Isn't it hard enough for Vanitas to be a Sora/DarkRiku/Repliku copy already?
No, seriously, I'd love the series to have more individual characters that are not
a) the physical twins of someone
b) part of a forced trio
c) keyblade wielders
etc.
That's one of the reasons I think they should put more effort into Naminé in KH3 or the next saga. She really has potential and is "different" from all the other characters who mostly seem to be copies of each other and I like that.
What I'm trying to say is: I don't need every character to be connected to another character to make them "similar" or even "the same" or "counterparts".
But sure, I wouldn't mind SE properly explaining how their existence is really possible or the "what if"s.
Hrm... No doubt Nam will play some role in restoring the likes of Roxas, Xion, and herself, but I'd imagine she's more likely to get greater focus next saga. With already have the secrets behind the Keyblade War coming from Chi, Xehanort's intricate scheme to forge the X-Blade and the mindscrewing shenanigans he pulls to make it happen, finding the seven Guardians of Light, saving the lost ones (Namine included), and whatever else Nomura has in store, there's not going to be a whole lot of room to really explore her. After Xehanort's dealt with, however...
...Hrm, y'know, that kind of depends on what they'll do with the series post-Xehanort. This saga did a lot with introducing a lot of ideas, but it seems that there's plenty of room to see them further developed in the future. Heart-based Time Travel, beings literally formed of nothing, replicas... Probably not as much Keyblade-related lore considering Xehanort's plans have exploited the diddly out of it, but there's quite a few things they can build upon. It's a bright future after all.
^ Which makes her one of the few things left fun to discuss 8D
We know from in-game that Kairis heart leaving Soras body was the cause of Namines being. You wouldn't have had Namine without Kairi. Soras role was him breaking down as this was happening which let Namine form.
Things we know yes but that's what makes Kairi central. The heart leaving Soras body while he was changing was important but its from Kairis heart this unique process affected and it's too Kairis heart Namine returned and to Kairi Namine herself considers a "shadow". (as she words it in both CoM)
Aka Kairi is central to this. Just because Namine was born from nothing doesn't mean Kairi wasn't central to the birth. How she was born about all we know of Namine and we know Kairi was key.
No it was said in game Vanitas was pure dark so unless a later game says otherwise that's what he is for now. Plus if you wanted to talk balance Ven is his light. They're not bound in the same heart anymore but they're still connected strongly to the point Soras connection to Ven also affects Vanitas.
Kairi being central to all of this is correct... but also explains why we still know diddly-squat about how Namine came to be, doesn't it?
