Here's a play-by-play if, for whatever reason, you want to attempt this yourself.
0:10 Get Haste on everyone and absorb Ultima, then heal.
0:27 Build chain on both legs, absorb stomp, resume building chain, then one round of Cerberus to maintain chain.
0:58 Enfire/Veil on two characters (Veil is to prevent AI SYN from bothering with it later). Do NOT allow Faithra to be cast (because if you do it'll wear off before the end of the battle).
1:09 Resume building chain, healing when necessary, and another round of Cerberus, again to maintain chain (which should be near stagger for both legs).
1:40 The closest you're going to get to a breather in this fight. Enfire/Veil on the last character. Wait for everyone to get Faithra. Stagger and drop both legs with one Last Resort (they should be severely weakened already from Poison). Just make sure you can survive a stomp, ideally without getting into the red.
2:12 One round of Assassination; hopefully Imperil is up by the end of the turn. Heal until everyone is in the green. Back to Assassination to get everything up.
2:30 Build chain, but delay staggering. Alternate between chaining and LR/Cerberus shifting until stagger. Do NOT interrupt Vanille and especially Fang if you can help it. They do more damage than you pre-stagger, plus they're faster. Once you stagger, do LR/Cerberus, but again, avoid interrupting the girls.
3:51 I've never finished him off before he gets up. Every other time I've done this, he's gotten off a Roar as well. As long as you have more than 13043 HP, you should survive. Just make sure your last round of LR finishes him off.
DISCLAIMER
If you stumbled onto this video and all you want is the Adamant Will trophy/achievement... please do not use this method! Use Vanille instead (look elsewhere). Using Hope is purely a challenge and an exercise.
