adventures in Uncyclopedia

We're not game-players here; no time for it and less patience. Also lacking a PSP or a Wii, which makes gaming kind of difficult.

No, we're into watching cutscenes like an anime series. And our current quest is Understanding Kingdom Hearts. Seriously. There's been much MST3K-ing in our apartment these past few days, ever since loading up the original KH cutscenes and staring blankly at the computer till our eyes bled chowing down on all the junk food in our home while trying to figure out what the deuce was going on.

I've tried to read through the scripts of KH1 and KH2, and I keep hitting one thing that throws me into utter confusion. Before I lure my sweetie into a viewing of KH2, I sought out the answer so that I could lord it over my unsuspecting other half conveniently and casually toss it out at the opportune moment to earn myself a thank-you snog. And so, as anyone with a question and the permanent impression of an advertising campaign drilled into their head would do, I went to Ask.com - and asked The KH Question of Doom.

Dear Ask.com: in kingdom hearts, what is the difference between a heartless and a nobody?

The first link looked promising - also highly entertaining. And so, I went there, and now take you there with me to marvel at the heretofore unexpected answer: Heartless and Nobodies

Clears it all up, don't it? :3

I have a former classmate who has a Kingdom Hearts tattoo...I bet they could answer your question! That's fan dedication right there! Want me to inquire?

Whenever she talked about KH in my poetry class, I smiled and nodded. ^_^!
What I recall it's: a heartless is a person who has lost their heart and become dark, while a nobody is what becomes of the lost soul (heart)? So like in KH2 Roxas is the soul of Sora so he (Roxas) was never really real.

Is that any clearer?
If I'm remembering correctly, a heartless is the person without a heart. When someone has a very strong heart, a heartless is created, but also a nobody. That's why Sora, Kairi, etc, have nobodies, but the average heartless victim doesn't.

Nobodies are shadow people without emotion or a reason for existence. Org. 13 is the strongest of the Nobodies, and they've figured out how to control the weaker Nobodies to do their will.

I think the Ansem reports and some excerpts from Jiminy's journal explain things in more detail.

This is a little unrelated, but if you're still into Dirge of Cerberus, then I think this thread would interest you:
