What is this obsession with seeing the remaining former Organization XIII members as part of the new Organization XIII? like, Marluxia has validity to be part of the True Organization XIII because his somebody was actively involved in The Age of Fairy Tales so he has a stake in The Keyblade War. But Demyx and Larxene have absolutely no indication of that whatsoever (as of right now).
Why don't we strip these remaining former Organization XIII characters of further characterisation by shoehorning them back into Xehanort's clique again? Okay, Luxord has the chess piece so he may have some unbeknownst reason to join the group again, but Larxene? We get that she collaborated with Marluxia in Chain of Memories for a rebellion, but have you ever stopped to notice that Larxene does not even talk to Marluxia once in the game despite apparently "working together"? Her agenda is clearly self-contained.
I'm sorry, but putting Demyx, Luxord and Larxene back into Organization XIII rubs me the wrong way. This is a new Organization XIII, let's just make it comprised of as many new members as possible.
I understand if you don’t like the ideas that I like and you’re free to voice your disagreement. But I politely request you not refer to a random thought in a thread based on “off the wall†ideas as having an obsession with a concept. I don’t know where you’re getting that from. It was a just-for-fun musing and should not have been taken so seriously. And for the record, I didn’t even mention Demyx here. He’s honestly the last person I would expect to join the Organization.
Now to address your distaste for returning Organization members:
The fact is, there isn’t going to be a whole lot of room in this game for development of characters outside the 7 Lights and 13 Darknesses, with only a handful of exceptions like Donald and Goofy. That’s already 22 characters. Most others are going to have relatively inconsequential impact on the plot. That’s why I would like to see Larxene as a member so she is relevant to biggest conflict in KH history since the first Keyblade War.
This is the Infinity War of Kingdom Hearts and the heroes and villains featured will be the ones that are highlights from across the various franchise entries, that’s why MX, Vanitas, Terranort, YX, Ansem, Xemnas, Marluxia, Xigbar, and Saïx are all returning.
Now like it or not, not all but some of the former Organization are part of the new Organization. The best way for them to make this interesting is by taking a couple from CoM (Marluxia and Larxene) and a few from KH2 (Xemnas, Xigbar, Saïx, and Luxord.) That at least allows us to see members work together that we haven’t seen in the past like I suggested with a Larxene/Luxord team up. Personally, I’d rather see new dynamics between existing characters than try to shoehorn in new characters into an overstuffed cast.
From the ones I’ve mentioned in this post, we’d have 5 new Org members, 4 returning from KH2, and 2 from CoM. (I consider the CoM members as essentially a separate group because they never get to interact with the KH2 members outside of Days, which is hardly anything at all.) That still leaves room for two more surprise members, which will most likely be new. So that’s 7 new and 6 returning, a balance slightly tipped in favor of new members.
Also, for the record, Marluxia had no indication of showing back up until Union Cross. For all we know, the next story update could bring Larxene’s Somebody into the fold somehow. The thing to understand is when people are speculating, they are free to hope for what they want. There’s no reason to let speculation upset you when there is not yet any significant proof for or against it.
Again, I do not have an “obsession†with old members filling these slots. It’s simply what I think is most logical to happen given that every other member so far is a returning villain of the franchise. If they surprise us and enlist four new members to fill the yet to be revealed spots, that will be a great surprise. I just don’t see it happening at this point.
