'''Formchange''' is an [[ability]] first demonstrated in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', before being included as a gameplay mechanic in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. Formchange allows the user to change their abilities or the form of their [[Keyblade]]. Formchanges are triggered via [[Situation Command]]s after achieving sufficient damage with a Keyblade. Certain Keyblades will also have the ability to Formchange a second time. Formchange is a mechanic that borrows cosmetic and technical concepts from [[Command Style]]s and [[Drive Form]]s both, and allows [[Sora]] to manipulate his Keyblade's form similar to the wielders from ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. While in a Formchange, the user is immune to negative status effects.

Unlike Drive Forms, Formchanges do not carry over into most cutscenes.<ref>The cutscenes leading into the record player scene at [[Toy Box]], the following events with [[Rapunzel]] and the [[Chaos Carriage]] battle in [[Kingdom of Corona]], and the [[Metal Troll]] and [[Catastrochorus]] battles at [[San Fransokyo]] do display the Formchange in it.</ref>

Unless noted otherwise, Sora's Formchanges, once unlocked in the Command Menu in the start of the game, do not alter his appearance while in his ''Kingdom Hearts II'' attire until he has cleared Olympus, after which his gets his new attire.

'''[[Second Form]]''' allows Sora to access his abilities from previous adventures, similar to [[Limit Form]]. The color scheme of Sora's clothing changes to resemble his ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' outfit. It is triggered by the [[Kingdom Key]], [[Starlight]], [[Midnight Blue]], [[Phantom Green]], [[Dawn Till Dusk]], [[Elemental Encoder]], and [[Advent Red]]. The Keyblade used determines the third level finisher: Starlight uses a finisher called "[[Ancient Light]]", which draws enemies in before releasing several Keyblades made of [[light]] to strike them, while the others use [[Ars Arcanum]] instead.
