| | '''Limit Form''' is the exclusive [[Drive Form]] only in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix+]]''. It is obtained along with Oathkeeper during the second visit to Twilight Town, right after learning Kairi had indeed been there only to be kidnapped by Axel. Sora clothes get the colors of his original clothes in [[Kingdom Hearts (game)|''Kingdom Hearts'']]. The form is able to let Sora use abilities from ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', an example being Dodge Roll or Zantezuken. However, like Valor form, magic is unusable in this Form as the new attacks, under the Limit menu, replaces the Magic menu. It is symbolized by a red crown (similar in appearance to [[Sora]]'s necklace). |

| '''Limit Form''' is a [[Drive Form]] that appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. It uses neither team member and consumes four of Sora's Drive Bars. It represents Sora's past,<ref>'''Yen Sid's mirror''': "An image of you obtaining old powers flows into your mind."</ref> and is obtained along with [[Oathkeeper]] at the end of the second visit to [[Twilight Town]], after Sora learns about Kairi's abduction. Its emblem is a silver crown. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Design==
| | It consumes 4 Drive Bars, like the Master Form. |
| {{Main|Form:Sora}}
| |
| Limit Form changes Sora's clothes into the color scheme of his ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' outfit with the addition of a red crown on his knees. Limit Form changes designs depending on the world he is in:
| |
| *In [[Timeless River]], Sora's appearance does not change. However, his HUD sprite gains a violet tint.
| |
| *In [[Halloween Town]], Sora's mask is changed into a heart with a black and red checkered pattern.
| |
| *In [[Christmas Town]], Sora's hat and the back of his shirt have a white crown.
| |
| *In [[Space Paranoids]], Sora's armor and circuitry are patterned after his ''Kingdom Hearts'' outfit. His torso, helmet, and arms are silver, his pants are red, his shoes are yellow, and there is a blue band around his waist and collar. He also has the Limit symbol on the center of both of his gloves.
| |
|
| |
|
| Limit Form is the only Drive Form in which Sora has no auras of light surrounding him, although whenever he enters a new area, his torso glows red for a short time and a few specks of light fall off of him. Limit Form's version of [[Guard]] uses the ''Kingdom Hearts'' guarding motion, rather than the standard ''Kingdom Hearts II'' motion.
| | Each of Limit Form's special abilities comes with a [[Reaction Command]] that leads to a stronger attack. (Just like ''Kingdom Hearts'' did, just with the triangle button this time). The abilities Sora can use in this form are: |
|
| |
|
| ==Mechanics==
| | *''Strike Raid'' |
| Limit Form is a unique form that mimics Sora's abilities from the original ''Kingdom Hearts'' game, alongside the additions given to him in ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' (such as having Slide Dash and Slapshot by default and the finishers). In this form, Sora's [[Magic]] commands are replaced with new [[Limit#Limit Form|Limit]] commands, whereby special abilities from ''Kingdom Hearts'' can be accessed for a set [[MP]] cost. Since magic is disabled, Sora cannot use [[Cure]] to heal; to compensate, each physical hit from a Limit recovers some HP, regardless if the targets are vulnerable or not, though hitting them uses up the form's duration per hit.
| | Sora throws the Keyblade at an enemy several times using the Reaction Command. |
|
| |
|
| Unlike in ''Kingdom Hearts'', the Limit attacks, except for Sonic Rave, do not have invincibility frames that can be exploited by delaying the followup attacks. In general, Limit Form is a more simplistic Drive Form, as Sora retains much of his normal movement and basic combo attacks, albeit with new finishers and a powerful counter command. However, Limit Form has the advantage of being able to block (without the spin), jump slightly higher than usual (to compensate for the lack of access to [[High Jump]]), and roll across the ground using the form's Growth Ability.
| | *''Ragnarok'' |
| | Unleashes an aerial combo at a single enemy and finishes with various beams being shot by the Keyblade. |
|
| |
|
| Limit Form gains a single point of experience each time the finish command of a Limit is used (Finish, The End, Judgment or Giga Impact), regardless if it hits. Leveling up upgrades the form's Growth Ability, [[Dodge Roll]] for both itself and Sora's standard form. Also, level-ups reward Sora's standard form with the {{c|Auto Limit|action ability}}, [[Draw]], and [[Lucky Lucky]] abilities.

|
| ==Strategy==
| | *''[[Dodge Roll]]'' |
| As Limit Form can be used without either of Sora's party members, it is especially useful in solo fights such as the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]] as well as the [[Game:Roxas|boss fight against Roxas]]. Its Limits can deal considerable damage while also healing Sora.
| | Sora leaps a short distance, it blocks and reflects all attacks while in use. |
|
| |
|
| To effectively level up Limit Form, equip as many [[Form Boost]]s as possible before engaging in battle, including [[Oathkeeper]], and repeatedly use the [[Sonic Rave]] limit, which costs the least amount of MP to use, until MP runs out. Return to a Save Point to recover MP before returning to battle. Repeat the process until the Form gauge is about to run out, then leave the world and return to refill the Drive Gauge to maximum. Continue in this way until Limit Form reaches the desired level. Using an Ether immediately before a Limit can sometimes cause the MP to be refilled after the Limit completes, increasing the MP efficiency of training.
| | They are stronger than they're original versions from '''Kingdom Hearts''', though. |
|
| |
|
| The best places to train Limit Form are the battle with Mushroom [[No. 5]] in Agrabah, which is near a Save Point (and where Sonic Rave can be spammed without locking onto it so that the form duration doesn't decrease when not hitting any targets), [[Ruin and Creation's Passage]], which contains many Nobodies and is adjacent to the [[Altar of Naught]], allowing Sora to quickly revert and refill his Drive Gauge, and the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]], where Sora can unleash an immense amount of Limits due to the huge quantity of Heartless quickly refilling his MP and Drive Gauges.
| | Unlike other Drive Forms, the Limit's abilities, as they are selectable from a menu, can be placed into the Shortcut menu (by holding L1) |
|
| |
|
| ==Notes and references==
| | Even though both Quick Run and Dodge Roll require the player using the square button, equipping both of the Growth Abilities during Sora's normal state still allows the use of individual ability by pressing the said button differently; a Dodge Roll can be performed by quickly tapping the square button, and for Quick Run, simply hold the square button slightly longer than what one would do with the Dodge Roll. Note that Quick Run served Dodge Roll's purpose in the original Kingdom Hearts II. Depending on the player's preference, either or both of the abilities will be equipped, though most prefer Dodge Roll over Quick Run due to the Dodge Roll's quicker recovery time and 100% chance of executing Dodge Roll without the risk of accidentally using Quick Run because of imprecise button-pressing. |
