To fellow Kingdom Hearts fans, we don't need KH3 in 2016

I'm not personally a huge fan of most traditional JRPG's, but I love me a good Action RPG, like KH or anything from the Tales series, and at this point I'm honestly just sick of Square remakes and am losing faith that they can deliver a satisfying action game. Lots of long running studios have a handful of re-releases, but holy shit Square has just repacked and remade so much of their library, it's nauseating. I'm eagerly anticipating Kingdom Hearts 3, but it's been delayed and pushed back so often at this point that its future isn't looking the brightest. In general, KH games have been incredibly Hit-or-miss with me in terms of quality, since I think KH 2 and 358/2 days are some of the greatest narratives ever told through videogames in general, while KH 1 and Re:Coded are horribly programmed hot piles of dog excrement. Betwen the vast range of quality, little available information and constant pushbacks combined with a studio that's better known at this point for remakes and handheld RPGs, I'm not holding my breath for KH 3.

Oh and just a minor note, Monster Hunter is definitely not an RPG. It's a weird game to confine to a genre, but roleplaying is 100% not a part of it.

Monster Hunter is an RPG more than it is anything else and Monster Hunter stories is actually going to be turn-based so it is easily an RPG. 

As for the rest, even if you aren't accounting for DQ games, Star Ocean, Final Fantasy Explorers, FFXV, both God Eater games, Tales of Berseria, Ni No Kuni II, Dark Souls III and Neir: Automata are all action RPG's. That is nine action RPG's that we know of so far, and we aren't even in 2016 yet. Including the other games I listed, we have something like 20 known RPG's coming out next year, and while 3 of them are remakes, that's 3 out of 20. Also, a lot of people who are about KH have been fans of the genre for at least 13 years if they got involved in the series when it released. I'm sure anyone who is closer to my age, has been a fan longer than. Hell I know I have. Finally, it really sounds like you are discounting handheld RPG's as if only console ones are worth comparing to other console ones. Pokemon notwithstanding, if you think Fire Emblem Awakening isn't on par with with console RPG's, you don't know RPG's well enough to debate them or defend anything about them. You need to explain some things to me because it really sounds like you don't know what's what in the RPG line-up.

Keep in mind as well, that this list is set up for all RPG's because even if you don't like anything outside of action RPG's, Fire Emblem Fates and Bravely Second are two of the most anticipated RPG's to be released next year, both of which are on Handheld.
