Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix/ 2.5 HD ReMix

So it's pretty much pointless to play on a higher dificulty setting than Normal .

Because being artificially more difficult is still being more difficult

Let me explain my opinion .

Dynasty Warriors 3 had good difficulty settings .

On Easy the normal Soldiers would rarely attack and be killed in one Hit, the Officers are also pretty weak .

On Normal the Soldiers would attack more often and take a few more hits to kill .

On Hard they become really aggresiv and get just a little bit more of health, same goes for the Officers, you really have to change your Playstyle to last here .

Only on Chaos is where it becomes artificially difficult, they are just as aggresive as on Hard but deal insane Damage killing you in 3 Hits (f*cking Arrows).

In Kingdom Hearts however the only thing that does change are the Enemies stats, not their behavior .
You don't really have to change your tactics, you only have to repeat them more often .
That's why i think it's pointless to play KH on any other difficulty setting than Normal .

Personally I believe it does force you to change tactics. I find myself playing very conservatively rather then just rushing in and mashing with my weapon like my little cousins been doing on easy mode. The higher damage they do and lower damage you do make you have to plan your attacks, what items you bring, and pay close attention to your magic bar. so i'd say it forces you to change.. maybe not as much as the game you mentioned... but.. not all games are that in-depth.. gotta take what you can I guess. im happy with playing on proud mode

Well, I can say I find KH on Normal to be too easy.  Fights are too short and you take too long to be killed.  Putting it on Proud makes it so you can't just mash X in a fight and win because getting hit by even a basic heartless can 2 shot you.  Sure, it doesn't change their attack patterns, but it makes darn sure you have to pay attention to them and learn the patterns faster.

Here is some delightful gameplay with commentary .
Enjoy !
