Finished the game 20 minutes ago. Killed the dragon on my first try with my team of 4, a ranger, a 2-handed knight, Madora and Jahan, all level 22. I think the boss certainly deserves to be the final encounter, but it could also use a little bit of buffing. He should use these monstrous wings of his to move around the battlefield a little and have his minions placing useful status effect on him instead of trying to debuff the party, which by that point probably has almost impenetrable defenses.
The fight took 8 turns. I was slowly wearing down his enormous HP reserves while keeping him frozen most of the time. WIllpower Decrease + Piercing Ice Shard did the job. Also killed the first batch of summons, but after he summoned another batch I decided it was pointless and went for the boss with all my characters. Nullify Resistances also helped to speed this thing up. In the meantime Jahan was spamming Immolation and healing Astarte, getting overwhelmed by dragon's goons all the time.
The problem with this fight was that the dragon simply did not have the means to dish out some serious damage or any damage at all for that matter. Everything except poison was healing my party. With magic resistance being so easy to max out as it is now, I think he needs some non-elemental attacks or ability to place debuffs not affected by saving throws, like breaking armor and such.
