Ok this has completely blown my mind. I'm not sure which level you need to be to complete Gilgamesh 2nd encounter on FFXII, but my mum just did it at level 55!!! Now I read in the book that Gilgamesh himself is at level 70 in the 2nd encounter, and yet even with minimal gambits my mum made it look like a piece of cake...
What am I missing here??? Is it a more simple enemy than the book states, or is my mum just sooooo much better than me at games??!? Hahaha damn you woman!!!!

. . . . . . . . . . .i know that ff12 has been around for some time now, and i know this isnt your fault and probably mine. . .but. . .can you (and any1 else) please type SPOILER before you say anything about an ff game?. . .*sigh*. . .nevermind. . .
i really didnt read the post, cuz as soon as i read "gilgamesh" and "ff12" i stopped, but whatever happened, if it was good, congrats. . .if it wasnt. . .ouch. . .
Wow, how did she do that?! I remember Gilgamesh just absolutely slaughtered me. It took every bit of speed and strength I had (and some tricky gambit restructering) to bring him down, and my characters were over level 60. You're mom's characters must have some pretty nifty stats.
oh yeah, and the spoiler alert is a good idea

Dearly noted. To be honest it's been so long since we've actually discussed any of this that I forget about spoiler courtesy
As to how she did it, I still can't believe it myself!!
Content Hidden!
Strangely she never bothered to invest in any other healing gambits, therefore she had one or two her characters casting Curaja at HP>70% constantly (by level 55 it doesn't drain the MP so fast because there's more of it and she had her lower MP cost licenses). She started by taking out Enkidu, which to me looked harder than Gilgamesh himself, using Scathe and attacks. She never had a gambit set up for the Arise spell either, she just interrupted their commands if someone died.
I think the thing that really ensured her success in the end was not so much how high her level was, but what her level was. She was level 55 with Basch, Ashe and Penelo, and level 54 with Vaan, Balthier and Fran. She started the battle using the level 54 characters, and Gilgamesh kept casting Break, Stop, Disable etc and it did look like the battle could be over. But then I realised that Gilgamesh's moves were based on levels eg. level4 break, level 3 disable, something like that, which basically affects anyone with a level a multiple of that number (a lot of those moves appear in FFVII ^^) so I told her to swap in her level 55 characters, and the spells stopped working- my mum had a free shot at him!
So it all came down to avoiding those level type spells, and Monarch Sword only kills off one character at a time so it's easy to arise them.

Haha just my mum Revenant. My dad doesn't live with us, but he used to watch us play games when we were little and we would go to visit his house. He never joined it, it seemed too complicated for him!
But my mum's a big gamer, she loves to play. She got me playing Tomb Raider and Silent Hill, and we've played a lot of the FF games together. Good times

Oh yes, I forgot about the LVL-sensitive spells, that is a great strategy.
Oh and in regards to spoiler alerts, I don't think this really applies to FFXII-related threads, the game has been out for ages. I do realize that there are many people out there who still havn't played it, but is it really necessary to write Spoiler Alert on everything? Or can we just keep that kind of warnings to the new stuff (such as XIII, XIIIVS, and KH3 material)?

You are happy, Miss Lockheart
