The Twitter post sharing it also noted that he’s looking for someone to face him.

Here’s the official tweet revealing Tetsuya Nomura’s take on Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin‘s Gilgamesh. As a reminder, Nomura served as both a producer and artist for the game.

Gilgamesh first appeared in Final Fantasy V in 1992 as a villain. Since then, he’s appeared in multiple mainline entries and spin-offs. For example, he appears as a Guardian Force in Final Fantasy VIII and showed up as an NPC in Final Fantasy IX and XI. Most recently, he appeared as a racer and rival in Chocobo GP.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, as is its new Wanderer of the Rift DLC. Following the add-on’s release, a transmogrification (transmog) feature also appeared in the game.
