Birth by Sleep Isn't it weird

That in KH1 and CoM there were only heartless, and only in KH2 nobodies appeared. Didn't nobodies exist in KH1? Or was Sora so lucky that didn't encounter not even one? (Except for org. XIII nobodies, I'm talking about dusks and normal nobodies.)

 

Well the nobodies were after Roxas remember and he was still IN the organization during KH1 and COM

 

I thought of this while playing KH2 yesterday, actually. I think maybe it's because Nomura didn't have the idea for Nobodies in KH1, and decided not to introduce a totally new type of enemy in a Gameboy game.

 

KH1 - The idea was not yet there.

Com- The castle was made up of Sora's memories, and he had yet to face one.

 

Well, it's also one of those things in which if Numora didn't think of a new enemy, it would start to seem that the game would start to get boring. Of course it wouldn't be so bad. If Ansem was a Heartless, then I guess something like Organization XIII could've existed, except not XIII... I dont know where I'm going with this.

 

Well, I'm pretty sure Nomura didn't have any plans about nobodies in KH1, and Sora was only facing his memories in CoM, therefore, no nobodies would appear.

 

Well, he had to have if he had Xemnas in FM

 

Probably he had no plans for nobodies that point of time. Meh.

 

ll ,it's possible he hadn't decided what Xemnas was at that time

 

Yes, but that was after CoM came out.

 

This^

and KH2 did have Heartless.

I think Sora was just lucky enough not to encounter any Nobodies because Nomura probably hadn't fleshed them out completely yet. He encountered Marluxia's angel Nobodies and the Org members but he didn't know they were Nobodies.
I'm pretty sure Axel or someone actually said, "We're nobodies," but it was meant to be taken as "We're not anybody" in order to full players

 

it's obvious that Nomura hadn't fleshed out the Nobody idea yet but in a more in-universe explanation I think that Xemnas and the other 11 members were simply just biding their time and watching. think about it: the Heartless are rampaging unchecked and finally a new Keyblade Master has shown up. that's exactly what the Organization wanted. their was no need for any Nobodies to mess around with the worlds. then Sora became a Heartless creating Roxas and then things got interesting for Xemnas (in other words creating Xion).then the Castle Oblivion Incedent happaned uctting the Organization's numbers in half and putting Sora to sleep. with Xion gone and Roxas betraying him Xemnas had a problem. and so that's why the Nobodies cause havoc in KH2

long story short. Nobodies weren't in KH1 or CoM because there was no need for them to cause trouble in the open.
