Description: Cause' I don't.

According to the Namine-Supporters Club at Deviant-Art...
| QUOTE |
Research proved the haters to be largely composed of Kairi lovers. I say "largely" due to the few Riku/Sora supporters out there who also dislike Namine.
I understand the Kairi lovers issue. Here is this strange girl replacing all of Sora's memories of Kairi with herself, making him forget the red haired girl. It seems to me however, that they seem to forget than Namine was forced to do this, it was not her choice. |
I too, also fail the reason behind hating Namine. She just seems as lonely as ever. This is my opinion, so I just wanna know if there are a few other Namine Supporters out there :lol:

:lol:
Well, I was really 'wtheck!' at that. Yes, I love Sora/Kairi, but I don't hate Namie, if anything, I hate Sora! xD! Because he was saying even though the memories were fake the feeling was real...so he said he still felt the same way (liking her, I'm sure) so I was very 'aah, cheating on Kairi!'. But then he lost his memories of her but she was waiting for him, so I hope there won't be any Sora/Namie because of his feelings during the fake memories. :sad: Those memories was suppose to be of Kairi, so what he felt for Namie was like what he had felt for Kairi since it was like the same memories.
But, no, I don't hate Namie. I feel sorry for her too! She seems nice. It was really cute when Riku reconized right away that it wasn't Kairi though. ^^ Aah, no, must not turn Riku/Kairi! :lol:

Have you not played Chain of Memories, Yin?
She's a huge character in that game.

Nooo.... :cry: Yin has not played COM... :cry:
Oh well. I'll just live with that info. :lol: Will she be turning up in KH2?

Yes, she will actually! I've seen the trailer and some screenshots of her talking to BHK in Castle Oblivion (Yin, that's where KH: COM takes place!) Onigiri, I'm sort of a SoraxNaminexKairixRiku sort of thing...haha! >_<

I don't really like CoM that much, the controls are...bleck.
Schala - October 23, 2005 03:27 PM (GMT)
Well, I'm not a fan of Namine, but I don't like Kairi either, so it's not because the rivalry thing. I simply don't like Namine because of her attitude towards the Riku replica (he was loyal to her and she never so much as treated him as a friend. Come to think of it, did she even talk to him at all?). Plus, she was protrayed as a weak, manipulated, and- forgive me- somewhat whiny character. The only thing that redeemed her was the fact that she plucked up the courage to tell Sora the truth, and she stood up to Marluxia at the end.
I think that unless something is done to make her into a stronger character, Namine will likely remain disliked by the vast majority. Oh, maybe it's partly also because I don't like the possible Namine x Riku pairing?

what makes you think that they'd be paired?! :huh:
They don't even talk that much or nothing.....but they WOULD make a cute couple...
and I have to admit that Sora's line..."after all we used to be inseparable, me, Riku,....and Namine" kinda pissed me off....I mean afterall those promises to kairi and all...well to tell the truth Kairi doesn't appeal to me all that much..she's sorta like a "meh" character to me...I DID hate Namine at first but then I saw that she had no chouce so I went like oh whatever....
Yuffie_chan - October 23, 2005 09:34 PM (GMT)
actualy i really liked namine alot i didn't really like kairi because of her very small seemingly role in the first game so i found her poitnless but namine's attitude seemed similar but was actually totally different from kairi i liked how namine didn't really force people to do things she let them choose for themself and made it seem liek it was the right choice

it's because it is said that Namine is Kairi's shadow.....
yin-chan - October 24, 2005 04:06 AM (GMT)
Hmm....Yin has never played COM....but I never really felt that much for Kairi. I was a Riku x Kairi supporter though (but yes, I know sora x kairi is canon ^_^ )
Onigiri - October 24, 2005 06:58 AM (GMT)
Yeah, the ending was so sad with the scene in the cave! But I feel, especially after CoM, that Riku cares for Kairi a lot more than Sora cares for her, like Kairi is more special to Riku than she is to Sora. But Kairi obviously likes Sora more than Riku. Aww, poor Riku...
Aerith white feather - October 24, 2005 01:52 PM (GMT)
Yeah....poll witle Riku...
But...i like the chance RikuxNamine... :huggle:
Ally McBeal - October 24, 2005 05:01 PM (GMT)
i don't have an opinion of namine either..when i play kh2..i will answer..
even kairi would be sora's love for 4..and his ligth..

