So I've recently been replaying some of the older games and just finished watching through the 358/2 Days movie yesterday.
I guess when I originally came across this stuff I just kind of glossed over it or tuned it out but, things start to get pretty funky when Namine and Xion are involved.
Specifically I'm talking about the way that when something happens to a person, it can result in everyone who knows them losing the memory of said person's existence.
I think that this happened to memories of Sora near the beginning of KH2, and to memories of Xion after she disappeared.
Was there any decent explanation for this at any point? I remember in CoM Namine gave a bit of insight into how memories work, saying that they're connected like a "chain" or like "chains"(not sure) and that if something can't be remembered, it doesn't mean it's gone, just disconnected from the chain/chains.
But that doesn't explain why OTHER people will be having their memory altered to not include a certain person because they assimilated into Sora/Roxas like Xion or had Namine mess with their memories like Sora.
The closest thing to an explanation for this included in a game that I know of is in the Days movie when Namine tells Xion that if she returns to Sora, she'll disappear AND everyone will forget about her. Saying: "In exchange for not having your own memory, you're connected through other's memories. So when you disappear, no one will remember you. There won't be any "you" to remember."
Connected through other's memories to what? Didn't Xion form plenty of her own memories? Does that mean when people die in this universe everyone forgets them? Is it just people without hearts?
What is this girl saying to me right now??
Not to mention, don't we learn in KH3 that Xion has a heart? That would reinforce the fact that she has her own memory.
This really has me stuck, I know it's probably mostly only there so it makes sense that there isn't an ounce of Xion to be found in KH2.(Who knows why they did it to memories of Sora in KH2.)
But is there anything that I'm not remembering from some point in the series that makes more sense than Namine having a stroke in Days? Or is it just time to roll with it and move on? At this point I'm theorizing that Namine is actually some kind of whimsical fiend, and is just erasing everyone's memory for fun and lying about it.
TDLR: Xion vanish>people forget her>why? Namine restoring Sora's memories>people forget him for a second>why?
Edit: I've seen everything in the series at least once so don't worry about spoiling me
