If Dark Road only happened because Nomura was hopping on the trend of explaining villain motives we wouldn't have gotten something as bizarre and unnecessary as Xehanort bald lore that shit is born from passion

Kingdom Hearts is a well written piece of art. The idea that Kingdom Hearts is riddled with plot holes and retcons is perpetuated by a casual audience and a cynical fast-paced culture. An audience that doesn't have the time or patience to play though all of the games and fully process the connections being made.
This level of understanding, created though half-listening and misremembering, is parroted to groups that want to tear it down for entertainment. People who've decided, without seeing for themselves, that the story is dumb and overly convoluted. That a "children's game" with 20 years of continuous narrative is bad because they can't understand it with a loose, poorly told summary.
The narrative surrounding Kingdom Hearts is poisoning the narrative contained within it. There is a bias of bad faith shared by millions of people. The story being told is that Kingdom Hearts is a bad story. That Tetusya Nomura is a bad storyteller. This effects how people respond to his style of writing.
Nomura will give the player a question, and the question won't be answered for a long time. (15 years sometimes) The player will then assume there ISN'T an answer. That if the story conflicts with what they know, that the AUTHOR is wrong and NOT the narrator. They don't ask how. They don't ask why. They just say "WRONG".
Kingdom Hearts isn't perfect, but in my experience, every twist is foreshadowed. Every plot point is precendented by prior events, parallels, and well placed symbolism. There is a purpose for what is said and what is done. There is an overarching plan for the story, and it's been around since day one. The answers will come, but they take time.
There is reason not to engage. This story is as old as I am, and unfortunately there have been and will continue to be people who die before they see it end. But there isn't much longer to go. The Lost Master Arc has its pieces in place and they'll be all put together soon. I predict the story will end with Kingdom Hearts V before 2035. Five Acts. Like a Shakespeare play.
But, before that, and I'm calling it now, we'll get Missing-Link, KH4, Re:Union χ [Cross], a cutscene compilation of Dark Road, Verum Rex, maybe a movie?, another side game, and a book.
The series is a time commitment. There is a TON to remember. But it IS made with care, and if you decide to play it and pay attention to it, the story can be very rewarding.

I would like to add that even when things seem confusing within the story, the characters always make a point to explain what’s happening, or what is going on, etc.
An example of this is in kh3, where there is an ENTIRE cutscene dedicated to Riku and Mickey, literally explaining and summarizing every version of Xehanort.
Truly, just pay attention.
Pay attention, and if you didn’t get it, watch the cutscene again, I promise you the answers are right there.
Look at themmm going on a silly little date together how cuute(* ￣3)(ε￣ *)
Little sneak pic of the Xehaqus drawing I’m doing rn, with a little fun fact:
- Going from the top, the first bracelet that Xehanort has, has the colors that I associate with his classmates (in order, starting from orange, is: Bragi, Urd, Vor, and Hermod), they’re more in the background because in canon they’re people Xehanort considered more like classmates instead of actual friends.
- The second bracelet has the colors of the friend group in union x (in order, also starting from orange: Strelitzia, Lauriam, Ventus, Ephemer/Elrena, Skuld, and Brain), this bracelet is on top of the one of his classmates, because Xehanort puts the meeting of people that don’t even know him on top of his current friendships.
- Last one is a bracelet entirely based on Eraqus, I separated him from the rest of his classmates because he’s the only one who lived through the events of Dark Road and therefore the one who stayed with Xehanort :3
Anyway, too much lore for simple little silly braceletsLMAOOO, ALSO, I know Ephemer and Elrena don’t have separate beads, but it’s because I associate light blue with both（；´д｀）ゞ

im not very good at making confessions, but since everyones so negative lately ill give it a shot.
kh is pretty darn fun. i like the series, even the games people think are "bad" (re:coded, ddd, and kh3, for example)

Umm so as it turns out, after entering dark road to actually look at his design, because I had to figure out if his accents were gold or silver… I found out I’ve been drawing his coat (and by extension, Xehanort’s) wrongLMAO, also his belt but whatever
When I was studying them, I only studied their faces, not their outfits, so my bad ig, he still looks cute so a win is a win
