Top 100 video game music: Gilgamesh Theme #22

[passing2010]

I say enough is never enough....until he have his own game in the series. Not sure if that will work though.

[evilpellu]

I like that Gilgamesh is always in between awesome and idiotic. The kind of person who would slip on a banana peel but who could ( a and would ) slay a dragon with a plastic fake sword only to get to a stronger one....

[Scaltt]

Omg I really want Gilgamesh in another Final Fantasy game.

[Matudaman]

@Scaltt Gilgamesh, never enough, always needed, XD

[br3akape]

girugamesh has the most epic way to finish a ex burst in dissidia..... excalipoor to the face

[Cyanakrli]

Gilgamesh should be the star of his own videogame serries!

[TheHellWind84]

I always have loved this song and boss. So much nostalgia--games today just can't compare IMO.

[kerplop]

Ah, feel the salt air and the sea breeze!

WHO'S spoiling such a nice day?

[Kaos360]

GILGAMESH FOR DISSIDIA!

[YHKD]

@Kaos360

You're in luck, dude!

He's here in Dissidia 012! and voiced by Kazuya Nakai

[fnew123]

This song is great, but imo, it isn't as high as #22. Final Fantasy 4's boss music is better imo.

[gamecomedy64]

@fnew123 Well with ff4 boss music. For some reason its just sounds better on culex then the bosses in that game XD

[supergenoseth]

gilgamesh is from the tower of druaga!

[idwellinapathy]

@supergenoseth Gilgamesh is from the Epic of Gilgamesh,which was written a long, long time ago.

[TheOldskool2009]

This Music and Battle Was the SHizzz Nittttt!!!!! I mean it dont Get much More Epic than Gilgamesh and the Battle Music Period!!!!

[MasterOfGalaxies7]

Isn't this song called Clash on the Big Bridge?  :(

[supergenoseth]

@MasterOfGalaxies7 battle on the big bridge

[bings101]

This is pure awesome!

[ragnaroktomorro]

of course man, theres a reason why this song is covered by the Black Mages =)

Besides, its friggin gilgamesh, they got the name from one of the oldest known protagonists.

[darroth42]

enough! now we fight like men!...and ladies. and ladies who dress like men.... BAH enough of this prattle... for gilgamesh... its morphing time!

[Ciamtheman]

I remember just standing on the big bridge just to listen to this music, such a great game with great music.

[OneTrueBelmont]

Can you imagine this tune on Rock Band, sans a voice of course. It wouldn't matter what instrument you play, everyone's wrists would fall off.

[PeterDivine]

In the FF5 version, they made him out as a comic relief.... was that not the case in the original?

I mean, seriously, they had him..... no. No spoilers.

[shios]

reminds me of the fight in wild arms...

[AnoukaKC]

gilgamesh is awesome because he has honor. dude feels bad about galuf dying (!!!) and then he gives bartz and company a hand against the vampire dude while they're slogging through the void.

he's not your regular villain.

[tidusstheme]

Nice!

[Technomusic123]

OH YES 1:04 Hello Butz. I told you hes awesome.

[geraldownsu]

shoulda been 1st imo

[bignuts4555]

dude this shit makes me want to just go into an epic battle with whom ever, it can be my cat,my dog,or a baby! I don't care its awesome and I never even played the game.

[PrinceXTC86]

I like the first 12 seconds of it the most!!!

[OMGANOOBY]

Gilgamesh. He always manages to make me lulz during the games.

[Thewolf00ksa]

final fantasy 5

:)

[famguy292]

"Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! For Gilgamesh...it is morphing time!"

[holypie987]

@famguy292 And men who dress like ladies

*Looks at Kuja*

[Esscex]

GIRUGAMESH!

[RealGenius37]

Get your butts to Sakura-Con!

[diagnosisninja]

Did the Black Mages do a cover of this? I think it's battle on the big bridge. Still, it freakin rocks :D

[TheNamesH]

I don't know why I feel like i should be immature now... I love that song and final fantasy. But HAHAH HIS NAME IS BUTZ!

[RealGenius37]

That's BARTZ!

