Final Form is one of Sora's Drive Forms from Kingdom Hearts II.
How to obtain
Sora's Final Form is earned a little differently compared to the others, as it first occurs randomly when Sora turns into a Drive Form after defeating Roxas in a cutscene near the beginning of the World that Never Was. The precise mechanism is that when a Drive results in the Anti Form, there is a chance that Final Form appears instead. Consecutive Anti Form appearances after the encounter with Roxas eventually result in a 100% chance that the next Anti Form will be replaced by Final Form. Incidentally, a bit of luck (or planning) can result in the 10x Anti Form appearance chance in battles against agents of the Organization XIII being to the player's advantage, by increasing the chance of triggering Final Form during these battles.
But getting it on your drive list is a bit tricky. Not too far into the Castle That Never Was is an area called Twilight's View, which contains a save point. If the player enters this area before defeating Xigbar, any Drive Form they are in will be reverted and their Drive Gauge replenished. Thus, the best way to activate Final Form is to go to the room prior, Crooked Ascension, and enter a Drive Form. If Final Form doesn't activate, the player can simply return to Twilight's View to restore their Gauge. This can be repeated over and over until Final Form activates, as long as the player does not defeat Xigbar in the next room - appropriately enough, during the fight with him there is a 10x chance of entering Anti Form. Crooked Ascension also respawns Nobodies, if the player wishes to level up Final Form at the same time as acquiring it.
The easiest way to get this form is to go to Olympus Coliseum, and go to the arena and play the Cerberus Cup (the only one where you can use forms).
You can go into any Drive Form and see if you get the Final Form. If you get the Form exit the tournament and you will have it in your Drive menu. If you didn't get it press start select try again and repeat it until you get it It may take a while but it's the easiest and shortest way to get it.
Battle Information
Similar to Sora's Master Form and Valor Form, his Final Form wields two Keyblades. His Final Form constantly hovers above the ground. It appears to be an amplified version of Master Form, with both powerful melee attacks and magic spells. Both of his Keyblades float along with him, and he commands them to attack with his mind. The keyblades will strike when Sora jumps or glides as well, making most of his actions effectively attacks.
Final Form gains experience only with the destruction of Nobodies. So for Sora to build it up may be difficult, though easy spots tend to be found in the World that Never Was and Twilight Town. An exceptionally good area to level it up in the World that Never Was is in Naught's Skyway, since there is an abundance of Creeper Nobodies.
Other information
Though turning into Final Form is completely random at first, once obtained it may be used like any other form. Sora's clothes in this form are white/silver and black, with the symbols on his pants somewhat resembling an eye with a wind pattern. Each keyblade seems to move with an arm, though when Sora stops moving they hover behind him. His combos unleash numerous blows as the keyblades spin and twirl dealing "grinding" damage.

Pros
- Great enhancements in speed.
- Fast combos and high damage dealer.
- Allows actions to be executed while moving.
- Great enhancements in overall stats.
Cons
- Attacks involve multiple slashes and take time to execute; they cannot be canceled in mid-swing.
- Leveling up can be difficult when EXP is only gained by killing Nobodies.
- Both partners are taken for this drive.
Helpful hints
- In order to gain quick EXP's for Final Form, simply form change in the Brink of Despair, and go throughout the levels in the Castle that Never Was, go to the Save Point to restore Sora's HP and MP, and return to fight with his normal form until he regains at least five Drive Gauges.
- Alternatively, make use of the fact that entering a room where Drives are disabled (such as the Altar of Naught after the Xemnas first battle) or using a Save Point to teleport to the Gummi Ship while in a Drive Form automatically reverts Sora but completely replenishes his Drive Gauge. Simply activate the form, gain some experience, then nip back to the nearest Save Point before the Form expires. The two Form Boost abilities (which are learned, somewhat ironically, from leveling up Final Form) and the Oathkeeper Keyblade help. Incidentally, this method applies equally to all other forms.
- Another alternative is to run down Yen Sid's tower slaying Nobodies, and when reaching the bottom going to the Gummi ship to regain full drive then repeating.
Trivia
- In Halloween Town, Sora's mask transforms into a crown when in Final Form.
- It can only be acquired after the cutscene where Sora meets Roxas.
- The color scheme of Final Form is white, black and silver, which is also the color scheme for the Nobodies.
- When fighting Roxas in Final Mix+, his fighting style is similar to that of Final Form.
