Clash On The Big Bridge

[Caraway]

Being a pansy that needs 7 other people to fight a character that has been introduced as a duelist that challenges people to a 1 on 1 fight to take their weapons, or being "the one" that breaks the duelist's winning streak and puts an end to his weapon-stealing ways while also proving to be the duelist's equal in skill. Hmmmm.......

Pansy? Really? Wow, that's unnecessary.

That said, looking at a FF historic lore standpoint, Gilgamesh is always fought by a party because he's such a massive challenge (lore wise) even if he's using something as awful as Excalipoor.

Regardless, my point was that forcing you into a solo battle in a MMO is absurd and an example of lazy design decisions. You should have the choice to engage the encounter how you will. Want to fight that easy mob with three people? Sure! You won't get as much XP. Want to fight that huge dragon alone? Sure! You're probably going to die.

It's about choice. And forcing you to solo a fight in an MMO is stupid.

And my point is that he's been presented as a duelist, and would make no sense to have 8 people gang up on him and only prove that you on your own are no match. Mind you, in this case you're also helping Hildibrand since you're the single player character in that storyline, and it would take away from that by making it a group fight.

If he hadn't been presented as a duelist, I'd be okay with it being a group fight against him.

You actually fight him solo in Dissidia Duodecium (But then that is a fighting game with RPG elements so yeah, different genre).

Actually you can have an assist character so it's a 2v2 battle.

Actually it most likely will be either 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 because Gilgamesh can have his pet Enkidu fighting along side him.

2 vs 2 being that we will fight gilgamesh while Hildibrand fights Enkidu.

Knowing how these things tend to play out, Hildibrand will don his Savior of Eorzea gear and help the player character. While I would like to one-on-one Gilgamesh, that might give way to Hildi fighting Gilgamesh and the player character fighting Enkidu.

Not really - in Dissidia Duodecium assists only showed up briefly, did one attack, then disappeared. They were little more than a glorified summon spell of sorts.

And yes, I fully expect SE to include my handle/character's namesake in this - I used to go hunting the Enkidu mob in FFXI simply for that very reason.

Even our last encounter with him was in a party (XIII-2), so yeah. He may "Challenge" someone one on one and considering Yoshi's non-stressful stance I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most pathetic version of gilgamesh ever lol.

You fought him in a party way more than you did one on one unless you did 1 character challenges via hacking or killing everyone off before encounter.

Also, if they don't get John DiMaggio to voice Gilgamesh again, I'll be sad.
