@Sephiroth0812:
0_o Wow I never noticed all that, well more like didn't put it all together like that, and you pointing out Xigbar mocking Siax so shrewdly kinda makes me laugh at how truly blind Siax was.
Agreed, if anything Xemnas' actual composition needs to be one of the first things addressed. There's so many things that Xemnas takes in his actions that can be seen either was as terra shining through or MX, especially with his moments like when Roxas fell into the coma and Xemnas coments that "sleep has taken you yet again".
I wonder on how much Eraqus plays a part the most though since, as stated, most of what xemnas does can be seen as Terra or MX shining through but you never see a moment where Eraqus could.
Namine is the first thing I hope kh3 addresses, especially after that scene in days with Axel reading a book written by Vexen about her true nature. (or whatever it was titled)
Exactly, Xigbar is to big a troll to not mentioned it at least under his breath hoping to see who would pick up on his words. lol
Completely honest?
I didn't put it together like that until I finished playing the story of Dream Drop Distance as well and re-read that part of Days recently. Only then I realized how well these tidbits go together.
This however seems to also give another point to the faction that thinks Saix isn't in on the whole issue completely on his own whim, as while one can argue that Xigbar would mock him regardless (because that's part of his personality as a troll) and that in his own secret reports Saix often talks about "our plans", meaning Xemnas and Xigbar, he obviously does not know the main agenda behind it.
He's in on more secrets of the Organisation than any other member save Xigbar, but still not on the same level as Xemnas and Xigbar are.
Yep, that one can be taken either way, as many of those "weird" statements and actions of Xemnas. Although there are several issues that can be taken to be from either MX or Terra, there are many issues that can be
clearly designated solely to Xehanort, while there is
none so far that can be solely contributed to be of Terra.
Eraqus' influence is, if at all, very subtle like i.e. Xemnas' tendency to speak very strict and with a tone of authority, his knowledge of the layout of the Camber of Waking (as the Chamber of Repose in Radiant Garden holding Aqua's armor is very similar to the chamber in Castle Oblivion and it was Eraqus who knew about the mechanism and teached Aqua about it) or the Nobody-symbol, which is practically Eraqus' symbol upside down.
That would depend on when Naminé actually is saved during KH 3 and what role she plays, since she isn't exactly a fighter I doubt she'll participate in the final series of battles as an active combatant. Either way, since you mention Vexen's book, this may be an opportunity to give a bit more of a role for Even, Vexen's human form, during the game. Heck, he was the head of the Replica Program and an insider on much of Xehanort's/Xemnas' research, so if he isn't a Seeker of Darkness but more on the neutral side, he could be a viable source of information for the good guys.
Even if it goes all over Sora's head again, Riku and Mickey would surely be able to understand much of the stuff Even could explain to them.
Indeed, and it's on one side funny on the other jarring to see that actually no one
does pick up on his words, mainly because he is really so effective in trolling that no one knows when he's divulging actual important stuff and when not.
Maybe Xehanort and/or Xemnas even get a laugh out of this, seeing Braig/Xigbar actually delivering hints on a (hidden) silver tablet and no one of those (in his views) lesser beings catches on.
