A while ago, I made a thread about what Kairi and Lea's roles in KHIII might be. I decided to do the same for two of my favorite characters in the entire series who I hope play some kind of role in the next game... and Xion.

 

But seriously, these characters are sort of irrelevant in current canon; they got cameo shots in DDD and will certainly at least appear in KHIII, but it's unclear just how relevant they will be come that time when KHIII is released sometime in, I don't know, 2019.

 

So let's start off with this first: Roxas, Namine, and Xion's biggest bullet point for them right now is that they are connected to Sora in some way and must be "saved" by him.

 

Roxas, even though, it's not outright stated, nor do a lot of people really bring it up, but I think he wants to have his own heart once again so that he can be with Lea and his Twilight Town friends again. Yeah, I know he sort of got all martyr-y about it in DDD, but you saw how Sora reacted too: he wants to give his Nobody a heart. So it's pretty much gonna happen. Meanwhile, Namine definitely wants Sora to full remember the bond they formed in Castle Oblivion and, in general, be Sora's friend (I honestly don't know how much of COM Sora remembers right now, it could be most of it, it could be some of it, but to me he doesn't seem like he remembers a lot, so bear with me on this claim.), and Xion wants to rekindle her bond with Roxas and Lea, obviously.

 

Now, beyond that, what they do for the story is sort of up in the air. I mean, some people think that Roxas may become a Guardian of Light, but I highly doubt that. Xion is a little too far-fetched for me too. We could also do go the obvious route with Namine and, you know, give her a Keyblade and make her do something with that, but honestly, that scenario isn't really in my favor. One reason because, like other people, I don't think its a smart idea to start handing out Keyblades Oprah style; we have enough of those already, and another reason is because Namine is unique with her power over memories, so she should keep that uniqueness. Heck, maybe that could be used in the story somehow.

 

I honestly don't have a concrete answer for this one. I had one for Kairi and Lea, but this one could go in a lot of different directions, but hey, that's why we have the forums. I jus want Roxas and Namine to do something (Xion, I guess...) but what do you guys think? What do you see Roxas, Namine, and Xion doing in KHIII, if they even should do anything significant at all?

Oh, we'll definitely get them back for KH3. My guess is that they are either Twilight Town residents or Cable Town residents. 

 

The thing that interests me about Xion is that she is an individual that is viewed differently depending on who sees her. This makes me wonder, will Xion really stay the same as her 358/2 Days appearance or will she have a new appearance to differentiate herself from Kairi?

 

Since they always portray her as a black-haired KH1 Kairi, I suppose it's gonna stay like that

What? Have you ever played DDD? Even, Ienzo, Dilan and Aeleus came back as well. We can also imagine that maybe Demyx, Marluxia, Luxord and Larxene's Somebodies came back as well, though as they must be in another world we may not see them.

 

I meeaaaaaaaant Demyx, Marluxia, Luxord, and Larxene. Ding dong.

 

Either way, they can only come back if he have confirmation that they'll come back, and we don't have that yet.

Haha dude I just don't think we are ever gonna agree. I admire your passion though and I enjoyed shooting opinions back and forth. But I still stick to what I said. ^w^ I hope we can both be happy with whatever Nomura decides to throw at us next.
