Honestly I don't see why it matters how poorly written was the game when the series started or what were they expectations back then.
Every new game builds (on a way or another) upon the bases set by its predecessor while also refining the narrative.
Right now we have for sure that a multiverse exists on Senran Kagura and that there's at least two main storylines, the only thing we can do now is speculate where the series will go now.

It's probably safe to say we have at least 6 different worlds that have been depicted in a game, thus far. Y'know that this means? {Spoiler}Hebijo's story in SV is canon. |

Just to clarify: I didn't say that the Hebijo story in SV is non-canon, I just said is a separate canon from the 3DS games.

...It was a joke, since Hebijo's story is generally the least liked in SV. Sorry if I wasn't very clear. ^^;
Regardless, yeah, they are. Even things like Daidouji and Rin being a tag team in SK2 mean that it can't be in the same canon as SV.

Just to make things simple for me, I just consider the games in 1 universe.

I know I prefer one universe and hope thats where it's going after EV. If they have to pull something like Kagura or someone from another universe, fine. I just dont want games taking place in multiple universes. Because I think thats kind of stupid and messy.

Personally I think is fantastic and is kind of the trend these days. The fandom lost their minds when the return of Jack Atlas and Crow was confirmed for Arc-V, KR Decade is one of the most well received series (same as the Power Rangers equivalent) And as [Vitz!] mentioned, it gives options to the fanbase to enjoy the franchise regardless what is the biggest appeal for them. |

These are video games though. It's a different medium. Decade was about dimension hopping and shit. I dont know much about yugioh because whatever. I'd rather have one timeline. You can have different games about different characters in the timeline but if you track off into multiple timelines, I feel it's pointless and just retcons characterization.

Multiple timelines/universes are also extremely well received on videogames: Chrono Trigger, FF Dissidia, the Megaten Franchise, the crossover series, King of Fighters...

But only when it's really a part of the type of thing going on. Chrono Trigger's whole story depends on it, FF always has had that pseudoscientific stuff going on, SK is just not the place for it in my opinion. |

Really. SK is about fanservice and ninjas fighting bad guys and demons or whatever. I honestly think they'll just stick in one timeline, EVs I think cause Yumi and some others are really popular. Maybe Kagura only is in one universe or something and SK2 was to show what she could do for when she comes into the other timeline? That or I'm leaning that it's just a cleanup job to stick to one story seeing as Estival didnt have multiple stories but one instead.
dimension stuff is almost as bad a trope as time traveling is that I can only stand in comedy situations.

Just to make things simple for me, I just consider the games in 1 universe. it is SK2 then SV/EV. this is the corrections SK2 suppose to do with it's story. first game and bust have been axed. if it worked is up for debate. taka describe SV as " the game should look like/play" taka describe SK2 as " the world they live in" |
