Because she is hotter as a loli.

Because she's just the obligatory damsel in distress character that served to give Sora an incentive on his universe saving journey.

Seems like they're trying to give her some sort of depth at least with her having a keyblade now.

Cause it's a female and outside of eye candy we couldn't care less about her.

because you fucks complain about romance in games, and that's literally the only place you can take a girl who didn't train with her friends at all, is magical, and has lady boners for the two main characters.

also because tumblr had a gay gasm because Sora showed emotion for a guy he thought was dead.

In short because vast majority aren't faggots who want a VN in their game and boy love.

Because she's a Princess, quite literally a Princess of Light and they have their prince charming to do all the hard work, not hard to figure out

She was never supposed to be an action hero. Even in KH2 you can tell Nomura was only half heartedly giving her a keyblade

She was supposed to the lady to Sora's Knight.

>Kairi is the incentive to go on his journey
Sorry feminazi, but Riku is.

Nomura is an autist who made KH have a fuck huge story after KH1

Kairi as a oneshot character for a oneshot game is perfect.

Because she never had a very good chance to have any. Most of the series is from Sora's perspective and Kairi is usually the goal Sora is looking for.

Kairi is wacky comic relief tier

She grew up and lost most of her charm. It's one of those cases of a design that works much better as a loli than not.

It's a perfect storm of bad luck
>As the heroine she was comatose for most of KH1
>It wouldn't be realistic for her to fight Xemnas with Sora and Riku after having the keyblade for five minutes
>In COM and Days she has proxies - Namine and Xion.
>By DDD, she can't be a player character because she hasn't used the keyblade enough(Notice a theme?)

No need to even mention BBS and Aqua, because that's just the coup de grace.

So when does Kingdom Hearts 3: Ground Zeroes come out?

He probably wasn't going to do anything with her
But after Aqua happen he probably thought
>Well Aqua was able to fight and be useful in more ways than one, and I need to draw more parallels to Sora and his friends, better make her relevant somehow through a secret ending

I just hope Kairi goes back to her spunky personality from the first game instead of how she acted in 2, she was so boring in 2

Aqua is also popular, and Nomura shills hard for popular characters.

>Sora is constantly getting hints of Kairi throughout KH1 and he literally becomes a heartless to revive her

wew, sorry fujoshi, it's Kairi.

I'll give that Riku may have been in incentive in KH2.

If you are not Aqua, Riku or Xehanort you're not relevant anymore. What the fuck happened to this series?

I for one blame Aqua

You're forgetting Sora

Worst girl

>filename

Reminder we're getting trailers for 2.8 and 1.5+2.5 at Jump Festa in 10 days.

And rumors say KH3 trailer too

If it's Frozen I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD

Tell me, OP, what characters in all of KH, nay any Nomura game, have any real development?

hardmode: slapping more zippers on them doesn't count as character development

January 24

Riku.

Riku.

Blueberry Muffin is getting some development in 0.2.

Roxas, kind of.

Axel for sure.

Diz/Ansem the Wise

Cloud.

Sephiroth

hes gonna be directing nomore-a games after this shithead

He goes through changes, I'll give you that. Too bad it's in the most cringey and predictable way possible.

>Blueberry Muffin is getting some development in 0.2.

If you consider insomnia and PTSD development, sure!

haha gotemm

Yeah, now.

>give me character development
>here, Riku
>WELL I DON'T LIKE IT!

>Riku isn't in the top five
>Despite being the best developed
Fujoshi were a mistake

>Riku
sidekick to edgelord to hero

Not great, but something happens I guess.

>Aqua?
We'll see.

>Roxas
bland nobody got a retconned backstory where he was still a bland nobody

>Axel
It's not great, he just stands out among the boring villain routine that every other member of XIII perpetuates.

>DiZ/Ansem the Wise
I'm not seeing it. Maybe because he spent so much time behind the scenes.

>Cloud
written by Nojima and Kitase. You can't give Nomura credit for copying someone else's work, unless next you're going to claim all the Disney characters growth is to his credit .

I'd conceded there was character development, and gave my opinion on said development. Goddamn the KH fanbase is sensitive...

>not wanting cute elsa with her ice magic as companion

Well I don´t switch my companions since the hollow bastion scene in part 1, because I am an autist but I would fuck elsa.

Not Nomura's character.

>DiZ
How about the part where he became a total douche to everyone because of MUH REVENGE and then died redeemed while saving everyone?

I mean that's still development.

Also I was talking about KH Cloud, who does develop from KH1 to KH2

But it's plain you just want to dump on KH's writing, which is kind of like shooting fish in a barellel. No one is praising this story as War and Peace

>"Upcoming announcements this winter" can possibly be happening in 10 days

About fucking time, we haven't seen a new build since E3 2015.

Drive form screenshots though

We'll be lucky if he does forget about her. I shudder to think what he'll do next...

ign.com/articles/2013/06/13/e3-2013-final-fantasy-xv-was-almost-a-musical

So glad Tabata replaced him on FFXV...

>........
Fuck off

This. Why couldn't they keep it nice and simple? Just a boy traveling through Disney worlds looking for his friends.

Gooch egged him on

101% agreed. The dream-like simplicity of the first game was amazing, allowing the player to fill in the vague gaps with their own imagination, adding to the interactivity. When he starting complicating things by adding way too many unnecessary details.. It lost a lot of charm.

Princess of Light, it was literally her job to be a damsel in distress for the first game. Second Game she got a keyblade and fought after getting free in the last act of the game. BBS had some of her backstory. KH3D showed she's going to start training. She'll be fighting by the time KHIII comes.

Berserker Kairi is coming, and it'll be glorious

I just want to see the gameplay in a new build though, every new trailer completely trumps the older footage.

Luminous KH3 looks like dogshit compared to E3 2015, and that looks slower than the Jump Festa build, and .2 straight up feels like a KH2 game, I want to see those drive forms in motion already fuck.

>Jump Festa in 10 Days
Can I hope for FFVII-R shit too? I want to see Aerith and Tifa

You can hope all you want :^)
