In the past few days, we've been theorizing about the story and the characters' role in KHIII. Pretty much every character's name has come up, from Riku Replica to Sora and even the Final Fantasy characters like Leon. But we haven't talked much about Naminé and there's a clear reason why. We haven't seen her in any promotional material except for the cover art. The cover art seems to hint that she will have a role in the story but we haven't seen any footage of her anywhere.

In my opinion, it's either because she has a REALLY big role in the story and Nomura really wants it to surprise us or it might be because she has a REALLY small role in the story and they don't have much of her to show. Last time we saw her she was in Twilight Town and we know Sora will be going there. We also know the tutorial takes place in Twilight Town. Is Naminé going to appear in the tutorial section of the game? Will she play a role in Roxas' return? I seriously wonder what her role is going to be...What's your take on Naminé's role in the story?

Definitely.  Like in KH2, she could walk out of Kairi until the climax of KH2 but only Sora and Kairi could see her, right?  

LOL, Namine should just randomly walk out of Kairi at the start of the game, because she wants a drink or something and then goes back in like it's nothing. That won't happen but it would be funny.

In reality if Kairi get's bodied in Keyblade Graveyard that might trigger Namine's return. It won't make sense but neither did Namine's birth so she plays by her own rules.

I'd assume Namine will be a hallucination that will only talk to Kairi. Kinda like Roxas' role in Dream Drop Distance. A side effect for later stages of what I like to call "fusion sickness".

She's gonna make old Xehanort forget what he's doing, and Org XIII will simply wander off confused. The End.
