Kingdom Hearts is a different beast because of how the non numbered games stradle line. A spinoff is a new product based of an existing work. A spin off is self contained product that expands on existing elements (plotpoint, characters) while not altering the main series; meaning it should it have no direct consequences if skiped. Kingdom Hearts completely shits on that not just from a narrative perspective, a gameplay perspective as gameplay elements from these non numbered games make it back into mainline titles. So its not fair to call them spinoffs because how important they are to series from story and gameplay angle. I think interquels is a much more appropriate term.

But the idea that it took 13 years for the next main installment is a sentiment I agree with. I wil not count non numbered titles.
