  Something important I&apos;d like to bring up, in the KH1 manga Cid mentions he used a gummiship to bring the FF kids to Traverse Town meaning if Rinoa somehow made it out of Ansem&apos;s devastation of Radiant Garden then she&apos;d be trapped and left behind there. I&apos;d imagine Squall and the rest assumed she died and that letter in KH2 was to let him know she&apos;s ok.<br><br>Another, darker meaning of the letter is that she really did die prior to KH1 and the letter was a final farewell that Squall didn&apos;t have the heart to open until post KH2.

  I think the most likely conclusion is that Rinoa died during the original fall of Hollow Bastion in the fight. The symbol on Leon’s jacket was in her memory and the letter was an unopened message to him from just before that he’d sworn not to open until it was all over.

  I’ve been begging for Lightning to show up and be Kairi’s “Leon/Cloud” figure going forward, but I can’t deny I’d love to see Rinoa finally get her due time in the limelight.

  People go crazy for 0.2 &quot;explaining&quot; Mickey&apos;s absence of a shirt, while this thread that&apos;s been hanging since 2005 is &quot;just a reference, don&apos;t think too hard&quot;.

  the wings fly up like a heart floating up, in the same way a heart released from a heartless floats up. perhaps the letter was her form of lingering will, in that the letter was her final words to leon before she can gained closure/peace and die peacefully or something

  I like the idea that Rinoa is some how linked to quadratum, but that&apos;s probably not the case, but hey stranger things have happened.

  This is legitimately the first time in over a decade someone has actually added something new to the conversation with this franchise. I hope Nomura didn’t “forget” outright. I hope it gets some textual explanation and closure before Nomura’s retirement in the games.

  Nomura: &quot;You want me to add <b>another</b> woman into Kingdom Hearts? I-- how-- Don&apos;t you have <b>enough</b> women? &nbsp;I don&apos;t even want to add Final Fantasy Characters anymore and here you are asking me for a lady FF character in the year of our lord 2024???&quot;

  If she is “dead” then she may be in Quadratum or the Final World, so we may yet see her again. Also, interestingly enough, the VA for Rinoa from the Dissidia series was recently interviewed and when asked when we’ll see Rinoa again, she said she signed an NDA but stated she’s very excited for the future of the character. So I’m optimistic, she’s one of my favorite FF characters!

  I wouldn’t be surprised if they planned to have her in a future game where you help Leon find her, but didn’t happen because of how crazy is own story got
