A long time ago, I saw a video by an individual known as TheKHRP. I didn't understand what he was trying to accomplish, until I realized he was planning to reboot the series. I was pretty much horrified at this, especially when I liked a few of his ideas. Just the thought of a reboot made my hair stand on end, including the thought that it might cancel Kingdom Hearts 3.
The series doesn't need a reboot. Not now. Not when KH3 is so far in development.
A reboot would erase everything we've been through in the series. Terra, Ventus, and Aqua won't be saved, the pain of those lost would never be remedied, the Xehanort Saga would end on a cliffhanger and KH3 would never be there to finish the story. Everything would be washed away and replaced with a rebooted version of KH that wouldn't be the same.
Even when KH3 shows that it's shaping up to be faithful to the Disney movies with what we saw back at E3 2015, with Disney's support no less, TheKHRP just says: "What they've shown has the same problems below the surface, that nobody looks at or realizes, that they had before. The graphics are definitely with the realm of next-gen but apart from that difference that's it."
So basically the only good thing about KH3 to this guy is that the graphics look good, and everything else is a problem?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!!
Someone told him that they liked Kingdom Hearts the way it is, and he said that was a problem with "how we look at Kingdom Hearts", saying that it can never be "fine." Even when faced with the fact that we have been waiting YEARS for KH3, and that we've been waiting for a conclusion to the Xehanort Saga, he just says that Kingdom Hearts 3, or in his words, wanting KH3, is not what's best for the series, and instead says that rebooting the series is the better option. When I told him about the many reactions to KH3, he just says that we were just following and reacting blindly without looking at the series "objectively", then going on and on about "the diamond in the rough" and crap like that. He doesn't even care about how long we've been waiting, and that his reboot would cancel KH3.
Lack of defining music, he says. Oh that's FREAKING RICH. -_-
And apparently to him, if we were all "true" KH fans, we should want the reboot!
Even when people say that he should wait until after Kingdom Hearts 3 is released, he just shoots that down and says that he won't.
He says that he is giving what we want, yet he constantly says that his reboot is what HE wants us to see. What HE wants us to hear, what HE wants us to "feel".
Sure, some of his ideas are good, but I feel like he's wasting them for something that could split the whole KH fanbase apart.
Now that I've got that rant out of the way, let's get onto why reboot =/= good.
Rebooting the series is a BAD IDEA. Not only would it basically be EXPENSIVE AS ALL HELL, but it would be the BIGGEST SLAP IN THE FACE FOR FANS, especially ones that played ALL THE GAMES in anticipation for the long awaited KH3.
"Sorry, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been cancelled. But here's a reboot of KH1 because SOME GUY ON YOUTUBE FORCED US TO DO IT."
It would be a huge middle finger to the point where some people would consider burning down SE's offices.
It would take forever to reboot every single game in the franchise, and a reboot itself would be THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY IN THE HISTORY OF MONEY WASTING.
If the series is rebooted, I would seriously just give up and cry...knowing that KH3 would never see the light of day, and that everything I've been through would be erased.
Sorry if this is pretty much a rant that's biased, but I just had to get it off my chest...
