An [[:File:Triple Artwork.png|early promotional artwork]] for ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and ''Kingdom Hearts coded'' depicted the main characters of each game in a tripartite mural. Roxas was included in the ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' section in which he looks several years older than his ''Kingdom Hearts II'' appearance. Nothing related to this was covered in the actual game, and as of yet no explanation has been given for this design variation.


In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', Roxas's face was changed to be slightly wider, with his cheekbones less defined and sullen, in order to make his design more closely resemble Ventus's.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qkr21oREfc Differences between ''Kingdom Hearts II'' and the ''Final Mix'' version]</ref>

Nobody else!" is nearly identical to Sora's later reactions when the Organization XIII members address him as Roxas. This is due the unique circumstances of Roxas' birth; due to [[Sora's Heartless]] retaining his memories and later regaining a human form without having to merge back together with Roxas, this allowed the Nobody to develop into his own person, rather than be a "copy" of Sora.

Roxas is less impulsive than Sora, but far more quick to anger. He is short-tempered, aggressive, blunt, and stands his ground against his foes. He can be arrogant, confident, and cocky as proven in his battles, more so when he engages Riku in a fight, proclaiming that he could not beat him no matter how many times he attempted to. When blinded with anger, he lets go of all reason and focuses on venting his anger, as seen when he continually hacks at DiZ's computers and viciously attacks DiZ's hologram. He expresses some dislike for being compared to Sora early on due to their relation, which DiZ notes with amusement in their encounter. This type of main contrast between the boys is even portrayed in official art, with Roxas almost always having a dark, sort of fierce expression, while Sora's is a bit more loose and mellow. However, Roxas is shown also to be less ruthless and more merciful to his enemies, as he spares a severely weakened Saïx and tries, albeit harshly, to convince Riku that fighting him is pointless.
