Thinking again about how Donald and Goofy were powerful enough to defeat Ansem in KH1 with the player standing still (with the right setup): youtu.be/smKDnz_Sl7U?...

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
- 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

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!)

BTW, join the fun in this yearly online #KingdomHearts fan event!
Alhough there has been lately a dearth of KH news, this event is always a good chance to celebrate the series, and to discover many fan-tastic creations and talented people once in a year.

A small teaser of what we've been working on for the 2.0 of our #gamemod: bringing new, useful abilities to party members—like Stopza for Mickey!
It's part of a larger chunk of work done to make all party members relevant and reliable in battle (with new skills, stats and behaviour in combat).

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.

Something unusual in our mod, is that you can install 3 different progression paths for Sora: Warrior, Mystic, or Guardian.
Each one has its own base stats, level up stats and abilities, but also different jumping, running, wall-scaling, swimming, and gliding powers!

More stat rebalancing for #KingdomHearts 3! With our #gamemod, Donald, Goofy, and all party members will have new weapon stats.
Staves and shields will have some subtle combinations of stats and abilities (including elemental resistance), hopefully making all weapons interesting even in late-game.

Continuing a bit with stat balancing for LvD 2.0, now with Sora's Keyblades! We'll be giving them new abilities, stats and descriptions.
We'll also move the OP abilities (like "Magic Roulette" and "Aeroza") up to higher Forge levels (LV7-LV9), with rare synthesis items needed to upgrade.

Our mod is rebalancing pretty much everything in "Kingdom Hearts 3" (except the Gummi ship…), including total stats for all of Sora's party members, their weapons, level bonuses, etc.
For the upcoming 2.0 update, all Guardians will level up like other party members, with new level up stat bonuses!

Also, Terra joins the party!
For the next update, we've developed him and added the list of party members in the game (without replacing anyone).
Aside from combos, he can summon meteors, cast Curaga, and use his Ultima Cannon shotlock from BBS.
Here is he in one of Olympus's battlegates:
