That's the KH fandom in a nutshell for you. Always yearning to return to the classic formula of "Sora going on adventures to defeat the Big Bad" and then people start speculating and want the games to focus on the other characters.

I'd argue that Sora's inclusion in specific title(s) undermines those entries and in turn makes them as you say *very stupid*.Sora is a main character, if he was wiped, the series would become very stupid, and sooner than later, it will be hated.
Because almost every character in this game is as boring and transparent as Mr. Stereotypical Goku/Naruto/Luffy/EVERYTHING anime shoshun protagonist. AND THIS IS A DISNEY GAME. DISNEY MOVIES UNDERSTOOD THE CONCEPT OF DEATH AND CONSEQUENCE BETTER THAN KINGDOM HEARTS. And when Time Travel is introduced in a Disney movie, it's somewhat easy to digest. At least Meet the Robinsons somewhat is. BUT IN KINGDOM HEARTS? DO I REALLY NEED TO START?To this point, I think it's hilarious how every time we take a break from Sora to tell other character's stories, we start yearning to return to him. But then once we do, we're quickly fed up and want him to leave again.
I think you are rightI don’t think I will remove any character cause those characters are what made kingdom hearts popular.
At least he's voiced by 2nd best JoJo, has the greatest boss theme in series history as of yet, and technically has like the 3rd highest kill count in the series.View attachment 12871
This guy made the series popular alright.....in more wrong ways than one.
So cut out EVERYTHING after DDD, most likely BBS as well.......honestly KH3 as Unreal Engine would have to be sacrificed for that....it'll make the game easier to digest and the best part is that y'know NOT HAVE EVERYTHING'LL BE SHOE-HORNED INTO LITERALLY ONE PLACE.Tbh the problems the KH series has as a whole cannot be rectified by simply removing one single character, no matter how superfluous or "cheap copy-cat version of another character" some of them may seem.
The moniker of "bland", "half-baked" or "concept instead of character" applies to several characters across the cast including some of the supposed core/major characters but that is not a problem because of those characters existing. It's because there is nothing truly deeply done with many of them that could be called an own story arc or characterization to make them truly memorable.
Most of them serve as either exposition fairies, drama providers or plot prizes/goals instead of actual participants in the overall story.
At least in the games, the novels tend to be better at this.
Instead of a single character, I'd rather cut away some concepts who make things needlessly stupid, confined and/or complicated, like the whole "Book of Prophecies"-crap, the black box and time-travel as a major plot point.

Oh, wow, I never knew that! Both he and Vivi felt like forced attempts to use non-Nomura FF characters... Personally, I thought Vivi was worse simply because of the voice acting, but that was just me. Still, I wouldn't excise them entirely, they were cute cameos if nothing else.The reason for that was because Nojima was completely unfamiliar with the character. He was all ready to write for Rufus in that role but then Nomura decided there were too many FF7 characters and swapped him out lol

Some people said Kairi early on. I don't think Riku has been erased yet, but I feel we are heading towards the series just being Donald and Goofy fighting against Ansem SoD and Xemnas, which actually sounds pretty good.I'm getting curious: if we put all our views together, get rid of all these characters and start over, who do we have left? (Kairi???)

Riku stays because he has a character arc.I'm getting curious: if we put all our views together, get rid of all these characters and start over, who do we have left? (Kairi???)
