FFXIII-2 OST Gilgamesh Theme ( Clash on the Big Bridge )

[@retrohanska4441]

I love that this is the one iteration where they use the most traditional instruments yet this is the one fight where Gilgamesh uses modern firearms.

[@MechaG]

And then he says "never mind, guns are lame"

[@PhrozenFox]

ff12 still best gilg theme

[@archt0r11]

@@PhrozenFox compared to ffv advance ? 😎

[@dangerousdays2052]

Synth bass is the most traditional Japanese instrument.

[@ff8masterc]

VII Rebirth says hi

[@TheChoujinVirus]

"no no no, this isn't working! Firearms are just too boring..I don't even feel like I'm fighting! Close combat, yeah now that's more my style! Now, the true contest begins!!"

[@OriginalSystem37]

He then proceeds to get fucking mauled by a dumb ass Chichu

[@rapidfire9999]

A prelude, if you will.

[@hidersheart5819]

These guns, they let me predict the weather... bullet showers!! and rocket storms!!! LET IT BEGIN

[@tonberry2670]

This is actually a pretty cool interpretation of the theme.

[@meister4597]

1:14 is probably my favorite part. It sounds like he's finally about to take the fight seriously and about to use his best technique.

[@roymarkariosa7615]

fo sure!

[@jedimasterajlee9983]

This is my personal favorite rendition of Gilgamesh’s theme. It gives him a vibe like a wandering samurai- which isn’t that far off, considering his habit of hopping around dimensions and his penchant for swordsmanship. It really took an iconic theme in a cool new direction, and did a dang fine job of it too!

[@randomancrossoverfan]

I just want to know why he’s acting like Deadpool.

[@axceljulio5747]

@@randomancrossoverfan Because he is a 4th wall breaker

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Wandering samurai is more the vibe Gilgamesh wants to give off. However he is basically the final fantasy equivalent of Deadpool. The swordsman with a mouth. So I’m not quite sure it fits with the character. Theme is great all the same though.

[@DeisFortuna]

The whole wandering (idiot) samurai schtick is why I think it would have been PERFECT to bring specifically *THIS* version of Battle on the Big Bridge back in FFXIV: Stormblood for the Kugane Ohashi trial, which does have you fighting Gilgamesh. For the third time in FFXIV.

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

@@DeisFortuna this is literally the theme that least fits his character out of any in the series. This is literally the theme fitting for a character that is the anthesis of what Gilgamesh is. Calm collected and knowledgeable. Gilgamesh on the other hand is a dimension hopping loud mouthed arrogant character that is still quite a powerful swords man but his idiocy holds him back as he ends up getting counterfeits of legendary weapons. That said one that doesn’t do one damage with excalibpur must be extremely powerful. A Gilgamesh theme must be over the top. That’s quite literally the one requirement to be a good rendition of the theme. Rock and orchestral variants have an advantage in this so those versions tend to be the best.

[@ironwolg]

this is my favorite arrangement of this track. it's amazing.

[@figueraone]

It's a brilliant masterpiece, you don't want this fight to end.

[@toufiq309]

even if want i cant cause he got bazillion hp.

[@dragumkirisute1998]

[@juvenalromero6306]

"I may lack of Excalibur... But I ain't lacking options" *Uses guns*

[@Technodreamer]

Favorite version of this theme, no question.

[@Gogmatic]

2:15 clears the ears.

[@ann-marieellis8523]

This theme and gameplay footage make me want to play the game - if the rest of the OST is like this I'm in for a treat

[@carrotpl]

"They let me predict the weather: bullet showers and rocket storms! LET IT BEGIN!"

[@martyatchley7096]

This is my favorite version of the Battle on the Big Bridge i have ever listened to. I couldn't beat him in 13-2, but listening to it was always intense.

[@craigfunk3453]

Yeah...his AI is SMART and aims to lock you down during his most vulnerable moments then just starts nigh endless onslaughts as he nears defeat to forcibly turn the tides. Gotta get that specially bred chichu to take him down FAST

[@Caribbean-Man]

@@craigfunk3453 or just beat him without building his stagger gauge so he doesnt regen his health.

