1-If you have fought him in any other game, you will learn the hard way that he is tough, if not one of the toughest reccuring bosses in the series.

2-Not to mention (and it IS cannon as seen in Dissidia 012) He has managed to fight and survive against the FF,FFIV,FFV(multiple times),FFVI,FFXII(3times),FFXIII-2,FFXIV(several times) and FF-type0 heroes, and survived each and every time, and even grown stronger. (Compare the V battles with the XII-2 one. The power difference is outstanding.) 1-Gameplay and Story don't always match, you know. And he is a pushover, story-wise everytime, gameplay-wise depending on how good you are.

In FF0 for example, I had an underleveled character and no MP to heal, no reserves left either. I beat him on the first try without getting any damage, since he was predictable and got a Weak Point marker after every attack, making even the weakest hit deal massive damage.

2-.....No, the hell are you talking? He appeared, met Zidane, Squall and I think Vaan. Then he met and fought Bartz, who didn't remember him due to the memory wiping they get every cycle. He got his ass kicked, and ended up back in the rift. That is all his canon participation in the story, happening in one of the previous cycles. Everything besides that is just gameplay and not-canon.

In FF0, it's at times questioned if he's the same Gilgamesh, since he for some reason has amnesia. His fighting style is rather different too, though the theme and armor are similar. It's also unknown if he survived the Mega-devastation Alexander caused, which obliterated the whole Milites forces except for 1 I'lCie and a super-prototype, along with 3/4s of Suzaku's own forces as well, not counting the Class-A I'lCie and the students sacrificed to summon it for a few minutes.

The "getting stronger" part is also not true, as well. It all depends on how good/strong you are when you fight him, and the game itself since every FF game must have a very different combat gameplay that may make things harder or easier than other FF games.