[TheNamesH]

Lol take a look at :50

[RealGenius37]

Wow, that is messed up.

[someonethere1122]

Translation fail... It should be Bartz

[TheNamesH]

Uhhh.... yeah.. I played a long time ago and remind me this. Can you change your names at the beginning? cause if you can... what an immature person (also Im immature for pointing that out.) thank you if you answer the question

[therpglover1]

this should be number 1

[DoraCatBuu]

Best FF song EVER. Unfortunately, after hearing it, I just wasn't as scared of Gilgamesh as I should've been. Still, totally bitchin' music.

[Gilgamoosh]

Mmm, I love sushi. I love Japan, period! Tea ceremonies. J rock. GIRUGAMESH! I love anime, and manga! AND GAYMEN!DDR? Smile DK!

[thetrepan]

Best. FF. Music. EVAR.

...Except for Aerith's theme.

[wonderwallmusic]

I disagree.

This song is definitely in the top ten for FF music, but Aerith's theme is not better.

[pianomaster24]

I disagree as well. Aeris' Theme is good...it accomplishes what it needs to, establishes her as kind and whatnot. But. It hardly sets the kind of mood this does.

[timcarlsondo]

This is definately top ten for me maybe top five but I like the fast paced music. Aeris' theme is meh for me. My opinion though

[thetrepan]

I guess I suck because I like a piece of music from a more popular FF7 game than this one.

Welcome to Fandom, Ladies and Gents, where Obscurity trumps Quality.

[DRUNKCANADIAN]

And idiots like you fail to realize that what individuals like is a matter of opinion, and that what they define as "quality" or "better" music may be different from yours. So take a nice cup of STFU, and go fuck yourself.

[thetrepan]

"Canadian", perhaps. Drunk, obviously...

I'd tell you to Drink My Piss, but Canadian beer suffices.

[TheResock]

Best. Song. Ever.

[zhevox]

GIRUGAMESH!

[Magik0722]

and gaming!

[geraldownsu]

it should be higher but it's your list

easily one of my favorite songs

[oxXElloXxo]

And now the ff themes are all weirdo sounding.

oh well, i guess i was too used to these. D:.

oh do i wish ff14 is less futuristic fantasy.

[gocrazed1]

14.....god damn...I cant wait until final fantasy 99...

[TakenByMafia]

i thought 13 was gonna be the last :P

[Haseo8]

It better not be.

[BrainDamage769]

I lost track at 12. XD

[xero2zero]

this song and game is really great to hear for old times

[Asteroidblues18]

Ha, It's been a while since I've heard this one. Such a great song. Makes me want to bust out my FF5 again.

[bongchoof]

HIGHER!

[KarateKidX]

CONGRATULATIONS

Your list wins yet again, for having this track

bravo

[KarateKidX]

clash on the big bridge. Most definitely an underrepresented track.

[FushichouNaruto]

Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men!

[gamershark]

whenever i heard this tune i thought "okay lets rawk!!"

[R3DT1D3]

It's sounds okay up until the 0.38 mark. Then it really kicks in to awesome.

[ofarinha]

This theme is awesome, but the The Black Mages version is a masterpiece

[bigjays622]

This song is actually called "Battle on the Big Bridge" and, yes, it is a classic that deserves to be on this list. Another Uematsu masterpiece!

[HackedStats]

"Battle on The Big Bridge" is the remixed track Gilgamesh has in FFXII for both halves of the Hunt. (One battle on the titular Bridge in Lhusu Mines, and then the extremely hard battle in the depths of the Mines.)

[Jangkun28]

I think it's "Clash on the big bridge"

[RPGFreak90]

You have to fight him several times in FF5. He had the best battle music of any boss in the game!

[FinalTrigger5891]

J'ai jamais réussi à finir FF5...je devrais me réessayé.

[Chook1212]

god i loved this song. brings bak memories

[marcusdu1518]

bof celle la

[thiocianate]

... l'une des meilleures de ff qui soit!!!

[Top100GameMusic]

en effet!

[Shadowfax1313]

Awesome pick, i remember this song so well...
