Line 43:
* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: The [[Ho Yay]] between Axel and Roxas was ''dripping'' after ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and it helped that unlike Sora and Riku, neither of them has a "canon" love interest. The introduction of Xion and the very heavyhanded [[Ship Tease]] with her and Roxas could thus be considered this.
* [[Base Breaker]] / [[Broken Base]]: The "Sue" status of Xion has been a source of great debate amongst fandom. It's generally divided into two camps: {{spoiler|one sees her as a sympathetic ''[[Deconstructed Trope|deconstruction]]'' of a [[Mary Sue|sue]] who experiences a short, painful, and traumatic life before finding out she's expected to kill her best friend and possible [[Love Interest]], and the other sees her as a retcon-added [[Black Hole Sue]] who motivates the actions of the main characters more than she should have, in a forceful or contrived way that wasn't needed when there were other means available}}. Or so it stands. It's controversial enough that you'll get differing opinions on a ''lot'' of things.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Xemnas reinforces his status as this yet again. This game dispels all doubt that basically ALL of the other Organization members were tools to him, and that he wanted all of them either dead or under his complete control by the time he got what he desired so he could reign over all the worlds unrivaled.
* [[Contested Sequel|Contested]] [[Gaiden Game]]: Arguably the most [[Love It or Hate It|divisive]] game of the series.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: After the game had been out for about five minutes, the community came to the consensus that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQKEZI_UhZI "Musique pour la tristesse de Xion"] is the series' best [[Leitmotif]] so far.
Line 50:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Not so much 'fan' nickname as one given by detractors. Her haters have dubbed Xion "Xarmy".
** The reason why requires an [http://fav.me/d1oz5hd explanation].
* [[Freud Was Right]]: The Cave of Wonders doors have rather unfortunate designs on them. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130404034512/http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/halolz-dot-com-kingdomhearts365-2days-agrabah.jpg Inevitably, a demotivator was created in response.]
* [[Game Breaker]]: Saïx in the eyes of some, due to his critical hit ratio and critical bonus being at max.
** Lexaeus as well, because of his extremely high power in his attacks, doing more damage per combo than Saix.
Line 57:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Xemnas again. {{spoiler|Saïx}} attempts to be this too.
* [[Mary Sue]]: Many haters (and some fans) believe Xion to be one. Whether she is or isn't is up to [[Flame War|heavy debate]]. See [[Base Breaker]] for details.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Xemnas's manipulation of Xion and his [[Understatement|utter lack of compassion]] for the rest of the group. <ref>{{spoiler|For those wondering about the [[PotholesPothole]]s: Xenmas plans for ''[[Kill'Em All|all of the other members of the Organization to be dead]]'' by the time he fully awakens Kingdom Hearts, so that he alone receives [[A God Am I|godlike power]].}} This is kind of a [[Player Punch]] for those who played through KHII; {{spoiler|Sora nearly played [[Unwitting Pawn|right into Xenmas's hands]], with Xenmas only losing because Sora wiped him out too!}}
** Saix {{spoiler|attempting to trick Roxas and Xion into a fight to the death.}}
* [[Narm]] / [[Narm Charm]]:
Line 81:
* [[Woolseyism]]: {{spoiler|Near the end of the game, when Roxas looks at Xion and sees Sora's face, Xion uses Japanese Pronouns to indicate that she still thinks of herself as female. The line was restructured into the third person ("This puppet will have to play her part") to get the same point across in translation.}}
