Antiform | Antiform bears a strong resemblance to the [[AntiSora]] [[Heartless]] from ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''. It transforms Sora's clothes black with blue accents while his skin and hair become ink-black, his eyes glow yellow like a Heartless's, and he constantly emits misty black and violet wisps of darkness from his arms and back. In this form, Sora runs on all fours and forgoes using the [[Keyblade]] in favor of attacking with claws on his hands. | ||
According to Tetsuya Nomura in an interview with ''{{w|Famitsu}}'', Sora can access this form due to his brief time as a [[Sora's Heartless|Shadow]].{{?}}<!--cite to journal--><ref name="Famitsu">'''''Famitsu'' Interview'''; '''Interviewer''': "Is Antiform originated from when Sora got turned into a Heartless?" / ''' Tetsuya Nomura''': "Story-wise, yes. Drives are very strong so Antiform exists as a side-effect of using too much power. System-wise, I wanted to create something strong but troublesome." [https://www.khinsider.com/news/Famitsu-2006-Nomura-Interview-2569 Translation by KHInsider].</ref> | |||

Unlike other Drive Forms, Antiform cannot be purposefully activated. Instead, it will be randomly activated when Sora attempts to enter [[Valor Form]], [[Wisdom Form]], [[Limit Form]], or [[Master Form]] while in combat, based on a hidden "Anti Point" counter. This counter is increased by 1 every time Valor, Wisdom, Limit, or Master Form is activated, but is reduced by 10 when [[Final Form]] is used. Gameplay-wise, Antiform exists as a consequence of abusing the Drive system, and it is meant to be "strong but troublesome".<ref name="Famitsu"/> | Unlike other Drive Forms, Antiform cannot be purposefully activated.

It is impossible for Sora to enter Antiform while an unconscious ally is on the field, if he is alone (outside of cups where all forms are allowed), or if he is trying to change to Final Form. | ||

In addition, though Drive Forms normally persist through cutscenes and [[Olympus Coliseum|Cup seeds]], Antiform will instead revert to Standard Form. | ||

Furthermore, Sora cannot pick up [[HP]] Orbs while in Antiform (unless an event or boss battle ends where all prizes get auto-collected), meaning he is completely unable to heal in any way. Although Sora moves at twice his normal speed while in Antiform, he takes 50% more damage from attacks, and he does not gain [[experience]] from defeated enemies. Most of the Reaction Commands become unusable. | ||

Unlike other Forms, Antiform automatically reverts to Standard Form when Sora moves to another room, emptying the Drive Gauge. However, if the room is a World Exit or one where [[party members]] are walking around, it will refill as normal. Because of this, the [[Brink of Despair]] can be used to easily recharge the Drive Gauge immediately after defeating [[Roxas]], allowing the player to repeatedly activate Drive Forms with [[Light & Dark]] equipped in order to unlock [[Final Form]]. | Unlike other Forms, Antiform automatically reverts to Standard Form when Sora moves to another room, emptying the Drive Gauge.
