Does anyone else feel SE stretched the KH series too far?

    I think the problem is that we feel abandoned.. "Did assassin's creed stretched too much?" I think Yes, but then again there is like 2 AC's games a year, so even if one fell short, the next can save the franchise, but for KH since 2006 there was only one important game : Birth By Sleep. Planned and all... I still didn't play 3D, but for what I've read it seems to me that the main foccus of it is to explain the spin offs, so is just like a spin off to explain spin offs, and it is necessary because they have gone out of their way(don't like time travel deus ex machina also)...

    I guess if the games were closer to each other, and most of all the important games! If BBS was out 2007/8 and Days also we would say "Okay days wasn't so great, but at least we have more KH!"..

    I felt as Nomura has something that he wants to tell with KH 3 , but is like he doesn't have the approval for the game , maybe he doesn't know how the game will work, so he needs the side games to experiment with gameplay, maybe he just thinks the game is too important that he will need years to have it ready so he give us this side games just to mantain the fanbase waiting.. I don't know.. but I could see a better path for KH without so many deviations.
    About the number of consoles, if you wait a few more years you will only need Ps4 to play all games (as 1.5 and 2.5 will be on Ps3, and Ps4 can gaikai them) . You only have to play twelve years after everybody else...

    The only game I would say doesn't need to exist and genuinely feels like it could have been condensed into a single video is Coded. Every other game feels necessary and deserving of the title in some way. I may not like how the games turned out (BBS) and they may not have done at all what needed to be done (Days) but they all contribute and feel necessary on some level.

    Really I like each of the games have shown an important side of the story or just advanced the story in one way or another. Coded was possibly the only one I would say wasn't completely necessary, but at the same time I rather enjoyed playing as Data Sora so I'm going to give my full support to continuing the KH series and hope that SE stretches it out even further!

    That's mainly where our opinions differ. I saw DDD as a way of bringing an end to Riku's angst angst angst subplot once and for all. He was, after all, the main primary protagonist of DDD. It doesn't really explain much in the spin-offs, especially Days and Coded, the former of which is still mostly self-contained and the latter of which served to set up DDD.
