Okay, so in BBS, Ienzo is about 11-12, but then in CoM (which takes place about 10 years later) he's 16-18 years old.

In BBS, Braig is about 18, and then in KH2 (11-12 years later) he's 40+ years old.

And then Even, Dilan, and Aeleus don't seem to age at all.

...

Is anyone else noticing a serious gap in logic here?

Maybe their age depends on exactly when they turned into a Nobody. I am pretty sure that they all just didn't turn into a Heartless and a Nobody at the same time, but the logic behind the ages is kind of odd, I agree.

I agree. It seems to me the only who really ages visibly is Ienzo/Zexion. Although perhaps the darkness (or nothingness) has something to do with this issue.

Wha-? Braig does not look 18. Anyways, Nomura said that the Braig-Xigbar appearance difference, (really just the hair since we know how he lost his eye and got the scar) was an optical illusion. I assume he means the same for Ienzo/Zexion, who has illusionary powers. Since Nobodies don't age, it could be that he's using his powers to make himself appear older/younger.

wow really you read somewhere that Zexions appearance is only an illusion and that he is only a kid in grown up form, I don't beleive it. Well did you know that Organization 13 was formed only recently before KH1 so the apprentices of Ansem became nobodies like 9 years later after Birth by Sleep, so if you compare someone who is 10 to someone who is 19 you can tell a big difference.

As for Xigbar, what Nomura really said was that even though Braig looks diffrent he still has the same personality as Xigbar.

And Xaldin and Lexaeus do look older than their somebodies.

There's nothing really mysterious about their ages at all. If you met Ienzo once and met him again 10 years later it certainly wouldn't suprise you that he has grown alot.

 

Edit: Reversal yes you are right but he wasn't talking about Ienzo, he was talking about Braig. And mabey Zexion got a new body while he turned into a nobody but not because of his Illusional powers cause he got that after he turned into a nobody. Also in Secret Report 6 it says when a person turns into a nobody they get small changes to their appearance so thats probably how he got older. And IF he did infact use the power of Illusion to make himself look older he would've been the first person in Kingdom Hearts history that someone created a body for themselves.

No, I didn't read it anywhere. I just assumed that because it was the only logical reason I could think of at the moment. The only other reason would be an experiment gone horribly wrong.

 

And also, you're wrong about that. Maleficent took over Radiant Garden 8 years before KH1, confirmed by Leon in KH1. BBS took place 10 years before KH1. That leaves that one year between those two events for the apprentices to lose their hearts to darkness.

 

And no, Nomura did say it was an optical illusion and that Nobodies don't age.
