Full Famitsu Scans

[Arausio]

oh wow.. thats really something lol

well hopefully he looks kinda kool without the helmet...

 

[Ehres]

Well, pretty much every character in the series has thick eyelashes, but who has them that thick?

Also, are Riku's brows silver?

If you're trying to work out who Vanitas resembles, I'd try and work out who he doesn't resemble to start with.

 

[Sacred X]

Why does it have to be an eyebrow? Why can't it be a bandana or something?

 

[Ehres]

Why would he be wearing a bandanna if he's wearing a helmet? XD

 

[maggosh]

Why would he be wearing a bandanna if he's wearing a helmet? XD

Don't bikers wear bandanas under their helmets?

 

[Ehres]

Don't bikers wear bandanas under their helmets?

Geh, true. But going by the impressions of Vanitas we've had so far, he doesn't seem the type to wear a bandanna under his helmet. But that's merely my perception.

Also, I don't think Vanitas could be Dilan purely because Dilan's literally a grown man, who's quite bulky.

 

[Arausio]

wat if its master eraqus??

i mean he seems to be mia..

 

[Lonbilly]

I doubt there would be a bandanna under that helmet though. Unless it's Nomura's new thing seeing as how Lea and Braig both have one. But I doubt there's a bandanna.

 

[maggosh]

Geh, true. But going by the impressions of Vanitas we've had so far, he doesn't seem the type to wear a bandanna under his helmet. But that's merely my perception.

Perhaps it's a headband. Think about it; he's wearing a helmet and he has to keep the hair out of his eyes.

 

[Ehres]

Perhaps it's a headband. Think about it; he's wearing a helmet and he has to keep the hair out of his eyes.

Maybe, but the more I look, the more the eye looks like the ones that KH/CoM Sora had.

Also, is that a dark circle I see? Under his eye I mean.

 

[maggosh]

Maybe, but the more I look, the more the eye looks like the ones that KH/CoM Sora had.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Although, the inside of Vanitas' eyelash seems thicker, while Sora's is thicker on the outside. And I don't exactly see a dark circle.

 

[SilentTrinity]

i see the black circle
might be that Ven went through something stressful?
or he just can't sleep..

 

[Ehres]

Yeah, I see what you mean. Although, the inside of Vanitas' eyelash seems thicker, while Sora's is thicker on the outside. And I don't exactly see a dark circle.

True on the first bit. I think it was all those adorable close-ups of his face that gave me that impression. As for the dark circle, it's not literally a dark circle, but if you look closely, I think there's a strain line.

Also, while we're on the topic of Vanitas' identity, let's use some logic.

- Not a female.
- Not an FF character.
- Probably not a Disney character.
- Most likely an original character.

Or it's his hair?

I don't know, but if that's his eyebrow, it seems far too long for his eye for it to be proportional. I doubt Nomura would make a character that unattractive.

He would have to have a side-swept fringe or a bowl cut. XD If you look closely, I think you can see some skin above the "eyebrow" which would make it his eyebrow.

Eh, you never know. His eyebrows could be knitted together in the middle for a confused expression. Eyebrows tend to rise up in the inner corners and elongate when they do that.

As for the dark circle, it's not literally a dark circle, but if you look closely, I think there's a strain line.

Oh, yeah, I see that now.

Also, while we're on the topic of Vanitas' identity, let's use some logic.

- Not a female.
- Not an FF character.
- Probably not a Disney character.
- Most likely an original character.

Well, I already figured that, but it's best to have guidelines for these sorts of things.

If you look closely, I think you can see some skin above the "eyebrow" which would make it his eyebrow.

True, but there's also a bit of a shine on his "eyebrow". You can see a bit of white near the top.

 

[Ehres]

Maybe I should make a "Who is Vanitas" discussion thread, that we can all work together in to try and work out who he is. Like one last big push before the game's release. Anybody know if there's already a thread on the same topic?

 

[SilentTrinity]

so Vanitas is an original character
that i can understand
does anyone think that maybe he is still alive?
Or maybe that he dies in BBS?

Vanitas's eye looks an awful lot like artwork.

The color of the *top thing* is a tad greyer than his eyelashes... but I really have no idea.

 

[maggosh]

Anybody know if there's already a thread on the same topic?

Well, I'm quite sure a multitude of threads have been made for that, but not a big one, as I recall.
