It helps that whisper of the heart is basically Namine/Riku

but they keep acting like it's still a thing

Probably dead as soon as days dropped

meanwhile giving roxas and xion more moments and then making namine and riku have a anime cherry blossom moment? what? lol

yeah i think so

but they don't want to drop the plot point for some reason lol

Idk anything about this series anymore

the novels, partly with nomura input, also support namine/riku and roxas/xion so im like

what is the truth

Nomura make a decision

^

It makes namine look like she just wants anyone lol

I know that's not tru but

she seems disapointed when sora doesn't love her in com

I guess Roxas/RIku was a rebound

XDDD

Com was very early for her character tho

true

Ahh ya know what, doesn't really matter

They'll never commit to anything except sokai

Yeah

tbh I don't care what they go with

just make a decision

Haha

Implying they actually committed to Sokai

don't make roxas and xion live together and see each other all the time in the same town and then make roxas not interact with namine at all

and then be like

nah guys roxas/namine is totally still a thing i swear

"These characters just spent a collective 5 minutes of screentime, how romantic"

That and when you think about it

days makes kh2 look bad in that aspect because it's like

he only liked namine because he forgot about xion

Let's be real

Roxas/Namine literally only existed to parallel sora

These two have very little meaningful interaction

exactly

and now that they are their own people the whole reason of "they are sora and kairi's nobodies so they should be together too" is gone

That's probably why they kinda ditched it, because it takes away their angency sora and kairi say they desire so much

but they don't seem to have the guts to actually ditch it

They even compared roxas and xion to sokai as well lmao "The bond between roxas and xion has probably become the same as that between sora and kairi"

Even funnier is I think namine says that lol

I think it's an example of this trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheArtifact

I think it's an example of this trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheArtifact

Honestly as long as they don't firetruck up the characters idc what they do, probably just tryna keep it as open ended as possible for the rabid fangirls

Yeah probably lol

Y'know since people want a gay ship so much

they should make Isa/Lea canon

It basically already is

They don't have the balls to tho and watch them make X girl/Skuld into a love interest of one of them

I'm almost certain that is going to happen, it's in every trio

Honestly tho I don't think she was needed, how are they going to fit her on the tower?

Someone is going to fall off

One must be sacrificed

Man, don't you just love it when people perfectly sum up your thoughts in a single paragraph

"Radiant Garden is the original residence of both Kairi and Lea, and the wizard Merlin who's supposed to be training them. As well as Ansem the Wise, Isa and all of the apprentices. That means approximately half of these original villains (and multiple primary and secondary protagonists) Nomura is so keen to develop at the expense of the staple Final Fantasy characters are from the same world as those FF characters. Gee, I wonder how he could possibly connect the dots and make the plot work!"

oof
