:20 and 51:22.
In the regular 1.3 patch, this battle is a lot harder, with many (all?) enemies being Hell Knights, as opposed to just Malak alone.
Now, I didn't realize when playing, but I made one silly mistake during the video. I tried to use Secret fist on a lancer twice. 82%, and it missed both times. However, all the enemies had Angel Rings... which means that the death sentence status effect is absolutely pointless on them, even after the "Initial : Reraise" wore off.
I also made other mistakes. At one point, I thought that it was safe to wake my own characters with Asura (the weakest samurai skill). But on a character with high MA, Magic Attack Up and good compatibility... not such a good idea! But at least it did prevent the Charge+20 that was charged on Ramza... while killing off my own ninja. I definitely made some weird decisions during the course of this battle.
P.S. : Why did one of the enemy archers have Magic Attack Up?
