Allster Rose said:I have no idea how you conjured up that the characters were written because of xion. that is defintely pushing it.
Oh, not me. But a lot of people dislike Xion because they had a certain view about the Organization and Days didn't live up to it. So they blame Xion and say her being written into the game is what made the writers write the other characters in this manner.
I was also upset about it being like this, but at the same time something this simple was obviously probable.
I don't find either occurance to be complicated, truth be told. But I prefer that the NEW character (Xion) to be replica and one that went away to boot rather than have an existing character whose story the series is SUPPOSED to be telling to be retconned into being a proxy for someone else
so it's not like BBS retconned anything, it just revealed more that was already planned. Days retconned more scenes than realized and arely did an affect.
If this is his rushed planning vs. planning that took years, I think I prefer his rushed planning. I also prefer him writing the script.
I dont know what that means, ansem reports state the memory transfer between him and sora lasted so short, hardly any made it to roxas. or i misunderstanding what your saying
You REALLY misunderstood. The Memories leaked from Sora to Roxas and from there to Xion. Remove Xion and Sora's Memories remain within Roxas. Nobodies who absorb their Somebodies' Memories become closer to them. Look at the rest of the org. So if Roxas would've been the one with the Memories, he'd be a blonde Sora and act closer to him, most likely. Unless of course we're dealing with the Ven factor which can help explain why Xion considered those Memories to be her own while Roxas seems to have been more of an onlooker and saw the boy in red but that only means Xion's even more necessary for this mess to unfold.
well she does look cute and somewhat adorable, but she didn't have any flaws flaws within personality because there wasn't enough room for her.
I personally don't want flawed characters if they don't get redemption acts. That's the true redemption I find in "redeeming flaws". I don't want broken friendships if they don't get mended. I don't need forced, say-so characters and couples and BFFs. Xion was cute because she was honest and actually cared about Roxas and Axel and did her very best, even if she messed up. Call if a Mary Sue, vomit at the clicheness, whatever. I cherish her for those exact reasons.
What does this have to do with anything? Certain specific theories i made in the past
that many have ignored were dead on. i dont see why this affects our conversation.
To show likely importance on her part. Most people write her off as useless because unlike BBS, she didn't came to explain KH2 - she came to become a possible framework for future installments. And BBS gives her more material to work with.
but that was barely important in days, see that what days does, it only hints the upcoming titles, but doesn't have anything for itself other than explaining dual wielding.
Chain of Memories only "hinted" at upcoming titles. But remove it and you basically remove most of the series as we know it today. It's a game in a freaking series, it's not supposed to be a stand-alone title. To top it all it's one of the three games that they released because they basically finished the story in KH2 with a rather happy ending. They need material and they need it fast.
goldpanner said:You must think Riku is a real idiot, then. To put all of Sora at risk (right after a conversation with Namine in which the danger was clearly stated to him) over one little piece of him. This is what canon says, but I think it is a flaky device made up to drag out Xion's plot, that doesn't do justice to Riku.
We already know Riku had issues facing Sora and the rest of his friends, and not doing whatever it took even for the cause. Ironically, Xion did give him a reason to drag Roxas by the hair - it was either that or Roxas would've gone bye bye. So he dragged Roxas back.
And I don't think he's an idiot. I think he just has a lot of issues and that he didn't want to dirty his hands any more than he did. Sora's basically a saint especially post BBS. "He'd have found another way" must've been going through Riku's head all the time, especially when he looked up and saw the Kairi-Sora hybrid in front of him actually giving him the time of day when he asked her to basically wipe herself from existence.
So no, not an idiot, just a messed up kid who wants to see his friend again but not at the cost of being unworthy of it.
