Part 100: Xigbar

I'm not doing this in any particular order, so today it's Xigbar's turn to show off.



None: Stand-Alone

These gearless weapons are very unremarkable.



Skill Gear: Killer Bee
Technical Gear: Stingray
Duel Gear: Counterweight
(Transforms your weapon and allows you to string together faster, longer ground combos.)

The designs are kinda hard to see because of the DS' low resolution.



Loaded Gear: Precision
Chrono Gear: Dual Head
Phantom Gear: Bahamut
(Transforms your weapon, enabling your attacks to reach a wide area.)

A Final Fantasy reference that's not a Moogle? In Kingdom Heart Days? (Yes, I know there's Omega Weapon last update.)



Lift Gear: Gullwing
Nimble Gear: Blue Frame
(Transforms your weapon into one that performs very well in midair.)

The group in X-2 is "Gullwings", so close enough, I guess.



Wild Gear: Star Shell
Ominous Gear: Sunrise
(Transforms your weapon and boosts your Magic to give it a lot more power.)

Fun fact: The gear we equip determines the number of bullet we have. Not that it matters since you shouldn't be using Xigbar if you're playing solo.



Valor Gear: Ignition
Fearless Gear: Armstrong
Prestige Gear: Hard-Boiled Heat
(Transforms your weapon into one with higher Strength.)

The color scheme reminds me of Shadow the Hedgehog. It's appropriate that the thing itself is a gun.



Crisis Gear: Diablo Eye
Omega Gear: Double Tap
(Transforms your weapon into one that offers high Strength and ground combo speed.)

Aren't these just recolor of Technical Gear/Duel Gear?



Hazard Gear: Stardust
(Transforms your weapon into one that offers high Magic and longer aerial combos.)

The front part of the arrowguns seems to be getting more elaborate.

And yes, Xigbar's weapons are arrowguns. Just look at the intro.



Rage Gear: Energy Muzzle
(Transforms your weapon into one that offers high Strength and combo reach.)

I think it wouldn't be out of place if the front parts' designs are used as Vexen's shields.



Champion Gear: Crime & Punishment
Ultimate Gear: Cupid's Arrow
(Transforms your weapon and lets you perform longer aerial combos with wider reach.)

Cupid's Arrow? I don't see it. It's not even the right color.



Pandora's Gear: Final Weapon

Note: We still have 3 more weapons to go, so it's not actually final. It will be the one we collect the last, though, because fuck getting Pandora's Gear. Pandora's Gear+ is fine, though.



Zero Gear: Sharpshooter

The rest of the member's Zero Gear weapon has the normal description which I've already shown before.

This one's design is kinda subdued compared to the last few.



Casual Gear: Dryer
Mystery Gear: Trumpet

I guess this is a stab at how Xigbar is loud? He's still great, though

By the way, both of these weapons have their own sound effect. They're amazing.



We've seen Xigbar's Limit. Like dual-wielding Roxas' Limit, we can't move during it, but we can hold and then continue the same way. The bars also move the same way.

At least we can actually aim this time instead of hoping it'll actually hit the enemy. However, we can only aim left or right, so we can't hit airborne enemies.



Like in KH2, Xigbar holds his arrowguns to make it act just like a sniper rifle. Sadly, we can't move the camera during the Limit, so this is the best shot I can get of him trying to use the joke weapons the same way.



Xigbar's victory pose can easily be mistaken as his "going to battle" pose.



And his withdraw pose is not that different to Roxas.
