NOMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

NOMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i dont get what the issue is

He upgraded his keyblade to a carkey ? Maybe that :D

>:D
You have to go back

Decent design if the plaid parts were just solid color. Also, no belts on the jacket and gloves? Nomura is reeling it in this time around.

I assume it's the 4 belts on his shoes and the 6 belts on his pants.

He looks like shit, what the fuck happened?

Looks like fenrir

Literally Noctis.

Why did riku join a ska band

Didn't know there was a noctis costume in the game. That's pretty cool

This is literally just Noctis. The only thing Riku about this is the hair color. They even changed his keyblade to look more like a sword than a key

Is Noct the new Lightning?

So I guess Riku is just Noctis now.

Looks great, typical awesome design work from Tetsuya Nomura, can't wait to see the others, ty OP for showing this :)

>green eyes instead of aqua
NOMURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

SE just revealed KH3!Riku's Play Arts Figure.

We get a better look at his new Keyblade here.

Now that is a man's keyblade. Why is this guy not the main protagonist again? He was already better than Sora in every way before, but now it's just not even fair. This design is seriously solid. The only thing that irks me is the length of his...pants? They're too long to be shorts, but they're too short to be pants. If you added the plaid to the lower pockets and got rid of the lower band of plaid on his pants altogether, the pants length would be a little more practical without getting rid of too much of the plaid theme.

Why is Nomura putting that square pattern on everyone now?
It's also on Mickey and Sora

>CAR LOCKER

Aside from the belts and zippers which is standard nomura fare, there's nothing wrong with it.

He was basically the main character of DDD.

>a man's keyblade
That's an oxymoron.

What the fuck is this Toyota ass blade he got?

>Rikunoct with Ignis' VA
>MoM has Noctis' VA
This is getting out of hand.

RIP WtD.

Carkeyblade is worse in comparison

I like the not-Fenrir more than Way to Dawn.

The gloves are retarded too

DDD Riku was Riku at his absolute kino, fight me

>only gets to be the main character in the second-worst Kingdom Hearts game
What a fucking tragedy.

I disagree. I wouldn't mind whacking somebody with one of these.

It’s the key to the Regalia

>Nomura is THIS salty that he didnt get to make Noctis' game

>a literal car key
okay but why

...

Holy shit he really looks like Noctis here

I seriously like it and a modern key makes a good looking keyblade.

woah...

I wonder why it took till now to do different key types outside Fenrir?

Monsters Inc. Keyblade looks decent at least

WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS NOMURA?! WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS DESIGN NOMURA?! WHAT'S WITH THE FUCKING CAR KEY NOMURA?! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE LIGHT AND DARKNESS THING HE HAD GOING ON NOMURA!

EVEN THE KEYCHAIN IS JUST MICKEY'S FUCKING HEAD

...

>so many types of key designs to chose from
>picks the gay super modern design

MY SIDES bravo square

Might be that he looks just like Noctis.

I feel embarrassed for Nomura

PATHETIC

Wow noctits really does look like Riku.

Looks awesome, don't get why being similar to Noctis is a bad thing either he looks awesome too.

...

It’s has mixed elements of the FFXV gang.
It’s literally Noct
Prompto's outfit has plaid, albeit red
The Keyblade is Gladio's greatsword
I can’t find anything Ignis with though

w2c those boots?

>a literal key
okay but why

>riku could have been DADDY tier
>instead becomes noctis

I really wish they let Riku keep is KH2 hair.

Ignis voice actor is doing his voice.

Noctis only looks good when he's older and wearing a suit.

>Yfw its revealed that Noctis and Luna are Riku's parents in the KH universe
>yfw its revealed that Bartz and Faris are Sora's parents.

>those circular grooves
I'd dig them more if they weren't circular and went all the way through the blade, as it stands it looks like a plastic club.

What's with all the hate for the new keyblade? After all the gaudy, off-the-wall designs we normally see, it's refreshing to see one that's a little more distinct and classy, not to mention much more like an actual fucking weapon. It's been a while since we've had a minimalist keyblade design. I like it a lot, myself.

