so they should always be two seperate beings

I dont think they said they were people, just that they grew hearts

which albeit makes them people in all but name alone

however it means they get to keep all those cool nobody powers

That's another thing

Them growing hearts means that they become their own person

but then dying and coming back means they are still their own person

If that were the case why would they still have their old memories and appearance?  They are the same as their original selves, minus a heart

thats what a nobody is, its a mind and a body

but look at what regular nobodies look like

dusks, creepers, assasins

they look different because they are different

Well yes and no

organization members are still nobodies that managed to keep a closer resemblence to what they originally looked like

The organization was built of Nobodies with stronger minds and retained their form

No, I think that was a lie

Or a truth they didn't know

the ones that had exceptionally strong hearts can keep their bodies

Think about how they were all created

They were stabbed with a keyblade

So was Sora when Namine and Roxas were created

Just like the Heartless. Weaker hearts and weaker minds tend to separate and form the weaker ones

Their old hearts still need to be released from their heartless form by a keyblade for them to return as somebodies.  I like to think their old hearts just merge with their grown hearts so they have the combined experiences of both forms. 

Roxas is definitely a special case because Sora retained his sense of self when Roxas was created

Marly, Larxene, Luxord and Demyx have keyblade legacy to them

All of them have a keyblade based around them

That's how they retained a human form

That's also true

They were stabbed with a keyblade

thats the new canon

i was more referring to the old canon

as reference

So maybe that's the case. If we're being fair, Sora didn't form much more than a Shadow as a Heartless

But that's because Sora didn't have much darkness in him

Stronger the darkness, the stronger the heartless

i always took that as sora just being that nice

That's the point though.

I like this lore deal of the Keyblade stabbing causing them to retain physical bodies and not the hollow shells that are the weaker Nobodies

Because any of them could have had a similar Heartless situation.

maybe, but the original idea was that a person with a significantly strong heart could keep their physical form as a nobody

Though we do have exceptions since Sora had more than one Heart in him at the time he released his own.

also we dont know how luxord became a nobody yet

or demyx

Him and Demyx has a keyblade legacy to them

So they most likely got stabbed too

I hope Demyx is from VR

I feel like it would fit him
