I forgot about this until now but I saw a comment regarding Marluxia in the new trailer and why his eyes weren’t yellow and that if he’s connected to the new Organization, why would he work with a group he sought to overthrow originally.
My theory is that it isn’t Marluxia we’re seeing here, it’s Lauriam and he’s not directly involved with Xehanort’s plans the same way Xigbar and Saix are, he’s more of a wild card (a wild flower card if you will) and is involving himself with the new Organization simply because their motivations align, it’s sort of like what Axel did in CoM and KH2 only this time, we know he’s a villain. He will play as many sides as he chooses as long as it gets him the desired result.
I mean if both CoM and Chi are anything to go by, he will kill and deceive if it’ll help him get something and odds are, if Sora hadn’t appeared when he did in CoM (or if Marluxia had the foresight to not involve Sora in his plans until a bit later), he might have succeeded in a few more things before eventually falling.
Besides, Marluxia has always had too much of a dominant personality to allow himself to be taken over by another force so there’s no way he’d be on board with the idea of Xehanort implant his soul into him. Something tells me that if he survives to the end of the game, we’ll have a scene where Marluxia attempts to stage a coup against Xehanort and is either taken down by him or by us, either way.
when your bff has called an obvious claymore a zweihander 3 times in as many days, and you’re starting to wonder if it’s an elaborate plot to piss you off or if he’s just that dense, and both options are equally as likely to be true
