It basically is fact. This is years and years of storytelling trends we're looking at here. True, the characters and world are great, and if that's all you want, then fine. But most people don't just want the characters and the world; they want to see the characters actually doing important shit in that world. It's the reason why Volumes 3 and 4 are so much more popular than 1 and 2; the characters we love are out there DOING THINGS now, fighting against a real, clear foe. And if a sequel happens, and the enemy isn't on the same level as Salem, the story will fall flat. A good story needs a good enemy, that's all there is to it.

Antagonist issues aside, another issue is how the games would be paced. I mean, remember, all the REAL roaming adventure and action shit is happening now in Volumes 3 and 4. All of Vols 1 and 2 were basically just school time slice-of-life stuff with the occasional fight and cameo from a bad guy mixed in.

How are they gonna handle that whole school arc, just turn it into a massive Tutorial? Because we all know how well KH2's 7-Day Tutorial went over.
