Gilgamesh

[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.

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

I can't help but read that as "Gilgamesh slash Ultros", which is many kinds of wrong.

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.

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.

[Anno Domini]

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

amen! i just beat gilgamesh in ffxii and the music blew me away

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

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.

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.
