So, Gilgamesh finally had enough of this expository banter that he never was in the original FF VII and thought it's about time they fight like men and ladies and four legged mammals who dress like Shinra Soldiers?
First, thank you so much for uploading this while I impatiently wait for the soundtrack to be released. Second, give whoever is on the electric guitar a raise. Third, this is a track for an OPTIONAL QUEST LINE. They did not have to go so hard. They went that hard.
@vinny4765 He does switch to his swords part ways in 13-2 and I honestly like 13-2's version more as well but this is my favorite traditional version of the song.
Frenzied Swordsman Eccentric Swordsman Special Steel Armor Great Genji Armor Special Red Cloak Fallacious Giant He goes by my names but only the real ones know him as Gilgamesh. Truly the "Ultimate Illusion" of Final Fantasy.
I'd say not to forget Greg, but since everyone else seems to remember him by that name, how about... Gargle-musher? That nickname from WoFF has always stuck with me for some reason.
Technically it is a bridge, if you look at bigger picture. His island is sort of an interdimentional stage between realities. A bridge. It's existing in both our reality and another reality simultaneously. einstein rosen bridge
And honestly it's totally possible. He even says as he exits that he's coming back for the Warriors of Light. Yea, it could mean the earlier FF games too but XIV is a possibility :D
@@stevenkyle3135 Canonically any appearance of Gilgamesh is the one and the same gilgamesh. He's the one being who can skip series apart from Jack from FF Origins.
@@MAJICB0B you're right, he also was an extremely powerful ally to have in the team(though I remember all of the other foes from Snow's DLC being much more difficult to beat than Gilgamesh, Ultros+ Typhon included).

I'm so glad I didn't watch any of the preview and state of play shit. Seeing Gilgamesh in the first protorelic cutscene had me grinning from ear to ear
Bro, seeing all of these famous weapons from the classic final fantasies and just how they made Gilgamesh feel like the Gilgamesh we love felt such an homage to the franchise in general. I had my mouth open during the entire fight with a giant grin
Even better: It's the same VA ever since his first voiced appearance in Dissidia 012! (FF15 had a different VA, but I honestly think that's a different Gilgamesh entirely that happens to have the same name as the one we all know and love)
I kept disarming him in the first phase, so the fight didn't last that long for me. (Cloud is still a god in this game when you master his punisher mode and know when to dodge unblockable attacks)
@@strahinjagov All Dynamic does is sync the enemies level to yours so you cannot overlevel them, since Gilgamesh is a level 70 fight it's impossible to out-level him anyway
Oh dont worry, We will probably see him soon in FFXIV again soon, the next expansion has an extremely large bridge in need of some battling to be done on it
@@CaptainFalcoyd While I'm sure he'll make another appearence in XIV, that line in specific is a direct reference to the Warriors of Light from FFV, since that's where Gilgamesh originally comes from with Bartz and the party as his og rivals
I was glad to encounter FF5 Gilgamesh, and he has traversed through rifts to recent FF titles such as, _"FF:Strangers of Paradise"_ (DLC) and now, _"FF7: Rebirth_
Strangers of paradise version lacked decent music, the amount of wasted potential on an important recurring character was an injustice, I'm glad whoever did the music for this did an ff14 with it and saved the best for the last fight
They should have name the remix those who fight near the big bridge because I really love the final fantasy 7 battle ost mix with Gilgamesh theme man what a time to be alive
Fun fact: Chadley explains that Gilgamesh Island works as some sort of bridge between multiple dimensions (which is the entire reason Gilgamesh himself was dragged in the FFVII universe). So yeah, this *was* a "Battle on a Big Bridge".
Don't know if he was the first to do it, but an account back when Remake first came out, Puremanny, begun posting the OST tilted with negative adjectives to "prevent copystrikes from Square", which apparently worked for sometime until his channel was completely deleted
Im kind of upset that this challenge is so much higher level than you're supposed to be in the first playthrough, i did EVERYTHING i possibly could with no grind and finish the game at level 50. Because all the challenges were level 65 i literally had to play the game on easy mode to have a chance without spending 20 minutes on every attempt of every boss fight. I have no shame on doing that in order to experience the finale of a quest i was looking forward to and didnt want to grind or play through the game again just so i could see how it ends. but im gonna do my best and try to do it again on hard mode when i have the proper level.
You can beat in first playthrough with out heavy grinding i did it dynamic this fight really requires you to utilize all the mechanics, synergy, abilities, limits, switching characters and you need a good materia loadout too.
@@kei7540 The problem for me wasn't Gilgamesh, but the gimmick dual-summon fights before, that felt unecessary and kind off unfair. Like the Godskin duo in Elden Ring :>
@@kontosenpai8780 those weren't too bad when you got a strategy. The only one I despised was Odin and Alexander that one was super super annoying. Alexander constantly doing stupid AOE attacks and if you don't damage odin enough he kills you

