Despite being dormant for a little while on home consoles, Kingdom Hearts III is set to plot the return of Square Enix’s twee Disney and JRPG mash-up on the PlayStation 4. However, with no firm timeframe attached to the title, the Japanese publisher is taking the opportunity to poll fans on their thoughts on the franchise. And if you have particularly strong opinions on the series, you can share your feelings through here.
The official survey includes a number of obvious questions such as which systems you own, but it also delves into some serious nitty-gritty, asking what sort of items you’d like to see in a hypothetical collector’s edition and which is your favourite entry in the series. Don’t spend too long on that last one, as it’s clearly Kingdom Hearts II. The questionnaire goes on to ask about your favourite TV shows and music artists, which is seemingly redundant information that a marketing department will no doubt find a use for.
Exactly why the publisher is running the study at all is unclear, but we’re secretly hopeful that it’s preparing for some imminent announcements regarding the next-gen instalment in the series. As already alluded, the PS4 sequel doesn’t have a release window attached to it, but director Tetsuya Nomura indicated late last year that the team’s working hard so that you will get to play it sooner. Fingers crossed for 2018, then?

Kingdom Hearts 1 is the best outta the mains, but i gotta go with Birth by Sleep as my favourite. They better get FF15 out soon so they can spend 10 years on KH3 =[
I'm looking forward to playing it for my 40th birthday
Kingdom Hearts II was no where near as good as the original to me. The original had so much charm and wonderment that was 90% lost in it's over-the-top sequel.
I think it was all down to that Squaresoft VS SquareEnix situation.
I'm looking forward to Kingdom Hearts 3, but make it the last game.

Are you joking there has been no Kingdom Hearts on the PS3 for around 8 years, apart from KH 1.5HD Remix then this year's KH 2.5HD Remix thay skipped a whole generation.
Cannot wait for KH3 & obviously KH 2.5HD Remix.
I loved KH2 as the best in the series, IMO. It was just amazing, and I feel the game play improved from 1 immensely.
I love final fantasy, and I love disney. And I love RPGs. I can't get into new Kingdom Hearts at all. It gets worse with each iteration. Spastic battle systems don't do it for me and I get the feeling the storywriters are all in on a big inside joke seeing how much nonsense they can get away with.
Don't like FF and don't really have any interest in KH either, if I loved this sort of game then i'd be investing in a Nintendo console. Just not my cup of tea but its nice to see a company communicating directly with fans prior to any devmanship.
Final Fantasy are my favourite games but as @Squiggle55 said I never got into Kingdom Hearts.
I loved the first Kingdom Hearts,even my wife really enjoyed watching me play it, and every single villain species in every game since is based off of "the heartless" and it seems like every JRPG real time support battle system is based off of KH as well.
I dont know what happened to KH2. All I remember is that "beat 1,000 bad guys" level. I didn't like the main character and never felt like I knew what was going on. Probably b/c I never played the handheld game that was supposed to bridge the 2. I still haven't played any other game in the series and dont want to. Well I may replay 1 in HD b/c that was good, but none of the others. I'll be dead and buried before 3 comes out - trying to stay alive for Last Guardian - so I'm not worried about it.
I have to sell my PS3, Final Remix, and KH 1 & 2 from PSOne to pay some bills with kids coming. I know it will never happen but I would want a collection on PS4 just to have it again, even if it was just a port. A man can wish, right?
@4estGump maybe it'll show up on play station now? That would be your best bet probably unless they do something like kh saga to gear for 3's release.
I filled out the survey, hopefully they take some of my advice/hints.
