Kairi is so much better than Naminé. At least she didn't go and screw Sora's memories up! Even though she was nice, she could have done something to the Organization members. Though, that might not work...

What could she do to them? Her power is to rearrange the link between memories in a person's heart. The Org. members we've met don't have a heart, so there isn't anything she could do to them.

I don't know who Namine is so I voted Kairi. I would have voted for Kairi anyway. Who is Namine?

ok Gaia, sorry to annoy you, I guess I didn't pay attention to the fact that the Org. Members don't have hearts. Oh well, I still like Kairi better.

errr.... Isn't Namine Kairis shell or something...
So if you say "I HATE NAMINE BUT I LUV KAIRI!!" isn't that being kind of hypocritical? As for me, i hate neither of them... Namine had no chice to do what she did, and besides, she fixed it all in the end, and I don't know why everyones saying something about Kairi tearing everything apart, she didn't do anything wrong.. Although she does fill out the whole "damsel in destress" cliche....

I do believe you all are just Kairi fans trying to bash anything that can compete with her.  To me, Kairi's annoying.  She is so 2-Dimensional.  Out of all the Princesses of Heart, she is the most boring (and that's counting Snow White!).  She has no personality, she's ugly during all in-game scenes (CG isn't in-game), and, to me, she always had this thing against Riku.  She tore Riku and Sora apart, and, to me, that makes her the b*tch, not Namine.  Anyone who can break two friends apart without any hint of regret can't be pure.

Namine, on the other hand, HAS personality, she's prettier than Kairi (I can't believe a blond's more good-looking), and she definitely has more reason to do what she does.  Not to mention, Namine didn't commit her acts on purpose.  She changed Sora's memory because the Unknowns forced her, and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot.  This is why, at the end, she restores Sora's memories, because she has a heart and knows that what she did, even if unintentional on her part, was wrong.  Whereas Kairi couldn't care less if Riku died and never came back from Hollow Bastion as long as she got to have Sora's complete attention.

Lol u complain that Kairi doesnt look good when u compare Namine from KHCOM, all pixaly compared to Kairi (cg doesnt count, CG isn't in-game). Kairi did not tear Sora and Riku apart on purpose, and she didnt have her heart for most of KH1 so I dont think she's going to feel regret, and shes pure enough to be a princess of heart. Kairi does have a personality. Namine and Kairi are bothe pretty looking.
I'm going to get so flamed for this... Namine didnt have to do what the organization wanted her to do, if Namine decided not to do what she was told to do what can the organization do? They wouldn't have done anything drastic to Namine because Namine was the only person who could screw around with Sora's memories. Thus if there was no Namine then Marluxia wouldn't be able to have go through with his plan (though I know his plan fails).

Marluxia:"Hey Namine won't listen to us, lets kill the key to my plan of controlling Sora and getting the keyblade!"

Larxene:"Ya lets kill her, afterall noone else in this room can controle other people's memories!"

Axel:"I'll do it, after all I won't be killing untill Sora gets to Twilight town."

Namine puts Sora's memories back is because she knows what she did was bad. And where do u get the idea that Kairi wouldnt care if Riku died or not?




p.s. sorry if i seemed really rude, I'm just trying to defend Kairi and get out my dislike of Namine, its not that Namine is bad, she just didnt seem very likable to me, she's seems like a pushover.

Marluxia threatened Namine with being trapped in CO for the rest of her life all alone. She couldn't bare the idea of being all alone for the whole of her life which is why she was willing to mess with his memories. She's been alone all her life and is craving to be in someone's heart. Messing with Sora's memories enabled her to be in someone's heart which is why she did it so easily. But she realized it was wrong to get into someone's heart this way, which is why she corrected what she did when Axel set her free. Marluxia used her loneliness to get what he wanted.

Actually, the parts that actually showed Namine were the same kind of graphics that were in-game for the original. It just looked CG because the game was on Gameboy and not Playstation, though it wasn't really. So, technically, my point still stands. Besides, the part about the looks has no relevance to my real argument, it was just a gesture of personal taste.

Yeah, but I guessed you missed my earlier post where I said even the parts where she WAS there, she didn't seem to care. And, as far as I'm concerned, being PoH doesn't mean you're pure, it just means you're too stupid to see if you're actions will really cause impure outcomes. Kairi may not have known full-out what she was doing would hurt Riku and Sora, but that doesn't mean she didn't do it. Jasmine, for example, left the palace without permission of her father (In the movie, and if you say that's the movie not the game, it still counts because the world is based off the movie. Aladdin = Agrabah) but didn't think about the fact that she could've ended up getting her arm cut off (by the marketplace guy). Very similar to Ariel's situation, and yet I don't see her up there simply because her movie focused around that point rather than having it go unnoticed.
QUOTE

Yeah, Kairi does have a personality...about as much as a piece of cardboard with writing on it. The last part is of personal taste like I said, so Namine >>>>> Kairi for me.

