May I just say that I love what KH3 did to Saix/Isas character. The direction they took him in, the depth they gave him. 

Even though he didnt have tons of scenes and I wish he had more, I love the attention they gave his and Leas relationship. And I also love how it's changed alot of how he is represented in the fan community too.

Before most fan art and stuff of him and Axel were mostly very somber and focused on themes of growing apart and ect. And now there is so much wholesome fan art of them making up and being together and i just love it so much!! 

For all it's faults, I think they nailed this characters arc. It was really all I had hoped for in the end. Even though i was left wanting more!

i agree it was a great character art and i really liked that he was with everyone on destiny islands at the end

hopefully if lea ever gets his own game isa will be his ally like donald and goofy

I think it was great how he found his peace and was able to return and be friends with Lea. What kinda bugs me though is the lack of atonement for the characters. When most of the organization members died, they were kinda just like ok we're good guys now lol. Like there was no interaction between Saix, Roxas, and Xion where they were like hey we remember what you did and it's gonna take us a bit of time before we can fully trust you. Axel of all people was the one all the characters were skeptical of when he switched sides but no one said anything about Ienzo and Saix. On the other hand, it's great that KH is a series where even the evil characters can make a comeback and still be loved by everyone.

I was very surprised when it came to Saix/Isa in this game! I honestly thought that he was too far gone and that Lea was going to have no other choice but to kill him, but the fact that Isa was redeemed and ended up having a happy ending by reconciling with Lea and becoming friends with the others was awesome. It was very wholesome seeing this, and I love how it was finally explained why the two of them joined the Organization in the first place!

I enjoyed Saix in this game more then any other. Because he still felt kinda douchybagging while showing his human side as well, finding a balance and for the fist time I actually felt there was a good guy in him. I never got that from BBS, by the way. He still felt like a jerk in a sense there too. I do wish they'd confirm him as Vexen's other ally trying to atone. I can't think of anyone else but him, but I just feel like a chunk of KH3's villain stories are missing. So many holes need to be filled with the Seekers of Darkness and their members.

I have seen some complaints that Isa/Saix's redemption isn't earned yet and while I don't exactly agree with that, I see where that side is coming from. I think we need a Saix DLC to confirm his involvement in Roxas and possibly even Xion's Replica bodies. I think it would be actually a cool idea if Saix was trying to help rebuild the replicas, finish one and send it to Ienzo via Demyx, but the other one is discovered by Xehanort, so Saix has no choice but to offer it as a vessel to keep his cover or something. Again we need a expanded stories on the Replica situation.

But overall I'm pleased with what they did with Isa. And if you think Roxas and Xion forgave him to easily, remember they got to kill him in the Keyblade Graveyard and he got them seasalt ice cream, the most powerful form of friendship to them lol. But in all seriousness Isa being part of the group is just was RAX needs going forward in the future. Because this former foe turned friend will bring something new to their group. I'm really hoping for some Isa and Xion stories going in KH4 and beyond. There is so much they can do with RAXI, I hope they get a side game. I'll laugh so hard if Isa actually steals Xion and Roxas away from Lea, and Lea gets jealous because of it. So much  potential with this group XD
