Ok, after countless reloads and attempts, and a bunch of team tweaks, I got the FF7 torment CM. Much love to
Chris
for the inspiration to keep trying! Team I used:

For trash I had Cloud lifesiphon into his original shitty BSB and use the aoe commands, with Vincent helping with Ruinga, while the rest build soulgage. For the boss, Cloud used his BSB1 really just for the self-haste, but for dps he used aeroga strike (always 9999 damage, but single hit). Vincent memento'ed for boost then called Alph RW and chaincasted the cmd1 instant 4hit wind nuke (about 5300x4 per turn). Red and Barret handled breaks, and Barret also entrusted his soulgage to Aeris mid-fight so she could use more of her medica bsb (this was extremely vital to my victory). Aeris did the default silence SB to start, then bsb healed the rest of the fight. Juggling the re-casting of shell after dispel was incredibly tricky with a single healer and no one else with wht4 to carry shell instead, but after practicing the timings, I got it worked out and won.
End of the fight was a nailbiter, with Aeris and Red dead, Cloud out of windblade charges, and Vincent 1 hit away from death. Man what a satisfying victory that was though, hell yeah.
Now the only unbeaten content I have left in the game (that's still available) is the torment CM's for X, V, and II. I have almost zero relics for 2 and 5, so those are a long ways from completion, but I think I have a chance at the X CM, possibly. We'll see next time it returns.
