You can like its naming conventions all you want but anyone honestly trying to argue how the Kingdom Hearts series isn't a confusing mess is being disingenuous.
And it's not jus about three compilations with three numbers with decimal numbers. As a casual KH fan i constantly see shit like KH 0.2, and KH 358/2, KH Re:CoM or KH Unchained X. Add to that how they've dragged out the story for 15 goddamn years, which in it on itself has its own massive problems when trying to make sense of it, and you have a very very confused audience.
I'm a diehard gamer who GAFs daily and has played KH1, and 2 on PS2 and I don't know what the fuck's going on anymore. What are the chances that other less invested would-be fans who dont dwell on gaming forums everyday will buy these compilations or KH3?
Theres a lot to love about KH. Maybe even its titles. But let's be real and drop the pretenses. Do not defend this series saying they're not confusing or say they're easy to follow. As true as water is wet it is not.
I rest my case.
If you are interested on the franchise or the story, or the games at all, you can spend 5 minutes on the internet finding about the spin-offs and the order they were released.
It's not like the original title is gone, or do you get confused with The Legend of Zelda games too? those are a lot, and always a different subtitle, and yet no one shits on it.
Oh no wait, Nomura here used numbers! oh no! (even easier, follow the sequence)
And also, 358 over 2 days is explained on the game, and what is it about it's clear as day. It's not rocket science or quantum physics.
