I dont know why but knowing Xion comes in after Roxas gets knocked out makes me feel weirdly emotional. Like a somber and sweet feeling.

[@patricksheehan5505]

One thing that always bothers me with KH2 is how Mickey just shows up for some fights outta nowhere. It makes sense from a game dev standpoint for the earlier fights and some that the devs thought that could be tough for players. But this just makes sense, it might have been unintentional but the fact you had it be Beast's Castle that was primarily shown an important place to the both of them.. I haven't had a mod showcase make me cry before but damn. "I'll protect you" and her being able to finish bosses just chefs kiss. 358/10 project.

[@kmpgos4158]

I must say, Xion fly like a Butterfly, sting like a bee, and she loves pushing everyone around! She could literally move the enemy a kilometer away with her combos alone. Jokes aside, Xion appearing whenever Roxas is defeated to protect him is amazing, and it would make sense. Since Roxas did not merge with Sora, it could happen that Xion was freed from Sora and became part of Roxas, so whenever Roxas is defeated, she appears and protect him, and return to him whenever she revive him. Now the only thing that is missing is for Roxas to be able to summon Samurai Nobodies to be his temporary party members ( Roxas in this mod never have any ally in his party, so summoning of Samurais would fix it ), and maybe Axel becoming a party member in later part of the game. Great work, keep it up!

[@ARCEUS493ZELDA]

xion didnt have to do shanyu dirty like that but we loved her for it................. absolutely beautiful

[@domoru5264]

She had to tho he nearly killed the guy she loves now before you call bs there’s a secret report that was written by xion in 358/2 days and she stated that she loves Roxas and when I read that I cried all over again bc I realize she sacrificed herself out of love so Roxas could live on

[@Daltonisntabot]

​@@domoru5264 Is it this one? "Riku gave me this time. Axel told me to spend it thinking for myself. The Organization is determined to erase either me or Roxas. They'll never allow us to coexist. I love Roxas and Axel. I'm sure Saïx would scoff at that. Call it a trick of my artificial memories. But the time I spent on that clock tower was real.I wish the three of us could stay together, just like this, forever. But I have to end this. I'll never forget today's sunset. Even if Roxas and Axel do, I won't forget." Feels more like 'I deeply care for my two friends' than in love. Of course the three love each other, they did spend weeks together. We can't forget Axel was also mentioned so I feel the idea she loves Roxas as more than a best friend is a little bit of a stretch. I honestly don't ship Roxas with anyone, but you do you. We both can agree these three should be happy at least.

[@biggreen1456]

The use of Xion referencing her data fight in 3 is so cool! I love it!

[@meancrank9039]

I love how far KH2 modding has come! Iirc, Xion’s animations are from Melody of Memory? It’s amazing to see them implemented into the engine like this!

[@kinlyki]

The animations seem to come from Kingdom Hearts 3

[@meancrank9039]

@@kinlyki seriously? That’s really impressive backporting! Kudos

[@inplane9970]

@@meancrank9039 All of her animations are from her Data boss and party member models. Pretty impressive considering it's from an entirely different engine!

[@MisterPersonSiR_]

it still amazes me to see what is possible within the confines of the ps2 architecture, this is some insane work

[@domoru5264]

omg Xion coming in to protect her man! dude i have been following your work on this since the beginning and i recently got my hands on a PC and i am really looking forward to playing this! words cannot begin to express how blown away i am by this

[@sirensintel]

PERIOD

[@Genindraz]

This is absolutely incredible. I enjoy the toned down effects, the weapons and combos are already stylish enough without the effects being overly flashy. As for the playable Xion, it looks great and somewhat viable, unlike Mickey.

[@Buffbuffrules]

Xion coming in to save Roxas is just adorable! Also the amount of destruction you can do with Xion is awesome! No-one’s gonna want to mess with Roxas now! Honestly Xion is like a million times better than Mickey, because xaldin literally killed Mickey because he’s way too slow!!! It’s so annoying! Xion on the other hand annihilates Xaldin! You do not hurt her bf unless you want to feel her anger! Also Xion saving Roxas makes so much more sense than Mickey saving Sora! I literally asked my sister why doesn’t Riku or Kairi save Sora because they’re closer friends to Sora! Also if Mickey insists on helping you he shouldn’t just help you once in a blue moon! Also when Mickey stops showing up to help it’s so hard to get him to show up again! But I digress, you did an amazing job on this! Have a great day :)

[@HarrisonWilliamsAnimation]

Holy Diver being Xion's RC is fuckin' amazing

[@onwithmarie6769]

xion replacing mickey is fucking dope, I love that it actually lets you kill the boss with her too it seems

[@kayecruiser]

I just got the notification and put EVERYTHING I was doing on hold to watch this. Time for some sick ass shit, boys. Let's go.

[@PKshockwave]

ASTRAL CHAIN MUSIC SPOTTED INSTANT LIKE

[@mrxionpetra9257]

MY TEARS OF HAPPINESS WON'T STOP! MY BABY XION IS BACK!!

[@mobgabriel1767]

"roxas go, you are just deadweight!" -xion,probably

[@JustALaddd]

This is most definitely the greatest Roxas mod out there

[@ericraululyeetusdelyeetus5028]

>Holy Diver That reference is not lost on me. Honestly, that song could absolutely work in a situation like that.

[@squiori_hikari]

SLAYYYYY XION

[@NumberJ42]

Damn this looks even crazier than the previous build also XION!!!

[@runemaster8656]

Such a beautiful reimagining of the roxas DM for Xion. This community never fails to impress.

[@AverageAlbertX]

YO!!!!!!!! This is amazing!!!!! Originally, I would've wanted her to be a party member for the final fight against Xemnas. But this just rocks

[@deadwalkin12345]

God damn dude each time I think this couldn't get better 👑💖

[@o.shinobi]

Incredible work! Xion's light dash looks super satisfying 🔥

[@chasetheend]

These updates never cease to make my day!

