No way. If anything, it is finally moving in a direction that is bad ass.
Kingdom Hearts 1 is one of the worst games I've ever played. The only reason I played it is because my best friend wanted me too. I hated literally everything about it. The platforming was terrible. The battle system was boring. Sora sucked. Riku sucked. Kairi sucked. I DID like the finale and Ansem was pretty neat because he was like like "DAAARKNESS" But otherwise, extremely piss poor game.
Then. my friend made me play Kingdom Hearts 2, which I really didn't want to do. Immediately i found it pretty damn good. The intro with Roxas was infinitely more interesting than anything that happened in PoS KH1. Then you had Christopher Lee voicing a guy that looked pretty cool doing some crazy stuff. Sora had a personality upgrade. MICKEY WAS A GOD DAMN NINJA. The Organization 13 stuff was pretty neat. Plus at the end Riku joins your party and he's a bad ass now.
I'll admit 358 is a joke game, but Birth By Sleep was like the Season 5 finale of Lost where you finally get the reveal of who the main villian of the series truly is. Its finale setting up a pretty epic conclusion (with the help of the finale of Re:Coded that really drove home the idea that Master Xehanort REALLY needs to be stopped)
