So this has been bothering me for quite some time. In KH1 when Sora is in the little cave, the man with the brown robe comes and talks trash to him, we later find out that this was Xehanort ( or was it Ansem Seeker of Darkness?) time traveling in his "heart only" form as described in dream drop distance. We also see this character speaking to young Xehanort when he's explaining the whole thing. Anyways, it is later explained that you can only time travel to a location where a version of yourself already exists, and you cannot manipulate anything during that time you have traveled forward/back to. Later in DDD we find out Sora was "selected" to be one of the new vessels for Xehanort but it wasn't completed, also Master Xehanort explained he could not see what would happen beyond that point in time. SO after all that my question is, how was he there on the Destiny Islands in KH1 when neither Sora, or anyone else has a part of Xehanort in their heart? The only way I can think this can work is if either Ansem Seeker of Darkness or one of the already turned XIII members were just chillin in the background which would be kinda lame. The only other way I can think this happened is if Xemnas somehow found Ventus in Castle Oblivion and forced his heart onto his body and it affected the part of his heart in Sora's, but at the same time that also doesn't make sense since no one went there until Chain of Memories. Sorry for the long post but I hope you guys can understand my question. 

I think you a mean "Where Nothing Gathers". The Garden of Assembly is where the data org is.It's just his appearance, So jis physical ability may not be affected. and he wouldn't choose to make it that way. It seems to be a natural occurrence in the KH universe.

I don't know, I feel like that's just writing it off. There's got to be something more to this.

I'm not so sure about that. I mean the whole point of Xehanort possessing Terra was to make sure he was young and fit enough to live to see his plan come to fruition, as well as the added bonus of gaining more power along the way. Why would he just choose to make his body old and frail again when he could just as easily stay young and ahead of the game? Given the choice, I'm pretty sure he would have preferred his younger appearance, so it's likely that the form that he took was beyond his control. That or he knew that he would appear that way and kept it in consideration, but my point is that I'm pretty sure that his form is his original body prior to possessing Terra, but there is a chance that Terra and his body were restored simultaneously. I mean, the rules of Heartless/Nobody reformation never took into consideration the body of a person possessed by two hearts, maybe that means that both people are restored fully to their original states prior to being forced together. It's likely that Xehanort's original body disappeared to wherever Nobodies go when they are eliminated when he gave it up willingly, and his and Terra's hearts both perished when Ansem and Xemnas where eliminated, so in a way they were both given the correct conditions to be restored. Perhaps that means that they were restored separately rather than as Terra-Nort. However Terra could still be under Xehanort's control, even if he is separate, he could have always used the same trick he tried to use on Sora, just putting a piece of his heart inside his Darkness-ridden body. Either way we'll just have to see.

 

Nothing to say he really had a choice anyway, like you said, we never had anything like him happening before so we have nothing to go on, tons of things could've happened that we don't even dream about.

Already dealt with, I'm just bad with names

I don't know, I feel like that's just writing it off. There's got to be something more to this.

Ansem took over Rikus body and it changed to his form just before he dealt with Rikus heart, who endednup in the Realm of Darkness. Terra-xehanort seems to be a similar situation, and Xions body changes appearance almost randomly based on memories and the person perceiving her. That's all connected, and I don't have any in-umiverse reason to believe he is as physically incapable as he was in BBS anymore. All we've seen of him in DDD is him sitting in a chair exceedingly arrogantly.So , like you said, we'll just have to wait and see.
