I'm sorry, but I strongly disagree with you,
@ShinyGirafarig &
@Award .
Playing kingdom hearts in the correct timeline, (slightly confusing, but satisfying) really clears up the storyline.
DDD makes complete sense to me, and the lack of final fantasy characters was understandable. I think that there saving the FF characters for numbered KH games. +, have you even played KH re/chain of memories? It features the FF characters in a way that really contributes to the story!! Also, the original characters are the best part of the games!!!!!
Again on the topic of FF characters, sephiroth has been featured in both KH 1 & KH 2, and Zack is even featured in KH BBS!
Want even more? BBS's Disney worlds actually progress the story and plot of the whole series, not just KH 1!
KH 2 really did fit into the story, you just have to play the other games first.
And Finally, I give you an explanation on why Tron made sense.
His world was the coding that ran the heartless creator in hollow bastion. The main villain, (the MCP) was gonna blow up the whole friggin world!!!! Plus, after completing the world, everyone remembers the towns true name. Which is actually a very important part of the story!!! Even more, Tron tells you some encrypted, but important, information on ansem & xehanort.
Thank you for reading my rant. Now go play the games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spoiler warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