[@moondrop3855]

@@Caribbean-Man and then he goes crazy mode and gains haste and starts using his limit break on you which attacks all 3 of you're characters at once. It's better if you're able to kill him in a stagger as he doesn't get into second phase if you do it quick enough tho it usually takes 2 to 3 staggers.

[@Couchfighter4]

Had to search up this theme after just having tried this battle (I'm hella late, I know :D) The flute bits at 1:15 to 1:45 is gives me the boo boo jeebies, so good. Thanks for the upload!

[@Kumo_2]

Kawai ☺

[@Gogmatic]

This fight is peak final fantasy.

[@shoryuken0x]

That guitar part is fkn sick. Wish they make that part a bit longer!!!

[@tmma1869]

Gilgamesh: There are many tales of valor told throughout the multiverse about my fantastical deeds and unbelievable exploits. I am the traveler of the Rift, a gentleman collector, and legendary blade master. My weapons are mine, and your weapons are mine, too, if you lose against me! I am the special collab guest that everyone's been waiting forever to meet! You... You may call me--- Wol: You're Gilgamesh. XD

[@donb.7390]

Man battling through that tower was entertaining.

[@tmma1869]

Yeeeeeaaaaah. It's my favorite Battle Tower event, got 64 wins and a Prismatic Fractal. Although his strong defense on Break is actually annoying, I enjoyed every cutscene of it (mainly the references on other FF games XD)

[@donb.7390]

tmma1869 Yeah, I barely finished 60. I don't think I can do 61...

[@ahmedzreza]

tmma1869 where's the quote from?

[@muffetmissulena6540]

rezamamed, it's from Möbius: Final Fantasy. Look up Gilgamesh's appearance there on KZbin. It's actually my favorite appearance of Gilgamesh in any Final Fantasy game.

[@Banana-cc5rx]

One of the best iteration of the theme. Very traditional in a Sci fi theme game

[@nanamin07_03]

this and xv's version are my faves

[@NightxKilla]

I love this theme so much, too bad it ends abruptly as Gilgamesh Kills me :(

[@Kirokill1]

Fighting this boss for the first time: HOW MANY TIMES IS HE SUPPOSED TO FULLY REGEN?

[@rahmatumar1156]

He'll keep rengenerate after each stagger. the key is you need to defeat him in 2 stagger. on the 1st stagger you have to keep his health to not go below 4.5 million otherwise he'll activate his glowing mode. and you need to finish him off on 2nd stagger

[@grouch_gaming]

@@rahmatumar1156 exactly, this fight is a test of how well you understand the stagger mechanic.

[@Naturmacht1]

Whoa, this is epic!

[@TheSlammurai]

This one is my favorite just because it has such a different vibe and style compared to the others which are the original but updated. 12's is also a favorite because it's orchestrated and also feels very different.

[@rapidfire9999]

[@thestormyblizzard1357]

Such a HORRIBLY underrated theme from this game. Wish this was released on Spotify, cuz I'd totally listen to this while I slaughter Mongols in Ghost of Tsushima 😭

[@BB-te8tc]

It is on Spotify. Look under Final Fantasy XIII-2 Original Soundtrack Plus (it's a supplementary add-on disc for the soundtrack so its listed as a separate album). It's called "Battle at the Big Bridge - Oriental MIX".

​@@BB-te8tc you're an absolute Lifesaver

[@kintan.f864]

Damn, I'm probably late..waayy too late, but the music sounds like it's a hybrid between samurai warriors battle theme with FF music, still cool tho

it's a crime that this wasn't used in Kugane Ohashi in XIV

Before 15, it was the one that was constantly ragged on for bad characters and story pacing, and you could still make an argument that its story is worse. I've heard the gameplay is pretty alright, though

[@jfiffl7]

Sounds Like PSP soundfront

[@SolstaceWinters]

This music is spot on. I love the interpretation, but seeing Gilgamesh holding guns in the first phase of the fight there makes me feel as dead inside as when that one FF game where Shiva turns into a motorcycle for some dumb reason. I mean, he's called the Greatest Swordsman... >.>

[@TetsuRiken]

I think he was trying new weapons out but found them greatly to his disliking and useless because Close Combat is more his style

[@Nehfarius]

Don't worry, they made HIM feel unsatisfied too. So he switched them out for the tried-and-true swords. :p
