Despite the inherently silly nature to most of his appearances, Gilgamesh is one of my favorite bosses in anything ever. I adore the idea of a man so determined to get a bunch of cool swords that he'll jump through dimensions for it
Also apparently grow at least two extra arms AFTER being teased for having four if you consider the FF9 cameo as canon to before meeting Exdeath. (And he clearly has the power to reduce to just two when he wants, so the six arms is a choice.) And I'm pretty sure the intention is that are no non-canon (to his own continuity anyway) Gilgamesh appearances.
Even Gilgamesh didn't appear until well after Final Fantasy was successful. I'd argue no singular character can be such a huge franchise's "face" though Cid and Black Mage come the closest.
Everytime I listen to 13:45, I imagine a Dissidia scenario where Meteor (FFXIV) meets the sad FFXV Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh: "I do not remember you, Warrior of Light... for I have met too many." Meteor: "You may not remember me... but nobody forgets... HIM!" * starts dancing the Manderville * Gilgamesh: "I-... Impossible! This dance... This feeling... Hi-... Hildie?... It's... It's!" * Gilgamesh transforms in its original form * Greg: "IT'S GILGAMESHING TIIIME!!!"
@@rayoflight1920 On the contrary, FFXV's gilgamesh is notably without enkidu. Within the epic of gilgamesh, gilgamesh is utterly distraught at the loss of his dearest friend. In all fairness this is all purely speculation, but it could serve as an explanation to FFXV's darker take on the character
@@rapidfire9999 i played 6 for first time a few months ago, i need some time in between rpg type games. idk which to do next 1-5 wise, 4 seems to be the fans next favorite behind 6, out of the pixel ones
@@Spitfire77077 6 is pretty overwhelming, so can be 3 and 5 due to job systems... I highly recommend playing 1 and 4 for how linear and simple they are.
@KasumiR after playing 4 and 5 since those comment. I think I like them in order 4>5>6. 6 had the best boss but they were all easy enough, I didn't like the grind on 6 and 5 had best jobs but too quirky story imo. Now I just gotta try 1,2,3
Fighting all four of you is just too much for me... *Protect* My stomach is hurting me, you see... *Shell* I'll leave quietly... *Haste* NOT!! HA! I lied! Like a rug! Oh, I kill me!! *Jump*
Battle on the big bridge reborn pales in comparison to battle at the big keep where the music shifts from regular to metal to symbolise the seriousness of the battle through a tonal change, as if to say you may think I'm messing around... But you've killed my buddy Enkidu for the last time
God FF15 is just terrible. Trying to be edgy and emo when Gilgamesh is just a fun comedic boss, fight and atmosphere is should be filled of excitement and some silliness and they tried to make him serious and completely NOT Gilgamesh at all. Even the song sucks. Anyone who tells me FF15 is a good FF can’t prove it to me lol
Right? They could've named him anything but 'Gilgamesh', that boss Gladio fought is just some serious, in a lame way, fighter who got the name Gilgamesh plastered on him and nothing more
You know a theme is good when literally _every_ version of it is good lol
true for this ost lol
it's my ringtone
It helps that Nobuo wrote an absolute banger the first time
@ignisofficialgaming for sure, the guy gave us one of the greatest songs ever and who even knows if he anticipated how popular it would become.
The one with electric guitar suck. I miss the trumpets.
Despite the inherently silly nature to most of his appearances, Gilgamesh is one of my favorite bosses in anything ever. I adore the idea of a man so determined to get a bunch of cool swords that he'll jump through dimensions for it
I like to think it's because Exdeath banished him into the void that he became some kind of wanderer of spacetime
That’s why he’s in 7 now!!

Needs to be updated now.
Man the rebirth version is amazing 😊
@@rickygamerpro when I saw him in the trailer I freaked out. That song was the best part of the game for me!
Would kill for a remake of this game
Gilgamesh is like every gamer's dream to equip every rare weapons in single character.
The Warmaster class in Octopath Traveller lets you do exactly this
@@zetarhythm3503 Gilgamesh was just the first.
I like that FFV’s main theme is mixed in at 3:26.
FFRK gave us so many amazing remixes and medleys and I'm just glad that a few did get recorded in full and can still be found on RUclips.
Part is straight 🔥
FFXV did the same thing with Omega's theme.
"Cloud is the face of final fantasy"
the actual face, at least for people who ACTUALLY play final fantasy:
Exactly
That ain't chaos
Cloud doesn't even make the top 50 characters I think of when I think 'Final Fantasy'
Even Gilgamesh didn't appear until well after Final Fantasy was successful. I'd argue no singular character can be such a huge franchise's "face" though Cid and Black Mage come the closest.
Cloud is only popular because of the Buster Sword.
Girugamesh!
Fine work on this one. Thank You.
Probably one of the best medley of the video, it's stuck in my head
Everytime I listen to 13:45,

Gilgamesh: "I do not remember you, Warrior of Light... for I have met too many."

