Teaser of the next FFXIV Race[Spoilers]

[Duelle]

To be fair, we are talking about Hildibrand here.

The player character is stand-alone in the Hildibrand quests. I don't see why the fight with Gilgamesh would be any different. If Gilgamesh had been introduced as someone who assaults groups of warriors and steals their weapons, then we can justify it as a group fight.

Instead he's doing one-on-one duels and winning. It'd make sense for the player character put an end to Gilgamesh's winning streak one-on-one.
