Thanks. 

Without spoiling it, does the final boss require a specific strategy or have any troublesome gimmicks I should know about going in?

No, but you should cain-attack it as soon as you can. Otherwise it could give you problems with reinforcements, which are what can make the fight a little harder. The final boss also has a one-shot sort of attack, but you can evade it if you use a chain attack, complete a Blade Combo or use a level IV Special. Also, if you use critical healing it becomes way easier. 

The reinforcements can be avoided by putting a dark orb on him.  Water > Water > Dark is a quick easy way to put that up.
