damn is the story ever convoluted.
Whenever anyone says this they're admitting either that they're stupid or that they don't care enough to follow the story. It's really a laughably simple story as long as you pay attention, and if you want to go the extra mile, you can learn some extra details only revealed outside of the games in interviews and such. But all relevant material is in the games themselves, there's no excuse for calling it "convoluted" unless you weren't bothering to pay attention.
No and honestly, that "you're not paying attention" excuse is too damn old.
The story is badly written, full of retcons and what not. It also forces you to read interviews (aka outside material) in order to grasp what the hell is going on at some important points of the games. Many details left unexplained so Nomura can go back and write them in detail whenever he feels like it (evasive writing. The series are full of it) and constant sacrifice of the the plot in favour of the "rule of cool" which is, basically, what many other shonen mangas live from: villain had a plan D all this time and travels in time to bring back every other villain ever defeated; some character very liked by the fanbase gets a keyblade (fanservice!), a mastermind that predicts everything years ahead and then confuses 2 people with 20...
Plot being stretched beyond the necessary, only to have everything to fall in the shoulders of KH3 and a promise that everything will be explained when we all know perfectly that it won't.
Also, KH has to be the first story I know to have 2 methods of timetravel one that allows the past to be changed and affects the present (like how it was in FFXIII-2) and another that prevents the past of being changed one bit. Does this coexistence even make sense?

One thing that the FF fanbase has over KH's is that at least they are the first ones to admit when their game's writting sucks.
