Gilgamesh Death

[lucastecchio]

@lucastecchio I did this question 2 years ago and yet no one answered me. Strange...

[FinalFailure]

@lucastecchio Gilgamesh doesn't appear if you kill Necrophobe too quickly. I'm not sure, but I think he has to have below 10,000 Hp left for Gilgamesh to appear. So you shouldn't use high damage moves.

I also read that he doesn't appear if you haven't met him in the rift before (although I don't know if it's even possible to avoid that meeting)

He appeared once when I played it, but I couldn't bear the fact that Gilgamesh died, so I reloaded and killed Necrophobe myself.

[lucastecchio]

@FinalFailure Thanks. Still, I remember I had Necrophobe with less than 10000 HP, since one attack I dealt dealing around 2000 damage killed him, and I found Gilgamesh earlier in the Void.

However, yes, it was a quick battle.

[r4shka]

Girugameshu-sama... ='c

[Penquisitor]

He would later appear in FF12 with a counterfeit of every legendary weapon of every game up to that point.

[sporedoutofmymind]

Gilgamesh is the Charlie Sheen of Final Fantasy

[Karryu1995]

it should be like:

*Gilgamesh jumps out of nowhere* Bartz, Lenna cool glasses!

Now im gonna sacrifice myself. bye!

[TFEF2]

AH noes I aw like 'BAAAWW-----' when I first seen this lol

[milkyway030897]

uh.... he didnt die look at dissida and other ff games

[crazmail]

Bartz is blind and he knows gilgamesh is there?

[MsPandoR]

At the beginning of the vid it looks like Bartz and Lenna both .. *put on their sunglasses* YEAH

[Clickykid]

You cannot even hold a birthday candle to the blazing flame of my winning spirit!

[jakedge3]

gilgamesh is most likely the most memorable ff character out there, and the only one to have a recurring appearance in other titles! they really need to make a final fantasy game for that guy!

call it: final fantasy G, the epic of gilgamesh!

[Clickykid]

@jakedge3 yeah but Gilgamesh is from i think it's Syrian mythology and from that it doesn't seem good. However if it's about him and the void then w00t

[Clickykid]

This scene, Nanaki and Seto's scene and Edwards 'death' are the only scenes which make me cry.

[Clickykid]

Faris get's owned

[Foreigninvader]

1 person lost that pure heart.

[SwordSkill2]

Don't worry Gil, you'll get a chance to fight Bartz... 10 and so years later... In Dissidia 012.

[pokemonfer55]

Person who hated this?He never got the Genji parts.....also i wish there was a Genji Sword 8D

[pokemonfer55]

Person who hated this?He never got the Genji parts.....

[SuperShadow316]

Gilgamesh is the man!

[justjoyas]

1 person wants gilgamesh in hell

[LIONELfrance]

Gilgamesh :'(. J'espère qu'il sera aussi noble dans Dissidia 012

[2257turtle]

48 people plus me has gilgamesh in their souls

[Alkahest]

@Astrokloen Very true! I must have been thinking of his appearance in FF9, where he's identified as the Four-Armed Man. (I have to say, 'Alleyway Jack' was a cooler alias by far.) I would edit my original post to say 'Multi-Armed', but alas, Youtube does not permit it.

[SmokingSpoon]

So THAT was what Gilgamesh said. Damn... I didn't understand a single thing 'cause the rom with the translation patch I played did not included the in-combat text translation -___- ... But strangely, during my play through ,gilgamesh didn't die.

[MegaBlargle]

Man, I can't stand Square's fanboys asking for, "A REMAIK OF FF7 BECUZ CLOWD IS SO DARK AND ANGSTY LIEK ME!!!1!"

It's people like them that are holding up the development of an FFV remake so stuff like this is given the graphic awesomeness it needs.

[TheMushroomXIII]

i remember that if you can kill necrophobe quick enough, gilgamesh won't die.

[Smiley100000]

why the fuck won't he stay dead lol

[Aaronboy25]

"And you Faris! You must fall in love, or something. And try acting like a woman if you still know how!"

"Hey..."

LOL.

[EliroX904backup]

I think he was revived after the final battle like the other characters who died, but he was transported to the world of FF8.

[roxasfruit]

necrophope: youll be the first to die

gilgamesh: FCK U LAMO, how many fans U got?

NUN i bet!

necrophpe: o fu-

[Mewizkuit]

its too bad his self destruct was so... anticlimactic

it would have been pretty damn awesome if there were some amazing animation to go with it

[SwordSkill2]

Gilgamesh is the only reason I wanna start FF5...

[Superscoper7]

Manly tears were wept...

[CuCuKM]

Nooooo!!!!

[XxDao05]

T.T :(

[drunkdunmer9]

more like a cutscene

[DarkvindFromIllier]

Gilgamesh... He does not die, he can not die. Why? He's friggin Gilgamesh, he goes from a world to another doing whatever he wants! (Which usually is collecting fake weapons)

[TheSuperbloop]

GILGAMESH DIED FOR YOUR SINS!!!!

[themettking]

This and Galuf are two examples of something every writer should follow:

If a major character HAS to die, make it their crowning moment of awesome. Make it a death we'll never forget.

[Raetekusu]

Gilgamesh was awesome... Galuf was awesome... WHY DO ALL THE AWESOME PEOPLE DIE!?!?!?

Oh, and I did love the scene when they caught Faris in the Inn at Tule also wayyyyy back at the beginning of the game.

[NihilisticToast]

Fuck. Yes.

[AnoukaKC]

and THIS is why gilgamesh is epic.

all hail the once and future king.

[Gilgameshff12]

My thory is that he survived this just like the characters who were killed in the final battle.

And after that he traveled to the other final fantasys and wasn't able to get back to ff5

[dilps]

@Gilgameshff12 Then that must mean he became an inter-dimensional being (summon?), meaning he's able to "explore" any world that he wishes.

[Gilgameshff12]

@dilps yeah, that would pretty much be it, but it seems he cant realy control where to go, becouse he alway got lost in every dimension.

[Envy56789]

@Gilgameshff12 Dude........THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! HOW DID YOU KNOW TWO YEARS PRIOR TO WHEN THAT INFO WAS ACTUALLY RELEASED?!

[Gilgameshff12]

@Envy56789 There was a "solution" given by square enix???

I just guesed what could have happened....

[Envy56789]

@Gilgameshff12 Yep! :) In Dissidia 012, it explains that he was hopping across all of the worlds, searching for Bartz so he could finally fight him again.

[Gilgameshff12]

@Envy56789 Oh yeah, right.

But didnt he said he was just walking trough the void all the time?

[TARDISES]

G-G-Gilgameeeeeeesh...........­:(

[GarlandFraser]

RiP Gilgamesh

1994-2006.

Legend has it that while he spent his time in the void, he visited the other Final Fantasy worlds, so as you see him here, he returns to the void wiser and more considerate towards Bartz and friends he begins his life and ends it in this game, and his other appearances are simply bits of history inbetween.

He also visited our world, as a Babylonian King!

[SieFicken]

lol as the Babylonian King

[Darkgilgameshv5]

don't forget that he was also was a Mesopotanian Hero in our world.(according to mesopotanian legends)

[Saturnstales]

I hate to say it but....the only memorable character in Final Fantasy V was gilgamesh...I wish he had joined the party like he said!

[AnoukaKC]

hi saturn, :) i wouldn't say the only memorable character. Galuf's fight with ex-death was truly excellent, and his final scene was tear-worthy. besides... .there's also the boys catching sight of a wet Faris on that leaky old ship ;)

but i understand your sentiment. dude is deserving of his own gaiden.

[BoItCrank]

GILGAMESH

NEVER FORGET!

[mtkpower]

Bye gilgamesh :(

[marvellousmadser]

Why are they all dressed in green and have horns?

[Car0den]

Summoner job class.

[GameFreak392]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOO!!!!We'll miss you Gilgy!

[lucastecchio]

Can someone tell me why Gilgamesh didn´t kill himself in my game? I´ve finished all of Necrofobia(SNES) HP all by alone.

[TARDISES]

no idea.

[sorasnobodiexiii]

GIRUGAMESH

[firetapia]

:( Gilgamesh is my favourite Final Fantasy enemy

[Webwaft]

I'm torn; on the one hand, I sort of want him to still be alive (in terms of the FF universe, that is) and that certainly seems to be the case... but on the other, this is the perfect finale to the best recurring villain in videogame history (in my opinion, anyway)

Also, MANLY TEARS ;_;

[Muffinfordinner]

NEVAR FORGET

[BaxterXenon]

@Muffinfordinner September, 11, 2000. The day Gilgamesh sacrificed himself for us. It was my 9/11 =c. R.I.P Gilgamesh.

[onvicco]

question to the person who made this vid...how did u get finisher before this fight?

[onvicco]

isn't finisher a gladiator move?  idk. i forget.

[DaManKC]

To bad Gilgamseh didn't have a bigger cameo in IX...

Oh well it was still cool that he was in it.

Oh, and my thanks goes out to the uploader, this video drove me to play FFV several months ago.

RIP Gilgamesh!

[Rynorocket]

I wonder HOW you get him to appear there. He disappeared after I found him at the first area :x

[StreicherIsTheKing]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Rest in Peace my friend :(

[greentrigger]

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ;( He was the best boss ever...

[Darkgilgameshv5]

gilgamesh!!You shouldn't have self destructed! i wanted you to join my party and kill exdeath(would of been real kool)

[apocalypsechickens]

poor gilgamesh... :'(

[Kynero00]

Not only Basch lives....

Gilgamesh lives too!!!

