Both

i agree with ott

Her death should have stayed a tragic death tbh lol I didn't want her to come back in the beginning. But, I had to accept it XDDDD (I mean she was pretty cute hanging with Namine at the beach)

Xion shouldve tayed dead

My issue is more this. Xion was created to die

That's all her character was for

Before Days, she was never mentioned

No, she was creatted to be a replacement, in the story..

And then she was created to die so we can feel something for Roxas

I don't mean in-story

I mean from the way the story was built

And her death/departure is the same as Roxas'.. both got unfair and raw deals

And both had a right to simply "be"

but niether ever got to have that

There was such demand for her strife and the others w/in Sora to be resolved from the Naminé's message in Jiminy's journal from Re: Coded that stated.

Their pain will be mended when you return to end it.

Much from popular fan demand

Thank you, Incen.. there was demand for her return, because her fate was so tragic and unfair to begin with, leastt I'd imagine that's why..

There is even an interview around where Nomura said he didn't think of Xion until he made Days, and he knew she was going to die there

how did roxas return btw?

Yeah, and that's fine, Otti..

Replica...

But that doesn't mean she can't return or anything, and even in Days, she doesn't outright "die"..

right but where did his heart come from

She simply returns to Sora

Because her heart, was basically made with a memory that Sora held dearest

From Sora, with some help from data shenanigans from RG crew

B/c how Xion and Roxas got shafted and how they built up the Seasalt trio just to end her after one game. Xion was still a fragmented memory in Sora as shown in the ending of Re: Coded and Sora DDD nightmare visions.

Typing this out now, seems like my issue with Xion is how her character came to be rather than her character herself

Which is why I can't like her at all

I guess I'll go stan Xion elsewhere

Be stronger Ama

I guess it feels cheap to some people that Replicas are the solution.
