Ok so first I apologize if this is posted in the wrong area but I noticed at the end of the extended trailer that there is a scene on Destiny Islands where Sora is sitting on the large tree with Kairi and Riku is no where to be seen. I’m wondering if Riku does infact die. He’s pretty much reached his story ark and done everything he’s set out to do. I truly hope he isn’t dead but it would definitely make the story or the ending as Nomura said hard to take.

Yeah I know he will die since he got a new Keyblade.

His part of the story is done I think he will die I think Aqua will die aswell.

At the chessboard you see that there will be 2 deaths from the lights.

That's a really fast conclusion. Just because they are alone doesn't mean Riku's dead. In my opinion that occurs in the middle of the game where Riku is still on the RoD (or just elsewhere) and Sora and Kairi have a little reunion at Destiny Islands

Riku and Sora were sitting together on the tree by the end of KHII. Kairi wasn't dead. Pretty sure they're just FINALLY having a moment alone (long overdue).

NO! I refuse! Riku will live!!

I can be wrong Riku could sit together with Repliku while Sora&Kairi are on the tree.

Or that could be a scene after he is dead.

Not for long though Kairi brought them a letter.

We haven't seen the whole scene. Who's to say Riku wasn't there earlier or won't join them after. Or just not be there at all without necessarily being dead. To be honest, I always imagined KHIII would end with Kairi and Sora watching the sunset together (a feeling that only got stronger when I heard the theme song) so I really don't think that has anything to do with Riku's fate. That being said, I wouldn't put it past Nomura to kill Riku in this game.

If anything. I think that scene will be like a "Calm before the storm" scene. Everyone gathers at Destiny Island before the final battle
