His character design hasn't changed at all recently. We are talking about his old concept art that was drawn before the original Birth by Sleep came out compared to how his 3D model looks in Birth by sleep. He didn't change much from his concept art. There are a few minor changes though.

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).

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD! 
 
Roxas appeared twice in the newest Kingdom Hearts III trailer. The first time, we saw him as a memory or illusion in the Big Hero 6 world, and then we saw something that looked like the REAL him in Twilight Town. Was that really Roxas and how did he return? I have a THEORY  :biggrin:
 
Exhibit A:
How can we be sure that was really Roxas? The truth is, we can't be 100% sure, but we do know from this trailer that Sora, Donald, Goofy and the Twilight Trio are going to try to return Roxas to the real world by going to the other Twilight Town and finding his data. So Roxas would obviously return in Twilight Town and since that's where we saw him, we can assume that the Roxas we saw was either Data-Roxas or the real Roxas.

 
Exhibit B:
Let's say that was Data-Roxas, what would they do with him? Why do they need Data-Roxas? Well, Roxas' heart exists within Sora (confirmed in the E3 showcase trailer and in DDD...kinda), but it doesn't have a vessel to exist in. My guess is that they're going to use Roxas' data or Data-Roxas as a vessel for his heart. So the Roxas we saw will eventually become the real Roxas if he wasn't already.

 
Exhibit C:
 Now why do I think they're going to use Data-Roxas as a vessel for Roxas' heart. I don't even have evidence that data can physically exist outside the Datascape. OR DO I? HA! We know from the BH6 trailer that data CAN exist in the real world as we saw the bug blox appear in San Fransokyo and it seems from that trailer that Roxas has not returned when Sora visits San Fransokyo, in particular because of the "Roxas memory" scene. 

Also, a lot of us in the community think that the norted Riku we saw was actually Data-Riku, meaning that Xehanort would've brought Data-Riku in the real world and used his body as a vessel for his heart.

My guess is that when Sora visits San Fransokyo and sees all the data shenanigans happen with Data-Riku, he gets the idea that he can do the same thing with Roxas! An idea, confirmed by Ienzo in the E3 Showcase Trailer. So Sora, returns to Twilight Town to find Roxas' data and return Roxas to the world.

 
Exhibit D:
But Xemnas and Ansem said Sora would have to abandon himself to darkness for Roxas to return. I think that's where the famous "Key to Return Hearts" comes into play. We'll see I guess.
 
Exhibit E:
I do think that that was the real Roxas at the end of the trailer, why not Data-Roxas? Well, remember the KHDDD opening movie. Roxas appeared there alongside Ventus AND Sora, hinting at him being his own person. And he was wielding a Keyblade...what keyblade you ask? Oblivion...the same keyblade he's wielding in the Big Hero 6 trailer. Coincidence? I think not.


 
So what do you guys think?

I agree,Lea should really have a new design,why should he keep the black coat now,he doesn't need it,unless there's a story justification and maybe he'll remove it in the middle of the game or something.

From all the people you can Nort... You had to choose Demxy and Vexen really? Did you had no one left one your list 0_0

In a way, part of me kinda wished that I didn't know internet so I wouldn't know what kind of worlds have been confirmed. Buuuuut I also don't mind it cause I like knowing what I'm getting into haha

As much as I love that Riku got his first car. I gotta say the pirate in me is loving the POTC Keyblade <3

he better not

You assume that people in KH actually die. There's no death in KH, only hiatuses.
 
Even if death was a thing in this franchise, I can't see it happening to Riku for a variety of reasons. Main reason is that I don't see a point, plot-wise or character development-wise. It'd just seem like such a waste. Riku spent how many games going through all those lessons about conquering darkness and not being a dick to your friends... and just dies? Like, why? Can't Riku spend the finale being cool and enjoying his spiffy Master title, and give some space for the other characters who desperately need development? Like that chick, what's-her-face... Kari or something. I think I remember her.
 
Plus I just like Riku and don't wanna see him gone. And stuff.

Why does that matter? Eraqus was a keyblade master but he died.

interesting comments, wonder what that dragon sora would have been like

Which of the Worlds revealed so far would you want a KH3 poster of?

Xion heard that there was something good in the freezer...
 

 
And she was right! It's sea salt ice cream!
 

 
Those pops seem a little too big for her though...
 
Luckily I also made smaller ones!
 

 
Better eat up before it melts any more!
 

 
 
Sorry about the phone camera lol. But the ice cream tasted really good! It feels accomplishing to finally have an idea of what sea salt ice cream tastes like!  :biggrin: Hopefully Roxas & Axel will be able to join her next time!
 
I followed this recipe if anyone is curious to make them too! https://youtu.be/u7-Zxasvksk?list=LLLf05PgEpz6QQ255_9I9Vew

Think we all did!

I was thinking about that the other day when I rewatched the DDD scene in that round table/chair room. I kinda found it odd that he's still wearing an Organization XIII coat, even though he's acting like he's done with it. Wouldn't you think he'd throw it off? To get his self away from it.

I think the reason that he still wears the black coat is that he still uses the corridors of darkness and the black coat protects him from the darkness as he uses them.

I do think this is an amazing theory, but I reeeealy hope it's not true. I don't want all the members of the original organization to become members of the new one. I'd like to see Lea play the hero and fight alongside Sora, Riku and Kairi for a change. I'm also hoping that Ienzo doesn't turn out to be a Nort. I'm interested to see what his personality is like as a whole person.
 
As for Lea's wardrobe, I completely agree that he needs a change. Lose the organization coat and get something more fitting and flashy, man!

Maybe he'll be a darkness and so it'll happen in KH4 seriously, come on guys, how can you didn't think of that possibility? He even obtained the keyblade after saving Sora from the Xehanort's heart! And guess what? XEHANORT HAVE EVEN SMILED AT THAT! He's obviously a nort, the old man is just waiting for the perfect moment to take control of his mind...

Where's Riku?!?!

You know you can die from to much excitement right? CAUSE THAT HOW I FEEL.
 
But no we kinda already knew before E3 that they're will be "only" three trailers at E3.

I don't know if I'm the only one thinking this, I know it's not seriously important to the story plot, buuuuut. When's our boy Lea gonna get a wardrobe change?! There's no way he's gonna be in that coat forever, I mean come one! He's a whole person now! Let the guy express himself, instead of being in an Organization XIII coat! Unless it'll somehow assist the story line, which I'm not completely sure how it would, but for real. He needs a change too!
 
 
For real though, I can't be the only one thinking this, right?!

Honestly I wouldn't think so. But they already surprised us with not one, not two, but THREE trailers, so who knows what they got up their sleeve? Maybe another world announcement or something. But probably not another trailer.
