Braig or Xigbar

[Straythe]

Saying Braig is the same as Xigbar is somewhat like saying Xehanort is the same as Xemnas. A heart makes all the difference.

Completely irelevant.

Braig is the same as Xigbar once he grew a heart back.

Xemnas can't be the same since Xehanort had a total mess inside of him. He's special then. (just like Roxas)

But Axel, once he grew a heart back, was identical to Lea.

Braig and Xigbar had the same goals though, but still believe that he wants an keyblade. He also was the one as Xigbar brought in half of the nobodies as organization members. I believe there is still a little bit of Briag left though.

Also, keeps in mind. The X in organization member's names stands for "Xehanort" as we now know. Even if that was Braig, it'd make sense he now fully assume the identity of Xigbar, what with being half-Xehanort.

From what we know from Nomura though, it has mainly to do with "X" for "X-blade", although it can indeed mean both.

Correct way to say it would be they acted the same because both hearts have the same memories (from Braig's former life as a human).

Riku Replica also acted like the real Riku for a time when Naminé implanted the memories inside him. Yet the true Riku Replica (the one different from Riku which also built an own sense of self) was the one seen when he didn't have Riku's memories implanted to see them as his own.

I tend to like Braiganort, myself.

Xigbar may virtually be Braig psychologically, but he's not him physically without Braig's exact heart.

But Axel, once he grew a heart back, was identical to Lea.

Axel grew a second heart before he died in KH2; evident through his emotions he felt throughout Days and KH2.

so let me get this straight. Axel who is CLEARLY Lea ingame become a somebody again and yet Xigbar is still Xigbar and not Braig

that's totally wrong. That's obviously and 100% Braig...

-like it matters anyway. they're the same person

Xigbar ain't Lea. :x

If he's Xigbar, he's probably a dark projection created by YMX, like XH and Xemnas. If he's Braig, then he's a complete being visiting the RoS.

Two completely different scenarios.

^
like Lea?

ik Xigbar isn't Lea obv but i was proving a point

if axel turned into lea then clearly xigbar turned back to braig

that is probably and im damn sure that's Braig. Braig was already half Xehanort before he even turned into a nobody.

 

[Nayru's Love]

Lea is different because we actually saw him in the Realm of Light. There hasn't been a scene with Xigbar/Braig outside of the Realm of Sleep, so the point still stands that he could easily be a projection made by YMX.

 

[Straythe]

All the others came back though, would make two Braig if that's "Xigbar".

The X stands for Xehanort, it is Braig, but since he wants to be part of this, he chose to remain Xigbar.

Whatever the name, it is his "human" form.

Not sure if you're tallking about just in 3D, but we saw Braig a lot in Birth by Sleep, and that took place in the RoL.

 

[rac7d]

Does it matter, they have the same personality, same motive and same abilties. A of now i say they are interchangable, i doubt he cares since he soon will looses all sense of himself

They came back in the Realm of Light. Aside from the scene in the beginning, we don't see Braig/Xigbar in the RoL.

Just 3D.

We can't say for sure that a complete Braig and Xigbar with Xehanort's heart would have the same abilities. They're still different physically, one of the two having Braig's actual heart and having gone through the rebirth process.
