whats going on with braig?

[IAMSORA]

so in the older trailer, braig looks like braig. but in the new trailer, braig looks like xigbar. any thoughts?

 

[Sign]

The Braig seen in the Jump Festa trailer was from a flashback before he became Xigbar.

 

[IAMSORA]

oh. so that was during the experiments? so the experiments were to try to get xehanorts memories back? and then he attacked braig?

Idk if I'm correct, but is the scene with Axel, or Lea, seemingly waking up in Ansem's computer room, which could be his time of revival. Axel looks exactly like he did as a Nobody, so Braig would too.

Well, minor difference is that Axel's marks on his cheeks are missing.

I do think it's because the other scene is a flashback.

Who knows what Braig wants in this game.

In BBS, he agreed to help MX for a "favor" and I do believe that has something to do with Braig wanting a keyblade.

So in this game, he is for sure on the "bad" side, but what his intentions are is probably to help xehanort suceed in wtf ever he is planning. (x-blade, covering worlds in darkness, becomming God, making new x-blade war)

Yep, in this trailer, Lea even checks his cheeks and then realizes he's human again.
In the very scene before Lea awakens he has that short conversation with Roxas...there he's still Axel, with the tattoos.

Maybe Braig has also some slight differences to help distinguish him from Xigbar.

This braing is in the realm of sleep we still dont know what he will look like in the realm of light

I like to think the differences between Braig and Xigbar are because of MX's/Xemnas' influences.

The golden eyes and silver streaks in his hair definitely are, but I think we were speculating about a subtle difference between Xigbar and current Braig in order to distinguish them like with Axel and Lea and their tear-tattoos.

Pointy ears, too.

The problem with that is the possibility of Xigbar having his appearance altered as a Nobody.
