Who cares if ithe thread is old? Is interesting conversation, IMO. Just to say: I LOVE the Axel/Larxene pairing, my fave fanon. I was surprised at how MUCH Larxene flirted with Axel in Re: CoM, since I never expected it (wasn't even there in the GBA version. Makes me wonder what Nomura was thinking). I know Axel is as hot as his power (and attractive, oh so very much), but darn Larxene xP. I swear, it almost seemed like she wanted to go under his cloak and rub her hands over his chest or something (which I would have done if I was in her place, can't miss a chance after all). Either way, I just thought it was adorable for those small moments. I just think Larxene looks and fits better with Axel overall. Red and Yellow. Fire and Lightning. Masochist and Sadist (kidding! :laughing-smiley-004). It gives off a kind of compability: same, but yet different. Got it memorized? *gets shot* Usually, I wouldn't like a fanon pairing this much, but what got me to like Larxel is, despite Axel's nonchalance to Larxene in the game, they had chemistry, the suggestive touches playing a part. I don't know if I'm alone in this though. And is not simple chemistry, but actual sexual chemistry, which is a first for KH (and more so than Sora/Kairi and Roxas/Naminé can't ever get to). I don't know whether it was intentional, or Axel and Larxene are the kind of pair that it just comes to them naturally, but it was HAWT. Just by their words, tones, facial expressions, etc. Just pure chemistry. Those two just have that "click", you know. A perfect example of what would have been an entertaining love/hate relationship, which we need, compared to the sappyness of the other two couples we know. Axel and Larxene are actually capable of having flaws, moreso being Nobodies. Plus, as in Jiminy's Journal said, she's in "good terms with Axel". Not only can they have deep conversations (about the heart) and share things, it feels like Axel is the only one who can be patient with her personality and actions. Like saying something witty back or teasing her, for example, that scene after she came from her first battle with Sora: Larxene: Whew...throwing the battle back there really wore me out. Axel: Throwing the battle? Looks to me like you plain old lost the battle. Larxene: H-How dare you! You just don't appreciate the finer nuances of - . Or he could easily brush it off. Basically: Axel is perfect for her. Period. *** I notice the Marluxia/Larxene pairing is quite voted on, but for me it just doesn't cut it. Larxene does nothing at all to suggest anything, and they merely act just as that; comrades working together to achieve a goal. I think Larxene even shows respect. The only thing I could find to pair them up, is just because they're partners with the same crime, girl and boy, a King and his Queen to rule in power, and Marluxia gives off this attractive sexual manlyness (don't ask), but other than that, I simply don't see it. To me they seem boring, kinky, but boring nonetheless.
Axel? 21-22. Tops. Is the same with Demyx. And the same with Larxene, who definitely looks 20-21. Actually, I'm shocked that people would put her so old. In Re: CoM, there are even times when she looks like a little girl. Axel, Demyx, Larxene. Those three are in the same early 20s group, cool enough.Fire, Water, and Lightning. Uh...coincidence?
Geez, at least Axel (somebody should really put some of the Novel things in a thread) and Roxas get to live on with their Somebodies and have a chance at another life, and even though is not them walking, they're still inside. I feel more sorry for the Org. members who perhaps didn't get that chance and were lost to darkness and became nothing. For best, I could only feel bad for Roxas and Axel (which I didn't really), but they don't need to be saved. They already are. But is expected I guess :(, Roxas and Axel are more popular.
