I don't see any logic behind this, seems like a random guess.  KH3 and FFXV are being made by 2 completely different teams.  KH games take way less time to make than FF games, KH games have these different worlds with small environments, its not gonna be a big world like FFXV.  Parts of the game like the story were aleady done before the game even started development.  The game has been in development since late 2012 at the latest, idk how u think a KH game is gonna take 6 years to make. 

Same director, and Square is notrious for taking loger to make a game than needed. Final Fantasy XIII took 5 years to develop and it was linear. Final Fantasy XIV took 8-9 years.

Story is the easiest part of the game to develop, btw.

I already stated why comparing KH development time to FF development time makes no sense, go back and read my post.  In case you think cause its linear that makes up the difference its not even close, FFXIII was still a way bigger game than any KH game, they are not even comparable.  I'm questioning if you've played KH2, the sizes of the worlds is tiny.  

Also its not just the story that was done, the combat was too for the most part, Nomura said if you've played DDD the combat in KH 3 is gonna feel very familiar. 

As I thought people on this site just love to hate on SE and that's all this thread is gonna do.

I played and finished KH2. Haven't finished KH1.

I assume you've never played Final Fantasy XIII. The worlds were small in that as well, and it was very much a linear game, unlike XV. Still took 5 years.

The reason KH2 took so little time was because they could reuse the engine from KH1 along with almost all of the textures, meshes, etc. Not possible with KH3, it has to be built pretty much ground-up.