Axel:"I'll do it, after all I won't be killing untill Sora gets to Twilight town."

Namine puts Sora's memories back is because she knows what she did was bad.

Yeah, and that worked so well when she did her own thing when Axel let her loose, didn't it? After all, Larxene practically threw her against the wall and knocked her out. Let's just say, Larxene didn't really go easy on her just because she was a 'key' to power. They could've still worked it out if they wanted, by capturing Namine again. Yet, when she tries to do things her own way, Namine gets smacked around.

If someone put a gun to your head and said "Do this or you're of no use to me and you die," you'd do it, right?

QUOTE

She left him behind at Hollow Bastion, and didn't want Sora to go back to save him simply because she thought he might've lost his heart. What a load of crap, considering even if his heart was lost, so was Sora's for a little while there and he still came back, didn't he?

Now, you're free to think the last bit about not wanting Sora to go back to save him if you wish. But it's kinda unfair to say she "left him behind at Hollow Bastion". Last I checked, HE was the one screaming "RUN! THE HEARTLESS ARE COMING!"

To quote Jafar from "Return of Jafar": "There is so much worse than death!" Yes, Marluxia wouldn't have killed her because she was the key to his plan. But he could do something as bad (or worse) than that, like beat Namine or badly cut her with his sycthe. You forget that Namine is just a young girl, whereas Marluxia is a full-grown man with dark powers! You'd be scared too if you were in Namine's situation.

By that part I meant "she left and didn't intend on going back." o.o? And she didn't either, although she would've been as safe in the Library with Leon, Aerith, and Yuffie as she would be alone in that apartment in the Third District.

Actually, even if she does have the power to "rearrange" memories, I don't think she would be able to stop Marluxia from hurting her, she is only about 14 yrs old after all.....

Well, Namine wouldn't stand a chance trying to stand up to Marluxia.. I mean look at him! He's intimidating enough as it is! It's strange. A bloke who uses FLOWERS to attack, along with a pink scythe.. damn that really DOES sound scary!

If that was sarcasm, I mighta missed it a little. Or maybe a lot.
Listen, what can you expect when Disney/Square want to create a powerful bad guy, but include an element?
Marluxia's is flowers/nature. (Mainly flowers) But someone has to have an element like that, right? If not then what would his element be?

Riku: You still don't got it.
Sora: Huh?
Riku: Got milk?

I'd go with Namine, sure shes a manipulative bitch, but shes better then Kairi, Ansem's creepy spy. I dont trust her. Plus who wouldnt wanna have a few memories altered huh? I like the idea of a girl who could really do some damage, rather then a spineless flat-chested wuss who didnt get that much air time in Kingdom Hearts. Of course once KH2 is out, maybe they'll make Kairi better and add some character...Either way I tip my glass to you Namine, I'll be damned if your a natural blonde...

Oh, yes the flowers, they scare the living crap out of me o.0

Ok, seriously, ppl. Stop trying to be sarcastic on the boards, it stupid and ppl don't get it. I mean, to be sarcastic you have to sound sarcastic and.... and...
This.... Is.... A.... Board.....

So, enough sarcasm.

And although a dude who has flowers as a weopon doesn't sound very intimidating, that scythe is probably pretty damn sharp, so he could fsk her up pretty badly, so stop judging Namine so harshly. And besides, she sucks it up in the end and does whats right.

I'm pretty sure the memory thing doesn't work on the unknowns, because they don't really exist. Therefore, they don't have memories to erase/rearrange. I'm sure she would've tried it if it were possible. Who wouldn't?

Sephiroth of Sephraphim,
Let's pretend that you were Kairi. (Not going anything against your gender, of course.)
You are KO'd for about three-fourths of the game.
How can you do any character building like that?
Also, where's proof that Kairi is 'Ansem's creepy spy?'

Doesn't work that way. Namine's power is to re-arrange the links between memories in the heart. The Org. members don't have hearts. Their memories are stored differently, so she can't affect them.

Gaia's right. Namine just rearranges the links of the chain. If something were to happen, then Marluxia and Larxene would remember.
She said that remembering something leads to remembering another and another. Then, she said, that our memories are linked together, like links in a chain.