Hell no. Finally, someone who also doesn't think so. He was giving off pure testorone each freakin' time he appeared, which just made him unbearably attractive to me...like a manly-type attractive (for example, Axel is the I-want-to-touch-you-and-f***-you-so-bad attractive, pardon the French, while Marluxia is just...businessmen attractive; poised, clean, serious, essence of....superiority that's...thrilling). And he has a way better body than Axel anyway. Is like the whole Zexion is emo because of his hair. Like the scene that I commented from above, in that particular video, I found him smug, cool, calm and collected, mocking Vexen...(then again, who doesn't mock Vexen?). Point is, he has a funny bone in him. That's not emo. Plus, on Marluxia again: 1. Flowers are considered quite manly in Japan. Or at least not sexist in any way. 2. It's not simply "flower petals" that he spews, is sakura petals, which represent...DEATH. 3. Pink is the color of the sakura petals, honoring the fallen warrior. 4. He has the power of nature (that has life and death). He has a scythe. 5. He's the sexy and gorgeous version of the Grim Reaper with skin. ****** And now, forward on to my answer. I'll do one. Xemnas: Cold, goal-oriented, smart, serious, ruthless, deluded, knack for eternal speeches... I like a lot your answers. Though a bit hyper (yet, I shouldn't be speaking), you got them down pat, IMO, especially Larxene. I was going to describe her, but you said it all, I would have just added arrogant, physically skilled, and playful. And you proved a point on Marluxia. See? DARKNESS. Gay my a**. A bit metro maybe, but never a homosexual. And hell, I don't even care for Marluxia.
I don't care much for Axel. Like Roxas, it was said in the novel he got to be whole again, and found his way back, probably even gained a little bit of heart because of Roxas. So there's nothing to be sad about. Unlike the rest of them, at least we know he gets a second chance. And of course, who cares about the others if Axel is there in all his glory? Zexion should have never been killed, for instance, especially the way he did. He was mysterious and interesting as a character, wanting you to know more. First, it was his weapon, and know people want to know what the hell is in his book. And from the new FM+ cutscene with Xigbar, I found him a even cooler character, I love the way he spoke to the Freeshooter and mocked Vexen (then again, who doesn't mock Vexen?). He wasn't meant as a character to be on a game like CoM, he was meant for bigger things, like KH2, or to be seen more. And so was Larxene. A wasted kickass female...for once in KH's life, they had to get rid of the only amazing kickass female who can cremate your a** to Kingdom Hearts and back. Such a fresh air from Kairi and Naminé that ended too fast. Being the only girl in Org., she needed way more time and way more development. In fact, I would have liked to see her opinion living with 12 other men. And seriously, even if she was quite a b***h, she wasn't THAT horrible. There were worse things she could have done, and if need be, it will be easy to tweak her character to a good side. If they got Axel from being the cruel a**hole we all know he was in CoM (not the remake, cause they redid to make it seem like he was laidback to make more sense for his change), to what he is today in KH2, I doubt Larxene will be such a challenge. At least she didn't kill her comrades with nothing but a gleeful smirk on her face (though I'm sure she would've enjoyed Vexen's). And her death got to me. It was probably her VA pulling such a cute, helpless, perfect sad tone, but it damn well got to me. On top of that I found her to be naïve and playful, a nice character and concept overall. Damn, Nomura, what the hell is freakin' wrong with you? She was amazing, and wonderful in physical fighting, she literally picked up and threw Repliku like a rag doll, and kicked Sora 2 times, one being very fatal if Donald didn't heal him. Dear, what a freakin' waste. Demyx, will be next. Goodness gracious, WHAT did the poor kid ever do? He wasn't evil, he was quite the oddball, and sweet. I'm sure if Sora would have given him a chance they would have never fought. And from what I got in the novel, the rest ignore him ;_;. I bet when he was sent to Hollow Bastion and Olympus Coliseum, they probaby never expected for him to make it through those two times or even cared. And to add salt to wound, they think him as a wimp. I don't even know what got him to be in Org. XIII, it felt as if he didn't belong there, not because of his fighting skills, but because of his innocence, per se. I will save him first above the rest. Those are what I would save firstmost. I would've have put Marluxia, but he didn't catch my attention as well as the other two did, and he didn't seem so pitiful. Honestly, I just would have preferred the Org. XIII to live on. Xigbar, Luxord, Saïx, everyone. I didn't like the way the game presented it. Is like they all had to die because it was what winning the game and the plot demanded, all the members and them wanting hearts be damned.
