I've been asking myself this question since 2012 the first time I finished the game............why does LeaAxel need to get a keyblade?

 

Like ok I get that they need to fill the empty spots of the "7 Warriors of Light" but you could've picked up anyone else and let LeaAxel be his own unique thing

 

Why do we need to shove keyblades on everyone to make them relevant to the plot?LeaAxel's role in the story has already been completely fine ever since we first got introduced to Axel in Chain of Memories,he serves an important purpose and his unique fighting style with the chakrams was badass and cool enough on it's own merit..............so why do we need to give him a keyblade?Especially with someone who's supposed to be of the ASSASSIN'S class of fighters but we're giving him a blunt weapon....firetrucking whatever

 

Let's strip our other characters from what was unique to them and give them the keyblade badge of plot approval otherwise we have no use for them in the final battle even though LeaAxel proved to be more than keyblade of going one vs onemano e mano against other keyblade wielders with just his own weapon of choice

 

Even if it's for the purpose of adding things to the plot,that doesn't make it a good choice in my opinion and it further strips more magic out of the Kingdom Hearts series than what had already been stripped of it

 

It's like playing Final Fantasy I or Final Fantasy V and doing a warrior only playthrough where all your characters can only wield swords

 

And soon enough just like Lea everyone else will lose their weapons to get their keyblade,Xigbar won't have his sniper laser guns,SaixIsa won't have his claymore because Mr Baldy McFingerWiggleDarkness demands that all of his Organization XIII members have keyblades cuz 7 lights and 13 darknesses

 

Next thing SquallLeon will get his own keyblade too instead of his iconic Gunblade,yes I know the concept of the Gunblade is kinda stupid but at least it was unique to SquallLeon (I know Seifer has one in FF8 but that's not the point) or maybe Tifa will ditch her Monk fighting style of melee combat for a Keyblade and who knows maybe Cloud and Sepiroth will ditch their Buster Sword and Masamune sword so they can get their own keyblades too

 

 

KEYBLADES FOR EVERYONE

 

I apologize if my original message was not worded entirely how I meant it to (english isn't entirely my first language so I'm always worried I might word things wrong), because I agree with this wholeheartedly. 

 

I by no means hold any grudges against Axel in Days because quite honestly I feel like the dude tried his best. Despite my own biases I'll be one of the first to tell you that Saïx's downfall was mainly his own lmao. Tbh tbh tbfh I don't even think Xehanort is entirely to blame for Saïx's behaviour in days, I personally think that's mainly Isa's own doing but alas I'm getting off topic. My original intent is trying to say that even though Axel was by no means an antagonistic character in days he did make mistakes, and his growth in kh2 is exemplified from it. And I find the fact that Lea's attempt to find Isa even before all the possession crap was revealed to him is just touching. I have no idea if I'm making any sense at all lol

 

 

By all means I enjoyed talking about this with you and if English is your second language I am even more impressed bc I would've never guessed. Yes you do indeed make sense and I can see where you could say that about Saix as well. He did make a choice in how he handled Axel and their friendship. I appreciate you taking the time to chime in with some healthy KH character discussion

Well we have no indication that this is a negative. Wait to see how it's handled then decide No need to jump the gun just yet.

 

 

 

As for Xion- she grew a heart just like Roxas which is the key to bringing them both back alongside Ansem the Wise's hidden data as we were told in DDD. My theory is extracting those hearts and giving them a body similar to the body a walking heart Sora had until he was reunited with Roxas. We don't necessarily need to make a replica body per se for them to come back as their separate physical selves. The projectile body Kairi gave Sora when she purified him could be a feasible option that we see has worked in the past and allowed Sora and Roxas to coexist separately.

 

A childhood friendship and bond makes it always worth fighting for unless you suck as a friend

I know that Roxas can physically manifest himself in  front of Sora as we saw in KH2 a couple of times

 

Xion is what confuses me.Yes I get it Ansem's Data but for all intends and purposes we don't know the content of the data yet only that it'll be beneficial against Xehanort and will help find the dormant people connected to Sora

Yeah and one of the dormant people is Xion and she's specifically mentioned and shown when discussing this in DDD. It is specifically said this data will help bring back these fallen comrades. My point is- we know the data will be used somehow we just don't know how exactly and they could go many ways besides using replica bodies. Will it make sense? That remains to be seen
