Talk:Saïx

About his real name - do we really need to guess on that? It's possible numbers 7-12 didn't even have the same pattern fro real names as the original 6. The first 6 became nobodies together and banded together from the start, and probably took on those names themselves. Then Roxas was named by Xemnas after finding him. There's not really an explanation of how Saix - Larxene were found or named. Scott ch 19:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * True, but aren't you the one who said: "I for one think some fan theories would be alright, as long as its well-written and not misleading"? Besides, it is a consistent pattern and the appearence of an X in the names of members 7-12 would strongly indicate that they follow the same naming pattern as the rest. And even then, the current setup still implies that it is officially unknown, and that the name given is only a possibility, with no guarantee of being true (I for one hope they will be revealed in KHII: FM+). But sure, if you feel uncomfortable with it, remove it. --Hecko X 21:16, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, there's a difference between semi-common and common fan theories and something an editor just makes up. I don't feel strongly about it, since I would like people to be comfortable with a non-strict content policy, but it might make better mention in the article text than in the infobox.  Scott ch 22:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, and also, the creator of the game said that all the members' names were anagrams of their original names with an X included. On a sidenote, all fan theories are something that just one guy/girl made up. Some theories just catch on better than others. But like I said, if you feel unconfortable with it, remove it. I put it in the box because it seemed as the only logical place to put it. --Hecko X 22:38, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Video
Ugh, this video isn't that great, but it's the best one I could find. Anyone have a better one, preferably without a bunch of like, titling and credits and stuff? Scott ch 03:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Depends, does it have to be English? --Hecko X 00:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It would be nice if it were. I actually found three ok videos, but ended up with this one just kind of out of chance.  This is just my opinion, but what I think makes a great video for a page is this -


 * English
 * No credits (or small credits at the end)
 * Decent quality - preferably not a camcorder recording the TV, for example
 * Not remixed to a different song or with different sounds, especially like comedic
 * A little (or more) of the cutscene before and after
 * A little creative - not just using one limit or spell over and over again

There was a Saix video with all these conditions at one point, but it didn't take long to find, so it must have been taken down by the user. I wish I would've saved it myself, I could just re-upload it... anyway, it doesn't have to be perfect, and others may even disagree on what makes a good video in the article, so who knows? Scott ch 00:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * (all others do not fit one of your requirements). And I think your asking for too much. Most actual fans have the Japanese version, they will credit themselves so people don't steal their videos (and claim them as their own), some (but not all) don't own recording devices other than a camera, they will not record the cutscenes because a) it's a waste of time; and b) It's a boss fight, so why should they record anything other than the boss fight? And finally, they will fight in whatever maner works for them, and if it means repeating a pattern, they sure as hell are gonna repeat a pattern. If you want a video to fit all you requirements, you should make it yourself. It's the only sure-fire way.


 * A good video should be boss-fight only, language doesn't matter, because you can see what is happening, and unless the quality is so bad, than youcan't see what is happening, then camcorders are just fine to use. And are gameplay videos even fair use to begin with? --Hecko X 07:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not really being the iron-fisted hard-to-please person you may be perceiving, since I've "allowed" (note: being a sysop does not make me a content judge in any way) an "imperfect" video already in this article. And while most people do credit their own vids, not all do.  I personally am not shooting for perfection, that's unrealistic on a wiki, I'm jsut looking for the best one out there.  Believe me, if I knew how to record my own, I would, but I don't :(  And I checked with staff a while back about the videos, they said that since the videos aren't hosted on Wikia servers, it was fine.  Scott ch 08:15, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm going to go ahead and put that video in, however, unless you have any objections. Scott ch 08:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine by me. But the responce you got from the staff is, no offence to the person, inane. It's like showing a pirated DVD movie, but saying it's okay, since it's not you who own or burned it, so it's not illegal (or at the very least, that you aren't legally responcible). And then we could have had all the pictures we wanted to have on the wiki, copyrighted or not, we could just upload them at an external server and link directly to them, without having to worry about legal repercussion, because "we" aren't responcible for it. --Hecko X 14:58, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Saix's name link
Anyone know how to type the double dotted "i" in his name Saix? most of the time the links to his page(this article) gets screwed.--N/A
 * Well, on a Danish language setting, there's a keystroke that contains ¨, so you press it, and then press i, which gives you ï. Seeing that it's unlikely you'll install that setting, press and hold Alt, then press 139 on your numpad (!!!), and release Alt. If 139 doesn't work, then it's probably 239 (and be sure you do it on the numpad!!). Else, just copy/paste the letter from his article... --Hecko X 11:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The "139" trick worked, thanks--N/A
 * Sure thing, no worries. --Hecko X 11:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I always just copied that funky "I" from the article title, but I guess this way works too. --BlueHighwind 13:14, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, Saïx's real name is Sai. And yes he is a guy.
 * Wanna bet? XienZo 02:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

yes i do Its Sai
 * What do you base this on? --Hecko X 15:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Trivia Section
Why he is second in command, despite being number VII instead of II is unknown. Possibly because was the first of the members that were not former apprentices to Ansem, or that the number seven is, in mathematical terms, the median (number that marks the center) of the list of numbers from 1 to 13. Another possibility is that the ranking system of the Organization is not a representation of superiority, but rather is simply an indication of when the member joined (this is likely, as Marluxia, the lowly-ranked number XI, was made Lord of Castle Oblivion in Chain of Memories). Also, since he the smartest and strongest member next to Xemnas, he was placed in that position since Xemnas probably felt he was the most reliable member. Another reason, though hugely unlikely, is that is in homage to Final Fantasy VII, arguably the most popular game of the Final Fantasy Series and that, at the time of Kingdom Hearts II's release, thirteen Final Fantasy games had been numbered (side and sequel games not counted). I find the bolded text somewhat over-tilted to fan spectacular. thoughts?--Nelo

I'm gonna say, Saix must have been pretty smart if he's smarter than people who clones random heroes or those carrying a book as their weapon. Possibly 2nd strongest, though there's no proof for that, a bit of implying here and there through the game, but no proof.XienZo 21:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
