Have you actually read the plot? The only vaguely relevant bits are the start and the end, the rest of it is just adding more crap that simply doesn't need to be there. As far as it leading on from KH2, none of it follows a logical progression from 2, it seems more like an unnecessary attempt to tie all the concepts from BBS into the main story, which I thought was the point of BBS really, whilst throwing in some more pointless lore so they can introduce a new enemy. Now if the Dream Eaters are actually as significant as nobodies and heartless then that could kind of slide, but it doesn't so far seem like they are (although it didn't become clear for the others until most of the way through 2 and 1 respectively and even then BBS made more sense of it).

Basically, it doesn't really seem to follow on properly in any logical pattern, the bits that are genuinely important didn't need an entire game to explain and the whole story really wreaks of a spin-off that the story was made for, not the other way around. In that sense only the last chunk of the game was really an inevitability for the series and the only reason I can think why they shouldn't have just put it at the start of KH3 is because you just don't start a story "Oh Gosh, HE was the bad guy the WHOLE time?!?!"

Also divulge diverge.

1. Yes, I have. All parts of the story contain importance.

2. Yes, it does. Mark of Mastery exam=learning how to beat the bad guy, then things go wrong, main villains plot is revealed

3. They are important to Dream Drop Distances story, but due to being mostly associated with the Worlds of Sleep, so I doubt they will show up again.

4. Did Chain of Memories need a new game? Did KH2 need a whole new game? Did any game other than maybe Birth by Sleep and KH1 need a whole game? No. Not only this, but Dream Drop Distance has many things that take a full game to cover. I mean, c'min, the main characters need the skills they learn in this game to beat the main villain. In fact, without this game, KH3 would have to be an entirely new story, or non-existent. The fact remains that this game is of utmost importance to the series, and nothing anyone can say will change that. Ever. This has more than enough reason to be a full game.

Also, I think you missed that KH3 is coming out at the same time, regardless of how many side/bridge games come out.
