Its a good series, but its almost impossible to get the story straight at this point between the spin offs having critical info in them. I wont be getting 4 when it comes out due to this.

spin-offs should add to story, not be mandatory, especially when they are spread across consoles every which way.

The comeback to this will invariably be 'dude, there's synopsis videos included in the game if you want to catch up.' And that's fine, good on the devs for adding those, it's a genuinely smart and self-aware move. But there are some stories that simply can't be synopsized because they sound fucking stupid as hell unless you've invested enough time and money into them to have your mental faculties worn down to the point where it all suddenly makes sense (I personally call this the Scientology Effect). Like, I've read the bullet points of KH3's plot, and it sounds like a complete waste of time; if I'd actually played through the entire game and experienced its better moments firsthand, I'd almost assuredly have a more favorable opinion of it.

KH simply isn't worth the investment at this point, imo. They clearly chose to go full-throttle into their convoluted plotlines and original-characters-do-not-steal, which were at best a secondary motivation for me to play these Disney-meets-FF crossover games. The FF aspect has been all but completely jettisoned from the series, and I'm convinced that they'd ditch the Disney angle as well if they thought they could get away with it.
