~Xion Secret~


Impression:

The 14th collapses in pain, she is holding the Kingdom Key.
Riku closes in on her and lifts her hood, she resists.
He lifts one eye of the blindfold to see her face.
Riku's expression changes to surprise.
Riku: "Who are you? Why do you have the keyblade?"
14th: "Why are you dressed like a member of the Organization?"
Riku walks away from her, towards the castle.
Riku: "So no one interferes with Sora's sleep."
Her keyblade is sticking out of the ground.
Riku picks it up and hurls it toward her.
Riku: "What you have... That keyblade must be a fake."
14th: "Don't tell me that! You're deceiving too!"
Riku: "Indeed, maybe I'm the one who doesn't exist."

Xion flees. Riku does not look like Ansem yet.

In front of the Twilight Town mansion.
The 14th member's keyblade is shown for a second.
Her hood is obstructed, and her face flashes for a moment.
Her hair color is dark blue.
It looks like the hair of Aqua.
Axel: "You're gotta be kidding! Don't make a fool out of me."
The 14th member turns to yell at Axel.
Appearing in his hands are his chakrams covered in fire.
Axel and the 14th are confronting one another.
Axel: "I've decided. No matter how many times you escape, I will bring you back."

Now rumors are going around saying that Xion is Kairi's nobdy, because Sora sponded one. Thus it's unclear to if that's true. But apparently, it seems like Xion maybe more connected to Sora memories, this is why there leaking out.

But hopefully more news will shine on Xion. Also she wields the Kingdom Keyblade. How is she able to, when Roxas is wielding it. Unknown, thus in one of the scans, it features Xion using Magic. This also can relate to if she's Aqua Nobody. Aqua only used magic when she fights, thus these are all theories, so don't take these's so harsh.

 

You can't play as Xemnas, Luxord, and Demyx huh? those are my favorite characters!

 

Can play as Axel and Marluxia?? Great! But Demyx would be awesome, too.. u.u
Anyways, thanks for the info.

 

Nope, it's clear that Xemnas couldn't be played in the first place.

Yeah it would have been great. No problem, I just want everyone to have a good perspective of the game,

 

Oh, anyway thanks for the information . I thought it will be cool if i played as Xemnas

 

Yeah, I agree with Trump.. but great that Axel is playable Thanks for the information. ^^

 

Your welcome. Axel is a good choice to play as. Also his weapon is very useful.

Your welcome. I think Xemnas it not playable because Nomura couldn't find a good weapon for users to play as. I don't think he wanted users to play with red sabers.

 

Yeah, it's like darth vader. But the weapon name is aerial blade right?

 

You can play as Demyx,in the beta test you could.
I wrote an article with this information in,and a girl from some blog played as him.

 

Okay, demyx still could... But how about Luxord and Zexion? How they fight?

 

Luxord would fight with his cards,and mabye even through Dice in people's eyes.

Zexion's fighting style is like Demyx,it'll all be magic related,but you can only use magic a few times,this will make him hard to fight with as you will have to wait for it to recharge.

 

Meh, I wish I could play as Demyx. Even though he was a hard boss to defeat.. but he's cool

And no Zexion? Dam

 

I think it's kinda funny, if luxord fighting heartless with cards and dice... He's the best one on one enemy

 

Hopefully Demxy Can be able to be playable to users.

 

Yeah, it would be nice. He's one of my favorite characters.

 

Maybe Nomura will add him. I think Xemnas & Zexion shouldn't be the ones playable.

 

You can, it is only in multi-play where (so far) you can't

 

You can't:

• Play as Xemnas
• Play as Demxy
• Play as Zexion
• Play as Luxord

 

I don't know about Xemnas, but I know you CAN play as the other three.

 

That's what I said. You can't play as those.
