I've been reading all these post and I agree with a lot of what you said. I hate this mentality that if you are not connected to the ancient past/KHUX you don't have a role in the future Kingdom Hearts games and be retired. This is mainly directed at Roxas's group to write them off, yet people seem to think Terra and Aqua are secure just because of their association with Ventus. Sora, Riku, and Kairi don't even have current ties to KHUX, yet nobody will say they aren't welcome in a future KH game...well maybe some might say that for Kairi. But KHUX should not determine who stays and who goes.I don't think you can dismiss all Aqua fans as crazy or only caring for their "waifu". There's obviously a reason that Aqua got her own game over other characters at that time (Kairi included).
It doesn't really matter to me if Sora/Roxas/Ven have the same face models or whatever. A lot of people believe that Nomura is going to be trimming the fat for Phase 2, and Ven is secure due to his ancient past retcon. I will be upset if Ven is kept on, while Roxas (and Xion) are written off as I think they are way more developed and deserving of more stories than Ven. Due to Roxas/Ven looking exactly the same, I don't think Nomura would want to keep those two around due to confusion... and there's no excuses of being asleep in Castle Oblivion or being trapped inside Sora to keep them apart.
Edit: I also agree, that if you don't use Roxas, Xion, or any of the characters you brought back then what was the point in bringing them back? Roxas and Xion served a purpose when they were dead. Bringing them back undermines their story if they are retired right after bringing them back. Especially not even addressing their current mindset which KH3 did not do. So if they end up retired then they should have stayed gone.
