Yup! New song from Utada, and it better be bomb diggity.

^ Aww yeah. Couldn't say it any better!

Yeah they should. I don't really see SoRik together like that.. they're best friends, and I feel that Sora's more comfortable around him than he is with Kairi because hey, Sora kinda seems like the type of guy who's challenged when it comes to relationships and with girls. Like with that one hug scene in KH2. Who wouldn't be shy if their crush just ran up to you and gave you a big bear hug?   Sora acts more like Riku's younger brother if you ask me.
 
That being said, I don't think there's gonna be chaos between shipping fandoms. Nomura's been throwing out so many hints of Sora and Kairi's romance, I mean I get it if you don't ship them, but people should get that feeling that they are eventually going to end up together.  ^_^

I think at this point we need to see them kiss, i mean they really had a moment in kh2 and they obviously have feelings for each other. Please nomura, dont friend zone the only canon pairing q.q

Maybe "Sanctuary & Simple and clean" both in one song.

It's beautiful.

I've read nearly every post in this thread and all I have to say is this:
 
There are heavy indications of Sora/Kairi in the games. KH2's opening for instance focuses on Sora and Kairi specifically holding hands. Then there is the KH1 ending where Kairi imagines Sora drawing the picture of him sharing a Paopu fruit (which is implied to relate two people romantically) with her, and then her doing vice versa. Then there is Donald and Goofy teasing Sora for his face being all red and saying, "I know who you're thinking about!" Then there is the dance between Jack and Sally that triggers Sora imagining him and Kairi doing the same. And then there is also the fact that Saix said (to Kairi), "You are the fire that feeds Sora's anger."
 
And while I can see people coming up with reasons and examples as to why Sora/Riku would work (KH3D is full of questionable actions, if you think about it), look at it from a different perspective. They've been best friends since they were 4 and 5. If anything, I not only see a strong friendship, but a sibling relationship as well. To me, they're brothers, and their actions show that of saving/protecting/congratulating (specifically for Riku passing the Exam) /caring for family.
 
So do I think Sora and Kairi should kiss? Absolutely. Why shouldn't they? It doesn't even have to be in KH3 that they kiss, although I (and I'm sure many others) would like it to be. Before that happens, however, I would like Kairi to go through some serious character development, which I'm assuming is going to happen in KH3 since she's going to be more involved. Nomura also indicated that Sora's going to be more mature. It's debatable as to what that means, but I'm assuming that he'll either be older or just more responsible and such. And if what someone (I can't remember who) said is true, and Nomura stated Sora and Kairi's relationship is going to be more intimate in KH3, why shouldn't they kiss? Not a make-out session, but just a kiss, much like we see in Disney movies. Obviously Disney would and should be okay with that.

No

I would grab a gun, hold Nomura hostage, and force him to finish it if he wanted to live.  

Yes please!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!


 

In my opinion, Sora needs to grow up, and actually spend more time getting to know Kairi.
 
Right now, I'm not buying their relationship at all. All we've seen so far is them talking to each-other, with no context as to why they should like one-another at all. Yes, we know they're friends, but we don't know why they are or how they've grown so close as the game TELLS us they are. This is the problem with the relationship for me, I just can't accept it because these characters aren't giving me any reason as to why they should be together. I want to see them end up with one-another, but I want to see it done right, and I want to see it done convincingly.
