Given how the main plot of the Kingdom Hearts series is heavily centered around the balance of light and darkness, this provides great foresight to Riku's role in the first game. Another user commented that they also noticed that Riku had his eyes closed, which possibly indicates how far removed he is from the light. One stated that though they never noticed that specific detail on the original PlayStation 2 case, they already had a hunch that Riku would turn evil in the first Kingdom Hearts game. Other Reddit users also commented on the thread with their own opinions about the cover art. This leaves Sora's other childhood friend Riku the only character not to have his face turned towards the light. They noted that the main protagonist Sora, his childhood friend Kairi, and adventure sidekicks Donald and Goofy were all turned to face toward the artwork's light source. On Reddit, user jewfrojay recently posted that they noticed something about the original Kingdom Hearts cover art for the PlayStation 2.
