I recently heard Kingdom Hearts's plot declared to be, and I quote: "simple."
HAHAHAHAHAHA
In that case, I issue a challenge. In three paragraphs or less, summarize the entire plot of the Kindgom Hearts franchise. And by summarizing the whole thing, I do intend for you to include:
-Each major character, who they are and why they're doing what they're dong. (Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Roxas, Namine, Xion, Organization XIII, Ansem the Wise, Xehanort, Terra, Aqua, Ventus, Eraqus, Vanitas, Princesses of Heart)
-Each important mechanic and why it's significant. (Hearts, Keyblades, Heartless, Light, Darkness, Nobodies, Worlds, Realms, Nobodies, Replicas, time travel)
-Each plot of every game and what they contribute to the overall story. (BBS, KH1, CoM, Days, KH2, coded, DDD.)
Oh, and one last important thing to consider that will truly make it a worthy summary:
-It must be understandable to an outsider.
In other words, don't underestimate the amount of franchise jargon you'd have to explain, and don't take for granted that an outsider will just accept that removing one's heart creates a shell that look at that! can also regrow its own heart.
You must do all that in three paragraphs or less. That's a generous amount. A truly simple game can be summed up in one paragraph or less, but hey, Kingdom Hearts is so damn easy and simple that this'll be a cakewalk for you guys. If the summary cannot sufficiently hit all four points, then it's declared incomplete/not understandable and will subsequently be used as proof that Kingdom Hearts is as straightforward as a roller coaster.

Good firetrucking luck.
