Guard Armor is quite a difficulty spike. He can destroy you in seconds if you don't know how to parry his attack and this goes for the rest of the game. Since Guard is not physically obtainable at Level 1, you will have to learn how to parry with your basic Keyblade swings. This is especially important for one specific late game boss.

Also, about the partners. Because of the game's level growth, Goofy and the world exclusive partners are actually Level 2. They level up before you are even given the chance to go into the menu and put Zero EXP on. It doesn't really make a difference though since your partners are absolutely USELESS on Level 1. Donald's magic helps a bit but he dies in 1 hit to pretty much everything and Goofy gets no abilities aside from Cheer.

Q: What is this game? Why is it in Japanese?
A: This is Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, an HD Collection for PS3 currently only out in Japan but scheduled for a US and UK release. It includes the Final Mix edition of KH1, the PS2 remake of Chain of Memories and a theater mode containing the entirety of KH358/2 Days remade into an 2 and a half hour series of HD Cutscenes. KH1 also got a few technical updates including moving field actions and limits to triangle and moving the camera to the right stick much like KH2. They also added a free cutscene skip option and a completely remixed soundtrack.

Q: How are you staying at Level 1 and why?
A: The PS3 remaster included in HD 1.5 ReMIX added a new ability that was not in the PS2 version, not even Final Mix. Zero EXP, an ability that makes you never gain experience allowing you to never level up. This changes the game completely. While not as hard as other Level 1s, it forces you to use new tactics since you cannot learn any abilities outside of story ones like Dodge Roll and Sonic Blade.

Q: Why are some enemies so weak and how do you beat them so fast?
A: Zero EXP is a bit funky in KH1. While it does keep you from leveling, it seems to downgrade enemies to your level as well. As long as that ability is active, all enemies that would kill you in one hit do exactly 1 damage less then your max HP. Its basically a Second Chance that only works at full HP. Sora's damage output is also heavily buffed allowing him to beat bosses even faster then he would normally, otherwise bosses would take up to 30 minutes. However note that this buff only applies to bosses, normal enemies don't take the buffed damage effectively making regular heartless more dangerous then bosses.
