I was heavily inspired by content creators Cryptonix02 and Eli Farmer. Please go and view their youtube channels to view their spectacular KH rewrite series.
Anywho, here are all the plot elements I would change in KH1:
The world order is completely removed so there is no real need for it, especially in KH2, where Sora talked about the existence of others worlds to Jack, Will, and Elizabeth.
The active player party would be up to four characterinstead of three, similar to KH3.
For the FF characters who live on Destiny Islands, I'd intergrate some of their character traits from their original games. For example, Tidus has an asshole that pushes him to do better at blitzball, Wakka has a little brother named Chappu who's in elementary or middle school, and Selphie is the typical hyperactive schoolgirl with a case of hopeless romanticism.
Squall wouldn't change his name to Leon. The reason that whole thing happened was to avoid spoiling the revelation of Squall's big role in Mickey's first letter to Donald, but honestly to me (someone who never heard of Final Fantasy before playing Kingdom Hearts), that wouldn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.
Squall would make subtle references to his girlfriend Rinoa, who he hasn't seen since the destruction of their homeworld.
Since Heartless actually have hearts, there aren't referred to as "those who lack hearts" but they are instead reffered to as "creatures of pure darkness" who behave in a ruthless and feral matter.
Instead of only two party members being active in a party alongside the player character, there are now three. For example, Tarzan, Donald, and Goofy can now all fight alongside Sora.
You can switch between party members during gameplay, similar to Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Bahamut would actually be a summon.
We'd get more scenes of Ansem prior to his possession of Riku. For example, he is now the one who'd find Riku at the Rising Falls instead of Maleficent, and he'd also be present during Disney Villain meetings, standing by the sidelines. This will better help establish how
Instead of being formed from the hearts of six of the seven princesses, the Keyblade of Heart would simply be formed after Ansem possesses Riku.
Maleficent would permanently die in this game and would not return in KH2 as her role was completely pointless.
There would be a second Riku-Ansem fight after Sora sacrifices himself, where you play as Kairi wielding the Kingdom Key. After the fight, we'd get the same cutscene where Ansem reveals himself to Kairi, Donald, and Goofy.
Ansem would use the Keyblade of Heart (now called Dark Harbinger) alongside his guardian.
During the second visit to Hollow Bastion, Kairi would be a guest party member that would surround herself in a barrier of light while performing level 3 magic and other light-based attacks. She won't be available during the Behemoth and Unknown fights.
Sephiroth isn't the darkness of Cloud's heart and is instead his own person. Seriously, that doesn't describe their relationship AT ALL in the original Final Fantasy VII.
Ansem, Seeker of Darkness is now the only character named Ansem, while Ansem the Wise would be given a different name; Xehanort's Heartless is not impersonating anyone now. This means that there would be about 12 Ansem reports in total since Ansem Report 1 (or zero if you're from Japan) wasn't written by Xehanort, but Ansem the Wise.
At the end of the game, Sora, Donald, and Goofy actually read the letter from King Mickey.
