For the game's final final boss, the Deus Ex Machina isn't too bad, it's just more cheap than anything. For one thing it's floating out of reach of most characters, making it difficult to actually stunlock since most characters have a jumping slash/kick/punch/whatever. There are moments when it flops on the ground and is open to getting stunned, though it' still a bit difficult.

It uses all of the top tier magic of each element except light (and dark for some reason), so that means looking out for Ancient Nova, Fearful Storm, Embrace End, Meteor Storm, and Ground Dasher (even though it's not the strongest earth spell). Basically it can dish out a lot of pain in one go.

As for original techs, it abuses a pulse attack and a stream of lasers which both do some good damage, as well as running around the field until he hits everyone in a slower form of Phantom Pain. Later on in the battle it begins to summon a shield that reduces all physical damage to near zero, and it has a mystic arte which is basically chaos on the screen. I couldn't make any sense of the names when I looked at this when I first recorded this, and even after that time it's a "?" to me...

If you know what you're getting into, though, he's manageable. The first time around was an actual loss but it only took another try after keeping up with his spells and managing Annie's ability to quick heal HP and TP. It's a long fight, but I eventually pulled through. Nothing I like better than a good struggle.