Honestly, Cloud and Aerith are a better couple. They're just so lovely, and just fit. And when you thought they might hook up one day Sephiroth comes along. It's sad that Cloud couldn't let go of her death in AC. Though I'm not going to explain why and explain my reasons for why I like this pairing because I know what's going to happen next, and I don't have the time for it. And I never understood the Aerith hate, the girl did nothing to deserve it. I chose NONE. Because, as much as I love Sora/Kairi and Roxas/Naminé, they're just...too sweet. That's the reason why I was so attracted to Axel/Larxene, they have some sexual chemistry that I felt in the videos, have the love/hate thing going on, and their banter in the manga just enforced it, and is much more interesting despite being fanon....I think. Can't tell from Larxene's side. And as for Mickey/Minnie is the same sweetness, so I just go for Donald/Daisy better.
One of the best fighters? I would tend to disagree. He was too easy in CoM, Re: CoM, and KH2. Not to mention his data self isn't that challenging. His fire element and the way he uses it is awesome though. Anyway, for elemntal purposes, Demyx has the upperhand, but for physical fighting and brains, Axel has the lead. Axel would win in the end. Having the advantage isn't always great if your opponent can think of a tactic to get through it. And Axel is a brilliant guy, admittingly. Street-wise in the manipulative sense anyway. The book-worm types are Zexion and Vexen.
I figured what they changed about Axel and Xigbar (which were both useless to tweak anyway), but I never knew that they changed Sora's line. The "I'll kill you!" line is way better and makes more sense. Geez, America is too damn protective, and over the dumbest things. Little kids aren't stupid. And in the end, they're already corrupted anyway once they hit grammar school, if not already. Naminé didn't make him forget about Kairi. What she did is replace herself with her, scrambled his memories and tricked him to make it look like she was Kairi, the important one, while the real one was only a friend. Why do you think she went on about her only being Kairi's shadow? Why do you think there were scenes where Kairi and her kept switching, especially in the end? Anyway, all those you listed are positive aspects of a personality, none of it are negative. Strong-willed, brave, etc.? Those are positive. Except for she being impulsive for once. I don't agree that Kairi is a complete Mary-Sue, but she's on the borderline, and now more that she's got a Keyblade just because. She was a damsel-in-distress in KH1, and even though it wasn't her fault, she still was, and in KH2 she tried to shake it off, only to get caught again, and saved by Naminé this time. Naminé isn't that much of a Mary-Sue either. Yeah, she's good, quiet, shy, very pretty, Roxas' semi-love interest, and wants to help, but she has also made her mistakes. She was lonely (and selfish, possibly even jealous, wanting someone to be there for her just like Sora is to Kairi), played with Sora's memories, a loss on what to do with Roxas even though she tried, questioning her existence (at least in the novel), and feels guilt. This is the EXACT reason why I somehow like Naminé better, and definitely Larxene and all her non-Mary-Sueness and awesomeness (I wanted to bash Nomura's head in for killing her in CoM, as she deserved to be in KH2, or at least deserved better. And is stupid for Axel to be the only survivor in Castle Oblivion anyway, is suspicious to the bone, and makes Xemnas look stupid). Is amazing how Kairi's Nobody has more depth than the real one with a heart. Nomura shouldn't have really made Kairi a Princess Of Heart, no darkness at all, because perhaps it might have been different. I only hope that Aqua is different, since is her we'll be dealing with next.
Rinoa. Plain and simple.
They're all on my signature xP. I love Sora/Kairi the most, but I went for Axel/Larxene, since they have the least votes. If only they are semi-canon like Sora/Kairi and Roxas/Naminé, we needed a love/hate relationship in KH. I swear they would have been the most amusing thing ever. Shame...
