It appears that the site considers Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] to be a remake of Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. This however is only partially true. Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]] takes place after Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] has already concluded and is post-Keyblade War. The reason it is a partial remake is because Player relives the events depicted in Kingdom Hearts χ[chi], but there are discrepancies. Quests 501-525 concerning the reckless Keyblade wielder did not take place in Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]. The true new content does not commence until Quest 571 however, and there is no depiction of the finale of Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] through-and-through, simply flashbacks of Player's collapse and the initial battle in the Badlands and the battle against Aced that preceded the initiation of the Keyblade War. This makes the timeline essentially Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] (with Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover taking place both before and concurrently) then Heart and Key followed by Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] and Dark Footsteps/Unchained 0[zero] - as Dark Footsteps has to follow the introduction of Enchanted Dominion in Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] but has yet to be addressed within the storyline. Thereby I don't know if you could really argue the inclusion of Kingdom Hearts Union χ in the timeline, but if anyone objects to my decision, please let me know.

While I like the idea of keeping a nice and tidy timeline of the series here, as it currently stands, it doesn't really do it justice primarily because you have events that do not run concurrently with the game they're placed in. For example, the meeting with Xehanort and the Master is right at the start of Re Mind, yet takes place which appears to be right after Dark Road. There's also the events of Limitcut, which takes place a whole year after KH3, but can't really be placed anywhere on here. And in-between all the games, we have the "Reconnect" secret endings and parentheses. SO! Rather than just a list of games in canonical chronological order, I strongly suggest we make the timeline a list of '''important events''' in the order they happen. Just very short, quick summaries no more than a sentence or two, with links to the respective games/endings they're from. It's slightly more work than what we currently have, but it's far more robust and generally meaningful. That way, we can even feature the timeline on the front page for newcomers! --[[User:Samoa Joe|Samoa Joe]] ([[User talk:Samoa Joe|talk]]) 05:37, 25 June 2020 (UTC) | |||
