Yesterday(Sunday)I started to play FF XII for the first time in a month. I did a couple of hunts and bought some Bubble belts. Then I went on to face Gilgamesh(2nd battle). I felt pretty confident that I could beat him since I equipped all my characters with bubble belts(he completely murdered me the first 3 times before I bought the belts). As I entered the battle, I was doing pretty well against Enkidu, but then I realized something. I only had 5 Phoenix Downs! O_o Usually in tough battles like these, I usually like to come in with at least 30. So I quickly used them all up. So I ended switching up between Ashe and Penelo so they can use Arise(they are my two main healers). And you know how powerful Gilgamesh with with his Bitter End and Monarch Sword attacks. They usually annihilate a person even with a Bubble belt. But it seems that Gilgamesh never uses these abilities on my healers. So I ended up beating him in the end. Pretty lucky, no? O_o


Oh, and btw, although this was somewhat a tough fight, this was the most funnest battle I've ever played in:)

He was easy but annoying. What was the sword he took back in the end? Is that an allusion that I'm not aware of?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Sword is from the Dragon Quest series

Yes: it is Loto's (Erdrick's) sword.

Which Dragon quest is that? And why the heck did they put Dragon quest in an FF!? They've never done something like this from one of their other games.

Loto (Erdrick) came from the fist 3 Dragon Quest games (which were still called Dragon Warrior in the states until their respective Gameboy remakes). Another romanization is Roto instead of Loto.

Erdrick, Roto, and Loto are all the same hero/title.


And in all actuality, Erdrick was referenced in the original Final Fantasy. There is a tomb that reads here lies Erdrick in a town. When Final Fantasy shipped to the US, it instead read "Here lies Link".

So it's not the first time Dragon Quest (or Erdrick specifically) was referenced in FF.

Aye, full of Absteels and some tough skeletons plus a murdering tresure bug if you take the wrong path. And Gilgamesh is much tougher the second time.

You will need a key iirc

Gilgamesh's defense gets up really high when he's in cr...
I took the easy way, decoy + reverse on Vaan. lol :P

It's funny when you look at the sword after the battle "It's just an ordinary Sword of Legend". how ordinary is it anyway? :P

I found this game to be easy. The strategy guide would stress about that and that, when in the end, it wasnt really a big deal. I beat the end boss in one try, and only died twice throught the game,,,

Did you try the optional bosses like Hell Wyrm or Omega Mk.XII? :P
