Ok so in FFVIII you have to complete a pretty sweet sidequest to gain the GF Odin. I did it of when I played the game, and knew ahead of time about...

SPOILER below:


...Odin turning into Gilgamesh once you face Seifer at the end of Disc 3. Now I know Gilgamesh is more powerful than Odin, and I would rather have Gilgamesh appearing in battles for me afterwards, but what I wanna know is:

I know there are certain GF's you can only get up until certain times in the game, but can you obtian Odin after the battle with Siefer and then keep Odin afterwards for the rest of the game?

Just a thought that popped into my mind...
 
I don't think you can. Maybe, I never tried it tbh.

I must get round to finishing FF V seeing as Gilgamesh is supposebly the same ones.
 
Yes you can get odin after you beat seifer at the end of disc three. I done it once. So after you beat seifer go to the ruins and get odin. Then you can just use him instead of gilgamesh.
 
If thats true then I'm pissed off cause when i got odin hes showed up alot which is cool but when seifer killed him and I got gilgemesh he never shows up damn him! I'm gonna go re-play it now and do that
 
odin is cool but even if you can get him after you fight seifer he wouldn't do any good (to me anyway) cause you have to go and fight adel next and when i had oden with that battle he didn't help much or with any of the other battles i had when i when thow the timezone to to set rinoa free of the past with adel
 
I didn't know you get Odin after I've just got him on disc 3 now I'm gonna have to go back to disc 2 and use my old save there Gilgamesh is crap for me he mostly just does low damage
 
But even after I got Gilgamesh, he just kept trying to Zantetsuken all the bosses, which, as you know, does not work. Very rarely did I get any of the actual damage attacks.

Honestly, after that Seifer fight, I just ignored it as a GF. It was entertaining when it randomly appeared, but it wasn't useful.
 
You don't actually have to lose Odin, do you?
As long as you complete his sidequest after disc 3.
And I think it is possible, seeing as that it's the only place on the world map that isn't blocked off with that strange barrier in disc 4.

Correct me if I'm wrong though...
 
you are indeed correct, my first time tro FFVIII i did not know of odin's presence in the game, and after discovering it i loaded my game that was at the very very very fricken end, like a corridor away from Ultamacia and went and got him, then about 2 years later i was bored of all my games and decided to replay FFVIII because i love it, the only thing that i hated about replaying it was going thro those god forsaken Propagators again (those alein freaks that are infesting the Ragnerok before you get it) and i recieved odin fairly early this time tho, because i already knew he was there, and when i got to the fight with seifer and he killed it i was pissed, even more pissed than i was when Seph killed Aerith, because after all, Odin is my second favorite character from FF, second only to the great Buhamut


and a little note to those that seem to have issues with summoning him, and those that have him appear constantly... according to most official guide books and other sources throughout the internet, his arival rate is based on Squall's luck stat, the higher it is, the more often he will appear, so if you never cared to use squall, or never cared to up his luck, that may be your issue

I've gotten lucky with Gilgamesh lots of times. Even saved my ass too. ^_^ I don't know which I like best...Odin or Gilgamesh. No doubt in my mind though, Gilgamesh looks cooler of the two.
 
Yeah, they're both cool, but I would rather have odin in my group. For old time's sake. ^_^
 
As I've ventured backa nd played FFV and saw how Gilgamesh first arose in the series, I think I lean more towards a Gilgamesh fan rather than an Odin fan now. Also, FFXII's Gilgamesh was a blast as well.
 
yeah in ff12 it was the most fun battle in the game
i prefer gilgamesh cause he looks cooler
 
Yea, you can do it... and I would. Odin > Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh funnier than Odin. Odin just better than Giglamesh. And what's with you and all the FF8 topics, Busta?
 
Yes, you can. Just don't get Odin until you enter the future in Disc Four. Then go and get him from wherever it is you got it from. Then he won't be Gilgamesh anymore.
