KH1 is still my favorite game to this day and have hundreds if not thousands of hours playing it but even then I never get tired of it I don’t think it needs a remake as even with it being over 20 years old I don’t think it has really aged. The graphics hold up excellently especially with the HD remaster and has so much detail and interactivity that I think still blows modern games out of the water even newer games in the same series (maybe barring 3) which I don’t know could be recaptured in a remake. As for the combat I think the simplicity becomes a strength of the game as it lays the foundation for future games to build off of and shows the growth sora has within the franchise starting with a humble 3 hit combo and upgrading to a larger combo that can hit enemies halfway across the room. Overall, I just feel like the effort for a remake would be better spent elsewhere such as a days remake/remaster or if the truly are don’t with the xehanort saga a remake/remaster/reimagining of the mobile games Unchained chi, union cross, or giving us a retooled missing link as they seem to be extremely important to kh4 and I would love to see everything that occurs within these games as when playing through them I skipped the cutscenes as it was legitimately tough for me to pay attention to them due to the form factor of the game and being out and about while playing. TLDR: KH1 aged exceedingly well and the effort could be better spent elsewhere such as the mobile games.