[Razasonic]

i wish the text on ff games movd faster

[Vulfynn]

Hey, why are you talking about Gilgamesh as a dead guy? HA! He's just as alive as I am or you, hehe. Just check the other's posts and use Youtube to find videos, and you'll see what need to be seen.

[TigerYoshiki]

I always wanted to drink sake with Gilgamesh.

[paladn95]

Too bad. Gilgamesh is pretty cool.

[Nikolito]

"You cannot even hold a birthday candle" XD

[ThEdUdEzRo]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Kaixero]

Gilgamesh...truly...all-around awesome. No more needs to be said.

And, he didn't really die. The explosion ripped a hole in the dimensions, sucking him into another FF. He lives on to hunt legendary swords from every universe!

[totalus95]

but, we don't know the order of the Final Fantasy timeline, maybe this is the last game in the timeline and he died...:'(

[spikedwallman]

true, there wasnt much machinary in 12, yet it was abundant in 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6.

[Retrofiuter]

There are different planets in different dimensions actually

[ValenAlvern]

This maybe be a year to late, but he said Universes not Galaxies. So you don't need to know the timelines since they all exist at the same time, not different ones.

[mikerowland12]

its funny but if you play 12 you will notice he has buster sword, and brotherhood(tidus' sword in ff10.)and the excaliber steiner uses in ff9.

[Peshkatz]

he also has a gunblade from VIII

[spikedwallman]

basically, he has to have survived the entire time, or he wouldn't have all of those swords. also, the buster sword is a replica, it says so in the kanji on it.

[StoneSkinGilgamesh]

spikedwallman: He could've painted the kanji on the buster sword so no-one would steal it, thinking it was a fake when it's actually real 0.o...

[spikedwallman]

if so then it diminished in size considerably over the years.

[StoneSkinGilgamesh]

*compares the sizes of the two* ...You sure it doesn't just LOOK smaller due to Gilgamesh being so much larger than Cloud to begin with? Well, I was just putting a what-if out there anyhow, I don't think Gilgamesh would really rob anyone of their most prized possessions (he may act like a jerk sometimes, but that doesn't mean he IS one)

[Track14]

you could infer that was the last dimension he went to since squaresoft decided to add him in each game thereafter

[evilanimemonkey]

umm not vi or vii... right?

[atmawpn89]

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT

[lionheart1531]

Haha, Gilg is so god-damn chessy, alhough hes still mega bad-ass. I dont remember this scene though, i thought he bit the big 1 after excalipur

[TheMadLiteralist]

After excalipur he got X-pwned.

[ElDoucho]

What the fuck is this crap?

[PandoraPrometheus]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Gilgamesh is just pwnage... I'm sad he dies...

But as we all know, he isn't really dead. VIII and XII anyone? :D

*protect*

*shell*

*haste*

*FLEE*

[lolkey]

and IX :p

[Hammerman24]

"Oof AYEEEEEE!!" :D

[sephidos]

and vi :P

[F1N41F4N745Y]

Damn, just cried...

[wiseman564]

he dies!!!?? ... thats utterly depressing hes my fav charactor

[lchang005]

wasent glagamish in the FFI psp version

[mizzmikizzle]

shit that was my favorite guy....

[L3ke9999]

I love his speech!

[nightsora]

didn's Gilgy first Appear in the first FF in the Lifespring Grotto, but didnt talk as much as this game. Long Live Gilgamesh!

[Cykoe17]

In the rehash of FF1 he did. But that was one of the extra dungeons that included bosses from the other games (before origins).

[Cylanthegreat]

I cried the first time I saw this scene. There is a part of the music that perfectly fits the scene.

[77gilgamesh77]

Hey gilgamesh has EIGHT arms! RIP gilgamesh the great

[sephirothvscloud666]

noooooooooo gilgy!!!

[Alkahest]

Ah, but as any true Gilgamesh fan knows, this was but the start of a long and fabulous career for our favorite four-armed bungler. (His triumphant arrival in FF8 even referred back to this very incident, albeit vaguely.)

I raise a non-alcholic, fruit flavored beverage in your honor, good sir Gilgamesh! Until next we meet in battle.

[MrGimli2]

@Alkahest why no alchohol? =.(

[Alkahest]

@MrGimli2 I had hoped my choice in beverages might sound almost as zany as Gilgamesh himself. People are free to toast him however they like, though. Though hopefully not with anything in the Fire/Flare magic family... ;)

[Fjgamer]

Lol they got sunglasses ( i know they got blinded)

[Metaknight86]

Gilgamesh is soo cool this scene is sooo sad

[A2nSensati0n]

You didn't steal the last Genji equipment, that's the real sad part... =/

[fgsgds]

What is FFVA?!

[Kafei464]

Final Fantasy V (five) Advance. It's for the gba

[Ekshtrim]

FAP FAP FAP

[Hnue]

I love Gilgamesh. It was so sad when he died. =[
