So I was wondering how many more KH games are realistically possible?
I would say another trilogy is believable, but that should be the end (until a reboot 20 years from then possibly).
There are many factors that made me think of this:
Disney films that work in a KH game - even with 13 years between KH2 and KH3, there are only a handful of new Disney films that actually can work as worlds in a KH game. There's also the issue (that was apart in KH3) of a serious lack of relevant Disney villains that can appear in KH3, with the only really notable one being Hades. There's also the issue with the major upgrade in graphics making returning 3D worlds possibly stale. What I mean is if Kingdom of Corona were to appear in KH4, the areas would be the same as the ones visited in KH3. It's not like KH1 and KH2, where whole areas can magically be different (like Agrabah in KH1 compared to KH2, Halloween Town etc).
Original villain - the
Knowing when to end the story - as much as I love KH, I don't want it to go on forever and either be forgotten/lose momentum and not get a proper resolution or never have a resolution due to the series being cancelled. I think it would be best for Nomura to assemble everything he wants to accomplish and tighten up the games' stories going forward to have proper closure. He's had the luxury of "oh I can include it in the next game", but he should seriously start thinking of "the final game" and getting everything in.
The gaming world has changed - I think it's clear from KH3 that, in some ways, KH games are behind in the times compared to modern day games. It didn't bother me at all because I don't really play modern release games except a few (MKX, Arkham Knight etc), but I talked to people who are gamers and they showed me how much content is packed into modern games (even before DLC). Can a KH game accommodate that much extra content packed into it? I would love a KH game with lots of extras in it (KH3 had a lot, but it was minor stuff compared to modern games).
What are your thoughts on the number of KH games the series should conclude with?

twist worked, but this is probably the last time that a KH game can believably have a *gasp* here's the true villain moment. There should be nothing afterSpoiler ShowMaster of Masters
and that should be the final resolution of the story.Spoiler ShowMaster of Masters
