We decided to destroy the gravestone.

Reading a very old interview with Tetsuya Nomura about the then recently released Kingdom Hearts II. It's pretty amusing seeing what has changed since then:

Looks like Zexion has a lot of fans.
Probably because he’s quite enigmatic. He’s the only member who showed up with no weapons but it’s not because he doesn’t have his own weapon, it’s more of because he died without fighting so nobody knows what’s his weapon. I have an idea on what his weapon is and I might have a chance of showing it in the near future so I’ll keep it as a secret for now. That reminds me, in the World that Never Was, each XIII Organization member had a gravestone for them and each of those have a picture of their weapons and that’s when Zexion became a problem for us. “Eh, we’re gonna put a spoiler on Zexion’s weapon there!?” (laugh) That’s a bit too much so we decided to destroy the gravestone so that his weapon couldn’t be seen.

I'm a little disappointed that his weapon turned out to be a lexicon, but I remember how funny it was exploring the Proof of Existence before Re: Chain of Memories had come out. My sister and I thought, oh, now we can reminisce about each Organization member and their weaponry. But wait; what is that smashed thing? Oh, right. We don't know Zexion's weapon. :|

The end is him talking about how he doesn't know if they'll do a "Final Mix" version because there's a disc space problem and also they already did so much with the original game that they don't know what to do. AND THEN THEY DID FINAL MIX AND IT WAS AMAZING and also not released internationally because the Final Mixes never are. (At least Re: Chain of Memories was.) I fully intend to play Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix one day. There's too much good stuff on there to pass up.