* Gilgamesh transforms in its original form *
Greg: "IT'S GILGAMESHING TIIIME!!!"
I love Jim. I mean Greg. I mean Yojimbo. No wait! SHIRLEY!
I was wondering when I was going to stumble into this random encounter... But according to science it was at the perfect time
I remember the ff12 fight it was awesome !
„Sword Schimmer“ 🔥
Ff xll give us one of the more strongers Gilgamesh
Now you'll need to add the Stranger of Paradise version 🙌
I know and love this character but 14 forever cemented his name just being Greg to me
Needs a Rebirth update.
This aged well.
We got one and it was fire as hell.
FF XII is my favorite version. You feel the danger and the potential of a final boss in it (even though it's just an optionnal boss).
You guys were 2 Years gone when I subscribed, but you're back, Noice!
Holy SHIT!! i love this compliation so MUCH! ;0;
Great work!!!! THANK YOU
Wow with the FFXV mix it's ascend into another new level.
The multiverse of Gilgamesh-ness.
Time to update it my guy, new Gilgamesh focused DLC means new Battle on thr Big Bridge rendition
Here from rebirth 🎉😊
Final fantasy XV gilgamesh is the epitome of what gilgamesh would be if he stopped fucking around and actually fought.
He would WHOOP OUR ASSES.
Imagine if that Gilgamesh had all six arms, Gladiolus would get his ass whooped in seconds
defo the best incarnation of Gilgamesh to date.
That's not Gilgamesh, and Gilgamesh does whoop asses without the need to be edgy

2:24 i Just noticed that this guy randomly broke the 4th wall
That last one XD epicness!
My favorite theme 😍
A God tier theme on a God tier character!
Need to update this with FF7Rebirth versions.
Could add the Modulation version that appears on Theatrhythm Final Bar Line
13:46 i cant find this version on yt
Still waiting for Greg to return to FF14
We need an updated version of this now that VII rebirth has a version of this song too 😊
I never have and still havn't played FF5, but I did play FF12 last year, and this song became one of my favorite game songs ever, it was so good!!
Then what are you waiting to play FFV?
@@rapidfire9999 i played 6 for first time a few months ago, i need some time in between rpg type games. idk which to do next 1-5 wise, 4 seems to be the fans next favorite behind 6, out of the pixel ones

Ff7 rebirth version is great as well love it
All glory belongs to Greg
Reborn version is PERFECT, not only it's Power Metal, it also has hammond organ leads!
Oh, starting with the 13-2 opening? You really do spoil us!
12, 13-2 and 15 had my favorite versions.
You forgot Dissidia version (same from Type-0).
ITS GILGAMESH MORPHIN TIME!
BARTZ! I'VE FINALLY FOUND YOU!
he...he is everywhere!
Meanwhile Sephiroth is the most popular villain, Gilgamesh has o lot of appearences in different games.
Lol gives me some great Bender vibes since John Dimaggio used to voice Gilgamesh in FFXII-2 DLC
What was the thing you used in the intro?
Also, the last one is marked incorrectly as being FFXIII-2. It's actually Lightning Returns: FFXIII
If you mean the "Yoooo" it's Yojimbo from ff14, who uses his theme in the Gold Saucer
The kazoo version at the end had me laughing.
Fighting all four of you is just too much for me...
*Protect*
My stomach is hurting me, you see...
*Shell*
I'll leave quietly...
*Haste*
NOT!! HA! I lied! Like a rug! Oh, I kill me!!
*Jump*
Time for a remake
It is time to dance like MEN! and WOMEN! And WOMEN WHO DRESS LIKE MEN! For Gilgamesh, it's Melodification time!!!
Battle on the big bridge reborn pales in comparison to battle at the big keep where the music shifts from regular to metal to symbolise the seriousness of the battle through a tonal change, as if to say you may think I'm messing around... But you've killed my buddy Enkidu for the last time
ff 13-2 is my fav gilgamesh theme tbh
and you left the best part out lol :D
That last gilgamesh song is from xiii-3
Local Mongrel Slayer guarding the bridge fr lmao
The best part is there's been at least two new versions since this and are as good if not better than the rest of these
Needs the Black Mages version.
All rise for the national anthem.
The chocobo air hockey song.
Ojala aparezca en final fantasy 16
El único personaje que a aparecido en prácticamente todos los final fantasy es gracioso pero letal también y su nombre es Gilgamesh!!!
Ff vii rebirth has the best version
Not anymore!
God FF15 is just terrible.

Even the song sucks. Anyone who tells me FF15 is a good FF can’t prove it to me lol
Ok but....who asked?
@@Jerorero you just did
Who?
Yeah I’m glad they didn’t mess him up in ff7 rebirth
Right? They could've named him anything but 'Gilgamesh', that boss Gladio fought is just some serious, in a lame way, fighter who got the name Gilgamesh plastered on him and nothing more
XVs version of Gilgamesh is the worst version, period
Actually it never was. You shouldn't hear one song fading into another.
