What if Blitz Form was even better in KH3? See some examples of additions from our next #gamemod update, aimed at making this form more interesting in combat.
(Freeflowing combos! Sonic Impact! Offensive Glide! Nano Arms with Quick Slash et. al.! And new form and weapon abilities!)

Starlight deserved more than a clone of Second Form! We'll give it in our #gamemod its own Formchange, with new finishers, AOE magic, a new Shotlock, and Light Form's clothing and new abilities.
Some inspiration came from special attacks from Union χ, and from the KH3 QTE against the Demon Tide!

New year, new me? We've been working for some time (1+ year) on rebalancing all formchanges in KH3.
Sometimes, this meant reassigning new garbs and their abilities to some of Sora's formchanges… or reinventing cloned forms (like Second Form S for Starlight, now "Ancient Star").
More on that later…

Hey all!
Are you aware of any fan-run events like MC but for other fandoms? We'd love to get in touch with them, but the problem is: We don't know they exist! If anyone is aware of other fan-run events, let us know! Even if they're slightly different than what MC looks like.

One last thing before Christmas! Our mod cranks up one KH3's mechanics: timing your inputs may skip some hits in your combos.
With our mod, button mashing can skip some combos hits, leading to faster combos but with less HP damage. Only timed inputs will deal full damage!

Since 2022, our mod has revamped the story rewards given to the party. We've expanded rewards to Disney/Pixar allies, revamped the list, and included abilities from Re Mind and rarer abilities (but at high AP costs!)
In the next update, Sora and Donald will also get their spells at the same time!

What about giving some love to playable characters other than Sora? We're giving to KH3 Kairi and Riku a few more contextual combo attacks (on top of what they can do already), plus earlier cancel windows for Kairi's combos.
(Can anyone guess who is being alluded to by Kairi's Berserk Slash Combo?)

One more addition to our 2.0 update, ported and improved from the "Party Rehaul" mod: guarding with multiple characters!
Sora, Riku, Kairi and Mickey will auto-use Barrier with certain allies, prompting them to teleport to their side to guard. It'll allow you defend 2+ characters at once!

There are several unused animations for playable characters in "Kingdom Hearts III". Among them, one for the Superglide ability (superseding the regular Glide).
There's a reference to this in in-game files listing abilities: "グライド ( Lv1 ～ Lv2 ※Lv2はスーパーグライド ) 空中で□ボタンを押すと、□ボタンを放すまで自由に飛ぶことが出来る"

Some quality of life coming up with our mod: the battle target of each of Sora's allies will be seen as extra “lock-on” reticles.
This also applies if a party member is the "target": if, say, Donald is about to heal Sora, his own target reticle will show up on Sora a few seconds before the heal.

Some improvements to the behaviour of party members for the next update! Here, you can use a special combat style ("Commando") to instruct an ally to always attack your target and to follow your actions.
It's useful if, in battle, you want to actively control more than one character at once!

Genuinely, as someone who plays several live service games I always have a checklist that's like
- Ask yourself if you're having fun
- Never have a "forever game", play or read or do other stuff alongside it
- Don't set paid subs to auto-renew
- Think about what you want, not what the game wants

One more battle example, with Goofy, Baymax and Donald fighting Nobodies themselves!
Note: this is post-game footage! To make your allies this strong, you'll have to go through the main story to level up, get strong equipment, and unlock then stack costly abilities like Extra Cast and MP Giftga.

More footage of smarter party members, this time with a full party in San Fransokyo!
With a good party setup (equipment + combat options + abilities), Donald, Goofy and others will dispatch the small fry more easily in late game. Feel free to focus on stronger targets they can't handle!

Another we worked on for a couple of years: making allies properly evade damage! Here, NPC (party member) Kairi can guard and counterattack.
Other allies may choose to run away from enemies, dodge-cancel their combos, etc. It's a no brainer, but many allies in KH3 didn't do this before.

One thing we've worked on for our KH3 mod: allowing NPC Sora (as in, Sora as a party member) to use Light Form!
If you play as Riku, Aqua, Kairi or Roxas with Sora in your party, he'll use this formchange to tackle enemies.
(Backstage, we're entirely rewriting his combat behaviour for this!)

We're doing now some tuning to revenge values (RV), focused on (counter)balancing certain techniques, eg. AEO magic and double magic (whose low RV could be exploited against some bosses). It's pure math 😵💫
Kairi has also had lower RV on her attacks, to allow full combos before targets retaliate.
