"Battle on the Big Bridge" HM/EX in Future Updates?

Hey guys! So... even before Final Fantasy XIV, I have always been an astronomically huge fan of Gilgamesh.

For those who have never seen Gilgamesh in previous Final Fantasy titles, I highly recommend watching the following videos for some of his most notable appearances:

Final Fantasy V Advance, Gilgamesh Battle #4 in Exdeath's Castle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF3BWwI8QAc

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94WWoIxS_bI

Final Fantasy VIII: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFl9kBvm9JU

Final Fantasy IX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XEYaehJwS4

For those who want a detailed history of where Gilgamesh came from, this video should help a lot:

-----------------------------------------------

In short, with patch 2.2, the Trial "Battle on the Big Bridge" became accessible in Coerthas Central Highlands.

Being my favorite character in the entire Final Fantasy universe, I would absolutely love to not only fight Gilgamesh with four, six, and eight arms, respectively, but I would also love to get my greasy, rare item hunting mitts on that Genji equipment of his!

A harder mode is already a given. On the DF list, his picture is grayed out similar to the easy/hard primals, which get more color per difficulty increase. Also there is already a picture of him with multiple arms wielding multiple weapons that wasn't in the normal fight.

Expect to see this story with Gilgamesh expand with future Hildebrand quest potentially splitting off into his own series of special questlines, though I think they will likely keep him tied to the current Hildebrand quests for now. Not to mention Yoshida already stated that while we've seen Gilgamesh with 2 arms so far we would see him with more (obviously up to his final 8) we will see him again with more arms. I can't remember the exact wording used, but im sure someone would be kind enough to find that video and repost it on the part where he talks about Gilgamesh. Was a relatively newer video in which he was asked about a variety of things involving XIV.

Op forgot FF:Type-0 one

In the yoshi-P interview on the IGN channel on youtube, he mentions that you should "look forward" to Gigamesh gaining more arms. I assume he is saying to look forward to extreme mode. That would be a pretty obvious nod if that is true.

Maybe when we get the next primal... oh... "whatshisname"... the guy with the awesome beard! At that time, I'd bet we might see Gilgamesh EX as well, or soon after. It wouldn't be stretching the imagination that much.

What do you think Gilgamesh Ex will drop though? The obvious thing would be weapons but Levia Ex has that covered... so, I'm at a loss on that question.

Gilgamesh HM or EX should drop Genji inspired armor!

what class uses the morning star weapon? is this a hint on another class, I see a great katana too, there was a big list that the original dev team had for classes that they would add in the future, there was an enforcer that used that, I tried to link it but the web page has been updated and only shows the current classes...

Anticipating the amped up craziness of a hm & ex ^^

agreed gilgamesh is awesome

Isn't he already technically at "hard" level since he requires a full party and is in the trials roulette?

Otherwise, it's easily one of the funnest fights to play and I would love more. One for every extra pair of arms!

Hope so. The battlefield is great and the music is even greater.

we would see in the next Hildibrand episode ^^
