{{nihongo|'''Limit Form'''|リミットフォーム|Rimitto Fōmu}} is the exclusive [[Drive Form]] only in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. Sora's clothes change to the colors of his original clothes in ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]''. The form lets Sora use abilities from ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'', such as Dodge Roll and Zantetsuken. It is symbolized by a red crown (similar in appearance to [[Sora]]'s necklace). Similar to Master Form, it consumes four Drive Bars and it can also be used by Sora without giving up one of your partners.

{{nihongo|'''Limit Form'''|リミットフォーム|Rimitto Fōmu}} is a [[Drive Form]] which appears in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''. It uses neither of your team members, and consumes four of Sora's Drive Bars. It represents Sora's past<ref>'''Yen Sid's mirror''': "An image of using the Keyblade as you once did flows into your mind." </ref>, and is obtained along with the Oathkeeper at [[Twilight Town]], after Sora learns about Kairi's abduction.

==Obtaining Limit Form==
==Appearance==
This form is obtained when Sora visits [[Twilight Town]] for a second time and after Sora learns the abduction of [[Kairi]] by [[Axel]]. It is received with the Oathkeeper, but neither can be used until the player visits another world after leaving Twilight Town.
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.

==Leveling Up==
Limit Form gains experience points by properly executing the final reaction command in Sora's limits (by pressing {{Button|t}}). Upon reaching level 2 in Limit Form, Sora is rewarded with the Auto-Limit ability. At levels 3, 5, and 7, Sora gains Dodge Roll levels 1, 2, and 3, respectively. At Limit Form's level 4, Sora gets Draw, and at level 6, Sora gains another Lucky Lucky ability.


As this form is exclusive to ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', it is recommended to make use of all the additions that are exclusive to ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'' to level up Limit Form: the best places to level up are in the [[Cavern of Remembrance]], where there is an abundance of Heartless, and in the '''Treasure Room''' in [[Agrabah]], where [[Mushroom XIII#No. 5|Mushroom No. 5]] can be found. The latter is recommended as the player has the benefit of a nearby Save Point, and can always use it to return to the World Map if Sora's Drive Gauge is low.
*'''[[Timeless River]]:''' Sora's health icon gains a purple tint.
*'''[[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.


Another good way to level up this form is to go to the '''Altar of Naught''' if the player has unlocked the battle against Xemnas' Final Form. Exiting the '''Altar of Naught''' will lead to '''Ruin and Creation's Passage'''. By using Limit Form when the Nobodies, many of whom are [[Berserker|Berserkers]], appear, Limits can be used until all Nobodies in the top area leading to the '''Altar of Naught''' are defeated, or the [[MP]] gauge runs out. Entering the '''Altar of Naught''' will immediately fill up the [[Drive Gauge]], and the player can repeat this for a simple way to level up Limit Form.

==Abilities==
==Abilities==
Sora's magic is replaced by four Limits in this form. Unlike the other Limits in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Limits used in this form do not cost all of Sora's MP. Press {{Button|t}} to complete each respective Reaction Command.
It is impossible to use the Magic command in this form as all of Sora's spells have been replaced by these four limits. If a spell is set in the shortcut menu by Customize, then the Limits are also usable from the Shortcut menu. However, this feature is disabled if an item set to a button with a shortcut: for example, if a potion is set to the {{Button|c}} shortcut, then Sonic Blade can not be used through the shortcut menu.
Sora gains the Dodge Roll growth ability in this form, the same ability from the original Kingdom Hearts. Similar to ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'', Sora is invincible while using Dodge Roll.

==Tips==
{{section-stub}}


----
==Notes and References==
'''Pros'''
{{reflist|1}}
*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 {{Button|t}}.
*Zantetsuken is one of the most powerful combo finishers in the game, if not the most powerful.
 
'''Cons'''
*Similar to Valor Form, magic commands are sealed. So Sora relies on Potions and allies to heal him during MP Charge (no MP for limits to restore HP with HP Gain).
*Ragnarok requires precise timing in order to deal maximum damage, which is similar to it's effect in ''Kingdom Hearts''.
 
==Controls==
Even though both Quick Run and Dodge Roll require the player to use {{Button|s}}, equipping both of the Growth Abilities during Sora's normal state will allow the use of each individual ability by pressing the said button differently: a Dodge Roll can be performed by quickly tapping {{Button|s}}, and a Quick Run requires {{Button|s}} to be held slightly longer than for Dodge Roll.
 
It should be noted that all Sora's abilities in Limit Form are far stronger than his ''Kingdom Hearts'' incarnation.
 
Sora's finishing moves are also very strong in Limit Form. Equip [[Decisive Pumpkin]], [[Fenrir]], [[Guardian Soul]], [[Oblivion]], [[Ultima Weapon]]&nbsp;or [[Rumbling Rose]] while in this form to use Sora a powerhouse character.
 
==Representation==
This form represents Sora's promises to Kairi, including always protecting her and never changing, and his ability to infuse the Keyblade with magic.
 
==Mirror Description==
In [[Yen Sid]]'s tower, Limit Form's mirror in ''Final Mix'' says, "An image of using the Keyblade as you once did flows into your mind."
 
==Appearance==
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.
