Okay, I'm so tired of everyone being oblivious to this, and all those stupid Xion fans not even realizing it, so there we go.
Xion was totally created to cater to the fanboys and to sell off merchandise. In less than a few weeks we'll probably get tons of dolls of her and whatever, and the fanboys will drool over that removeable coat. She's a throwaway character made completely for fanservice! It's even lower than retcon, it pisses me off so much!
For anyone wondering, I found a picture of that doll (
here) on the net. Xion was obviously created because Nomura needed something new to fap at while he took extreme amounts of cocaine.
THIS FRANCHISE IS DEAD TO ME
