roxas does not look like sora but more like ven from kingdom hearts birth by sleep. this is because ven's heart integrated with sora's making sora use the keyblade and why roxas looks like him.
The out-of-game reason is that they have similar builds, and thus use slightly edited character models.
SPOILER WARNING For KH1 And KH2 End Game Cutscenes
The story reason is that Roxas is Sora's nobody, created when Sora unlocked his heart to save Kairi at the end of the first Kingdom Hearts game.
And, as shown by other characters, there is a strong resemblence between the original character and the nobody.
Roxas isn't Sora, he's Sora's Nobody.
No sora is roxas, well roxas is half of sora, because roxas is soras nobody.
Roxas is Sora's nobody. If you take out the x in Roxas and unscramble it, you will get Sora. Ventus' heart was absorbed by Sora soon after his battle with Vanitas inside their fused heart. It is because of this that Roxas looks like Ventus.
Roxas and Sora look different because 1) It would be hard to tell them apart. 2) Roxas is Sora's other part of him. and 3) There needs to be a least one hot guy!!! ( Sorry Sora ya just don't cut it)
Roxas is Sora's Nobody, so Roxas was referring to Sora as Roxas' "other" part or half of Roxas.
no roxas is sora's nobady and there more like brothers.
It could be a yes and no answer at the same time because Roxas is Sora's nobody. But I say no because he is known as Roxas not as Sora. If he was the actual Sora, he would be called Sora, and basically have the same friends, life, and past. But, he is Sora's nobody so he is sort of like related to him in a way.
Roxas reawakens Sora by returning to him. Sora regains his memories from Roxas, since they had been in Roxas while Sora had been asleep.
No. When Sora was turned into a Heartless, Roxas was created as Sora's Nobody. Roxas is the shell Sora left behind when he was transformed into a Heartless, even though Sora later got his heart back. So Sora is not Roxas's Heartless; Sora, to Roxas, is what's known as an Other. An Other is a Nobody's original self. None of the Organization XIII members have an Other who's still alive; Roxas and Sora are a unique case.
Roxas and Ven are the same people, at the end of birth by sleep Ven asked Sora if he could keep his heart in Sora. So throughout all the other kingdom hearts games that Sora was in Ven was inside of him (just like Kairi in the first game). when he became a heartless, and a nobody ven's heart became Roxas.
Roxas is Sora's nobody remember? So Roxas has memories of Sora and Kairi being together.
nothing but its roxas's (sora's nobody's) town where roxas grew up but it means nithing to sora.
