The Evolution of Final Fantasy [14] Gilgamesh (Part 2)

Part 14 in a series that takes a look at the history of one of the greatest gaming franchises of all time, chronicling the many recurring themes, characters and monsters that have appeared over the years. This entry focuses on the infamous sword hunter that always ends up getting his ass kicked, Gilgamesh (Part 2 of 2). Enjoy!

Notes regarding this video (please read before commenting!):

- For the entire series, I have simply gathered video footage from various sources on YouTube and compiled them together. I've done this only to entertain the many fans of Final Fantasy here on YouTube, so with that said, many thanks to all the folks who took the time to record the game footage.

- Again, for the whole series, I've focused solely on the main games. Remakes and updates of those games are featured, but I've opted to skip games like Tactics, FFX-2 and such. I had to draw the line somewhere to keep a reasonable length.

- Gilgamesh uses a few pseudonyms throughout FFIX, including Alleyway Jack (first clip) and The Four-Armed Man (second). Upon obtaining the Excalibur II, the player can read the note found in the third clip. Gilgy does reveal his true identity at one point, but I was unable to find that footage.

- Couldn't find any video for FFXI, so I used a screenshot and slapped on the Norg theme song for good measure.

- He does a lot of jabbering in FFXII, but since I had a fair amount of time left over, I figured I would compile most of his little cutscenes and cool animations.

they seriously need to make a final fantasy title solely for gilgamesh, detailing his travels through the rift and all other final fantasy worlds. seriously it would be a hit!

[danthruni]

in my opinion yojinbo from ff10 is gilgamesh with just another name

[umkiro]

[iamwarwick]

@danthruni I think with Yojimbo in X, they tried to mix Odin with Gilgamesh :P can kinda see a bit of both in him

@DotaMidKnight123 thumbs up if you think this guess a douche for making a yu gi oh quote on a final fantasy video

[onionknight777]

Should've shown the scene from FFXII where Gilgamesh comes back for his sword. I loved the FFXII gilgamesh fight. :)

@rtuiy9898 More like the Odin of FF10.

@jakedge3 take it to square!

In my opinion, I thought Yojimbo was the equivalent if Gilgamesh in Final Fantasy.
