Yeah, but no one would know where in the world the 'kri' came from. XD
As for her name, I'm pretty sure Xemnas gave her the name 'Namine', since he probably knew the meaning of Kairi's name (ocean). As for her creation, Kairi's heart was sealed within Sora throughout the whole game. I guess her's replaced his heart or something, I dunno. Anyway, when Kairi lost her heart, she didn't become a Heartless, but she still created a Nobody in the process. When Kairi had her heart returned, it held all of the memories Sora gained throughout his adventure, which somehow contributes to her ability to manipulate memories. When Sora had his true heart returned, it obviously didn't have the memories of the adventure. That means when Roxas was created, he too had no memories of Sora's exploits, unlike the traditional Nobody who retains their memories.
Roxas sees those memories in his dreams in the prologue of KHII because of two factors:
1. Sora's heart did not have the memories, but his mind/brain did, and since he shares a sort of link with Roxas, he can see those memories while asleep.
2. During this time, Sora is in suspended animation, as DiZ is restoring his pre-CoM memories. As this happens, Roxas sees those memories as they slowly return, again due to the link they share. On a side note, I'm betting Sora would only have been able to have been restored to 99%, with Roxas having to fuse back with him for the other 1%.
So, in conclusion, Namine does not have an 'X' in her name, because not only is she not a true member of the Organization, but she was created differently from other Nobodies, so Xemnas had to distinguish her from the rest of them.
To me, it's useless using world party members, since you'll only ever visit each world twice anyway. Therefore, I keep Goofy and Donald at all times, since they pretty much level up with you. Still, I rarely ever need Donald, since in KHll Sora's magic auto-fills if you run out. I team up with Goofy whenever I get the chance. He can do damage to enemies just by walking into them. XC
For all we know, Tetsuya somehow made it intentionally have a hidden message when played backwards. The entire Kingdom Hearts series is full of secrets anyway, y'know? Like, something completely ordinary in KH1 could actually be foreshadowing something in KHIII, you never know.
Weird how Disney owns all the original KH characters. Like they're gonna do anything with them outside of the KH series, y'know? Though 'Steamboat Roxas' sounds quite funny.
There were a couple Disney movies that had different possible love interests for the main character, and he always went with the main heroine. Hunchback of Notre Dame was especially unique in that two guys were in love with the same girl, so one of them was going to ultimately going to be somewhat heartbroken. Well...Quasimodo gets a girl in the sequel, but we all know about Disney Sequels...
Anyway, I myself don't really support any one pairing, so anything is good for me.
Kefka would be a cool optional boss fight to replace Sephiroth. Shimomura did a sort of phase-by-phase process for the final battle music in KHII, so the same could be done remixing Dancing Mad. Fighting all those different phases of Kefka would also be awesome.
Sora, Donald and Goofy riding Chocobo would be the coolest thing ever.
There's a site or something called Another Report or something. It's an official novelization that talks about what Organization XIII did behind the scenes. One chapter involves Roxas and Axel being sent to Hollow Bastion. Apparently their mission was to free a crow from a cage, which they did. It's implied that the crow is the same one who always accompanies Maleficent (Diablo is it's name). After that, I guess Diablo found Maleficent's cloak, threw it into Yen Sid's Tower, and ressurected herself using a combonation of darkness, the three fairie's memories of her, and the magical energies of the Tower itself.
This is just another one of those Kingdom Hearts quirks you'll come upon while playing (example: "Sora, Donald, Goofy", and the 'paper mouths' in some cutscenes, etc.)
Who thinks that Sora and Kairi (or any other couple for that matter) should have kissed at the end of the game? I'm not supporting any specific pairing, I'm just saying that nearly every Disney movie ends with the hero and heroine sharing a kiss and falling in love, so I thought this rule would apply to Kingdom Hearts as well. Any thoughts? ^_^
This may seem a little off-topic but I want to say something.
Before Kingdom Hearts II was first released last year, I saw screenshots of the Atlantica world. One of the screenshots was of Sora covering Flounder's eyes. The screenshot made me think that was the part wshere after Ariel is turned into a human, she walks out onto the beach naked, thus calling for Sora to cover Flounder's eyes (though he keeps his own open XD). I thought Disney would no doubt remove that scene had it actually turned out like that. ^_^
Yes, this game is more suited for teenagers. Disney doesn't want too much violence in it. Then again, there's violence and other such stuff in plenty of Disney movies if you look close enough. In Beauty and the Beast, the Beast gets stabbed in the back by Gaston, and you can clearly see blood flowing from the wound. Maleficent says 'hell' in Sleeping Beauty. And on that note, don't even get me started on Hunchback of Notre Dame. XD
She did use Cure. But, there is no battle model of her. The closest you could get is to have her 'just walking around' model, and even then she has no real A.I. other than just walking around. She technically didn't even cast the spell. The game had the Cure-graphic appear around Yuffie, and just had Aerith run up to her.
