This is something that I've been thinking about for a while. There are DISNEY worlds and villains that people complain are dead or "overused" and shouldn't ever return to the KH franchise. The thing is that these timeless villains and worlds - in the game story - may have been used "recently", but in reality some of them have appeared over 10 years ago. The series has a new fanbase and newer gamers will want to experience worlds like Agrabah and Atlantica in KH3 style. Not only that, but the boss fights that are possible now is completely different from KH1.
However, there is a very vocal majority of the KH fanbase that never wants to see these worlds return. But I ask, why? Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King, Mulan etc. all are very popular properties, so much so that DISNEY even did live action remakes of them FOR A NEW GENERATION. If DISNEY has no problem retelling the story, then why can't these worlds be used again in future KH games WITH their villains returning? Everyone already sees the DISNEY worlds as filler, so would anyone really get mad if Jafar or Ursula just reappears with little to no explanation? I know I won't. KH already has crazier things going on, like fictional worlds and Xehanort, so why would it be so bad to revisit some of those classic worlds? They're not only classic to the KH series, but they are the most iconic DISNEY films ever made. So why would you actively want to write them off forever? I know Nomura talked about changing up the maps for the world, but I really don't think anyone would care if we visited Agrabah and it was different from KH1. I mean, Agrabah is literally different in KH2 from KH1.
