...I think I love you for this description XD
As much as I'm for the whole Sora x Riku pairing = Xion x Riku...I'm disappointed by the lack of a Kairi option. Considering her design is based off of Sora's strongest memory/vision at the time of her birth you'd think this would be more likely result...however being that it has yet to be proven that Nobodies have hearts and the ability to love...I'll withhold my answer
X'D You'll figure it out when the english version comes out. Xigbar seems to treat Roxas as more of a burden and well Demyx...is well kind of all over the place ^^;;; eg: Xigbar just saves Roxas from a hoard of heartless in halloween town in a most AWESOME display of showering bullets (seriously owo awesome entrance is awesome) Roxas: Geez thanks for being my backup Xigbar: YOUR BACK UP?! tsh the nerve just wait till Saix hears about this...tch you calling ME backup -comes off as being offended- Roxas: ;w; wahhht...? Xigbar: -scowls- come on let's go Oh and it's not that Axel doesn't like her/him/it...err it's confusing...but it kinda all just boils down to his dieing scene in kh II when he said Roxas was the only one he ever liked. But in saying this he mentions various times throughout the game that the feelings they feel (talking to Roxas) are false and it's something that Saix reminds him (Axel) firmly of as well. Axel's caught in a bit of turmoil over this whole 'we have no hearts' thing throughout the game and senses something just isn't right about Xion and her ability to copy Roxas. Hence the scene where he's raiding Vexen's study, he's trying to figure out just what's going on with not only Xion but Roxas as well. The whole sea salt ice cream thing...it's actually Axel's favorite treat!!! XDDD Saix also mentions something about Axel having changed since castle oblivion...makes me wonder what happened to him during his 48 days of not being in the story...wonder what the red head was up to?
Lulz true I guess you could veiw it like that...sorta ^^;; As for Xion. In the previous scene there was that meeting where Xemnas was talking to everyone...he announced that Xion was defective and thus the orders fell to Axel as the organization eliminator of traitors, to go find her, however his orders were altered slightly and that was to bring her back alive which he did...Seriously Axel was so loyal to the organization in this game ;w; anyways to the scene that followed the meeting where Axel and Roxas are talking...Roxas asks him if he'd really eliminate Xion he says other things and states he wants to see if she's still the Xion they remember...when he confronts her in the forest she says she's realized now she's nothing but a doll etc so on and Axel realizes thing can't go back to the way they were and so yea fight ensues. The friendship between Axel and Xion is rather strained at the best of times, that's not to say he doesn't try XD
Actually if nothing else Xigbar and Demyx did nothing but make Roxas feel right down miserable. Um excuse rough lulzy translation this takes place after Axel's left for three days to go to castle oblivion: Xigbar: oh it appears everyone on in Castle oblivion has been earses Roxas: WHAT?! What about Axel? Demyx: yeap gone too lulz Roxas: ;w; further more did you notice whenever you went on missions with either of them they kinda...ran away or dissapeared whenever a boss battle appeared? XDDD Xion was always tapping into her Sora powers...well...more she was tapping Roxas's. As Roxas got more powerful so did Xion, that's why on those missions where it's just Roxas and Xion you see her power improved massively cause she's too close to Roxas. ...seriously though Chain of Memories only lasted 3 Days?! WTF!? Also another thing a friend noted which I find hilarious...outside the front of the haunted mansion...have you noticed this seems to be Axel's choice location for eliminating or at least attempting to eliminate other Organization Members?
Xigbar calls Roxas Neko alot -giggles- neko = kitty...I like how Axel was left with an unconscious Xigbar...and just left him there, but I'm sure we'll see his other self in BBS now that they went ahead and threw that scene in at random. The game itself has left more questions than answers which I've found highly disappointing...I'll await the english release though before fully judging it.
Yes those were the quotes I was referring -looks over the theory and adjusts- better?
SERIOUSLY SPOILERS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE GAME FOR YOURSELF DO NOT READ THIS!!! Okay I can't remember what day it was exactly this happened (it was somewhere past 300) Xigbar was fighting Xion and then suddenly she appears as Ven from bbs...but only Xigbar sees her as Ven while when Axel shows up he sees her as Xion. So my theory going from what Xigbar stated in KH2FM+ about other bearers of the keyblade ...think it's safe to assume that he has some major connection to Ven or did he see Ven just simply because he'd seen him fight? Also given that Xion was portrayed to Xigbar as Ven, as she herself is just fragments of Sora's mind...whats the link between Sora and Ven? Or could this be Xemnas's doing? Discuss... Lulz am I the only one that thinks that Xigbar calling Roxas kitten is adorable XD
Yes and...you should have unlocked Xion too! I've heard playing through on Standard mode is how to unlock Sora and Mickey I think was Critical mode. As for the new game plus it is but there's a certain way of getting it...my friend was the one telling me how she did it I'll ask them again later on how to do it...I think you just load your save file if I remember correctly -unsure-
Actually Saix pronounced it Re-a in the Japanese version as we have yet to hear the actual English translation I don't think it's a safe bet to be making assumptions on the pronouncement of the name. Also as there is no information about Lea it is quiet plausible to speculate that as a somebody, Lea may have been in fact, female but then again maybe not -shrugs-...it's all speculation until some new info surfaces...I'm personally hoping for an extended version of the game having playing quiet a ways through I did feel it was lacking in some areas especially in regards to information about the organization XIII somebodies. Other than that AWESOME GAME IS AWESOME!!
リア Ria Pronounced Lea Unfortunately we lack the ability to take a video of this movie but we can assure you this is the real deal

Edit: Spoiler!! Axels real name + picture + vid included!! As promised here is the screen cap リア Ria Pronounced Lea DAY 299!!! Saix: You have to decide what's more important to you--Roxas and this Doll ((Xion)). We're going to have to trust you--Xemnas is as well--to make the choice. Isn't that right... Lea? OFFICIAL NAME AXEL SOMEBODY = Lea!! Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-4cgOf6whI and the video is now up thanks to DChiuch Btw people it will most likely be pronounced Lee-ah...I don't see why everyone is making a fuss over it being such a feminine name...have you actually looked at the guy? Very fem looking just like most of the other organization members ^^
Working on doing just that!! Had to have a temp hiatus from the game due to irl issues but will endeavor to get the screen cap asap
http://s129.photobucket.com/albums/p215/Fox_the_blue_demon/kh SPOLIER CAPS/ Pictures of the new game: They're not the best quality and highly random as I'm just taking various ones from spots in the game that I've found amusing but I figured I'll share them anyways as some of you out there might like a bit of a sneak preview ^^ enjoy
Myself and another have the game ^^ she's up so day 300 and has been translating it, day 299 there is a cut scene with Axel and Saix talking about Xion and how she's betrayed them and that it's Axel judgment weather or not he is going to follow orders or betray them. And yea he used Axel's real name and Axel scowls at Saix. I'm playing mine through again so that I can get vid of it though I'm only up to day 177 at the moment as I've been playing around in mission mode :B playing as Axel lul so it may take me a while ^^;
Xemnas's yaoi paddles of doom ... gee and if have an anagram namd to Mansex wasn't bad enough oh gawd the fangirls will tear this to shreads XDD ...Saix...banana phone!
There's a lot of Saix and Axel scenes in this game...atleast half of the cut scenes thus far are those two talking