I don't hate Kairi, but I'll sure as HELL will never pick her if she's a keyblade wielder or in your party, unless you don't have a choice. To me, Kairi isn't the fighting type of girl with her giggles and little outfits, no matter how strong she wants to be or how Nomura wants to create a link for whatever reason. My first impression of the girl, will remain my first impression. If she had some badassness like Larxene or Tifa first off, then maybe I would have believed it. But she didn't. Strong emotionally? Yes. Strong physically? Heck no! She looks freakin' fragile. I could give her a Larxene inspired kick and she'll break. I swear... Then again, a Larxene inspired kick is too harsh. She was never a keyblade wielder, and to me, she never will be. Seriously, out of nowhere she just happens to get a Keyblade? And to hell with Nomura if he plans for Kairi to suddenly be an expert Keyblader. That would put the cream on the top on her already Mary-Sue application with people. Then I would really hate her. I want her to do something, but it doesn't mean she needs to be a wielder to do it. There are other ways to promote her bravery and inner strength. Like what she was doing in KHII pre-Keyblade. Odds against her, no weapon, but still went forward. Hell she could have gotten a weapon, a wand even, but it had to be a Keyblade, which doesn't fit her, honestly. I can't see her do anything Sora, Roxas, and Riku do, without what they learned during these two years (except Roxas, he got it from Sora). I'd rather have Aqua, who from the very beginning we see she is depicted as active with experience, despite her centering more on Keyblade magic. And Kairi can't be a mage. Because, in reality, she isn't, she has no natural experience. Aerith was. Rinoa was. Yuna was. Kairi wasn't. Unless she somehow manages to get power that way. With realism, and no plot devices.
And Larxene as a partner. Also, Marluxia was all the bit of a coward he was when hiding behind Naminé when Axel sought to eliminate his existence. Only someone weak would use a female to shield himself/herself. Can't say I respect him for that.
As we have all seen, by Sora and Roxas in CGI, that even though the hair is spiky, is soft and suave. It flows with the wind, looks easy to run through, etc. I'm positive Axel's is the same thing, and can easily bend like normal hair. My hair question is Larxene's. How does she get keep up those antennae, as cute as they are?
Radiant Garden, you mean xP. She said Destiny Islands was her home, she's happy there. Is where she grew up, you know. But she wouldn't mind visiting sometimes. That's how close to living there that she's going to get. Besides, she has NOTHING there. Then again, her parents...
We've had ENOUGH of Axel, thank you very much. Let the other COOLER Org. members get screentime.
The ironic part of it is that Sora looks like a spawn of BOTH Cloud and Aerith. In all seriousness, if they ever had a baby, it will be Sora.
Simply put: Axel went on a fun killing spree.
That's it. In the KH world anyway, cause in all honesty, all the yaoi pairings are fangirls' fantasies. Same for yuri. I especially, OH MY GOODNESS, especially detest AkuRoku, more than Sora/Riku. Not only is AkuRoku gay, but is also pedophilia. And don't come up with crap like Axel is a teenager because both Saix and, I think, Diz used "man" when referring to him. I'm telling you, for REAL yaoi, go look at Card Captor Sakura, Tsubasa, or any yaoi based animé or any that has a CANON one. Sora/Roxas Kairi/Naminé Is also out of the question. Like everyone said, you're basically dating yourself...which is totally demented. WTF? That is all.
Saïx - Aïs (Agreed) Axel- Ale Demyx - Edym (Sounds like Eddie, which would be normal. Fitting for him to me) Luxord - Rould (Why? Simple: Roulette = In a Casino = Gambling = What Luxord does) Marluxia - Ramiual Larxene - Arlene/Relena (Both are pretty and nice. Though I prefer Relena since Arlene is pretty used and a common name. The only Relena I know is in Gundam Wing)
If anything, I would like Nomura put put out a packet of Org. XIII episodes, AC graphics style. Of coruse, Sora would make his cameos and whatnot, but it will be a perfect way to show the going-ons in the Org. from beginning to end, and how they all act when together. The novels are good, but is mostly reading. I need to see it move. And I need to see if Axel would look like AC Reno just to quench my curiosity. Imagine seeing the Org. XIII that way, it will be awesome. Hell, even an animé would do. There's really nothing you can do with Sora without putting alot of stuff in, and I'm sure that many KH fans will go nuts seeing as the Org. are extremely popular. It reminds me of the Turks (which I think is the point, I can't think of Org. XIII without having a thought of Turks in there), and for some insane reason, Reno and Axel seem to be the most popular to the audience in their respective Organizations. Redhead obsession? Or maybe is their charisma....
