They have to be fast in order to catch what they are chasing...
I don't know that yet, Chaser could just be the name given to them because their fast.
As to how they are created, hmm... maybe thats why they are chasing something?
Yeah, i think their names also sprout from how they are created, so that leaves the question of how...

Maybe he remember that from his former self memories. I think that is how he loss his eye, probably from an intensce battle with the keyblade weilders..........

Chasers implies more than one...
And i think it's safe to say Xigbar stayed within the realm of RG since he would've had no way to travel.

I think it is clear that the new enemy has a great chance and probability of being the Chasers that are referred to. What about you? Discuss what you think Chaser means and what you think the new enemies are below. ^____^

Except you already know that by the time KH1 came out, they began working on KH2. So it's not technically giving out info too early.

To be honest, that doesn't really make sense. You can't be a "Chaser" if you don't chase something, at least with the definition you picked.

He is like an assassin. To carry out his duties.......

I thought they didn't start working on KH2 until a few months after KH:FM came out?
Plus still, they started working on BBS shortly after KH2 came out, seeing as how production had to be halted for Re:CoM.

I then went on to say in the post that their name probably stems from their creation (as in i took back what i said about them being called that simply because their fast). Lol i know, i'm confusing.
When i said from their creation, I meant they are probably chasing something that has to do with it.
Heartless seek out hearts even though they were created from them, etc.
So I think the term Chasers is becuase of the way they are created and what they are searching for.
But i don't know =/
Nomura did say that these enemies were a starting point for Heartless, so the act of searching for something like Heartless of Hearts, could have first been seen by the Chasers.

That doesn't change the fact that the word "Chasers" was plural.

Even though this sounds pretty lame, but Saix could be a chaser, even though it means more. I've alway's wonder how he got that X mark on his face.

[Grace Assassin]

I just disagree with a Chaser being someone/thing that chases someone/thing simply because the definition is too obvious. I mean, obviously it has a chance of being right, but it just doesn't feel right.

Curiosity.
Does Xigbar have pointed ears like Saix?

I know a few do..

You much rather like the name meaning the Keyblade maker thing right?
Well Heartless and Nobodies are named simply because they don't have hearts (well the natural ones don't) and because they don't exist(Nobodies).
So, in the terms of those enemy names, them being called Chasers because they chase something seems logical =/
I mean, i think it would be more interesting if Chasers did refer to a Keyblade maker, but i think it more points to being the enemy =/

It might be obvious, but admittedly, some things in KH are fairly obvious.

[Gabo]

He does.

I think its odd that the two characters with pointed ears also have injuries.

I don't think its anything more than character design
I just think its interesting.

Again, it's just as logical as having the Chasers being keyblade creators based on the other definition.

Both are technically obvious because they are based on the very definition of the word. If, instead of Chasers, it was, say, X Squad (hah don't ask), then the keyblade creators/new enemies would have an illogical name.

The question here is more about originality.

Heartless and Nobodies are more original names than you'd at first think. Heartless isn't a name focusing on the fact that Heartless have no hearts- otherwise it would be for Nobodies. By heartless, it means cruel, referring to the darkness. And the irony is that they ARE comprised of stolen hearts.

Nobodies are obvious in that they don't exist, but it has irony too. No bodies would refer to Heartless, but that isn't the case.

Again, it would just be a little bit too low in my opinion for the Chasers to chase. I'd much prefer even something that has absolutely nothing to do with the word. I mean, it'd be like calling Heartless No Bodies and Nobodies No Hearts.

I always did find that ironic.
Lol

lol same. Heartless are made of hearts (the artificial ones).
Nobodies i like the most though in irony. "No Bodies" yet all they are is a body.
Maybe Chasers don't chase anything... Wait. =/