You never know. Namine seemed to be fond of Riku, plus, I wouldn't be surprised if she became some sort of 'consolation prize' for him since he can't have Kairi.
Onigiri - October 25, 2005 04:31 AM (GMT)
I hope not. I'm really tired of seeing people with 'consolation prizes'. Just because they don't get the girl or guy doesn't mean they have to pair them up with someone just so they could be happy. Those usually seem so forced. =/
But sometimes they do it well and it is really cute. But I hate how when there is AxB, CxB and AxD, if it comes out AxB, they pair up CxD!
Materia Thief - October 30, 2005 06:30 AM (GMT)
I like Namine, I'm really quite fond of her, although I'm a huge Sora x Kairi fan. ^_^
I don't really understand the hatred of her honestly, as although she was manipulated, it's hard not to be, especially when brute force CAN come into the equation. She's not a fighter and she isn't strong, but her weakness is human, born of loneliness and regrets. I can understand why Namine wouldn't like the Repliku (Riku-Replica) as he was very violent, especially against Sora, who Namine seemed to care about.
And yes, I'm kinda fond of Namine x Riku. XD However, that's just my pairing!whore-ness coming out. XD
Tifa Lockheart - October 30, 2005 12:48 PM (GMT)
I dunno... I like Namine... I like the NaminexRiku pairing... but not that much. It's just an option because I love SoraxKairi more and I wouldn't want anything disturbing their love! :lol:
Maybe I sorta disliked Namine before because she had to make Sora see that she's Kairi and erased the stuff in Sora's mind, making him think that she's Kairi...? O_o'
Toxo - October 30, 2005 01:50 PM (GMT)
Well...I haven't played CoM, so it's hard to say. But to be honest, I don't like her that much. She's fine, but...Oh well...Dunno. :lmao:
Sefie - October 30, 2005 05:36 PM (GMT)
Hrm...if only I could stand the battles in CoM!!
Cetra_Aerith - October 30, 2005 06:55 PM (GMT)
I know they werre annoying....
well I just didn't like the fact that Namine took out kairi to place herself there.... that was the thing that kinda got to me... <_<

I'm gonna have to agree with Tifa Lockheart....
But anyway.....Namine is just another character to me ^_^ But having a Riku/Namine pairing would be nice...but it wouldn't make a difference to me...^_^
Luna-Nayru - December 18, 2005 08:59 PM (GMT)
Poor Namine gets no love. I adore her personality--she's so sweet and kind of jaded as a character, so she kind of reminds me of Tifa in that light. (especially with the memory bending. Really, COM was practically a Disney-ified reinactment of the Lifestream Event in some places.) I used to be a bit of a Rikune supporter, but now I'm getting fangirlish ideas about her and Roxas. :fangirl: But I think she really, really needs someone to cling to who will cling to her back, much like Tifa needs someone unlike Mr. Dubious Strife to appreciate her. ;)
Regardless...the world needs Namine pairings. People get crazy when they're lonely, pseudo-witches included. :D

Personally, I like the SoraxKairixNaminexBHK love quadrangle...I mean Square. But that's just my opinion. XD

