Imo the series began declining after DDD. Thats when it became obvious that SE is just another money grabbing company. I was pissed off when i saw the trailers for that game back in 2011 when i was still in HS. The entire game was an excuse to reuse assets from previous games, it was the 4th game to reuse KH1 Sora, and was a cheap shot so that SE could have a title on 3DS. And the story was dragged on and came to a complete stallmate, not that they cared ofc cuz it was written subsequently, the priority was to make a "new" title.
This game was 100% uncessary, it did nothing besides introducing flowmotion and making the story 100% nonsensial. The KH story was complicated up until DDD but it made sense, there was were rules, there was cohesion. But DDD threw all this away, introduced an uneeded time travel which makes 0 sense and it repurposed Org 13. And the fanbase will pull mental gymnastics such as "well, in KH2 they never said that nobodies CANT regrow hearts" in order to defend the 180 shift in writting. I also have asked many people about time travelling and their responses make 0 sense they literally have settled for some time loop s*** with no beggining which had no reason to be there at all. Again, its all marketing, they didnt know what to do with the story so they pulled the old time travel trope but in the worst iteration made. Even Nomura knows its BS, notice how in his interviews most his replies are maybes and perhaps its cause he might recite everything in the future lol.
The game was just laziness, an excuse from SE to not make KH3 for the PS3, though i have heard people say that SE didnt have good relationships with PS3 but that stil doesnt make DDD a moneygrabbing mess of a game. And it was followed by money grabbing collections and the worst offender, 0.2 AFP which is accepted as a demo for KH3 yet its nothin like KH3 at all. Different protagonist, different setting, different atmosphere, some Soulsborne inspiration perhaps. Its a demo of a game that was never made lol and it was made in such way to milk the fanbase. Cause if it was an actual KH3 demo people wouldnt buy it they could just wait for the full game. But SE made it to look different, stiched it together with some other s*** and sold it as a collection.
KH3 was an incomplete game, you could say the same for KH2 as well but you would have expected SE to have changed this habit after 13 years. Nope, now its DLC time, the problem is that other games with DLCs like Dark Souls were already fulfilling games on their own, DLC was just extra content. In KH3's case DLC is an integral part of the game , the orgiginal was incomplete and despite 7 years of development it was still somehow rushed. People have been arguing that BBS was the downfall but it wasnt cause that game was hinted throuout KH2, it was ambitious, it setted lots of the series' lore and fitted, though not perfectly, with the other games. 3D lacked the same ambition, it recyced assets AGAIN, added possibly the worst story in a video game and some unexaplained hax from Sora and Riku. Up until BBS characters, had powers that made sense, they were tehnciques, but from DDD and on, Sora and Riku have some reality warping s*** and the power of waking in 3 which make 0 sense and are just a**pulls for them to win against overpowered villains.
