It’s been a long time since we last saw a major installment in the “Kingdom Hearts” franchise, and fans should also keep in mind that a lot has changed in the industry as a whole in that time. Therefore, it may be a bit unreasonable to expect the original gameplay to stay the same, and there will likely be some significant changes.
That also includes making the game more accessible to a larger audience. Depending on how far Square Enix go with that, it could be acceptable, but at some point it will feel like they’re dumbing down the game to sell more, so hopefully they’re going to maintain a nice balance.
The studio has shown that they’re deeply in touch with their fans with everything they’ve done so far though, so we have every reason to trust that they’re going to handle the release of “Kingdom Hearts 3” properly and aren’t going to let such an important title slip away from them without a fight.
We’re going to find out if their efforts have paid off sooner or later, but needless to say, many fans are hopeful that the release date is going to be a bit earlier during the next year. With that in mind, they are also hoping to get an announcement about the studio’s plans sometime soon.
