Lack of Vaan's FFTA2 shirt in Story Mode makes me sad. So rather than spend several minutes staring at his inferior shirtless form, I decided to switch things up and watch the battle from Feral Chaos's point of view. Everything looks smaller from this vantage point...
Vaan has a lot of great tools for this fight. Several of his switch attacks have guard stagger or crush properties, allowing them to compete with what Feral Chaos has. In EX mode, all of his switch attacks gain even more bonuses; for example, switch Sword & Shield's block priority becomes strong enough to block Vicious.
However, there are a few things you should be aware of if you're using Vaan for this fight. First, some of his switch attacks have pretty long delay. Switch Katana is the big offender here, as it's so slow that you'll rarely ever hit Feral Chaos with it. I can only seem to land it reliably as a punisher for Ventus Ire, which wasn't used in this run. Second, Vaan's switch attacks tend to last a long time. This is no problem if you hit, but if you end up whiffing, then there's a chance that Feral Chaos may wise up and punish you before you can dodge cancel.
While in EX mode Vaan can switch back to being barehanded by pressing R + []. I didn't really make use of this, though, as I wasn't crazy about the delay (it's a lot slower than Cecil's job change) and I was fine alternating between switch Greatsword (most reliable wall rush) and Spear (best damage in EX mode).
Also, Crossbow sucks for a perfect run.
