Do you think that people wouldn't be so quick to judge Xion and call her a "Sue" if she was a boy? (Of course in that case it'd be "Stu", but whatever)
The reason people are crying 'Sue' is more because of how she's marketed actually. That and how she's being written that is giving her that title.
In KH1 if you go for all the Reports there's a report that mentions the first apprentices that served Ansem, by name. By the time KH: CoM came out because a few of those characters are introduced it automatically connects. At the same time Namine' is always in the background, there are a few times when she's up front and center stage in the advertisements.
Never once is Xion mentioned in any game. Even after the Final Mix versions were released there was no new information about a possible girl. In fact the whole 'Organization XIII' theme had each slot filled. Now here's this girl who just happens to show up and is never mentioned before. The Advertisements even play her up. The most recent one was nothing 'but' her. For all the 'you get to play as any of the members of the Organization' hoopla that they show off, there's only about 2 scenes where they even interact. It's 'all' focused on her.
It's like reading Yugioh Fan fiction where a Sue writes in a New Sennen item. There's only Seven Items in Canon. But now there's Eight to justify a new girl with an Item.
She's being written like one of those Sue Characters. Her summary looks more like:
Xion, an Unknown Nobody, with the Powers of the Keyblade, and with mysterious ties to Roxas and Axel. Comes forth from the Darkness to help ultimately lead these two onto the path that will Awaken Sora from his sleep.
The game is about Roxas and his time in the Org. 'Not' about Xion and her super special awesome presence.
And even after that look at the trailer for Birth By Sleep. Where is Aqua? Unlike Xion who is never mentioned to be part of a trio or acknowledged even. Aqua is in the very first trailer for Birth By Sleep. Now she doesn't even show 'up' in any of the non battle scenes. It's like he's forgotten what 'balance' is and is shoving all the female spotlight on Xion and forgetting Aqua.
my avatar is the marketing department. Really, I'm exited for more day-to-day stuff about the Organization, being all evil and stuff. I mean, playing as villians is FUN!! But now it's Xion this, and Xion that. Eh... I will stop this rant RIGHT HERE! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
