If Xemnas became whole again (read: become Xehanort again) then all the misery, including more sinister research on the heart and the possible spamming of tons of Heartless, would start over again. It doesn't take a genius to realize that. Sora could have easily taken on the Heartless. Furthermore... Sounds like someone intent on killing to me. Xigbar saved him, then put a freakin' gun to Sora's head from afar as the battle started. Sora never intended to strike the first blow. Or have you forgotten that whole scenario? Things that Sora already knew of. Approached. Not killed. Not attacked. Approached. Sora didn't go in there to kill him. He didn't even know he'd meet him there. But when he did, Saïx stood there with a claymore in his hand. King Mickey wasn't found yet. Threatened. And unlike Marluxia and Larxene, Sora would have probably given him the chance to leave, considering that an army of Heartless was about to invade his favourite world and he had better things to do. Thus, Sora wanted to scare him off. But Demyx can't feel fear, so he attacked. So if someone attacks you without having the intention to kill you, it's all good? Sora calling out to the rest of the Organization wasn't the smartest move, I give you that. Sora enters a room exploring the castle. How was he supposed to know that it was Luxord's? I don't remember him revealing his weapons before that scene. Luxord pops out, creates a battlefield and they do battle. Yeah. Because we all know that Marluxia would have just let Sora leave. A complete stranger, wearing the same hooded coat as some nutcase you just fought appears before you inside a castle where more than a few things are off. Confirming that she's indeed with the nutcase you just fought. I'd call you an idiot if you didn't draw your weapon. Also, as far as I remember, Larxene knocked Sora to the ground some way or another and he didn't fight back (yet). Maybe you should learn to read between the lines. Then you'd realize that that was a mere trick to keep Sora from giving up(granted, he's easy to taunt) and that she never really meant to warn Sora at all. But of course you knew that. You just try to make half-baked points and hope I don't see through them. Maybe he did. Should we count that?

Let's go over the Organization's deaths: - Xemnas: Had obvious evil plans and was killed to prevent freaky stuff from happening. Justified. - Xigbar: Tried to snipe Sora from above. Self-defense. Justified. - Xaldin: Obvious wicked intent. Justified. - Vexen: Not killed by Sora. - Lexaeus: Not killed by Sora. - Zexion: Not killed by Sora. - Saïx: Kept Kairi imprisoned even though Sora begged for her release and showed hostility on several occasions. Dangerous fellow if he'd act the same way if he did get his heart back. Justified. - Axel: Not killed by Sora. - Demyx: Was given the chance to run but chose to fight. Summoned water clones to harm Sora before the latter lifted a finger. Self-defense. Justified. - Luxord: Attacked Sora out of nowhere. Self-defense. Justified. - Marluxia: Obvious wicked intent. Justified. - Larxene: "Thrice the pain for you means thrice the fun for me!". Need I say more? Self-defense. Justified. - Roxas: Not killed by Sora. Yup. Sora's one twisted bloke...
It's flowers dammit. The official sources only mention flowers.
It's not about breaking. If you "break down" one emotion or desire, it shows your resolve and will to keep another one alive. I never said it has been easy either. You seem to have a knack for minimizing another's mental resolve while emphasizing your own. That won't get you very far. I advise you to work on that. :) Anyway, if you want to fall in love, good for you. It can be something very beautiful. I wish you luck. That goes for all of you.
Saying that I've never loved without taking the rest of that sentence into consideration qualifies as twisting my words. I did not say "I have never experienced love". I said "It's possible that I've never loved, and that I never will". Meaning that the things I've felt may or may not have been love (and I'm rather sure they were). But whatever they were, I suppressed them and made room for more important things. Love is not half as strong as some people believe it to be.
And which crystal ball did you use for that? Perhaps you have yet to experience that there are indeed emotions stronger than love, and that when they clash, love is actually brought on its knees.
Love and I are on ill terms. It's possible that I've never loved, and that I never will. Love doesn't seem to realize that it's the last thing I need in my life. I need freedom. If I love you, I'd help you in any way I can, I'd give you everything I have. But you never get to know me, much less get to love me. And this bird you cannot change.
I had the most trouble with Xaldin.

Gluttony is separated from greed because it deals with wasting resources. While greed means "wanting to have many things" (oversimplifying here but you get the idea), you can still put those things to use. Overly consumed food though, cannot be recycled or used by anyone else. I don't think gluttony should limit itself to food alone. Wasting energy sources for example should also be a case of gluttony as a sin, in my humble opinion. Lust is separated from greed because it can inflict damage to people and society on an entirely different level. Basically greed deals with material things, while lust deals with things that aren't tangible. While comparable, they are very different. If anything should be a part of Greed it's Envy, although I can think of reasons why they are separated.
None. Bad series should be dead and buried as soon as possible, and good series should quit while they're ahead.
I liked the gameplay better by far. The gameplay could be called awesome or epic, while the storyline strands on above-average to good.
How am I supposed to know if I wasn't there? That's the whole reason I don't pay much attention to these Internet stories anyway. They're often exaggerated, pulled out of context or just plain twisted and bent. But I can sure as hell explain the "strange things" happening at my place. And there's no place for such a thing as ghosts.
It'd be cool, sure. He should be more powerful than he was as a boss though, or it'd be a pain to play as him.

What ticks me off are people confusing love with romance. Love is necessary to prevent each individual from falling back into absolute selfishness, while romance is about as useful as a cactus sticking out of a toilet seat. A lack of sexual desires alone is no guarantee for true love at all. Allow me to elaborate... Actually, you have shared very little experiences, not to mention that the ones you did share can't have been very diverse. You can't experience the hardships of a real-life love, nor the joys. It's basically an easy ride, and whether that kind of love can be considered genuine or "true" is very much up to discussion.
I chose "Not serious at all" but on second thought that might have been an exaggeration. What I meant was that I don't give a damn about insults or arguments on the web. I insult people and mock their opinions all the time without caring, and I would merely shrug if they did/do the same to me/mine. I will listen to the woes of my online friends in all seriousness and with respect though. So in a way I do take cyberspace seriously.
