| '''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== | | ==Mechanics== |
| {{Main|Form:Sora}}
| | Limit Form is gained after the second visit to Twilight Town. Limit Form gains one experience point for every successful use of Sora's limit. |
| 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: | | {{section-stub}} |
| *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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Mechanics== | | ==Appearance== |
| 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.
| | In this form, Sora's clothes change into the same colors and style of the clothes he wore in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories''. This is the only Drive Form where Sora has no auras of lights 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. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | *'''[[Timeless River]]:''' Sora's health icon gains a purple tint. His body does not actually change. |
| | *'''[[Halloween Town]]:''' Sora's mask turns into a red, black and silver heart over his right eye. |
| | *'''[[Christmas Town]]:''' A grayish silver crown appears on Sora's santa hat and on the back of his shirt. |
| | *'''[[Space Paranoids]]:''' Sora's circuit lines turn silver above the waist, red below the waist, and yellow on his feet. |
|
| |
|
| 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. | | <gallery perrow="5"> |

| ==Strategy== | | {|width="100%" class="wikitable" |
| 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 boss fight against {{ns|Game|Roxas}}. Its Limits can deal considerable damage while also healing Sora. It boasts powerful ground combo finishers, which can be augmented with [[Combo Boost]], making the [[Decisive Pumpkin]] Keyblade an excellent choice to pair with this form.

| | |width="70%" style="text-align:center"|'''Description''' |
| | |-bgcolor="#ffe4b5" |
| | |'''[[Dodge Roll]]''' |
| | |Sora executes a quick roll in a short distance; all attacks are negated during the period of rolling. |
| | |} |
|
| |
|
| 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.

| | |width="70%" style="text-align:center"|'''Description''' |
| | |-bgcolor="#ffe4b5" |
| | |'''[[HP Gain]]''' |
| | |Every successful hit with a Limit Ability increases HP. Hits do not have to damage enemies to restore HP (i.e. limit attacks landed against invulnerable opponents restore HP). |
| | |-bgcolor="#ffe4b5" |
| | |'''[[Draw]]''' |
| | |Attracts Munny/HP/MP/Drive orbs to this character. |
| | |-bgcolor="#ffe4b5" |
| | |'''[[Lucky Lucky]]''' |
| | |Increases item drop rate by 50%. |
| | |-bgcolor="#ffe4b5" |
| | |'''[[MP Rage]]''' |
| | |MP recovers every time this character is hit (inactive while recharging). |
| | |-bgcolor="#ffe4b5" |
| | |'''[[MP Haste]]''' |
| | |MP recharges 25% faster. |
| | |} |
|
| |
|
| 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.
