Doesn't say that the past and future don't exist, but that they are all merged. Also what? What does it not directly saying "you're gonna die" have to do with it being directly stated to drain your life and soul?
I quoted text saying that they don't exist so don't say that. I didn't disagree with the draining.
When it's just the most general of magic, yes and that's how power systems work unless specified.
Then prove it's the most general of magic to the point where everyone should have the same.
It's the same spell but applied differently, several spells like Blizzard and Fire also do this.
Ok, and are we not gonna point out which application each game has or are we just gonna have it portrayed as if it was both at once?
He shows up again in other games, this isn't even the 1st instance of him being a summon
Prove that those are not other universes with their own version of him then. Magic was no more and the world f*cked at the end of 6, 7 it's its own world.
He drained a majority of them already in the facility. All the rest he got in Thamasa were the ones from the sealed gate, he quite literally got a large majority of all espers, only ones he didn't were already magicite and elsewhere like Odin.
He drained like a dozen or more in the facility, not a majority of them as a whole. It comes out of nowhere to claim he got a large majority of all espers.
Gilgamesh is an Esper in XII revenant wings as well and a Pseudo Guardian Force in VIII and references them as well. Being an Esper in VI doesn't mean he's not the same person.
FFXIII seems to clearly be another universe from VI as magic still exists, Espers still exists, and their lore is not the same. Saying that he regenerated is nonsensical.
@Eficiente no the statement literally mentions how they
walk the path of the demon. Demons are constantly being used to reference any and all monsters the characters fight, so the devils road is a description for how the demons’ function too.
Ok to that then.
There's nothing poetic about the past and present being merged when they say this numerous times,
It isn't poetic, I pointed out myself that they were merged. It just doesn't give what you think it gives.
If I claim a million times that I can stop time and then when I do everything just stops aging and only clocks don't move then that's not gonna give people who age there Resistance to (your average) Time Stop.
that doesn’t really tell me anything, their magic twisted space and time and removed concepts, this by default scales to anyone capable of using magic.
Why?
Sounds poetic. A regular human can create fire, that can be said to go against the natural order of things.
Again Law Manip is legit.
There's more than one demon the FF2 cast ran into, they both are capable of possessing others, and they describe it as demonic possession, Occam's Razor would point to them being capable of doing this normally
Ok then.
He appears later on in the series despite you seeing literally every single Magicite erased from existence, and his appearance in the games are canonical. So he regenned from being erased.
How do we know his appearance in the games are canonical
as him being the same being? Because if he's not an Esper in other games then that already tells us that no, he's not the same being.
He took every single Esper's magicite that left their realm, that would at bare minimum give him every single ability the main cast has.
Don't they have it from magicites they find around the world, in other places & thus no the Espers Kefka got?
No, this is the same gilgamesh you see across the series, the Ultimania confirms this being the same gilgamesh that appears in 6 given he shows up there and gets a weapon from the game.
Can you show that from Ultimania?
