Does anyone ever feel like they're an impostor because they don't look like Ardbert?

Ardbert is suppose to be our reflection. Our Roxas. So it would make sense that you should be of the same species and gender.

However, this is an MMORPG, where you get to play as a Lalafell. So, in reality, it doesn't matter.

Not to mention the high (if Schrodinger's catlike) possibility that other fragments of you-know-who would likely look very different

The bigger issue is that every character who has been shown to potentially be one of "us" (An azem soul/shard of our sundered soul) besides the player character has been MALE. Why are we the only female one?

We've only seen one confirmed shard of Azem besides us and that's Ardbert, so I'm not quite sure why this is an issue at present? Unless you mean Unukalhai? Though we aren't sure who he's a shard of at present. Even the original Azem changes pronouns depending upon what gender your WoL happens to be.

I think Ardbert is an imposter because he doesn't look like me.

They should have made "him" look like us (our character), and we get to name him/her. But that would be a lot more voice work and such.

They could have just had 2, one male one female. Would still have been more work, and he is his own person, so I don't think it really matters.


Souls have no gender.

Not to mention it'd be a spoiler. After all woudne't be suspicious that you get to name a plot relevant NPC?

I'm confused by the topic title. Did you mean Azem, instead of Ardbert?

There's no reason that we should look like Ardbert. Do you think that when something breaks into 14 pieces, all the pieces should look exactly the same?

Admittedly I liked seeing other versions of my WoL in the last Rising event.

I'll just go full scifi on this one and chalk it up to multiverse theory. He's the WoL in his universe. I'm the WoL in a different branch universe =D

There are creative ways around that, Like keeping him/her concealed until the right moment, You don't name them until you would find out his/her name. Like in other FFs, there character says oh my name is... then you name them.
