Will Roxas appearance stay the same?

[Fates Chance XIII 307]

So we all know that the reason Roxas looks like Ventus is because his heart was being harbored inside him. And we also know that the heart shapes the vessel it's in- giving it its appearance. Meaning if Roxas didnt have Ventus heart inside of him when he was born, he would probably look closer to Sora in appearance. 

 

So i had a thought: if Roxas were to get his own heart after or during KH3, would he get a completely new appearance to match his new heart? Would he look more similar to Sora, since he does come from his after all? Or maybe change only slightly from what it is now (ie, new hair or eyes or something) Or maybe stay the same? (though i dont see why it would considering that Ventus heart would no longer be inside him.)

 

What do you think? You think they'll change his appearance if this happens? Going by the logic of the game it would make sense if it did change, but I have grown attached to his appearance as it is so i would be a bit sad to see it change completely. But if they kept it completely the same, it wouldn't make much sense in the logic of the game. I put my vote in that they would change his appearance only slightly.

I'm pretty sure they'll keep his appearance the same. Roxas grew his own heart alongside of Ventus', so that probably influenced his heart and how he will now look without Ven's influence. In 2.5, Roxas' model looks more like Sora than Ven, actually. It's Sora's face with Ven's hair, so they'll probably do that again.

Roxas grew his own heart that was based on memories, experiences, and emotions he had as well as the connections he had with others. His appearance will prolly be based on how others remember and see him and how he himself sees himself.

Roxas may have gotten his appearance from Ventus's heart, but he grew into his own being over time, so he will always look that way no matter what. He's not going to change appearance.

now that I think about it, is that what that weird line about "You see me the way you remember me" be about?

 yeppers!

I think he would look more or less the same because he was growing his own heart while Ven's heart was inside of him.  That heart might have been influenced by Ven's.  But I just don't see him changing appearance because he had his own heart by the end.

What I'm wondering is after Vens heart gets taken out and its influence stops shaping his vessel what will he look like. I mean, he grew his own heart well after his vessel was already made. Who knows if his appearance may have changed if he had been allowed to exist for longer with Vens and his own heart inside him. And his new heart may not have had that huge an effect while Vens was still inside him in the beginning. But after Vens heart gets taken out, I dont see why his body wouldnt change at least slightly in accommodation with its new heart. But i think it would probably only change slightly. I mean, by the end of Days he has darker eyebrows than Ven- so his new heart may already have been starting to influence things.

 

And since he gave Sora his body back, technically to come back and be his own person he's going to need a new body to go with his new heart. I mean, unless they're going to give him Soras again (which i doubt is going to happen). And with this new blank body, his heart will shape it to probably look somewhat like his old one. But there would have to be changes because his new heart was not a clone of Vens.

 

 Also, having two characters on screen who have the exact same appearance, as well as the same voice actor would get slightly confusing. I mean, how other than their clothes are we supposed to tell them apart? Unless they wanna show their full bodies on screen  so we can see their clothes every time each one of them is talking when they are in the same room.Or maybe they plan to have some running joke where everyone keeps mixing up Roxas and Ven. Which would be a bit amusing to see, i must admit.

I could see a slight change happening.  But wouldn't be surprised if Nomura just threw something random in there just for the heck of it.

HAHAHAHA! Yes, yes as he does! I just cant wait to see what they have planned.

[khoathkeeper13 429]

I pretty sure he'll stay the same because of what Flaming Lea said with the whole 'how others remember him' thing.

 

Plus inside of Sora's heart at the end of DDD Roxas looks the same.  Both him and Ventus are probably separate now that they are inside of Sora again, so Ven might not be able to influence him anymore.

This is a very interesting topic!  And well, I've never thought that Roxas's appearance would change, but giving into consideration all the factors present, I'm sure that he'll stay the same, albeit with minor differences to tell him and Ven apart. (Such as maybe slightly different facial proportions/darker hues of hair, maybe slight skin tones to tell them apart, etc.)  But who's to say what's to happen?  I agree with Fates Chance though, I'd just love it if Sora and the others had a hard time guessing who was Ven and who was Roxas, lol, the poor things, they'd be irritated!

[Komali 594]

Maybe Ven will share his body with Roxas. Two guys, one body. It would be cool somehow, but it won't happen.

[Kibo 10]

I am hoping that it will get changed, given that he is in KH 3
