Series Structure

[IAMSORA]

Despite it not always seeming like it, there actually is a pattern to the games released. I was looking at it, and there seems to be a missing spot for a future game.

MAIN side side MAIN side side MAIN side side MAIN

BBS bbsvol2 ???????? KH1 com days KH2 coded 3d KH3

i doubt there would be a bbs volume 3. but what else could be covered that takes place in that time period? Perhaps bbsvol2 would be about aqua, and the next one about the king? riku? xehanort? i really don't know. but i imagine a game will be made to fill that spot.

Or it would more likely be that the structure will turn out to be;

Handheld - Handheld - Console - Handheld - Handheld - Console - Handheld - Handheld - Console

BBS ------- BBSv2 ----- KH1 ------ CoM ------ Days ------- KH2 ----- CODED ---- DDD ------- KH3

That's more so what it's aiming at I believe at least.


If you're going by when they were released and not story wise, then you're missing Re:CoM, Re:CODED, the final mixes.....

Them being released goes like this----

KH1 -- KH1:FM -- CoM --- KH2 -- KH2:FM+ ------------- Re:CoM --- Days - CODED - BBS -- BBS:FM -- Re:CODED - DDD

Main - Main:FM - Bridge - Main - Main:FM+Re:Bridge - Re:Bridge - Side - Side ---- Main - Main:FM - Re:Side - Bridge

Console - Console - Handheld - Console - Console - Console - Handheld - Handheld (Phone) - Handheld - Handheld - Handheld - Handheld


EDIT::::

And going by main and side games you are also missing bridge games.

Which would be

Main - Side/Bridge - Main - Bridge - Side - Main - Side - Bridge - Main

BBS -- BBSv2 -------- KH1 -- CoM --- Days - KH2 -- CODED - DDD - KH3

Lets hope BBSv2 will be the last announced KH title before the start KH III development.

3D is a main game. That's the flaw in your plan.

You don't have much to back up this pattern.
First, we don't even know if BBS V2 is a game or not, or if it is a part of KH 3D.
Second, you added an unknown game in between BBS V2 and KH1 just to make your pattern work?
And third, KH 3D is a main game. So that makes it:

Main Main Bridge Side Main Side Main Main.

Handheld - Handheld - Console - Handheld - Handheld - Console - Handheld - Handheld - Console

BBS ------- BBSv2 ----- KH1 ------ CoM ------ Days ------- KH2 ----- CODED ---- DDD ------- KH3

Much better pattern.

[King Chaser]

Handheld - Handheld - Console - Handheld - Handheld - Console - Handheld - Handheld - Console

BBS ------- BBSv2 ----- KH1 ------ CoM ------ Days ------- KH2 ----- CODED ---- DDD ------- KH3

Which we don't know yet. It could be a mini-TV series for all we know.

Well I said it may be this, if they decide to continue in the somewhat pattern that has been created.


And has it been stated that DDD is a Main Game? I know it's very essential to the story, since it leads into the beginning of KH3, but technically wouldn't it be classified as a Bridge Game?

I must have missed that then. Thank you for the clarification.

The story is on par with it's numbered titles is what Nomura said. And frankly I don't see how this game could be anything but a main game.

[Master Spockanort]

It is a main game that bridges the last four games into KH3. How about that?

[axel95]

DDD is pretty much the game we've been waiting for since beating KH2, besides KH3 of course.

[IAMSORA]

I dont think 3D should be considered a main game. Nomura said the story was on par with a numbered title. However, he specifically said that KH1 should be thought of as "chapter 1" KH2 as "chapter 2" and BBS as "chapter 0". going with this, it is pretty obvious KH3 is chapter three, not 3D. 3D may be more crucial to the story than something like Days, but it since KH3 is not chapter 4, 3D is a side/bridge game. an important one, but not in the category as BBS, 1, 2, and 3

Lol, ever heard of preludes and interludes?

Chapter 0: BBS
Chapter 1: KH1
Interlude of KH1 and Prelude of KH2: Days and CoM
Chapter 2: KH2
Interlude of KH2: Re:coded
Prelude of KH3/Chapter 3.1: DDD
Chapter 3.2: KH3

That's a really good way to put it actually, I fully agree with that one.

Now it remains to be speculated if the "mystery game" Nomura talked about so much will be the interlude between Chapter 0 and 1, or if it will be, according to the rumors it'll clear up all loose ends between BBS and DDD, the big interlude between chapter 0 and chapter 3.1.
