Is it possible for Nobodies to feel?

Yes. Well, Xemnas wasn't able to because he was a nobody for a long time. Axel was able to feel because of the events of Chain of Memories. Roxas was able to feel, including Xion.

 

Because there is a spoiler between the *'s for those who do not know yet.
*Xion is not a nobody.*

 

well i think its a yes

Roxas was technically an incomplete Nobody because Sora regained his form before Roxas was finished 'being born'. one side effect of being incomplete was his lack of memory from Sora, when a complete Nobody could fully remember thier previous lives. another possible side effect was that he could feel emotions, something a normal Nobody couldn't. this is shown by the examples above and numerous times in 358/2.

Axel was a normal nobody and couldn't feel emotions. after meeting Roxas though he began to meaning that Roxas could change Nobodies. this is shown because Axel genuinely cared for Roxas and didn't want to destroy him.

complete Nobodies though apparently feel nothing as pointed out by Xemnas and Saix, shown by both in thier cold, heartless attitudes. yet both show anger, hatred and in Saix's case despair in thier final fights with Xemnas showing anger towards Sora and Riku while Saix despairs at not having a heart.

i think thst while Nobodies claim to feel nothing they in fact can, just to different degrees. Roxas being close to an emotional wreck while Nobodies like most of the Organization showing mostly anger.

 

I'm not contributing to this topic more than this, but isn't it said that the Nobodies feel rage and hatred, and nothing else? I remember someone saying that.

 

What about "Fear"
Surely Demyx had shown this when we first encounter him in the Underworld?

And we see him running in the other direction.

Or perhaps it was an act of some sort, since he did then attack Sora and crew with some form of anger/hatred towards him portraying a "true" kind of feeling.

 

i think rawr has a good point

 

huh, can't believe i didn't notice this Nobodies (dusk's, snipers, berserkers, etc) can't feel cuz they are completly empty shells. The Organization is unique though. Besides them being stronger than regular nobodies, they could've felt things. But think, if everybody in the Organization really had absolutely no feelings or showed they could feel, would you want to buy the game?
To Rawr's spoiler: Weeell I just ruined the game for myself XD

 

Could there also be a memory thing with it?
Remember when Sora asks Xemnas if he remembered what it felt like to have a heart?
Xemnas did say no there as well right?

Keyword being Remember, and Xemnas is like one of (if not, is) the first Nobodies right? Being a Nobody for such a long period of time, feelings may also be forgotten?
Not sure how it could work that way but this is Kingdom Hearts =p

 

Nobodies feel nothing, they may think they do, or may try to decieve one, but nobodies have no emotions what so ever

 

But I think it's possible though.

 

I say he does, if we really want to know, lets do a little research about Nobodies.

 

That is said in the game, but thanks.

BUT, seeing on how Roxas and Namine are both special nobodies, they may have emotions. This maybe because Namine's orginal self has her heart, and Sora was able to keep his heart and became a heart after he became a heartless

 

ya u have a good point
i think they may have the ability to feel

 

now im convinced
i first said no but now i say yes
because when xemnas was defeated he was sad or in pain

 

Don't you think that Saix may be able to feel too. He may be a nobody, but he knows how to injure a heart too. Maybe it's from past experiences when he was still whole before going into the darkness perhaps...
