While the Red Nocturnes did represent the "Fire" family of spells, I think the Crimson Jazz were meant to represent the "Flare" family, which isn't super common in KH, but is a pretty big deal in your Finals Fantasy. Flare tends to be a very powerful endgame spell, which explains why the Crimson Jazz are so beefy and only show up late game.

I would like to note that Hot Rods as well as their Rememberance counterparts are incredibly weak to Blizzard Magic, which can pretty much one shot them in the later game once your magic is strong enough. This is actually noted in the Journal entry for the Rememberance version, and I'm pointing it out here because it's really helpful in skipping their invincible phase if you do it right. For some reason nobody ever points this out so I'm doing it. EDIT: It appears only the Rememberance version have the Blizzard weakness specifically... for some reason, but Magic still works decently well on both of them either way. It is always good to experiment.

[@IGSA101]

They also take thunder pretty poorly.

[@KodasGarden]

Hmm not sure if Hot Rods specifically are, because I just tried this trick and they took chip damage from blizzard magic

[@GL_099]

@@KodasGarden According to the wiki, it seems only the Remeberance version is weak to blizzard. I had distinctly remembered it working on normal ones too, but it has been a long time. I could also just have had very high magic at that point. I'll check for myself on my next playthrough. Sorry for the confusion.

Something I'd like to add about the Shaman + Living Bone: if a Shaman and a Living Bone are in the same area, the Shaman can actually mount the Living Bone, therefore powering it up. This essentially never occurs, as the only instance in which they both appear in the same area as separate Heartless is in the Elephant Graveyard after defeating Scar, but before 1000 Heartless. It's actually kinda cool and it's a shame you don't usually see it in a typical playthrough.

Neo Shadow's reaction command is actually a reference to one of the coolest parts to the secret Deep Dive video where Roxas does a stylistic air combo on the neo shadows as they jump after him.

I think Crimson Jazz could actually be the embodiment of flare magic (despite typically being non elemental) it’s the largest and most powerful of the prismatic melodies similar to flare being the most powerful black magic, so it doesn’t break the pattern as much as you might think

[@andrewgarrett1356]

I honestly had no idea that the Samurai we're commanded by Roxas, or at least affiliated with him in some way. It makes a great deal of sense seeing as Roxas was the only swordsman amongst the original Organization XIII (not counting Xion). Before the Ninja was introduced in Kingdom Hearts III, I had just assumed that the Dancers we're Larxene's minions because they we're the Nobodies that anatomically appeared female and because of how fast and agile they we're. Of course, it never occurred to my dumb ass that Square Enix obviously wouldn't have created Nobody minions for the Organization members that died in Chain of Memories. The idea that the Dancers are actually Demyx's backup dancers makes more sense and is just so funny and perfect to me. That being said, is anyone else kind of pissed that Vexen, Lexaeus, and Zexion didn't get their own Nobody minions? I mean Maluxia got the Reapers and Larxene got the Ninja. Here's what I think their minions would be. Vexen's minions would be the Guardians. They'd wield shields that they could merge with, and they could freeze you in place with a power strike. You could perform a Reaction Command called Shield Break right before they launched their power strike to temporarily destroy their shields, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Lexaeus' minions would be the Tanks. They'd wield tomahawks which they could use to pummel opponents similar to the Berserkers. They could throw their tomahawks at you Strike Raid style, and you could retaliate with a Reaction Command called Throwback, which sends the tomahawk back at them. Zexion's minions would be the Scholars. They'd wield books similar to Akashic Records, and fight by using magic traps and pages from their books as weapons. If you parried one of their physical attacks, you could steal their book with the Reaction Command Bookkeeper, and blast them with a torrent of pages with the Reaction Command Page Turner. How cool would that be?
