Nah KH is still kid friendly. I mean, The Lion King had a lion trampled to death and his son crying over his dead body. Still a kid's movie. Kid's have serious stuff in there media all the time. Heck, probably more serious then anything in Kingdom Hearts.

It kinda reeks of lazyness to me to be honest . I really don't like the "they're not needed" arguement either, cause you could make that argument with a lot of things that are already in KH3, but they thought of some ways to include them anyway. Heck, some of the original characters are not really needed, but with things like the time traveling plot made them needed anyway. We did not really need like at least half of the original organization come back but since people like them alot they found a way to include them. Heck, characters like Axel were supposed to stay dead but came back cause he was a fan favorite. Whether you see it as contrived or not there are ways to make characters "needed" and heck Kingdom Hearts does not shy away from being contrived, especally recently. It would not hurt to have a few more. It's really not that hard either, like mentioned they could of had some as party members like Auron in KH2.
As a person that has never played Final Fantasy yet and as such much more invested in the Disney side than the Final Fantasy side, I can understand everyone's irritation and am quite irritated myself cause I know if it was the other way around with Disney being barely present I would be pretty angry to say the least.
(I also hate when people criticize these things and people claim they are not real fans and they don't care about the original characters enough or something. Like you can care about more than one thing and you can still love the franchise while criticizing it's many faults. I'm still super excited for this game and I'm sure I'll still enjoy it a lot, but there are a lot of things that are a bit of a downer)

I'm not too happy about Disney owning Fox... they got too much power in the industry and seeing how they are already, it's just going to get worse (probably). I don't know much about what they plan to do or why they did it, but it gives me a bad feelings...
As for Kingdom Hearts, it took them a long time to get Pixar into Kingdom Hearts. Even then Pixar was more so assimilated into the Disney Studios, compared to other companies like LucasFilms and Marvel. I highly doubt we'd be seeing Avatar or Alien in the Kingdom Hearts series. But that doesn't mean they could try... though I feel like it'd be more difficult to try to get them in...

Just as another thing, I don't really see many of the franchises outside of what Disney itself has produced making it into KH. Disney and Pixar have worked very very closely together since the acquisition which makes that a little bit more understandable as to how Pixar franchises got included in KH3, but Nomura himself noted that they have to ask not just Disney, but the individual companies as well and anyone that has control over the franchise (looking at you EA with your exclusivity contract from Lucas Arts for Star Wars games for a while). Which makes it a little bit more challenging than to simply just say "Hey Disney, we would like to use Avatar in our next KH game, would that be okay?" cus even if Disney greenlights it, they would then also have to petition Fox and whoever else might have control over Avatar.

I definitely think it's good to listen to fan feedback for areas of improvement, however I'm with the majority here in that I don't think they should do fan service just for the sake of making everyone happy. You can't please everybody and people are always going to find something to complain about anyways. Ideally they should do what's best for the games and story as a whole, not just every little thing that fans call for because sometimes, fan ideas aren't always necessarily what's best for the games. 

Lol, I also enjoy Nomura's weirdo stuff. It's not perfect but I love KH's convoluted lore and characters. I expect the next saga to continue to be utter madness. I'm waiting for a green haired Kairi and red haired Sora to pop up in KH4.

The fan service doesn't really work, as the people above me have already pointed out. Whatever Nomura does, people are going to say the same things again, that there weren't enough things about this and/or that. It happened with the seventh season of Game of Thrones, and it'd happen to KH4. I think Nomura should focus on what he wants for the franchise, while also, maybe, taking a small number of fan-suggestions into account. But I'd be fine with whatever he does, as long as Kairi becomes useful in AT LEAST one game.

i don't think that's a good idea. Part of the charm of the kh series (for me at least) is Nomura's weirdo stuff. Letting fans run the series would lead to no one really being surprised or intrigued anymore because we'd know where everything is going. I think it would make everyone happy, but only on a very surface level, y'know?

There's a saying I always keep in mind for things like this. Don't let the inmates run the asylum. It's impossible to please everyone, and selecting a few fan things while ignoring others will just cause more of the same thing to happen. I for example have my issues with KH3 but the lack of FF characters was not one of them.

A Kairi and/or Lea centered game would be amazing, especally since they both got the short end of the stick in KH3, especally Kairi. Basically any character other than Sora, though he is my favorite character, but I would love to play as a character we have not played as before (not including the multiplayer mode or whatever in Days).

I get that you’re salty he didn’t have more screentime, but these things still don’t mean Nomura hates Roxas. Almost all of the things you said are most likely due to the poor pacing, and Nomura having to give attention to way too many characters all at once. Roxas isn’t the only character to get minimal screentime. Terra didn’t have much either, let alone Xion or Namine. The reason he did get so little screentime is because he only came back so late, and it wouldn’t have made sense to bring him back earlier.
About Roxas&Xion vs Saix on the other hand... I really liked it tbh? It makes sense Nomura would save all the Xehanorts (including Xemnas, naturally) for Sora, since he IS the main character after all. Sure, Roxas vs Xemnas could have been cool, but having Saix there made sense. Plus, this time Xion was there too and she really deserved a chance to get her payback too lol. Also, Saix wanted to atone for what he did to the Seasalt trio, so it kinda makes sense for his arc, too, that they would be the ones to defeat him. not really the best way to redeem a character if you ask me, but it does make sense even if it’s not the best writing.

Gahhh this would not surprise me if this happened. Again, nothing wrong with bromances and I love Sora and Riku friendship but I ALSO WANNA LOVE KAIRI'S FRIENDSHIP WITH THOSE TWO JUST AS MUCH!

She has character, just Nomura does not want to expand on it cause he want's to focus on the "bromance". Which in itself is fine but it's annoying when one of the literal MAIN CHARACTERS gets shoved to the side for it constantly. It's not the characters fault, it's Nomuras. She has a personality, it's just not expanded on.

Same. Again, I would use Roxas anyway so I'm good. But my sister has a videogame crush on Riku. I know she'll be disappointed by no Riku.

Everyone has their favorites, but some more so than others. 
But in all seriousness though, hopefully they get more.

Agreed. I mean I would use the Roxas one myself, but the fact that not all the characters are selectable is disappointing. Not even Riku is one. Now they might add more later So I won't complain. Still it's funny after a KH statement like "Everybody has their favorites" and a chunk of the characters are missing lol.

Will be talking about spoilers in this review so it'll be under the spoiler banner, view at your discretion. 
pls read and discuss this review in the comments and with me it took me ages to write it lol
sorry for the lack of structure in some of my thoughts btw this was incredibly stream of consciousness and not at all planned
 hope u enjoyed xox

just about everything, brave up and coco the most

Somebody mad about not getting a coat in Arendelle.

I need to say Kairi, but I don't know if I can realy blame her. As a character (like, personality) she was good, but man, the writers just really dropped the ball with her.
