That's the only possible solution. That is, if you don't have 50 millions to fund the game.

If I wanted to know the story, I'd look it up. If I wanted to play the game, I'd buy it the old fashioned way. I just think it's ridiculous that I have to invest so much to understand how a direct sequel I already own connects to the first.

It's called spin offs. You don't have to play all of them to understand the story, but it's a PLUS. And yeah, you have to pay for the plus. And KH spinoff are funded with exclusivity. Wich gives us more games, even if on different platforms.

I didn't play COM before KH2, it didn't prevent me to understand 2. Why would it be different with 3 ? 

Without referencing anything from the spinoffs, can you explain how the characters got from where they were at the end of KH1 to the start of KH2? There is no sense of continuity between the two games becausea story was told in between to explain how the characters arrived where they did.

And I'm not asking them to bankroll multiplats of all these spinoffs. But if information from the spinoffs is necessary to understand the plot and characters, they need to put that information into the story proper. Even a throwaway line to explain why so many of the Organization people are gone, and what the deal is with Axel and Roxas, and what that letter at the end of the first game led to.
