The adventure and romanticism of this Final Fantasy is something else

[@truthdsw4895]

@Cyberdemon Mike FF5 is definitely very warm-hearted.

[@Redoura]

Your sacrifice will not be forgotten Gilgamesh.... (Sad in Dissidia Bartz actually forgot XD)

[@TheBanishedWind]

Oh wait, Gil's not dead. He's been sighted even in FF14.

[@FreezyNinjaAlt-hj1mu]

@@TheBanishedWind He died in the void. That's why he keeps getting yanked around by it.

When he faced the other way, you knew Necrophobe was fucked.

[@pharoahman475]

It's why remaking the game in the modern style wont work, many of the most emotional and epic moments work because of the gameplay intergration, look at Galufs death.

[@t.adamcollins2162]

@@pharoahman475 LOL. What does this even mean? The moment Gilgamesh shows up, this is basically a cutscene. Doing a modern remake with this moment would probably be more emotionally impactful.

[@NukeCloudstalker]

​@@t.adamcollins2162 It'd have to be executed mid-combat, in the same manner, in order to have even a fraction of the same significance. There's plenty of mid-combat sequences like this in the game that don't lead to anything but a special action being taken against you (or even just exposition!). There's only a few, reserved moments where the combat rules are broken, and they're due to characters "going rogue" and doing something of immense significance. You cannot possibly get the same feeling that something VERY significant is happening, the rules themselves are being bent by an individual, with just changing to a cutscene. If you look on as a spectator, it may feel like it's the same, but playing through this game for hours on end, then, when tension is the highest, it turns out that the gameplay, story and world are all not just separate systems - but all come together and remind you of what brought you there. This moment carries significance because of Galufs death, which carried significance because: 1. It violated all established rules of health in combat. 2. It established that healing items, spells etc. even the most powerful ones, does not safe someone from actual death (i.e. "dying" in combat is really just fainting / exhaustion) 3. The story arc of Galuf, Gilgamesh, Exdeath and the rest of the party all comes together. You simply cannot have all of that be conveyed, all at once, from one single frame to another, in a modern style of gameplay. Something equally epic, probably. But not like this.

[@pabloleon9884]

​​@@t.adamcollins2162No no. You don't get it. This isn't a cutscene, the battle is still going on. This, along with Galuf fighting after his life counter reached 0 was impactful back then because it turned upside down what we thought an rpg could do. Like the other guy said, it works because its an unexpected integration. It's tied to the game's mechanics. If done in modern times, it'd be *just* a cutscene. This was something else.

[@BlueLightningSky]

Gilgamesh died to give you a save point.

I love how this gigalmesh (the first one) In his sacrifice tell yo the crew how to live and be more happy i mean everytime you encounter whit him you are enemies but gigalmesh has is warrior pride and yeah i love Ff5 cuz it's was my fist ff but i really love Gilgamesh

Technically, Gilgamesh is immortal If he is about to die, he gets sent back to the rift If he dies in the rift, he just undergoes another metamorphose

[@FreezyNinjaAlt-hj1mu]

Pretty much.

[@saisupree6194]

Gilgamesh is still alive.. He mentioned Bartz in Final Fantasy IV After Years.. It means that "After Years" was after Final Fantasy V because Gilgamesh didn't knew Bartz from the start of Final Fantasy V so yeah he is still alive..

[@isgamer-8732]

Final Fantasy 4 is a different world from 5 but he probably was there because of the dimensional rifts looking for rare swords

2:10 one of the greatest moments I had in a video game .. I even totally forgot to steal the Genji armor

[@GrandDadGaming]

When it happened to me, my party was about to die, and he saved the day. I could not believe it.

[@williamdavidm.l6665]

In the GBA version you can defeat Necrophobe before Gilgamesh enters the fight, and even if it is a glitch sort of I don't care. Having such a good character living between dimension in the Final Fantasy series is the coolest thing ever.

[@krele14]

Just don't collect the empty chest in exdeath's castle in world 2 and this cutscene won't play out (including the excalipoor scene)

[@Jaeger86]

Gilgamesh is so awesome. He has 8 arms and hold excalibur in one of them. 8 ARMS.

[@tilkilit]

@@Ntama- I know you are joking but it was named "Excailbur" this took me 1 year to see misspelling and thats why it deals 1 dmg, its replica

This Gilgamesh actually traveled to FF8’s universe and helped Squall and his party in Lunatic Pandora.

[@TheBanishedWind]

And to Eorzea under the alias Yojimbo

My head canon is that after traveling between worlds he finally returns for one last show after everything he has learned and saves Bart'z party as a final goodbye.

[@uzukascarloboshi3829]

Rest in peace Gilgamesh

[@Serxne_]

SPOILER . . . . > He's not dead. He comes back. Go watch "FFVIII Gilgamesh Seifer" videos. You'll see him talk about the "dimensional interval" which was roughly translated from "Dimensional rift," he also says "Ba...?" after walking away from killing Seifer. Loosely, this could be traced back to "Bartz" in the Japanese language. He did get a rare sword in that game, however, it seems he lost it before FFXII. There are unanswered questions of Gilgamesh between VIII and XII, but I feel a lot of people would be confused as to why he has Odin's sword if Odin is still alive.

[@whitex147]

Eric Gibson i think Odin can craft more than one weapon

[@flash4354]

Eric Gibson He wants another duel with Bartz. I just wish we could see that.

[@CaptainZangoose]

There's no reason to belive that the chronological order Gilgamesh appeared in the games is the actual order he visited them in. FF8 Gilgamesh seems like one of the strongest appearances he's had, swatting away Seifer effortlessly, so I'd say he arrived in the FF8 world much later than in the FF12 one, where he's a lot more like he was in FF5.

[@TheBanishedWind]

He's also in FF14 as Yojimbo

[@delgande]

[@spectrasoulfaire215]

Sooo...why exactly does Gilgamesh need to sacrifice himself? The party can remove Necrophobe's barriers on their own and Necrophobe himself is weak to everything according to the wiki. Gil doesn't even show up until Necrophobe's basically on death's door anyway. Senseless sacrifice much?

[@LogeenthLive]

In my perfect world, FFV would've maintained the 5 member party system that was in IV and Bartz wouldn't have to refuse Gilgamesh's offer for help. Would've been so nice to see Gilgamesh go up against his former master in an act of revenge. But really, that's never been his style, so hey, at least he went out IN STYLE. Even if he was brought back, doomed to wander the depths of the Rift for eternity, gathering swords which are practically fakes

damn. you should use steal ability on necrophobe. you will got theaf gloves. it makes you easly to steal the most rare items from the last boss.

Gilgamesh used Self-Destruct...and it did 9,999 HP Damage...but, Bartz and his Party were doing that with their own attacks! I never understood why he had to sacrifice himself. We could have just hit Necrophobe a couple of times with our normal attacks and it would have achieved the same damage.

You must understand the story bro! Necrophobe is supposed to be a very strong enemie, a dangerous one that only Gilgamesh can defeat. Gilgamesh is a hero in FF5.

[@maskedbadass6802]

I wish they had put more effort into his character when he makes cameos in the other games. In FF5 he was a man betrayed by his boss for not being able to defeat you who switches sides in a dramatic way and is actually funny because he roasts people. In all the other games he's just a buffoon who relies on slapstick comedy and overdramatic delivery of lines, but he's not really funny and he doesn't roast anyone anymore.
