Well, before everything, for those who haven't played Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded, this might come as spoiler for you, so if you don't want to get spoiled, I suggest you stop reading now...
OK, so who might this be?:
(Riku in the trailer) WHO IS ME???
There are two clues in the picture that will made you think who this is, first the hair, different that Riku himself, secondly the background, the world is Monstro.
Okay, here is what I thought that might be him:
Spoiler
I will call him Journal-Riku for now.
Yes! Jiminy Journal Riku from re:coded! It would really make sense to me that Journal-Riku will appear in Monstro world as it is where Jiminy is. How did Jiminy's original journal came in the world? I don't know. But something tells me, that Journal-Riku is going to tell the real Riku about the 'hurting', about the trio (Terra, Ven and Aqua) and the stuff that has been happening.
I think it might be data Riku. Because in the short version of this trailer Maleificent is talking about some kind of world data. I think that Sora might meet Data Sora too. But to me I think Square is going to far with this data thing. I just hope that the story doesn't get screwed up because of it. (don't get mad, you know what I mean)
I'm think Riku Replica. Why the cloak? I don't know, but it seems like every one is having one these days. I just see it more likely to be the Riku Replica than Data-Riku.
you know i notice those things two when watching the trailer and thats a good theory and it might actaully be true but im also thinking it could be replica riku im not sure how he would have came back since the real riku beat him in CoM but still just have to wait and play the game to see (trying not to spoil myself so i said play lol)
Actually, the Data-Riku idea is pretty plausible. Esepecially since he seems to be found within Monstro's stomach. And Jiminy is nearby, which means his journal might be too. But what this Riku's intentions are is beyond me.

Yes, Replica-Riku was beat up by not one, but two protagonists in CoM, Sora and Riku. Riku being the one who annihilated him. Vexen died and there's no way he could create a replica again? and the fact that he is in Monstro would be weird if that is in fact replica Riku. Also, I would think that Replica-Riku wouldn;t wear an organization cloak. There's just too many versions of riku, I find that annoying lol
Spoiler
There's no definite reason why 'other' KH3D Riku wears a cloak, but what i have in mind (if he is in fact the journal-riku) is that the 'page' in which journal-riku came from was printed during the time when he was with Mickey and they both wear organization cloaks to prevent them from being spotted by other organization members (Remember when Riku used to wear a cloak?). That maybe the reason why journal-riku wears them.
Just how many Riku's are there?! I think it might be Data Riku. That or it's just Ansem S.O.D messing with Riku. Either way we'll all find out when the game comes out.
Nah his just looking in the mirror duh lol jk nah its either replica riku or data riku same shit anyway, were still going to find out when it comes out right
