Xion's character is a little confusing at times and i dont really understand the point of creating her if shes just gonna die and be forgotten at the end of the game and if they do bring her back in later games what would she even do?
As much as I love Xion I think her usefulness in the plot has expired
Xion is a decent character, but i felt she could've been more. unfortunately she was no aqua, a character that akes up the story
i would've liked if she did more action against the organization than against roxas and axel
Honestly, Re:Coded doesn't exactly say that she is useful to the plot. It just says that her appearances aren't over.Coded/Re:Coded says otherwise. Just like how Namine's plot usefulness only became clear AFTER CoM.
BBS was pretty much her story. Just because she was following Terra and Ven doesn't mean she didn't have a story.Aqua had barely any story to call her own. She was basically chasing Terra and Ven through her entire scenario.
that's why theres the final chapter and the secret ending heavily revolves around her. so yeah, i would say she has enough, and her ending was some-what less vague than ven's and terra's.Aqua had barely any story to call her own. She was basically chasing Terra and Ven through her entire scenario.
They did that with Repliku in CoM.

and repliku only did it to marluxia, he didn't seem to target the rest. i just think she could've taken more action, than playing the runaway teenage girl routine
i said some-what less vague, but still vague. And she did have a story, sure, her job was to look out for the 2, but she played her role. in the end she defeated both of them, but caused the events we see now.The endings weren't quite vague in my book D: and she still didn't have a story seeing how short the final chapter was.
Also, the secret ending was more about Sora than Aqua o_o Aqua was the device through which Sora's future role was presented but it's not like she did too much.
I thought, a good fight between her and Xemnas would be good right before being ordered to fight RoxasHe was basically at odds ends with everyone else in the Organization. He was a brat and he also "ate" Zexion.
Xion ran away because she didn't know what to do and didn't want to hurt her friends while she took her time figuring it out.
If running away from the Organization, hacking into their computer, investigating CO on her own and then manning up to face Roxas and fight Axel isn't taking action, I really don't know what else she could've done.

Not really.I actually think it's the other way around since even without appearing, things happen that were caused by her.
I don't see why her story involving other characters means it isn't hers, too. You want Sora to go on an adventure that has nothing to do with any other character just so he can say it is "his"?What bugs me about this is what always bugged me about Sora as well. Sora's story? Right; KH1 was basically him responding to what Riku did and chasing him. Only because of BBS's wider-spread plot, Aqua had less of Terra and Ven to respond to, making her seem more detached than KH1 Sora to me.

Difference in preferences and semantics. Hard for me to call it "his" or "her" stories when they're that passive. Granted they make decisions and do stuff but they're reacting at best. They're a side in someone else's story.
Actually...the events that led to Sora's adventures in KH1 were catalysts. Riku's falling into darkness, Kairi's damsel issue, Donald and Goofy looking for the King, etc. All of this propelled Sora forward into the adventure. If anything, everyone else were stepping stones to Sora's adventure. It's Sora's story. Even if he himself was not the one that made him leave the islands in a grand quest someone still did and opened up his journey.
The only part that was truly for Sora's story seemed to be the end when everyone muttered his name and then they actually had him sitting there with Riku and Kairi.
benefited Aqua's story development. Giving her a definite place. A sense of where she is in the story.
(thats how I see it anyway).
But it's not like it was "his" adventure. Riku was still an active force; Donald and Goofy were the ones who dictated how, what, where and when. Sora himself played part in maturing enough to realize that despite never asking for any of that, he had no choice but to fill the role given to him. That's where he falls under "reactive" Hero at best to "passive" hero at worse to "plot victim" at worst for me.
And it's that very same "Sora's the hero, it's his story" attitude that gave us KH2. Sora had so little plot impact and influence. He wasn't even the PRIME objective for the Organization since they deemed him disposable at one point. So, yeah. Kind of hard for me to take the whole "Sora's story" as well as that weird quote about Aqua being the true hero of BBS seriously.
In KH terms it seems to translate to "the one who lives through it" which isn't all that much in my book if they managed to do that simply because they lacked a reason to go away.
And AtW blabbering on and on about him prior.
In Sora's story, if anything. Being another person for Sora to save. :\ I'll give her that in that sense she's shaping up Sora's story but HOW she did that doesn't win her no brownie point to me.
Personally it was all badly executed. Days could've been interesting without her had Nomura spent a little more time developing an actual story around Roxas and the Organization instead of around Xion.
I also wanted to see more how the organization interacts with on another on a daily basis, but we hardly see that either.
i know, but it seemed like we could've had more than what we got. days was good, but not one i would be playing againBut this is hardly surprising if one considers that this was absolutely not the focal point of the game, as well as Roxas was not the focal point.
The focal point of Days was to cover the time period Roxas spent in the Org XIII/Sora slept and what happened in that period.
