Editing Formchange

'''Formchange''' is an [[ability]] that allows the user to transform their [[Keyblade]] and access new abilities. It was first demonstrated in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' and was introduced as a gameplay mechanic in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''.

 

 

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]], the [[Metal Troll]] and [[Catastrochorus]] battles at [[San Fransokyo]], and the battles against {{ns|Game|Master Xehanort}} in Scala ad Caelum do display the Formchange in it.</ref> Formchanges used while Sora wears his ''Kingdom Hearts II'' outfit do not change his appearance, with the exception of Rage Form.

'''[[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]], [[Advent Red]], and [[Dead of Night]]. 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.

'''[[Rage Form]]''' allows Sora to channel his [[darkness]] in desperate circumstances. Sora takes on the appearance of a [[Pureblood Heartless]], similar to [[AntiForm]]. It has a chance of being triggered when Sora reaches critical health, regardless of current Keyblade. After using the command [[Riskcharge]], Sora will gain extra strength at the expense of half his current health.

 

While in his ''Kingdom Hearts II'' attire, Sora's appearance in Rage Form is identical to Antiform.
