Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[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].

* [[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.

* [[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.}}
