Sora's clothes change to the colors of his original clothes in [[Kingdom Hearts (game)]]. The form lets Sora use abilities from ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', such as Dodge Roll or Zantetsuken. It is symbolized by a red crown (similar in appearance to [[Sora]]'s necklace). Similar to Master Form, it consumes 4 Drive Bars. |

| '''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== | | ==Obtaining Limit Form== |
| {{Main|Form:Sora}}
| | [[Image:LimitForm2.jpg|left|200px]] |
| 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:
| | This form is earned when Sora visits [[Twilight Town]] for a second time and after Sora learns the abduction of [[Kairi]] by [[Axel]]. You will also receive the [[Oathkeeper]] as well. However, it is not able to be used until the player visits [[Hollow Bastion]] or some other world after leaving Twilight Town. |
| *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.
| | ==Leveling Up== |
| *In [[Christmas Town]], Sora's hat and the back of his shirt have a white crown.
| | Limit Form gains experience points by executing the final reaction command in his limits (by pressing Triangle). When reaching Level 2 Limit Form, Sora gains the Auto-Limit ability. At level 3, 5, and 7, Sora gains Dodge Roll level 1, 2, and 3, respectively. At level 4 Limit Form, Sora gets Draw, and at level 6, Sora gains another Lucky Lucky ability. |
| *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.
| | ==Abilities== |
| | Sora's magic is replaced by four limits in this form. Unlike the other limits in KHII, limits used in this form do not cost all of Sora's MP. Press Triangle to complete reaction commands in each limit. |
|
| |
|
| ==Mechanics==
| | If you scroll to Sora's Magic command, you'll find that Sora's spells have been replaced by these four limits. Also, if you have magic set in the shortcut menu by Customize, then the limits are also usable from the Shortcut menu. However, this feature is disabled if you have an item set to a button with Shortcut. For example, if you have a potion set to the Circle shortcut, then you won't be able to use Sonic Blade from the shortcut. |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | Sora gains the Dodge Roll growth ability in this form, the same ability from the original Kingdom Hearts. While using Dodge Roll, Sora is invincible. |
|
| |
|
| 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. | | ===Actions=== |

| | '''Pros''' |
| | *Requires no ally to access, therefore Sora has a better crowd controlled gameplay. |
| | *Sora is invincible during the executing period of some limits. However, Sora can be damaged while recovering from some of his combos. |
| | *Sora is invincible when he is dodge rolling, thus negating all enemy attacks. |
| | *By combining HP Gain and MP Rage abilities, Sora can restore his HP and MP indefinitely. |
| | *Most limits can be executed completely by button mashing Triangle. |
| | *Gains an extra Lucky Lucky ability for more item drops! |
| | *Zantetsuken is one of the most powerful combo finishers in the game, if not the most powerful. |

| ==Strategy== | | ==Controls== |
| 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.
| | [[Image:Sora_(Limit_Model).png|thumb|The CGI rendered model of Limit Form.]]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. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | It should be noted that all Sora's abilities in Limit Form are stronger than his Kingdom Hearts's incarnation. |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | Sora's finishing moves are very strong in Limit Form. Equip Decisive Pumpkin, Fenrir, and Rumbling Rose while in this form to make Sora a powerhouse. |
|
| |
|
| ==Notes and references== | | == Representation == |
| {{reflist}}
| | This form represents Sora's light: Kairi, and his promise to her; hinting that the promise gives him power to face all the hardships, as commented by Goofy when they were in Castle Oblivion. |
|
| |
|
| | == Trivia == |
| | * This Drive Form is the only one that allows Sora to use his [[Guard]] ability while he has to rely on his [[Reflect]] spell in his other forms (except for Valor and Anti) for defense. |
| | *When using guard, Sora just swings the keyblade upward like in the first game, unlike the new guard, where he spins instead. |
