Odin is a GF. He’s a guy from norse Mythology if you want to know his ‘true’ origin.
Gilgamesh is from another FF game, although I forgot from which one and basically he was trapped into some alternate dimension during the game.
and with Seifer killing him as the hero he is o.o it triggered opening a dimensional portal from which Giglamesh could be set free, and he shows his thanks by replacing Odin, not only with ‘Zantetsuken’ but also with 3 other swords 😀
Does that help you?
Gilgamesh is from FF5. He got thrown into the Cleft of Dimension by Exdeath, but now he’s back in FF8.
Excalipoor was his original weapon.
Excalibur is from FF6.
Masamune is Sephiroth’s weapon from FF7,
And Zantetsuken is Odin’s sword in FF8.
Now that he had the fourth sword, he could come back from the dimensional rift. He attacked Seifer because he was the one who gave him the fourth sword, and so wanted to see if he was a worthy opponent. Or something. 😉
ahh, it was a great turn, i liked it, heh
yeah i read somewhere, that gilgeshmesh, from a previous ff, got trapped in some dimension, because he used "excalipoor" a very weak sword o_O
