"Organisation Xiii's homeworld, that I'm sorely missing the civilians on the streets"
I actually think it being devoid of people fits the theme of the world. Nobodies are empty shells and it's a big, empty, lifeless world. The only creature inhabiting it are the undead heartless and empty shell nobodies. It's the perfect setting for the homeworld of villains. It one of my favorite worlds if not my favorite. The mystical feeling it gives off is hard to describe. It's sort like a the feeling despair and mystery combined, but that isn't accurate enough. It's like the feeling of a daft punk or Gorillaz song. It's very somber and comtemplative. If for no other reason I like Organization XIII for feeling and impression they distill in me. It isn't precise, and I wish I could think of a better term, but they can be described as Cyber Punk. The feeling is like a good uncanny feeling, it;s like if the uncanny valley was flipped. At a certain range of oddity and mysteriousness the feeling you get exponetially increases. I love the look of their black coat, the concept of nobodies, their world. It all ties together with the theme of emptiness. It's gives the symbolism of a person who's alive, but might as well be dead. Somewho who has emotionally died. Someone who hasn't truly feel good and alive in years. Someone with a void who uses drugs and pleasure to attempt to fill the void, but it only temporarily eases the pain. This person like the nobodies can feign emotion and life, but it's hollow as they feel nothing inside. A dsytopic world where human emotions and flaws bring shame and disapproval, so these nobodies" dehumanize. They eliminate their heart and function only off of their body and mind. They turn into a machine one of million. As there perfect name implies, they are now truly a nobody. It's poetic and beautiful to think about. It's sombering and meditative.
This dystopic, Brave New World, Daft punk, dehumanized type of world is the PEFECT fit as the antagonizing force for a game called Kingdom Hearts. Organization XIII is the perfect antagonist and anthesis of the ever jublinant and emotional Sora whom is full of life and humanity.
