While it is the highest in the game, many enemies will get def ignore, so while you try to get guardians or something, they will just get destroyed by attacks that a lord or anima would survive, and that everyone would survive with better mitigation than 25%. Later on, you'll also notice that def buffs are generally just negligible, when fighting the weak units in quest, or fighting units that simply have ridiculously high attack or scripted damage
