I'm a hobby gamer, so I typically pick up all the systems and handhelds with a few exceptions, so it wasn't a big deal to me, that's my money sink, but to others that's a huge investment for a single series.

It would have encouraged more people to pick up the series as it released because they wouldn't have to buy five different consoles over the years to keep up.

CoM could have stayed on GBA, because they ported it to PS2 and released it with KH2 Final Mix anyway, but they should have stuck to the pattern and done 358/2, BBS and Re:Coded on PS2/PS3 as well, along with DDD being a console release. Honestly, they'd have been better off building the other games as PS2 titles.

We got two games on PS2, one on GBA, 2 on DS, one on PSP and one on 3DS, plus a bunch of ports to PS3 and PS4. Their major downfall was jumping from console to console and across brands.

If they'd given 2 a subtitle instead of a number then people who came late would be confused about which to play first between it and CoM and probably went for the third game because it was a full PS2 game, and thus missed a huge chunk of plot from CoM, and it would only get more complex as the series went on. I mean, you're not wrong, but the series would have suffered from this either way honestly. If you've played them all and still don't understand what's going on then you weren't actually paying attention. It's complicated and convoluted, but it makes sense within the context of it's setting. If they'd gone with just subtitle names then it's far more likely that people wouldn't have skipped out on BBS or other titles because they were "spin-offs".Įither way, if you've played all the games and actually paid attention to what's going on then everything makes perfect sense, if only in a bizarre anime kinda way, but that's exactly the sort of sense you expect a game like Kingdom Hearts to make. I believe Nomura even went on record saying that the numbered titles simply indicated the "biggest" games that were going to drive the plot forward further than the others did. The only thing that set KH2 apart was the fact that it was on a home console and had a bit more length to it.
KH2 was simply the third game in the series, and while the others that followed may have been notably smaller/shorter, they had just as much narrative clout. The problem is, they did number it, making it look like there is a "main series" when there isn't. If KH2 had been Kingdom Hearts: Pieces of Two or some other suitably ridiculous name then the rest of the series wouldn't look like spin-off titles. They should have just gone with subtitles for all the games. I think the problem is that Squeenix decided to number the second one.
We got backstory on pretty much everything in the series along with elaboration, a glimpse at the background and true motivations of the series main antagonist and a culmination and focusing of all the various games plots into a single, coherent direction pointing towards KH3.
Between BBS, 358/2 and DDD, the metaplot was developed beyond what existed in KH1 and 2 combined. Honestly, most of the plot development of Kingdom Hearts happened after KH2. If you skipped 5 out of 7 games then yeah, you're not gonna know what the fuck is going on. If you play all the games and pay some fucking attention instead of skipping cutscenes or some shit then you'll understand everything going on just fine.
