Something tells me we were reminded by the same thing, lol.
I actually wouldn't have minded a lot of what he did had I been able to see what a lot of people do -
That he cared for Axel.
But even before Days ever came to show us he basically didn't, not really, I just didn't see it in KHII. Even if it was for a Heart-replacement, Axel did basically everything he could for him. Roxas on the other hand took off without us knowing why, for Sora. Then he had that whole "no one'd miss me" biz. Excuse me if that alone makes me incapable of taking his character seriously. Ok so we had this but then when Axel dies for you you suddenly care? And even have that FM+ scene with him on the clock tower? What?
People need a reality check and to keep in mind the novels never were true canon, least of all when characterizations are involved. Roxas was a bi-polar, hypocritical, loathful son of a bitch before Nintendo ever came to Nomura asking for a DS KH game.
