Why was Xehanort's Heartless human?

[Tervenaq]

Human..for lack of a better word. Some say it was because he willingly went to darkness. But if that is true, Sora's Heartless shouldnt have been a shadow, and the first six members of the Organization would have powerful Heartless out there somewhere. Right?

[InfiniteTwilight]

I wouldn't really say that Xehanort's Heartless was human IMO.
He abandoned his body and turned to darkness giving him all sorts of crazy powers and what not.
He was strong enough to keep his human appearance, but darkness can do crazy things to a person/Heartless.

Sora's Heartless was a shadow because he had a small amount of Darkness in his heart. The littler the darkness, the smaller the Heartless I guess?

As for the six members, their Heartless aren't very powerful and their hearts probably weren't very strong either. They're just part of the same old small ones you fight everyday. Don't know which ones, but somewhere in there. Nomura stated they weren't any of the bosses in KH1 or 2 just in case.

i agree on the whole smaller the darkness the smaller the heartless thing.

[royaljminnis]

So does the statement (the closer you get to light the bigger your shadow will become) from KH1 hold any relevance?

cause i always thought the darkside heartless represented Sora's darkness?

[InfiniteTwilight]

^ I wouldn't say the statement holds a whole lot of relevance IMO.
Makes sense that the more light you get, your darkness will grow equal enough to match.
I sorta see that going on with Riku. The more Sora went to the light, the more Riku steeped into Darkness sorta making him the "shadow."

As for Darkside, I don't think it represented Sora's Darkness IMO since there were a few of those on Mickey's side of the door of Kingdom Hearts. Sorta thought it represented his "shadow/Riku" being equally as strong as him and possibly strong enough to overtake him.

That can't be quite right cuz I remember that in the beginning of kh2 they said that you need a strong heart and will

[Xerrat]

Seconded. You need a strong heart to even make a Nobody, let alone a human!Nobody.

[The Dark Destiny]

What if, Roxas was there all along. As though maybe some sort of alter ego? Maybe, Roxas was powerful inside of Sora because he got his power from Sora's heart. Well, when Sora became a heartless...Roxas was let out into the world without a heart to use for power, he was weak and needed something...or maybe no heart at all. So this would explain why he was in Organization XIII and (just MY little thought) why he wound up in such a small town and weak.

But you need a strong heart to have a human nobody. Plus Sora, and the original six willingly went to darkness. If anything, Sora should have a killer Heartless out there and the rest of the six.

I think

stronger heart= weaker heartless

Weak hear= strong heartless.

If that were true Xehanort's heartless and Nobody wouldnt have been as strong as they were.

Xehanort had a strong heart, which is why he had a powerful human nobody. But according to you, he would have to have a weak heart since his Heartless was so strong. So...no.