*adds "quadrangle" to list of favorite words* :D
Best love quadrangle evah, yo! Reminds me a lot of CloudXAerisXTifaXZack. :fangirl:
Clerith-son - December 18, 2005 10:45 PM (GMT)
What can I say?
Riku owns Sora (Sora might be Cloudish in looks, but Riku is Cloudish in attitude)
Naminé owns Kairi (just by little, I luv Kairi too)
Azumi - December 19, 2005 03:42 AM (GMT)
No, I don't hate her. I actually got mad at Sora when he replaced Namine with Kairi, I was shouting "What are you thinking?! How could you forget Kairi just like that!!" :lol:
Yeah, I'm a fan of SoraxKairi, as for hooking Namine with someone else, I don't have an opinion of that. It doesn't really matter who she's 'with' really.
The other day it did come across my mind of what if Namine was the real evil behind the Organization, it'll be pretty different from other Square games I would think. Don't hate me fans, I like Namine too! I really felt sorry for her in CoM but at the same time I can't help but think how cool it would be if she was a villain.
Ally McBeal - December 19, 2005 07:40 AM (GMT)
no way..in kh2..namine fits with bhk!!!and sora with kairi of course!
Angel Celest - December 19, 2005 05:46 PM (GMT)
bleh, i never really liked Kairi....hell I never liked Sora that much either, but for some reason I love Namine, such a sad, sad character. I hope she gets together with Riku...omg, that would be el smexy.....
Anti-R - December 19, 2005 07:07 PM (GMT)
Never played COM. So I have no opinion of her. I guess I'll have to rely on KH2...
Lutearina - January 5, 2006 10:54 PM (GMT)
At first I hated Namine, but then I thought "Weeeell it IS quite obvious that Sora and Kairi are gonna get together anyway sooooo...." :sweat: I don't mind her so much, but she did seem really weak and the fact that (even though she had no choice) she killed Sora's miiiind...I got really....really...REALLY pissed off at Namine at that point. Especially when Sora started fighting with the Riku Replica about Namine! :mad: Yeah....Well anyway, I just saw a big, fat spoiler that ROCKED so I haff no worries about Namine interfering with my love of SoraxKairi. :heart:
012607 - January 6, 2006 09:43 PM (GMT)
Naminé/Kairi OTP!
Yes, those two are bound to be hated by fanbrats all around- they're women, after all, thus getting in the way of Sora/Riku4evahhh. Eck.
Schala - January 7, 2006 02:32 AM (GMT)
I suppose Namine is going to end up with the BHK. That's good... But doesn't really excite me. I guess I'm not too fond of either? Hopefully I'll change my mind when I play KH2.
Momo Hitsugaya - January 7, 2006 06:25 AM (GMT)
Naminé...eh, I don't like her much. But as long as she doesn't...(I already know she won't...) get in the way of Sokai then I'm fine with her.
Meggie - January 7, 2006 10:11 PM (GMT)
What I can say, I don't know Namine very well and what is her role in the KH series... I will play the KH2 and see...but she is adorable...don't you think?
LeaveOnYourBrightLights - January 12, 2006 03:56 AM (GMT)
Maybe shes Roxa's Kairi :0
Namine is so cute D: I'm a SoraxKairi, but I see nothing wrong with Namine.
Edit: Whoops, didn't realize someone already said something like that xD; My bad
Tyedye/Rin - January 13, 2006 01:54 AM (GMT)
I didn't really like Namine at first, but once she stood with Sora I was all happy! lol. I favor Sora and Kairi of course. but I dont mind if Sora and Namine are friends. :D
chibi15 - February 12, 2006 02:21 AM (GMT)
I like Namine as a character now for what she's done near the end of CoM and KHII. At first I was like 'who's this girl erasing Sora's memories?' and didn't like her much because she was messing with Sora's memories. And I was very shocked at how EASILY Sora forgotten about Kairi when even Donald can mutter parts of her name!!! I was like 'How could you Sora!!!'
But in KHII she is sooooooooo pretty and so helpful with Roxas and Kairi that I actually started to like her and I just love the pairing of Roxas and Naimine!! It's cute how they also represents the couple Sora and Kairi!!And at the end of KHII the cutscene of them is just sooooooo cute!!! :cleris:
Anti-R - February 12, 2006 04:12 AM (GMT)
Having played KH2, I can safely say I like Namine now. :D