I mean, yeah Alexander is annoying but you can keep track of where most his attacks will land, and Odin is basicaly a timing puzzle.
Probably the best Boss in the whole game. Finally, About time the music in Rebirth was lacking compared to remake, but right here it began to pick up the pace.
You know I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way. Like the OST is still godly but some tracks didn't have that oomph Remake had. Like JENOVA or some of the boss themes like The Turks
@@MisteRRYouTuby Dude, I'm just saying to go play the OG and stop whining about how Rebirth "iSn'T yOuR fInAl FaNtAsY vIi" in every single Rebirth video, what's incorrect about that, hm?
I do not fear the man who uses 1000 Excaliburs 1 time, but the man who uses 1 Excalipoor 1000 times
Literally one or two of Gilgamesh's move uses this philosophy. That and cactuars needles.
@RJrockstars technically he has three moves like that:
Sloppy Swordplay
Shoddy Swordplay
Scrappy Swordplay
Mans went to the Sans Undertale school of dealing "one" damage
Using 1 Excalipoor 1000 times , like the skill "1000 needles" of Cactuar
It's actually 1 Excalipoor 2000 times or 2600 times based on the damage he dealt.
So, Gilgamesh finally had enough of this expository banter that he never was in the original FF VII and thought it's about time they fight like men and ladies and four legged mammals who dress like Shinra Soldiers?
Yes, because for Gilgamesh it was morphin' time!
@@juliogomesdesouza9035 I loved the part where Gilgamesh said "It's morphin' time" and morphed all over those guys.

correction on that last one, its freaking gilgamesh, the mans practically radiates excessive, but in a good way
This theme screams: “You’re about to batlle a deranged multi-limbed interdimensional traveling swordsman… are *YOU* ready?”
Greg may be one silly son of a bitch, but he’s a threat in his own right if not taken seriously.
4:47 I don't know why, but I love this shot of the party.
the characters are also making a staircase with their height xD
@@Quetzalma Lol I fought him in Chapter 13 so I didn't have Cait Sith. Does he say anything if he's in the party?
“THIS IS BUT EXCALIPOOR”

😐
It’s a popular anime gag shot
"Damn bro you got the whole squad laughing"
I think this is the only Gilgamesh where he can use excalipoor and it hits for 1 damage... More than 2000 times in an instant
Nah he uses the same move in XIII-2's Coliseum in the second half of the fight.
Greg be greging.
New best rendition of Battle on the Big Bridge. I just love how FF7R is remixing these classics into Metal Orchestra masterpieces, bangers every time.
ff 13-2´s was far better imo
@@cycle1990 I love 13 for a lot of things but not for Gilgamesh. 13-2 had this traditional track with a gilgamesh wielding guns lmfao

Oh, so this is where Greg went between Endwalker and Dawn Trail.

Oh dont worry, We will probably see him soon in FFXIV again soon, the next expansion has an extremely large bridge in need of some battling to be done on it

Finally, step aside Sephiroth, here comes the true villain of the Final Fantasy multiverse.
I don't know if he's necessarily a "Villain" but moreso an antagonist.
This sounds like a Pokemon battle theme to me for some reason.
Wild GILGAMESH appeared!
They should have name the remix those who fight near the big bridge because I really love the final fantasy 7 battle ost mix with Gilgamesh theme man what a time to be alive
It is time to fight like MEN! and WOMEN! and WOMEN WHO DRESS LIKE MEN!!! For Gilgamesh, its Genji Time!!!
They did not have to go this hard, FOR AN OPTIONAL QUEST LINE! But I’m so glad they did
Well tbh this indeed is NOT battle on the big bridge, this version is called battle near a big bridge
No it's not, that title is another joke about not titling the game osts correctly to not get caught lol
OST says differently
Gilgamesh was such a fun addition to part 2.
Makes me wonder how they'll top him in part 3...
KotR
i think either knights of the round or ruby and emerald weapon
I think ultros will be a secret boss too since his best friend is a summon in og 7
Fun fact:
Chadley explains that Gilgamesh Island works as some sort of bridge between multiple dimensions (which is the entire reason Gilgamesh himself was dragged in the FFVII universe).
So yeah, this *was* a "Battle on a Big Bridge".
Fall to the depths of The Rift!
based team set up
This happened to be my main team through a good chunk of the game too.
Is it one of the best in the game??
Now we just need Hildebrand, Godbert and Enkidu the green chicken.
Good niiiiiiiiight Enkiduuuuuuu.
Godbert is way too powerful for the FF7-verse. He'd crack Meteor in two by flexing in its general direction.
Final Fantasy V... You sure did kill it with that music.
This is not my 'Battle on the Big Bridge', this is but 'Battle NEAR the Big Bridge'!
After playing this song on over 3 different variants on theatrhythm, I thought it was pretty cool hearing it in rebirth.
you go greg
I'm so glad the XIV community have their own name for Gilgamesh so I know who to avoid.
Closest we'll get to an FFV remake
There's no way he came come back to XIV after this. This is way too epic for his comedic act over there.
THE BRIDGE JUST GOT 10 FEET BIGGER
A MASSIVE CHEESY HAM, THAT, IS GILGAMESH.
If I ever have an impromptu fight anyone, this is the music im requesting 🤣
i played last year ff5 love this fanservice :D
Eeey yo hold on that gilgamesh looks sick as hell
That phase 2 goes so damn hard
Battle In the Broad Proximity To the Big Bridge
ITS MORPHIN TIME!
To answer your description, I guess you can say it’s cause this is not a battle on the big bridge :3
Why cant they do boss battles (combat system) like this in a FF MMO?
What about the other Gilga theme from beforehand with the choir?
This is definitely the best definitely cookie recipe ever!
Sorry for the question, but why there's so many people calling these kind of video "This is not" followed by the actual name of the OST?
