Are you confusing her with Xion?
Pretty much. Hell, global KHUX players so far didn't even get to experience KHUX's version of the Keyblade War, that little bit o' story stayed in Japan on the browser version.

No, though now that I think about it, Xion fits that description more. But don't most people not know/remember who Namine is? It feels like they just kinda forget about her in-universe.
Apparently some old trailers on the channel got hit by copyright claims over the holidays and weren't resolved in time. Peer says they've contacted Youtube about it so hopefully it should be back up soon.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy forgot, but no one else. And even Sora had some sort of idea of who she was after fully absorbing Roxas in TWTNW. Sora's promise to Naminé has come up in later games quite a bit.
I see. My memories are a bit iffy, but last thing I remember is the "Thank Namine" note and how Sora and co. didn't recognize the name. And I think towards the end of II she appears before them again? What happened then?
Agreed. Namine is the only person who hasn't been mentioned at all in all KH3 talk/trailers
She helped Kairi escape, then merged with her. After the first couple of Xemnas phases, ghost Naminé (best way I can explain it, only Sora and Kairi can see her) opens a corridor of darkness so everyone can escape, then she talks to ghost Roxas for a bit. At the start of the next Xemnas phase, Sora tells Riku that he wanted to thank her, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
Yeah unlike Roxas, Namine has accepted her faith as being part of Kairi and doesn't seem to want to get out and be her own person.
Okay, so she's back inside Kairi since then, right? She still seems to play a part in III. But her ending up back inside Kairi feels anti-climactic.
Let's say that I don't need to care about traits: I pulled Aqua after two tries with her banner: this means I can actually keep going at her banner and have an equal chance of getting Supernova Ven and Terra?
I sincerely doubt Nomura has forgotten about Namine. He brought her back in 3D during Sora's bizzare nightmare, she's on the cover of III, Data-Namine was the one who told Mickey about Terra, Ventus and Aqua. I don't know what sort of ending he has for her, but she will get one.
According to the banner's pull odds, yes. Whether you actually will, is another story.
Think this is my last question but like...why do Ventus and Sora look alike again? Like I get that their hearts were linked, but wasn't Sora already born by that point? Did he just change what he originally looked like because of the connection ala Riku into Ansem but more boy bandish? Would he have looked completely different if not for the heart connection?
The same reason that Young Xehanort and Terra look alike, it's just to show similarities between the characters.
when sora released his and kairi's hearts in the original game, how come Ventus's heart did not also get removed. Was it because his heart at that time was still too weak so it most likely had no effect. Since Sora and Kairi had really strong hearts they release and of course nobody's are created at that time due to releasing of their hearts.
Pretty much. Ven's heart hadn't fully healed at the time, so it just stayed in Sora's body and went on to create Roxas.
Because Ventus wasn't a thing then. I don't think they ever gave an explanation.
She can be in the game and still be ignored compared to everyone else.
I kinda doubt it. The "blank points" from KH BBS treats her as one of the people to be saved.
Just to remind / inform everyone that hasn't done it yet or doesn't know about it, you can still get a code to unlock the Starlight keyblade in KH3 from playing the Classic Kingdom mini-games in KHUX. I just finished them now. I don't think a date was ever given for when this ends (or if it necessarily will) but I planned on doing it when it was announced and forgot but wanted to make sure I had it done in time.
Apparently..
You can earn it after Big Hero 6 world and the code just unlocks it early
I feel I'm pretty knowing on KH and I'd love to see this explained (If it hasn't already), but how exactly did all of Xehanorts selves gather at the end of KH3D? Also how can Master Xehanort and his heartless/nobody forms co exist also? (Not sure if this is to be explained in KH3 or we're meant to already know how?)
Other thing I noticed some of the Xehanorts have orange eyes, mainly Xemnas/SoD and Saix. Is there a reason for this also?
I think she's gonna play a little part, but this is the worst reasoning I've seen. Kairi was in the cover of KHII but had less of a part to play compared to Namine in the same game, who wasn't even on the cover.
Both Kairi and Naminé have basically the same importance in the game, if anything Naiminé is the one that gets severely underused in that one.
Edit: And by the way, don't know if you noticed but we quoted someone saying she will be ignored in KH III, which doesn't even have anything to do to what you replied us lol

I've just finished DDD and I'm still wrapping my head round it but I think it's down to the time travel aspect, they can move/be brought forward in time like Young Xehanort, but once they return to their correct point in time, there memory of the future is wiped (YX mentions this at some point), hence why Ansem and Xemnas aren't aware of the future plot at the end of their respective games.
Anyone with orange eyes has been taken over by Xehanort. Braig makes a comment about this as he's only half Xehanort.
Tbh, I only found this all out on my most recent playthrough, I must have just missed it all when I originally played it on 3DS trying to figure out what the time travel and people in Sora's heart was about (I'd skipped 356 and Recoded back then that covered some of that).
In addition to / in agreement with the other comments above, I thought Xehanort brought them all forward from the past. He was looking for his thirteenth vessel - Sora - and he needed his other selves to help take over him.
Thanks! Yeah thought it was the case with everyone that they were only brought to that point temporarily.
Also.I understand the yellow eyes are that, but not heard about orange. Saix/Xemnas/SoD seem to have have orange eyes though compared to others who have yellow... though looking at the KH3 trailers they all appear to have the same eye colour again now so not sure it really meant anything?
Ah right, never noticed that and not heard anything relating to it, as you say in the trailer they have the same so possibly just a hiccup in the DDD models I guess?
Presumably their Heartless were among the many you've slain throughout the games.
Ansem is a unique case for "reasons". Everyone else just turns into a generic type of heartless, same as Sora turning into a basic Shadow in KH1.
Because Heartless don't look like that. Ansem is a special case, and even then, he only looks human when possessing Riku's body. He's normally just a mass of darkness with a cloak.
Same reason why Sora's Heartless form took the shape of a Shadow when Roxas was born. Your Heartless generally don't keep a human form, according to the real Ansem in his reports in KH2, Xehanort's willing abandonment of his heart is what allowed his Heartless to retain a human form.
The hooded figure is a Time Travelling Ansem/Xehanort whatever who left his body behind according to Dream Drop Distance, at least that's what I gathered from it but it's damn confusing.Because Heartless don't look like that. Ansem is a special case, and even then, he only looks human when possessing Riku's body. He's normally just a mass of darkness with a cloak.
I had the exact same thought, checking the wiki it supports the idea he was always a brown coat until he possessed Riku, but going by what the games say it's not the most clear if that is time travelling Ansem or Ansem before the story (hell it could be both and he's stuck in a closed time loop).
From the context of the ongoing discussion prior to that comment, I think it's clear that by "ignored" the other person didn't mean 100% ignored. It's just that she's not gonna be more than an afterthought and not play a large part.
I believe it's both. He was in that form in kh1 when we see him on destiny islands as he had she'd his body, but the person we see at the beginning of 3D is the one that came back in time to mess up the mark of mastery.
Release order.
KH1 > Re:CoM > KH2 > Days (movie) > BBS > Re:coded (movie) > 3D > Back Cover (movie) > 0.2 > KH3
I'd also recommend watching the cutscenes from KHX/UX since information from that will probably be relevant to some degree in KH3.

Also, don't be afraid to just watch summaries / recaps of 358/2 Days and Re:coded. Actually, the versions of those two games on PS3 and PS4 are just cutscene compilations. Similarly, Back Cover is just a movie version of part of the story of x / Union Cross, but from a different point of view.
