Well... the fact that he has 3 extra attacks doesn't really make him better since Excalipoor is awful, Excalibur is pretty crappy and Massamune is half-assed. It's Zantetsuken that makes him useful.Originally Posted by boys from the dwarf

Does anybody know the religious history of Odin and/or Gilgamesh?!?! Honsetly! i think im the only one here in this thread. And if anyone else *does*, well then, hats off to them...
And Gilgy is cooler
Of all the games that i find well worth the work, I can only say that three can properly qualify for the category. And of the three, one is, but of corse, FFVII. The other twon games which i couldn't depart from are Xenogears and FFT. And i also found a pattern, All of which were released 1997 or 1998 and were on PS. I have lost some faith in Squaresoft when they merged with Enix, they no longer adapt a well-thought plot as nearly as much as the older titles. And thus, I say to you Square-Enix, "Up yours!"
Do you mean that Odin is the highest god of the Scandinavian Pantheon? Or do you mean a further folkloric story?
Save the eight-legged horse, I think Odin's in FFVIII is not much as the mythology described him..
I think Gilgamesh was Persian (myth)?

not neccessarily Persian pe-se, but middle eastern, yes. He was a human king who loved adventure, and the goddess Ishtar herrself was taken with his beauty. After he refused her advances, she sent him the savage bull of heaven to rampage acros his kingdom. Aided by his friend Enkidu, Gilgamesh slew the bull, so Ishtar kjilled Enkidu. Terrified my mortality, he sought Utanapishtim (Near-East Noah, which predates 1000 years) to discover the secret of immortality. He was to find the plant Never Grow Old at the bottom of the ocean. He found it, but while resting, a snake ate the leaves, and Gilgamesh's only chance at immortality was lost.
Now i only looked into my encyclopedia for names strictly, buit i have the gist memorized. But thats just me.
And Odin, whose Norse name is Woden, is leader of the hall of Asgard who is the father of Thor, gave his left eye for info about the Ragnarok, in which he dies. Father of Thor (Who is actually a red-head). The Ragnarok: A wolf will swallow the sun. An earthquake will shatter Fenrir's chains. The world serpent Jormungard will spew out poisonous fumes and cause a tidal wave, etc. blah blah blah, and ill be minoring in Mythology in college, yes i know.....

Agreed. Unless you really take your time fighting battles, Gilgamesh doesn't show up anywhere near as often as Odin. Add to that the fact that 3/4 of his moves are practically useless (They are only about as good as your normal attacks, except that they hit all enemies), and I think that Gilgamesh sucks. In all the times I have played this game (and, since it is my favorite FF, I play it lots), I have only had him show up twice other than the first time when Seifer lays the smack down on Odin.Originally Posted by rubah
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
Yea, and when he does appear its against rubbish enemies that you could knock over with a feather

Oh look a bite bug, one move should kill it!

I never had Gilgamesh in any of my boss battles i dont think...He only seemed to help me on those little insects that are ridiculously weak i dont know why Squal even bothers using his sword.
I thought Odin looked better, but i was thankful i got anything after Seifer cut him in half....
my grandmothers been walking 6 miles a day since she was 63. Now, at the age of 90 shes as fit as an ox....unfortunatly we dont know where she is...
Are you one of those people who never have enough space on their computer? Do what i did-delete windows!!!!
that could of happened with odin this is why gilgmesh is better.he has 3 more attacks so he isnt useless aginst bosses if he uses one of them also he has zantensuken plus hes gilgamesh that loveable little asshole from FF5 how can you not like him.sure odins in more of them and i like him more but his horse sleipner has 6 legs well gilgamesh has six arms but still odins been in about every FF so hes a classic like shiva,bahamut so it impossible not to like them realy.Originally Posted by The Anarchy Angel

Ill definately give yuo that Odin is more useful, but Gilgamesh is cooler.
63% of statistics are made up on the spot.
did i ,iss somthing here... i thought the title was Gilgamesh Vs. Omega Weapon... i personally think that Omega weapon would kick Gilgamesh's ass but thats jus me...
BTW i think Odin was a much better GF as the 3 attacks Gilgy did add on to Odins sucked and not once did i see him come out during any fight... ODIN PAWNS ALL
