Do you think it's possible to make a game with the tone and atmosphere of Kingdom Hearts 1-2 with the refined gameplay of the second one, and still be successful without all the references to Disney and Final Fantasy?

Yeah sure, anything is possible. But it wont be an easy task

KH1 and KH2 have a different tone and atmosphere.

I'm just gonna come out and say: no.
The presence of Disney was the entire reason why KH lifted off as hard and fast as it did.
KH2FM, maybe, even if you strip out anything Disney from it, you still have a fine tuned, perfectly crafted game.
But KH1?
Try to remove the disney shit from KH1, and what are you left with?
A nothing game, a wonky, barely working ARPG experiment that was somewhat patched up a bit with it's FM re-release but still feels clunky to play.
There's a reason why Yea Forumstards and Yea Forumsfags that fuck their little mermaid daki every night and wank over disney shit only care about KH1, and there's a reason why they essentially never discuss the gameplay side of KH1.
Because KH1 is entirely all about disney shit, and if you remove that, the game underneath just isn't good enough.

And the success of KH1 is the only thing that lead to KH2 and then it's refinement into absolute glory that is KH2FM so long story short, you need manchild disney bucks to get this shit off the ground in the first place.

>KH2
>refined gameplay
If you're a child whose never played another arpg in their life kh2 might look good, and even then only maybe.

Look at how shitty 3 was without final fantasy elements

I'm surprised no one mentioned Versus XIII yet

RIP

KH1 > KH2
KH2 MADE THE LEVELING AND EXP SYSTEMS ENTIRELY FUCKING USELESS FOR THE SAKE OF HALFASSED ACTION COMBAT WHILE ALSO HALFASSING THE RPG SIDE WHILE ALSO MAKING IT THE GRINDIEST FUCKING GAME IN THE SERIES THANKS TO DRIVE FORMS
KH1'S ABILITIES AND MECHANICS WERE ALL CLEAR AND RELATIVELY BALANCED WITH THE EXCEPTIONS OF THE OBVIOUS CHEESE TACTICS LIKE STOP/GRAVITY ON MALEFICENT, SOMETHING WHICH TAKES AT LEAST A MODICUM OF SRTUP AND PROPER LEVELLING
KH2 DOES NOT ENCOURAGE YOU PAYING ATTENTION TO ANY BUILD SINCE THE ONLY STATS THAT MATTER ARE WHAT YOUR KEYBLADE GIVES YOU AND THE ELEMENTAL RESISTANCES YOU GET FROM ARMOR, WHILE THE GAME HANDS OUT POWERFUL ABILITIES LIKE FUCKING CANDY AT PREDETERMINED STORY CHECKPOINTS
KH2 IS THE INFERIOR FUCKING GAME AND ANYONE WHO DISAGREES IS A SPEEDRUNNER NIGLET

Even though it was literally Final Fantasy even then they couldn't pull it off.

Dilate as you scream into the void, niglets.

>having to use shit buzzwords for your "argument"
typical KH2fag response

There is nothing more overrated than KH2 at this point

I liked the fact that there were subtle moments at KH1 that hinted at something greater that KH2 more or less expanded on before going off the rails with all the subsequent titles.

What am I supposed to be seeing in this picture?

3 was shitty for more reasons than that.

3's story was shit and FF characters couldn't save it anyway

That's almost entirely incorrect though. Being able to play it at level 1 doesn't stop leveling from giving you several useful advantages. KH1's build choices only last for the first few worlds before becoming similar to 2, except 2 adds more choice from abilities being on keyblades and equipment and equipping more of both as well as more that have greater effects on how you play. If you ever had to spend any significant time leveling Drives then you played very wrong.

Honestly, I feel that Kingdom Hearts would actually be better if it reduced the amount of Disney content. It has a strong enough lore and strong enough characters to make a game with minimal references to Disney, especially seeing how most of the important plot happens outside of the Disney worlds anyway.

With Nomura at the helm? Fuck no. Add and/or remove both, the guy ruined the franchise by extending and convoluting the narrative and plot of the series.

You seemed to have linked a video that is not from KH2 but is in fact a different game which was released on PS4 over 10 years later.
