Something that I didn't realize until watching it all over is that Final Form implements something from each form before while adding on top of it. It has the physical prowess of valor, magical prowess of wisdom, the aerial stylings of master, and the speed of anti form. In fact, Final seems to pull some moves straight from Anti, taking the feral power of it and reigning it in to be far more controlled, especially with the AoE dash finisher and the dive aerial finisher.

I feel like something that was glossed over but still notable is that magic and standard attacks can be linked together in a combo. This means you can use either a magic or a physical finisher regardless of which you were using at the time. This is most notable with Wisdom Form because Shoot allows you to continue you combo at range without Combo Master, and Magic Spice boosts the magic finishers. Otherwise this of course applies to Base and Final form as well. For Master Form using magic doesn't increase the combo counter due to Endless Magic, but you can still chain freely between physical attacks. Also my memory seems to be off but I think Master form is the only one where you can chain magic in the air? I might need to go test that again later. Edit: Wisdom form uses base form's aerial magic so it doesn't chain. Aerial magic in Final Form oddly follows the Master form's rules on Endless Magic while in the air.

Do you do Kingdom Hearts lore? Because if so, can we talk about Sora's Heartless? Because Sora's Heartless is getting *really* strong. He started out as just a lil shadow, with basically no darkness in his heart, and then he was a heartless through the entirety of CoM, and CoM was a really intense game full of emotional torment and blackmail and abuse, and just because Sora can't remember it, doesn't mean the memories and the darkness that filled his heart from that experience went anywhere. The chain was broken, after all, not erased. And then Sora's darkness came back, overtaking his body completely and sending his keyblade fleeing and generally being his most powerful form change in 2 if you enable boss defeats with antiform. And then in 3, it's back and even more powerful and now the keyblade is either willingly working with it or is being forcibly dominated by it so it can whap the crap out some baddies. Can we talk about how Sora's Heartless was never properly reintegrated with Sora and Roxas, and is just constantly present, ready to break out when given the chance throughout 2? Sora's Heartless and Roxas were never destroyed. They didn't come back together like is proper and natural. I don't think Riku and DiZ even noticed what was actually going on. Can we talk about how it and Sora seem to have come to some sort of understanding by 3, since Sora and his darkness are so perfectly in sync he has access to rage mode from nearly the word go and his heartless can just handle his keyblade now? What happened to his heartless in DDD, another dark game full of villians darkening Sora's heart? Did the possession of Xehanort force an internal reckoning between Sora and his darkness? Or did the darkness just learn better control from Xehanort, allowing it to use Sora's keyblade? Can we talk about how the only character to ever directly address Sora's wild and untamed beastial darkness mode is Xehanort, and only by stealing Sora's light in a boss fight? Why doesn't Riku, the one perpetually walking the path to dawn, ever address Sora about this? "Hey, Sora, I noticed while we were busting down Xemnas's front door, you turned into a Heartless a few times." "Hey, Sora, while we were trying to save Aqua, you turned into a Heartless a few times, what's up with that?" Can we talk about Sora's heart being so good and pure that even when his darkness consumes it, it wants nothing more than to protect his freinds? Sora's shadow hunted down Kairi just to make sure she escaped Hollow Bastion safely. Antiform never harms a freind. Rage mode is never a threat to the warriors of light. Please, someone needs to talk about this because it drives me mad whenever antiform and rage form come up.

Sora, his Nobody Roxas, and his Heartless "Anti Form", all combine to be Sora as he is imo ❤

@@DZlegend Personally I would have the Drive Forms be Situation Commands to help fit the KH3 battle system. The drive forms would be a series of transformations similar to how Light/Dark Form evolves to Double Form. I would be excluding Limit Form because most of its elements have been incorporated into Second Form. Speaking of, 2nd form would’ve been Sora’s base form but more powerful. I’m also excluding Anti-Form as it would be seen as a liability for Sora. The Drive Forms would be triggered by hitting markers on enemies similar to those for activating Attraction Flow. Either Valor or Wisdom form being activated depending on if you attack or use magic on the enemy. Once you go to either Valor or Wisdom and fill up the Situation gauge, you go on to Master form and then to Final form. In simple terms: Valor/Wisdom -> Master -> Final Form

Some Attacks are Magic based and get a boost from the Magic stat. For example: Explosion got's stronger from the magic stat even if it is a combo finisher. I guess at least the ground finisher of the Valor form where you shoot light attacks before you could be magic based and so it would make sense that the magic stat goes up even if you can't cast magic in this form. I don't know how high up your stats was when you testet the Wisdom Form but there are Defense Barrieres which don't allow to do more damage until you hit a certain Stat level. Since your recording in the video showed the cave of remembering it could be that your stats were to low for this region.
