    Amidst all the exciting Dream Drop Distance news, we get this gem from IGN:
    You can read the full article by clicking here.

    IGN brings up some valid points in their article, citing how the story has become over complicated, the Disney worlds can get dull, and being scattered all over the console & handheld market has not helped the series at all. Still, I think they're a bit critical, personally--the Disney worlds are also a nice throwback to many of our childhoods, and the story can make sense if you pay attention. But what do you guys think? Has the Kingdom Hearts series been waning over the years, or is it continuing as strong as ever?

    Let us know your thoughts!

    Thanks to forum member exile0025 for bringing up the article.

      And yet they gave us that number "13", they could easly be 7 dark hearts to balance the 7 light hearts (princess). Or 1 X 1 for that matter as Ventus & Vanita worked, the only problem was the double kill, but the "X-blade" was made, and it remains as Kingdom Key, and Kindgom Key D.
      So they created themselves the problem.

      The thing about KH is that started really simple in KH 1 like a plot(Like, maybe someone will buy the game.. maybe not), when the "real Kh story" started at CoM~KH II.. even if elements of the "real Kh story" (and not simply re-tell disney's story) were already at KH 1, they were abstract ideas at most.

      When KH 2 was out, all KH story was out as well, and looked badass, but they've lost themselves, and a little of our interest for the sake of making a lot of spin-off handled games..

      So KH isn't bad per se is only that it's story doesn't work outside the video game, in the video game poorly explained events could lead to more awesome gameplay, and thus more games, more games=more fun for more time...
      So the story gets a little streched to a point that if it was a book or movie it would suck, but as it is a game you really just want a excuse to play more, so you will buy it no matter what.
