do u think if they're going to talk about Sora being the child of destiny -> who can join his hearts with others -> joined his heart with Ventus -> Sora is partly responsible for Namine's makeup as a Nobody -> that they're FINALLYYY going to address Namine being blonde (Ven) and born in Castle Oblivion (Ven) with power over Sora's memories (because Ven who has joined hearts with Sora influenced her creation/birth) or am I hopeful thinking

or that Roxas who obvs looks like Ven and also has power over light or am I hopeful thinking

do u think they'll finally talk about this shit in game now that everyone's alive again, or is it so "old news" meta-wise that the writers wont care anymore

it never fails to surprise me how some people will simply take every single thing in a story at face value and assume that what the characters are saying or doing or thinking must always be true even when all of the context clues are screaming the opposite

Hot take but, lack of timely communications aside (I wish they kept us more in the loop), I don't mind KhML and Kh4 being delayed/not being released withing two years.

We are at a time where a lot of AAA games get released half backed, buggy, and incomplete (sometimes on purpose, sometimes because execs pushed for developers to crunch so much it was detrimental to their health, and nobody can do a good job in those conditions). I don't mind them taking their time to ensure things are done well.

i just wish they gave us a bit more updates 😅

hey hi im having swirling and spinning luxubar thoughts again. let's look at these lines.

i imagine he phrases it this way because it's a casual, laid-back way of expressing this idea. "more recently, i go by the name Xigbar, but you can call me Luxu if you want, I don't care either way." (and the fact that he doesn't have a strong preference about the name he's called still says something about his relationship to his own identity, i think!)

but absolutely i feel this can be interpreted on a deeper level, too. the question is about who he is—about his identity in isolation—but the way he responds defines him relationally—"these days they call me Xigbar, but hey, whatever suits you." a sense of identity that is fluid, dependent on who he serves, on what role he plays.

a sense of identity made even more tragic by the fact that, no, Xigbar isn't his real name, and neither was Braig, but neither is Luxu.

[this is Chirithy, speaking about the Master of Masters.]

even the name Luxu, considered his "true identity", was bestowed on him by his master. every identity we have ever known for Xigbar, every name he's ever had, has been a name he assumed in pursuit of someone else's goal. Braig and Bragi were names he acquired from his vessels. Luxu and even Xigbar were names he was given by his superiors. he has only ever been defined in relation to someone else, by someone else's past or someone else's ambitions.

i really treasure the way kh’s metaphysical worldbuilding is completely insane and yet almost never elaborated on. you can temporarily change species to protect someone else if you love them enough. are physical bodies truly real or not? what’s a person? this magic key lets you bends time and reality to your will and bring people back from the dead. i mean like if you die it may or may not even be a big deal y’know? like what flavor of death are we talking about here? maybe you’ll get absorbed into someone else’s soul. maybe you’ll become both a zombie and a ghost at the same time. maybe you’ll become a translucent star being in a field of endless shallow water. maybe you’ll stop being real and start being fictional. maybe you’ll end up in the underworld of disney’s hercules (1997). it all depends y’know?
