So that way this kind of thing doesn’t Continue to happen. Yes, they have largely stopped doing that and Have (mostly) ported all of the games under one roof, however keep in mind that a good majority of them we still can’t properly play: days, recoded, and the Union Cross and dark road games. We only have to watch them as cut scenes, and they’re supposed to be GAMES......And we’re still getting a new mobile game, so again this trend is clearly not really going away…… If we had a reboot that truly emphasized overall quality and experience around the lines of Grandtheft auto, uncharted, Nintendo’s recent games etc this kind of thing would not be happening. Would you not rather have literally EVERY Single game released on literally literally EVERY single Console At the same time, with the kind of quality of the games I mentioned above, which has a be even more engaging and even more enrich than it already is?
We already have those. We call those collections. The most recent being the All-in-one. That’s why I’m waiting for a port of the mobile games to be remastered into a collection, even as a movie. Do I wish some of those games-turned-films stayed as games? Hell yes. Doesn’t mean I want a reboot from god-knows-where.
We get it, you want to support your friend, but this is clearly an exercise in futility. Very few of the existing fans have ever asked for a reboot of an IP, that yes, still has its problems, one of them being Nomura himself and his unbridled creativity (anyone remember when he wanted to turn Versus into a musical after watching Les Miserables?), but maybe way down in the line, like, after at least three complete arcs come to pass, it'll be an appealing idea, especially as the newer generation of gamers lose interest in the RPG genre.
But not right now, and never to someone who Nomura hasn't designated as his successor. Nobody wants a Goro Miyazaki redux.
Your question could also be asked about the live action remakes which have rebooted all of Disney’s most successful animated movies and therefore their franchises…… And for some, they weren’t exactly finished when they came out, as the lion guard was still on when the live action lion king came out, Moana may very well be getting a live action remake before it’s Disney+ series etc.……
Dude those are...adaptations of adaptations, some being profitable, most being not quite bombs but certainly nothing worth rewatching, but that's irrelevant. They're just adaptations of adaptations. The originals are locked in a book in a French or German museum/archive, and even those are adaptations themselves of local folklore.
Strangely enough, the fairy tales books' last story is always a boy with a golden key. It's the only fairytale in all the famous books not adapted...anywhere, really. Sort of makes you wonder... However, that's beside the point. It's irrelevant in context of a hypothetical reboot, unless it's, like, a live action/Disney XD adaptation.
And as for the population of worlds, wow does it indeed not feel like there’s literally ANYONE let alone ANYTHING in them, to the point where it’s beyond awkwardly embarrassing when the grand Duke in birth by sleep says “the guests were really starting to enjoy themselves“. What guests?! There’s literally no one there!
The engine was simply incapable of it back then. They had to recolour some of the Destiny Islands and Traverse Town NPCs to Agrabah way back in KH1 because technology simply wasn't that advanced back then. Hell, that crowd bowing to Mulan are slimmed down sticks with armour colourations.
Well, frankly why wouldn’t you want this? Would you not want the world to be more populated and actually feel like there’s things in them to actually feel like you’re actually saving the world instead of just going through the motions, with her actually being steaks and the feeling of its plausibly and realistically happening? The feeling of actually having more of the characters there and being not only ridden but portrayed by the original actors or a very convincing sound like which a lot of them currently do not have? The world themselves not feeling like mere levels it actually like we’re exploring the big grand landscape that they are presented as in the movies and other media? Sure, kingdom hearts III Did incorporate a lot of this, but even then it still feels limited, and they still didn’t allow us to truly engage with things like in Arendelle and kingdom of corona, Which could’ve felt a lot more satisfying and not looked down upon like they already are if they weren’t as limited. And I’ll tell you, in kingdom hearts IV with return of the Jedi and or whatever is going to be featured, it’s more than definitely only going to be Endor, With no Jabba the Hutt, Maybe even no space battle with the death star, And or various other limitations that you can possibly think of, so then what’s the point of featuring it in the first place?
What?
Well, that I’ve been saying to people for years about the Eragon and Percy Jackson movies, As I quite love both of those movies (and I have read the books, more than once actually
As they are the works that already exists, as are the Disney movies that kingdom hearts is adaptating, So what’s the difference here regardless of any overall success? Same of the Harry Potter movies that are being rebooted into an HBO series when we still don’t have the fantastic beasts movies fully concluded, or cursed child/something around those lines that truly finishes Harry’s story like JK herself says it does?
Again, those are adaptations. They're irrelevant in the context of the work because the source material is complete and untouched, and it will remain complete and untouched, barring crazy TERF shite. HP and JKR are irrelevant.
Whether you like those other games or not, those games are objectively more successful not only financially, but are also more well known then Kingdom Hearts (And more than potentially ever will be). Please ask literally anyone you know outside of the fandom about both kingdom hearts and all of those games I just mentioned, and compare how many actually know about those other games compared to kingdom hearts?
It's called a demographic. Some gamers overlap their preferred genres, and some do not. They like Valorant, or GTA, or western RPGs, or NBA exclusively and there's nothing wrong with that. Hell, we even have Final Fantasy diehards condemning Kingdom Hearts for a plethora of reasons, like "being too childish", etc.
