Recently showed my friend @rosycheekedwolly.bsky.social a clip of Gilgamesh accidentally summoning Excalipoor instead of Excalibur. I just love that after multiple FF games, he finally figured out how to use Excalipoor by swinging it 1000 to 2000 times AT ONCE. Death by a thousand paper cuts!

UWAAAGH I love his weapons (and shield)! His naginata, shield, and axe look like they were designed specifically for Gilgamesh, but Excalibur, Excalipoor, and Muramasa seem to be weapons of different origins. My wife and I even came up with a theory that the Muramasa is a cursed sword, and-- (1/2)

--it was only Gilgamesh who was deemed "worthy" enough to wield it. I also love that the banana fan, while not a "sword", was used primarily for offensive and defensive spells. He's not even a mage, and yet his spells were such a pain to deal with unless I had the Elemental materia! xD (2/2)
