Got it on my birthday Oct. 31st and beat it on normal Nov 19th at 4:00~A.M. I had to check my journal to remember the dates. I could have had it done faster if November wasn't such a busy month for me.
Hmm...maybe it was something similiar to their holomission technology.
I don't think they ever intended to turn her into a Dusk since she's not a Nobody but Saix probably dropped it as a threat at some point to keep her in line. The signs of rebellion didn't show up until after Vexen was slain. Axel said that Dusks don't have memories from before. Perhaps Xemnas could turn him back with a clean empty mind. If that didn't work we know that he still had plan Sora.
Xemnas being the only one able to do it makes a lot of sense when you remember Xion and Riku stopping Roxas from attacking Xemnas. What's the point of Roxas chopping his way up to Xemnas if Xemnas just snaps his fingers and transforms Roxas into a Dusk?
If she's still looking for a base of operations I've heard that Castle Oblivion is currently vacant.
Going back to what Xemnas wrote: It sounds...intentional?
I thought it was just a note, like this: http://tinyurl.com/ylnj55k
It's fine to say that but where was it confirmed?
It looks like it's undecided then because I thought Riku first saw Xion as Namine >_>
It is canon that she loves Roxas and Axel. As for if she loved anyone romantically, I would say no, I doubt she even knows what that is.
IIRC Namine, Genie, and Pete saw Xion as Xion. Who did Riku see?
I think it's possible that Lea and Isa were some of the people that the apprentices performed experiments on. It would explain why they originally had planned to betray them. I've never thought Luxord looked like Ansem...
Honestly, the black hair comes from the Devs wanting to set her apart from them...but I think that the "because that's just how Vexen did it" is the best in game answer at the moment.
The difference between those four and Xion and Roxas is that those four chose to be Keyblade masters and risk their lives to protect others. Roxas and Xion were pretty much forced into a terrorist group and treated like slaves.
By strongly wanting to be her own person she got what she wanted. Perhaps you could say "she thinks therefore she exists." I wonder if Vexen anticipated it since he must have been the one who originally made that possible. Since people see her as hooded before they get to know her and Xigbar sees her as Ven maybe her black hair came simply from Xion wanting her true form to be unique from Kairi and Namine, even if she only knew that subconsciously. So you could say Xion has black hair because Xion wanted black hair and Vexen left her with the ability to choose (or black was just what he gave her.)
I once was seconds away from spoiling Days before I caught myself and stopped. I don't intend to get that close again. Under the bed I go!
I used to think that too. I still think that 1-6 are evil since they did all of those experiments on people back when they still had hearts but someone like Demyx is just in it to get his heart back. Axel has shown that Nobodies have consciences by regretting what he did to the Riku Replica but that could be because of spending too much time near Sora's heart via proxy. If they all have consciences then that would add a few more to the evil list.
In his journal Xemnas wrote this: So Xemnas sometimes sees her as Sora maybe and Xigbar sees her as Ven. From what I can tell only Roxas Axel and...Genie...see her true form.
Xigbar clearly remembers Ven. Maybe humans all look the same to dogs and ducks.
It says "Xehanort has returned" or Maleficent and Pete...
