This has something that has been bugging me.
We now know full well why Roxas looked nothing like Goofy despite being his nobody. Ventus's heart was in there too and that's what defined Roxas' appearance and also explains why Roxas' personality was so removed from Goofy's.
But, why does Vanitas look like Goofy? Goofy and Ven had never crossed paths at this point.
At first I questioned whether the disembodied voice that gave a part of its heart to Ven to keep him in the realm of light may have been Goofy (I currently believe it was the great heart, Kingdom Hearts), but that only happened AFTER Vanitas had been created.
My best guess at the moment that Nomura just did it on a whim, and as a favour to Goofy's voice actors, which would be reasonable. But is there anything else I'm missing here? Any better justification?
