People that call themselves KH "fans"...

[Varnish 319]

The only game that is close to being unimportant is Re: Coded. The rest are just as important as the numbered titles.

While I have tried my best to understand the story in the year that I have been interested in the series, I will not give myself the title of 'fan' until I have fully learned the story of the series. I have paid attention to all of the titles, but I still always have questions that need to be asked.

You are one of the most hardcore fans of KH by what you just stated. I give you gratz. 

[Raziel 248]

Fool. But none of that stuff really matters in terms of getting through the game.

It matters to understand the story as a whole, which is basically the entire point of the game...The entire point of the series at that.

 

So it kind of does.

I'll admit I have only played the numbered titles on the PS2 but I have watched the cutscenes of the handhelds. Though personally, those "fans" can say whatever they want because in the end they're the lost ones. Hehe

Dude I know the whole story frontwards, backwards and side to side. If you need anything cleared up, I'd be a good person to ask.

Precisely. They do not even have a right to say that they like the series if they do not pay attention to the handheld titles.

How many people are there who completely ignore the handheld titles, exactly?

WAY too many...I'd say a good 10-20% of the whole fanbase, it seems. I see people complaining about the "spinoffs" all the time as well. I even met someone IRL like that. We both knew eachother liked KH, and right before BBS came out, I was like, "dude, KHBBS is almost out. It looks awesome!" Him: "Oh I just can't wait til KH3." 

 

Me: ....

His wait was quite a long one. Welp, his wait for KH3 is still another 3 years ahead from now I tell ya what.

Fool. We're talking about Kingdom Hearts Fans in general. To some fans, the story isn't the most important thing. There  are many aspects of this game that make it good and many aspects about it that people like.

Let's be honest though,  with the hype kh 3 has, there's gonna be alot of people wo havent played kh before that starts playing the game. Nomura can atleast figure this, so tere will some sort of explanation to people tat dont know(flash backs, idk). If not, well, I'll love it, too bad for bandwagoners

[NO_HEART_XIII 312]

I own them all. "Spin offs" are just as important to the story. I love BBS, CoM, and 3D. Days is pretty good & Coded is fun, but they're all amazing. I hate when people say these games are not important just because they aren't numbered titles...sad, they're missing out.

i was one of those poor souls till i played birth by sleep and realized a bigger picture they just need to wake up lol

Yep, pretty much. And when you think about it, even Coded is a bit important because it sets the stage for the "sleeping memories" and adds a bit more to how Sora's heart is linked to all those characters... That moment when you notice that MasterXemnas only knows one insult...
