Please understand that I actually like Xigbar as a character but I just find Chi...meh at best. Having said that, when I saw the post credit scene for 3 and the reveal of Xigbar being Luxu...I wasn’t really that impressed. Shocked? Yes. Impressed? Not really.
If we count Briag, we fought Xigbar (and Luxu to a extent) four times during the entire saga. Each time we did win, regardless if the cutscenes says “oh it was just stalling”. Now, with him lined up as the next main villain, I just can’t take it seriously since it’d just be another boss against him. Now while you can argue he was holding back and not using his full strength (that is a very good argument, I will concede), it doesn’t change the fact gang we already fought this guy before; we even “killed” him in 2.
Adding to this, it diminishes Xehanort even more by making him a mere pawn.
Now, maybe I’m utterly wrong. Maybe they can make Xigbar/Luxu more of a threat. But I’m just stating my opinion here.
What does anyone else feel about the reveal?
