Okay. I know I'm new here, but after viewing the entire RHG sticky...I just had to share my opinion. Personally, I think that the RHG is Kairi and they're not showing her face to *MAKE* you think she's someone else because SquareEnix is just like that. I'm not saying she's *NOT* Kairi because I'm not Nomura. For all I know she can be anyone. I just happen to think she's Kairi.
All of you are seriously cracking me up. xD You're calling each other assholes, saying you wear blinders...it's a *video game* and while anyone is allowed to theorize *ANYTHING*, theories should have supporting evidence that actually helps your theories. For example, it's my personal opinion that the RHG is Kairi because she has the same hair color, the same posture, and she's on her home island (which is close to the island which the kids play on). In the Jump Festa trailer, while not released to the public, it's a fact that Kairi is talking to Selphie in it. Check out
www.kh2.co.uk for that much. Further, the picture shown of Kairi in her KH1 outfit in the same position as the RHG can be a time lapse. As in, they show that scene, and then flash forward a year to Kairi, a year older, coming home from school and staring at that same island again. The sailor suit is merely a sailor suit because that's how the style for school uniforms is in Japan, and while the kids are on the Destiny Islands, the game is from Japan and thus has Japanese influences (such as Kairi's school uniform being in a sailor format). Anyway...
Lots of you are saying these far-out-there theories and nobody is giving any evidence to SUPPORT their theories. This is what differentiates a theory from a rumor. For instance, in this thread I've heard that the RHG might be Naminé (why does no one spell her name correctly?) since she IS a witch and can OBVIOUSLY change her hair color. Perhaps Naminé is only a witch in the sense that she can use her powers to fiddle with the chains of one's memory? This is, after all, the only thing we've seen her do. (I, in fact, am a practicing Wiccan so to see that Naminé was a witch in Jiminy's journal made me all giddy. ^^; ) I've also heard that the RHG is a new character. Well, that's totally possible considering we haven't seen her face yet; however, we haven't *TRULY* seen the Blindfolded Unknown's face yet either (I mean, he's wearing a blindfold xD) yet everyone assumes he is Riku, because of almost identical looks. Even though we've seen Riku join The Organization in CoM, everyone thought he was Riku before then and even before Nomura confirmed that someone in Deep Dive was someone from the original game. So why think that the RHG is any different?
Food for thought.
(P.S., please don't use ASAS or even DD as canon information, they were more like teasers than trailers that used conceptual graphics which is why we haven't seen anyone in the KH2 trailers who looks like the girl on the beach in ASAS...simply because ASAS and DD were concepts.)
