Exactly what I've been trying to say...

If they remembered everything, why study the connection between Hearts and memory in Castle Oblivion? I'm not saying lot's of memory stays in the heart, just a few important links remain in the Heart.

[Audo]

Because Xemnas wanted to understand the importance of Memories above all else.
If you recall, Xehanort had lost all memories of his life prior to being AtW's apprentice. Xemnas wanted to know how.

[Axel's Fire]

Remember, even though he's a Nobody, Xemnas used to be a scientist and he still has a little of that scientific mentallity. In CoM, Axel says quote ,"...Maybe so. But unlocking its secrets (meaning the secrets of the heart) is the whole reason we, the Organization, exist." Xemnas wants to know more about what he and the other members lack.

[Reno/Axel]

You could also say Xemnas wants to finish what he started as well...

Axel also says in that same game that their most precious memories are locked in their Hearts and out of their reach. The point of the Castle Oblivion research to to find out how Memory interacts with the Heart!

[Audo]

It was to try and find out how memories work, period.

[Reno/Axel]

Thus they used namine because she can alter them for most of the people int he game which is overkill if you ask me >__>

[Audo]

Don't be jealous that Nami = KH God.

Ok first off. You're using Axel's quote out of context. This is the conversation in which Axel uses the quote you brought up:

Axel: Congratulations, Sora. You passed! You're ready to take on Castle
Oblivion. Follow your memories. Trust what you remember, seek what you
forget...and you will find someone very special.

Goofy: You mean Riku and the king?

Axel: Well, I don't know. You'll just have to give some more thought to who's
most important to you. Our most precious memories lie deep in our hearts,
out of reach. But you can find yours, Sora.

In this conversation between Axel and Sora, he's deceiving Sora into going further and further into Castle Oblivion so he can lose his memories in order to "find someone special" ("someone" meaning Namine). So that whole "precious memories lie deep in our hearts" thing is just a load of crap.

[Sephysora]

The org was split to do 2 researches. First=memories second=Hearts

[Audo]

Don't say stuff that isn't fact.

Memories do lie in the heart, unless you're a Nobody.
