Gilgamesh

[Vermachtnis]

The coolest NPC of all time needs his own topic. He has the best tracks from FFV and he has the best lines.

[Flying Mullet]

He is entertaining. I think a Gilgamesh/Ultros cartoon would be awesome. :yellowkin

[Shin Gouken]

omg i love gilgamesh he is the best ever i just love him so much he is so awesome and cool and and super amazing and i think he is great

[Hazzard]

I would marry that NPC ten times over.

[Marshall Banana]

He'll be a great cat one day!

[Crossblades]

Gilgamesh is just plain awesome. He should have his own video game:)

[Heath]

My favourite villain from FFV certainly. I found the boss battles against him to be among the most fun in the game and you really can't argue with the music. He had the right balance of silliness and seriousness to make him a really effective and likeable character.

[Sefie1999AD]

Gilgamesh is one of the best side villains I've seen, and his theme music is awesome.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

"We will now fight like men! And ladies! And ladies that dress like men!"

I'd be lying if I didn't call that the best quote in the entire game.

[Vivisteiner]

^lmfao

Ive gotta play FFV. Gilgamesh is awesome.

Haha! I don't remember that line from FFV. Is it something said in the GBA version, and where is it said?

GBA version, battle with Gilgamesh in Exdeath's castle. But he had a whole load of lines in the GBA version that just crack you up.

That could just quite possibly top Nuumamonjaa. Yes, indeed, I think it would.

[Creeping Shadow]

He's always been one of my favorite final fantasy characters (definitly in final fantasy 8) and will be for a long time. Square enix should bring him back in a future final fantasy game or at least put him in that final fantasy fighting game for the psp (I dont remember the name of it).

[Roto13]

Someone get to work on a Gilgamesh/Ultros Odd Couple-style comic.

[The Ceej]

his theme music is awesome.

Best boss battle battle music period in a Final Fantasy game.

[CelestialStarDust]

i LOVE his theme music.and i cant believe his lines.

[Roogle]

I think that his demise in Final Fantasy V was a clever way of keeping him around, at least in spirit, through the course of other Final Fantasy games.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

He dies with utmost finality, though.

[Roogle]

But, he disappears into an unknown abyss. It is analogous to a cartoon villain that falls off a cliff into the ravine.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

But, he disappears into an unknown abyss. It is analogous to a cartoon villain that falls off a cliff into the ravine.That's not his last appearance in the game. In the battle against Necrophobia, he says his good-byes to Butz and company, then blows himself up and dies.

[Necronopticous]

Cid survived it.

[Big D]

FFVIII suggests that Gilgamesh lingered in the Void somehow... do we know if his cameo in that game is considered canonical? Does it even matter?

[Flying Mullet]

Cid survived it.
Gilgamesh doesn't have the beard.

Oh, that is correct. I always thought that the developers were using the cameos as a recurring theme because that particular villain was thrown into a dimensional rift leaving room for all sorts of misadventures.

You can argue that the developers justify his numerous cameos by saying that a dimensional rift ignores time and space, so you can look at it like that — but, I do not think it matters in the long run.

Ah but what if you're at a high level and defeat the boss before Gilgamesh comes along? He won't die then!

[Roogle]

Yes, but the same can be said about anything that happens throughout the course of the game. We are speaking from a canonical point of view.

[Forsaken Lover]

So, is it the same Gilgamesh in FFVIII?
I know it's not the same one in FFXII but most seem to agree FFV/FFVIII G is the same person.
I think it was Seifer and Odin's battle that let him in. THat slash of light is like a rip in reality or something.

That actually happened to me the first time I played through, due to the magic of Dual Wield and Rapid Fire. I didn't even know he was s'posed to show up, and had to look it up later.

[Morningstar]

"Battle with Gilgamesh" was the best battle music in ANY FF, imho.

[FFVIFan]

I support that! I think that maybe Gilgamesh and that guy you fight in the train (that looks like him) are somehow related. Anyways, Gilgamesh is cool and all and he even gave his life to kill Necrophhobia.
