For Sylph Admin - What do you think about Master Eraqus and Xehanort?
Well, my most prevailing thoughts on Eraqus are how I want to see the flaws in his belief system stressed in later installments. Itās honestly kinda difficult to get to the point of discussing flaws with Light=Good Darkness=Bad (in the context of the series) when the games only touch on it fleetingly. Looking at you Fairy Godmother with thatĀ āYouāre too young to knowā bullshit on how to fight darkness with something other than light.Ā
On a bit of an aside, cause it was pointed out to me;Ā weāre still not entirely sure what actual Mastery is supposed to entail, is it just down to the whims of the test and teacher? The only marker we have is if they can pass along a Keybladeās power, I think, feel free to fact check that. Iād like to know how much of Terra failing his exam was actual failure and how much was Eraqusās (shockingly picky, next to Xehanort) biases getting in the way.Ā
As for Xehanortā¦.I have a lot of thoughts, heās a pretty interesting villain to say the least and a potentially fascinating character if we can just wade through the vaguery that is Kingdom Hearts. If he werenāt a total dick Iād like to hear more from him about his view of Darkness as something vital to have, not just harnessing it for personal gain (& Norting) cause, again, it felt like they were going for a hint of everything not being literally black and white in terms of morality. Actually, now that I think on it, if we get much more of Young Xehanort in KH3 Iād especially love to see what (if any) good heās done with his power, to balance out that foil thing heās got with Eraqus.
And, as a pair, Iād certainly love to see what kind of friendship they had for Eraqus to let burning his face with DarknessĀ become a byegone. Seriously.
