linear story line

[Vic Viper]

I don't believe any of them are side stories. Here's how I think of it.

BBS sets the stage for KH. Towards the end of KH, when Sora stabs himself, not only does that sound the groundwork for KHII,but it also establishes plot developments for CoM and Days. With that in mind, the climax of KH leads directly into Days(although that's underground because the story mainly focuses on Sora from KH on). On the surface, the end of KH leads right into CoM. After CoM, the actual gameplay of Days should take place because the next 358 days is the setting for Days, so it rises up and become the surface game (since Sora is unable to due to his sleep). With a day to separate them (the first day Roxas is in data Twilight town, since we only get to play the last 6 days), that brings us right to KH II, which needless-to-say eventually brings us to Coded after the events of KHII have taken place and peace is with the worlds once more.

So, overall, with the exception of Days' slightly bizarre placement, I'd say they're all very linear to me.

I think it's like side stories but probably relevant to the KH universe but I wonder if it's also something for the fans until KH3 comes out and all. Otherwise, not too sure.

Agreed, though there isn't much to do when you have a side quest that's boring.

Well they'll just have to be interesting, then.

I hated those things, they had me stay in monstro for like 5 hours trying to open all the chests and not miss them
