Party or solo: Party, 8 people
In-game time: not sure
Area and coordinates: Battle on the Big Bridge (trial), 2nd column section
Steps:
1. Gilgamesh hit character with Rocket Punch, giving them the confused debuff and making them run up to and auto-attack targets (in this case Gilgamesh was attacked)
2. Character was healed but debuff was never removed by using Esuna, Leeches or equivalent
3. Gilgamesh never continued attack pattern past dives and whirlwinds until defeat; frog and mini attacks were not used. Confirmed with other party members that this is always the case if a character is left Confused.

I could be wrong, but I think this is not a bug.

It seems to be a design choice.

I wouldn't say that; why add parts to a fight that can simply be avoided entirely? And the whole purpose of the second part of the Gilgamesh fight is to have to deal with the status effects he throws out. It's kinda boring if they can be wholly avoided and it's especially bad for the person who stands there confused.

But whatever we think it's up to the designers. I filed it because it seems like an error but if not then they'll just put it under "working as intended". That's kinda the point of a report.
