I made a thread about why Xehanort split himself into heartless and nobody because I never really got what that would accomplish. I know that he needed the 13 nobodies to clone himself, but I don't think he would need to split himself to get 13 nobodies.
Anyway, after reading replies in there and just thinking about this more and more... I am now even more confused (and possibly theorizing something in a future game). If Apprentice Xehanort was truly suffering with "amnesia" and decided to split himself into heartless and nobody in hopes of regaining his memories; then it seems that was all initiated because of Girl X. If Xehanort was running (at that time) off of motivations related to Girl X, then would it be safe to assume that KH1 and KH2 were actually Ansem/Xemnas working to find out more about Girl X rather than Master Xehanort's grand scheme?
Ansem created the keyblade that unlocks hearts (with the 7 princesses of heart) and wanted to open the Door To Darkness (what he thought was Kingdom Hearts). Ansem also threw Kairi into space as an experiment. Maybe the choice of Kairi, the Keyblade of People's Hearts, and the Door To Darkness are linked somehow? Maybe he was trying to find a way to extract memories, so that when he finds Girl X he could pull the information out of her? Maybe he threw Kairi into space because he suspected that she was linked to Girl X and/or would lead him to her? Is there any information that really speaks to whether Ansem had regained his memories or if he was running of off Apprentice Xehanort's memories or was he just doing his own thing separate from Xemnas?
Speaking of Xemnas, his plan to recreate Kingdom Hearts to "regain his heart"... was that a Master Xehanort thing or was it an amnesiac Xemnas/Apprentice Xehanort trying to regain his memories? We know now that the Kingdom Hearts that Xemnas created was synthetic, but would that have been useful to Master Xehanort? He clearly didn't need that fake Kingdom Hearts to transfer himself into other bodies, so what was the point of summoning it? It wouldn't have even brought about the X-Blade (not that Xemnas seemed to even know about it).
So yeah... I'm kinda confused at whether Ansem (in KH1) and Xemnas (in KH2) were actually following Master Xehanort's plans or just doing their own thing while having no memory of before Radiant Garden. And if they were doing their own things, then the time travel 7 vs. 13 thing was only devised after Master Xehanort was recompleted? Or did Master Xehanort know Ansem and Xemnas would fail and just let it happen knowing that he would return?
