The twist that Xehanort stole  Ansem's work and identity was/is servicable; something I wouldn't mind allowing to play out if only for the sake of not changing too much. After KHII (chronologically) though I'm meh about it because that's where everything really got convoluted.

Yeah, I don't see the need to change that either, especially since our KHIII, if we get to that point, will be different from the game's.

[@mattmanganon] That's why I suggested going within the theme and narrative already in place instead of adding more to make it even more convoluted. It'd just be shoving Garland into the story to force Am and Karre into it. So as of right now I'd have to deny their introduction into the story.
