Was Xion an afterthought... like, after KH2 was made then they were coming up with ideas for 358 Days / 2 and decided to create the Xion character? Or was she planned from the get-go (or at leat planned out before Chain of Memories)?

 

Has this ever been answered through any interviews or anything? If not, what are your thoughts on this?

 

To me, I always got the feeling that she was invented later. She seemed like an unnecessary addition to the overall story of Kingdom Hearts... and the fact that she turned out to be the final boss (as a way to eliminate her so it would make sense that she was never mentioned in KH2) just felt awkward.

Most likely, yeah.

Btw I have never understood why people like gay pairings so much...

 

I'd assume for the same reasons that people like straight pairings.

Or their just trolling

Why do people even look up KH stuff to fap to

that's just

no.

 

Because there perverted .__.

there always has to be a trio... in every game. nomura likes weird numbers, like 3, 7 and 13... o.O

Afterthought or not she is my favorite character that can relate to me somewhat

You're a puppet created from the memories of the body of one person and the broken heart of another who absorbs power from said entity and was forgotten?

LOL not completely. Its like no one wants you alive

The majority of the games leave holes or very open plot lines where anything new can happen in the next installment that no one saw coming, like Xion.

 

Same way we all thought Sora was got the keyblade cause Riku gave into the darkness, then we find out he's got Ventus inside him which shaped his mannerisms.

 

Wonder if Ven is as dimwitted as Sora now having lived in him....

 

Most likely, yeah.

Same...I understand finding a naturally gay pairing adorable in how they're comfortable to show the world their love, but when people piece two clearly straight people together cause they're friends, it's just like..why?

There have been three self-contained games in the Kingdom Hearts series thus far Kingdom Hearts (obviously), Birth by Sleep (excluding the final cut-scene), and Days (however it would be one of the most depressing games in existence then). However future titles depend on the events that happened there. Both Birth by Sleep and DAys introduced new plot points that would be of greater importance as the series progressed. Birth by Sleep introduces us to 5 new Keyblade wielders, one of whom is our main antagonist throughout the series, and three of whom need to be rescued. Days shows us the Organization members as more than our simple antagonists who we have to fight, explains Axel's actions, and shows character dynamics, particularly between Axel and Saïx (which if our dramatic revelation as to him working for Xehanort are any sign, means Axel's going to have Drama. Oh. Yay.), and again, introduces us to a new keyblade wielder. Our lost comrades are the subject of coded, lead into 3Ds, and will no doubt be driving points for at least the start of the next game in the series. Xion wasn't an afterthought, but in Kingdom Hearts II, with everyone making comments as to Sora/Roxas, and vague references to the events of Days it would have been ever so much mre confusing if we had them commenting about some girl the players had not met, had no knowledge of, and the only way to have made it possible would have been to...

Extend the week-long prologue so Roxas can fill us in

Have Axel appear to Sora and explain in a concise manner exactly what happened

Have one of the Organization members do this, but with less information

Any character whose lifespan existed only in Days could not have effectively been discussed, there are no mentions of the Castle Oblivion crew for similar reasons, it's not the Organization's job to give Sora a biography on their life, it's their job to get him to hit things with his keyblade.

It kinda felt like it to me... they couldn't even get a good VA for her. Honestly, not to be a hater, but she's my least favorite "original character" in the entire series.

tutti frutti. Xion is only just a dream.

I think goldplanner said it perfectly:

to the protagonists, 'she's' a flawless un-hatable Sue in the game-verse. As a real person looking at her as a character that was created by someone, I think she's a mark of terrible writing. Whether you like 'her' or not isn't the question, it's whether you care about bad writing or not.

I personally don't dislike her in the game, but the reality is that days is not a self contained game and in the scheme of things, she contributes a miniscule amount aside from answering questions already answered.

 

and also:

tutti frutti. Xion is only just a dream.

 

I actually was making a serious theory on that with DDD info.
