The series has complex lore but it is presented to you in chunks that all have devoted segments in the games, so if you just take them one at a time, just taking in what that game gives you, you should be fine

RE Sephiroth: They may seem insignificant, but you'll really get lost if you don't play those games in order. There's a huge difference between experiencing a plot element and reading about it, especially in a series like this that likes to build on little things from previous games that you'd never expect.

And excuse you, Birth By Sleep is as important as KH 1 and 2, basically
