    Default Give Kairi more screen time please!

    And less Kairi look-alikes! Though I really like Aqua's character and the story of Xion was a nice one.

    This is a thread about Kairi and how we want to see her become a more full character. I think she has potential, but right now she's more of a device than a character.

    Kairi is a badass. She should get a keyblade. Maybe she can be Aqua's apprentice!

    She did get a keyblade in the second game, didn't she? I would like to see Kairi become less of a damsel as well. She has had that done, and was decent motivation, but now she should come into her own and take charge a bit. Kairi as the new hero plz.

    I think making Kairi playable in a Kingdom Hearts game would help people connect with her story more. She was too much of a damsel in distress in the first two games for my liking.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Up until the Door to the Light opened up in the ending to KH2, I honestly was excited by the prospect of the next KH entry being about Kairi setting off on a journey to find Riku and Sora in the World of Darkness. The monologue she gets in the ending really made it sound like that was going to be the next premise in the series. Then the door showed up and ruined the ending...

    Well, if you don't play CoM or Days between 1&2, you're kind of left scratching your head... playing CoM answers why Sora is in a flowery sleep chamber and playing Days explains Roxas... but the timeline is a little finicky... if Sora and Riku are doing some kind of Dream Dance, maybe Kairi really can have a short stint in a game that takes place between the time that Sora and Riku entered the final battle against Xemnas and the moment the Door to Light returned them to Destiny Islands. Sure, it won't be a game in which Kairi's quest saves the duo, but, c'mon, SE is good at nothing if not pulling an acceptable (if not entirely coherent) storyline out of their butts.

    I certainly agree that Kairi needs more screentime. It kind of feels like the only way I've got to know her character is through her lookalikes, and that seems like such a shame.

    I just want to see more of Kairi if you're picking up what I'm putting down.

    I personally would like to see her strike up a friendship with Tifa in KHIII, because she needs more screen time too. Forget about Cloud and Sephiroth; Tifa needs the extra publicity, and a brand new outfit too.

    On topic, I think that in the next game, Ultimecia can kidnap her while Sora and Riku are away, and then Tifa can save her and take Kairi under her wing for a while to give her some hand-to-hand combat training, and then have Leon and company deliver her to Yen Sid for Keyblade training.
    Is that your final answer?

    Well, apparently Nomura said there's going to be one more game between 3D and III, and considering the secret ending of BBS Final Mix, I guess we might see something along the lines of Kairi rescuing Aqua from the Realm of Darkness. And that would be friggin' awesome.

    Maybe Tifa is the one to rescue her.

    I don't think Tifa can cope, though...
