rionaleonhart: kingdom hearts: riku, blindfolded and smiling slightly. (we'll be the darkness)
I'm not sure I'm really qualified to make this poll, as I haven't played 358/2 Days (and, as I do not possess a DS, I don't suppose I'll be playing it in the near future), but a discussion on [livejournal.com profile] burningvigor's journal reminded me of my absurd love of Luxord leaping from the few beautiful seconds of him in Kingdom Hearts II, and so!

('A significant interest' is rather vague wording, isn't it? And possibly inaccurate, as I'm just selecting the ones in which I take any interest at all. I can remember very little about Larxene, after all, as it's been a while since I played Chain of Memories, but I have a vague sense that I thought she was sort of awesome when I was playing it, and apparently that's good enough for me. So I suppose I'm just rubbish at making polls.)


[Poll #1477662]


Apparently there is a fourteenth member in 358/2 Days or something? I am afraid she is not included here, in part because I am not familiar with her but mostly because the idea of a fourteenth member of an organisation named Organization XIII is just too silly for words. Where is your sense of numerical elegance, Square?


I really didn't understand the fandom obsession with Organization XIII for a long time; I was just thinking, 'yes, all right, Axel's sort of cool and Demyx is sort of adorable, but most of these characters barely appear. Why the mad profusions of love?'

And then I replayed Kingdom Hearts II and, lo and behold, found myself a little bit smitten with Luxord. HE HAS PERHAPS A DOZEN LINES, BUT THEY ARE A BEAUTIFUL DOZEN LINES. And I'd like to get more acquainted with him, now that the release of Days has introduced new canon, but between the cost and my course I cannot possibly justify buying a DS at this point.

Sigh.

(Am I breaking up the tide of entries about something few of you watch with an entry about a game even fewer of you play? I am not sure I am doing this 'not boring everyone senseless' thing correctly.)