[@timothyliew1989]

thank god for your update! love your work man its so cool

[@mdgamer2275]

I've Been Waiting for this

[@Silvio_Nightwind]

Bro I am so happy and honored to be able to support you and what you're doing. The Alpha was amazing and I can promise you when the Beta is ready, I'll be ready to stream it and make combo videos once again. Keep on keeping on NMC Guy, you're doing great!

[@Xetsubou]

This look really awesome and I love KH I'm a little depressed and lonely but this will help me I think thanks for making this mod

[@johangelrodriguez6835]

The highlight of my day

[@Drakenveil738]

Nice to see her back in action. Looking forward to what everyone behind the project will come up with next!

[@therecusant]

Looks great ! Love that you toned down the fx 🙏🏼

[@Reveur_Lucide]

Someone's gonna make a whole remaster of 358/2 in KH2. I feel it.

[@juiceboxv2759]

The game looks visually incredible with this mod! in the beginning of the video I had to do a double take to see if it was kh3 or 2 and throughout it I continued to be in awe of the visuals and how well done the animation is. Watching this project over the course of time which feels like forever is truly amazing! I cannot wait until I someday get a pc so I can experience it myself!

[@ephemer3968]

This is astonishing. From the effects and Xion’s reveal as your savior was amazing. The effects that she used were also beautiful (would like to see this version of her take down Riku back in Days). All in all, excellent work! Looking forward to more updates!

[@windwaker2094]

Xion aint pulling any punches when she sees Roxas knocked out

[@astralflan]

7:57 I see you being on beat with the music Watching this mod evolve over time has been a blast. Keep up the good work

[@FZone96Official]

Okay, that Xion rescue wasn't on my Bingo Card! AND she can finish bosses unlike Mickey?! That's so sick!

[@Sensaki_CariagaZt]

A comeback and yall cooked good!!!

[@NeoDeity]

You did not just add my favorite character!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@keylockmvp]

the astral chain music hits so good here.

[@mr.unknown5999]

Can't wait to see the other forms finished

[@WJD7119]

Absolute fucking passion project, you and the team are slaughtering it.

[@karmiccrotal3480]

Absolutely GOATED for playing the Astral Chain Ark Mall music

[@gothmedli]

coooooll beeeaannsss

[@nanachilover7289]

Ok i already knew that project nobody may cry was gonna be a banger mod project but now seeing xion being added to it as the character who can either save roxas or be broken in terms of her amazing combo palate truly justifies the title of this vid,a forgotten friend truly has returned

[@Kiteki98]

OH MY GAWDDDD YESSSS 100 out of 10 points. I love this mod more than anything holyyyyyyy

[@EdwardTheAlchemist1]

so frikin awesome ♡ :3

[@ArcueidBrunestuddo]

Adding Xion is ingenious. Now all we need is Axel as a party member.

[@CharlieofLight]

I didn' expected Xion as a substitute of Mickey, but its really cool.

[@spicyspaceman]

ITS HEREEEE

[@BreakingIddy]

So sick bro

[@GaijinController]

NEW ENTRY YOOOOO!!!!

[@blackwarrior3115]

Wow this Is perfect

[@kerozine819]

Xion!!! Lets go, she looks too OP but also fun to play 😁

[@ItsLeah43]

Having actually played the game makes these devlogs a lot more fun to watch, I have context on how the changes will actually affect the feel of the game a lot more! I was always wondering if you'd do anything with Mickey in the future, I half-expected you to just disable mickey at some point but this is so much cooler, It's a shame that it can only happen on a handful of fights, I might die on purpose a few times just to try it out some more.

[@AlistorTheWolf]

A Xion rescue mechanic! This is awesome!

[@IchiroSuzuki97]

The scream I screamed when I saw xion…

[@L1v1ngDeAdGirl]

I'm not crying, you're crying

[@DavrenHelsmere]

this is my favorite mod of all time. that's it, that's all i got to add.

[@f5203]

Kinda wanna play this, but prefer to wait till it's absolute final release. Soo... Fingers crossed 🤞

[@ArcadeTheatre]

Spicy

[@AyrKid]

It be awesome to hear Roxas say "Nobody may cry" as the title screen opens up

[@metalmagerin3]

I haven't been this hype since seeing a new smash direct. Now we know exactly who I'm gonna have ice cream with.

[@thewolface2339]

ARK mall(ambient) from astral chain. Found out from the original vid.

Xion is crazy. Can't wait to. Play with her

[@pancakeboyclint2261]

Ahhhhhh Playable Xion LETS GOOOOOO

[@GreeveeE]

DUUUUDE, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I would *kill* for a standalone Xion over Mickey!!

[@ChristianSedaPlays]

Something about this era of gaming just hits different. It wasn’t all hyper realism and more about the actual game .

I wonder if AI voiced roxas could use more words during his taunt

Is this mod ever getting a port to the PC version? Just curious. No pressure here grateful for this regardless.

[@StarKurusu]

probably "dummy reaction command"

[@Blizzard0fOz93]

@@StarKurusu I’m going to look that up, now. Don’t want to bombard you with questions , lol.

[@blade8424]

Is it me or am I just realizing that Roxas is voiced by the same actor who voices Sora? O.o They both sound the same while performing combos etc. imagine if Roxas had his own game. I know he did in Days. But if he had his own game in general other than Days in Unreal Engine. Would be interesting. Love the mod. Keep it up! Wish you could play it on PC version tho. Lol. :( :)

[@shiroutheherotraceon3313]

They have different voice actors. Sora is voiced by Haley Joel Osment. Roxas is voiced by Jesse McCartney.