Too bad he looks weird as hell because he has a middle-aged man's face but the body of a teenager

>Play Arts

I actually like the new design but I'll be damned if I ever touch that cheap chink shit.

Gonna have to be a contrarian here and say that I like the design. It fits Riku's current design (and is pretty hilarious when you take into account the car in FF15 and the fact that he looks like Noctis) and honestly it's a good contrast to Sora's Kingdom Key.

>to look more like a sword than a key
Soul Eater and Way to the Dawn are both fairly sword-like. In fact I'd say they're more sword-like than Riku's new Keyblade.

Some people just like gaudy, tacky-looking monstrosities. Bad taste I suppose. I dig it, though I've always had a thing for the blocky/bulky looking keyblades like Fenrir, Metal Chocobo, Earthshaker, etc.

>Way to Dawn: "I use light and darkness"
>Ferrari key: "I'M NOOTRAL"
The design itself isn't a problem, It's been said a few times that it's similar to Fenrir, the problem is Way to Dawn represents Riku's whole fucking character and they ditched it for this.

The fact that monster Sora is bottomless still bugs the shit out of me. Dickless merman: fine, straight-up animal: fair enough, but the fact that he wears clothes on SOME parts of his body but not others really lampshades how nude he actually is. I never liked that type of design for cartoon characters.

someone post the "every kingdom hearts thread" image

>this was Riku's best keyblade
>never used again after KH1

It hurts

ansem riku is best riku

I have a question as someone whose never played any of the games. Is Riku supposed to be more popular than sora or something? Or his he liked more on the dev team?

>saying this in a universe that has Donald Duck as a main character

>I can’t find anything Ignis with though
His wicked sense of humor

Why does this ugly anorexic rat dog have so much porn?

>Bartz and Faris

You mean Bartz and Leena. Or maybe he dicked all three of them.

this. it really accentuates the fact that hes also a manlet

I don't dislike it but I dislike the fact that it doesn't share any features the previous keyblades had.

Pretty much what he's saying.

>Noctis and Luna
>not Noctis and Ignis
He's literally a mix of the two.

Y'know, I never realized it until now, but yeah I think the no pants thing is what really makes that Sora look weird.

If you wanna get into the themes of it, I think WtD represents a blending of light and dark that is not yet homogenous, but now Riku is so accustomed to both that there's no real distinction. Everything just seems to make him stronger now. He's actually transcended his definition as someone who's both light and dark; now, he's neither, he is just himself.

this can only mean one thing

Yep looks like a nomura character all right. generic anime hair guy with a bunch of belts and monotone plaid meant to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

He's "the rival" character to Sora its been that way since the first game

He's just emaciated after not eating anything for a decade.

it's retarded, but I think it's just for Riku to get rid of the Gazing Eye.

>implying I'm any more okay with that than kinky otherkin Sora

The pattern is called gingham.

The Gooch's Keyblade is probably my favorite in the series.

>tfw no giant club-like cruciform key keyblade

dat omega rape

penis in hand

In Japan, when you have to choose between the brown hair anime boy and the silver hair anime boy, the one with the more vibrant hair will win.

A fucking fireplace poker

Sully and Mike are also completely naked, and they're even less justified given there are monsters with clothes in their own movie! If anything Sora's trying to be the polite one amongst the five.

i can ironically see Lightning McQueen getting in as a summon.

Starts off as the typical JRPG rival character. Hell the first thing he does in KH1 is challenge Sora to a race to see who would share some fruit with Kairi. Becomes evil and all that shit too. By this game though, he's a complete bro to Sora.

>We're never getting Soul Eater again
FUCK

Same shit as a lot of stories from Japan, the rival usually gets a lot of development because they have to be more enjoyable faster than the main character because they get less screen time.

Why are all the best keyblade designs in the game with the worst keyblades? Why did BBS regress the mechanic to its KH1 caveman design of just generic numbers and a negligible difference in reach?

that fucking key lol

>the best keyblade is a hideous twisted candy cane thing
urgh

Literally my car key
