So that means Xion CAN be brought back? Yay!!! I hate people who laughed when Roxas said "Who else with I have ice cream with" >=/
kinda agree, he was born like what a year? he was like a baby, he needed someone to protect him, the other Nobodys do not because they have memories, but Roxas do not have memories duo to Sora beeing a Heartless for a little time
I think partially why some of us disliked it is because of the large contrast between that line and the original Japanese one. In the English version, he completely alienated Axel, his other best friend, and only made himself look even MORE like a Xion fanboy. In the Japanese, he said he wanted all three of them (that's Roxas, Xion, AND Axel) to have ice cream together again.
This is made of pure win. <3
I can see why some would be led to believe that, but I am afraid I am inclined to disagree. From my perspective: Roxas, Xion, and Axel, were all the protagonists, not just Roxas on his lonesome.
And yet it was Xion that got the most screentime, thought, interactions, etc. Axel and Roxas, despite being "the protagonists", lived and breathed Xion. That's all they talked about, thought about, made actions about, worried about. The novels made it even worse. Goldpanner, the one translating the novels for KHInsider, posted some excerpts and they made even some Xion fans gag. I mean, one excerpt was literally nothing but the name "Xion". Another mentioned that the only reason Axel cared for Roxas in KH2 is because he was keeping his promise to Xion. I mean, there was NO way he was doing all that for Roxas because they were BEST FRIENDS. No, it HAD to be because of Xion!
And this crap is written by one of the screenwriters for the friggin Days GAME. >.>
I never once perceived Roxas and Axel to fall under a "supporting cast." I do agree that screen time prevalently revolved around Xion, which would come at the vast discontent of those wishing to delve deeper into the relationship of Roxas and Axel. I can empathize with those who shared these sentiments...though...I felt it was necessary as Xion was a crucial part of Roxas' character development.
Roxas got no development, Xion or otherwise. Once he became friends with Xion, he became a defensive Xion fanboy and stayed that way for the entire game. REAL development would have been treating her fairly, like he treated Axel (you know, HIS FIRST BEST FRIEND?). Hell, as was mentioned earlier, Axel lied about stuff regarding Xion and Roxas TO Roxas. Roxas got pissed at Axel for that and practically disowned him.
Then Xion turns out to have done the same thing (knowing the truth about her's and Roxas' past, and keeping it from Roxas), and she got off scott free. Why? Because it's XION, of course!
There was no development in the game whatsoever. It was basically The Life and Times of Xion through Roxas' pov.
Nonetheless, I appreciate you and Science Vessel elaborating on the Xion hate. So basically: She a useless character that didn't need to exist in the first place, and took screen time away from characters that "actually mattered?"
And TN said, there's more to it than that. Just check the Xion HC, and you'll seen a slew of essays on the subject of why.
