KINGDOM HEARTS III Another Road Young Xehanort mod Showcase 3 (Terranort formchange)

You know the drill, stuff you see in my showcases is not necessarily how its gonna look on release but it will give you an idea.
Damage values in particular are not balanced yet for this form but other than that I hope you enjoy :)
This is the first of 2 forms for the Gazing Eye/No Name key and the second one will take a little longer so pls bear with me :P

[@emangillespie]

I love how it looks like Ansem is training young Xehanort in the ways of the Gazing Eye

[@GordieKat]

I'm noticing several things, like the new Young Xehanort themed Situation Command bar. Very cool! Also you managed to make the combo animation change and the dodge animation too just by holding a different Keyblade?

[@therecusant]

yeah its been a thing :D discount has been doing it for a while for xion

[@SpiderTrickster]

Oooooo snap! That's Terra's BBS guard and counter hammer right there! Amazing work man you did so much in so little time super hyped for that Edit: HOLY SHRIMP you were able to utilize the guardian further!??? I thought this was off limits for modders Incredible work

[@therecusant]

Yea it’s been a journey but with every mod the guardian gets better :D

[@X_Nexus]

Wow!!! I’m loving the creativity you have here! I especially liked how you summoned the Guardian. It looked polished and super useful for battles. Keep up the great work!

[@LunarMelodia]

The form being called "Dismiss" (i think) is so freaking clever oh my gosh I love it

[@neoharmoniagropius1426]

Mysterious Figure when decided stole Terra power at Land of Departure

[@Jamo3K]

I can definitely see the inspiration for this key blade/form style coming from both the Tera nod and Tera-nought Bossfight, I do think as part of the dodger role, maybe making the shadow on the ground more pronounced, kind of like the talk form, dodge, but mixed with the Necro, Shadow heartless, because I could see people getting confused and disorientated when using that Dodge, but otherwise looks awesome, and the way the Guardian is implemented is amazing, and it is such a unique way to introduce a summon without it, being an actual summon, it keeps the flow in combat better this way I think, otherwise amazing job guys as always 💚

[@theoneandonlyme9731]

If I may make a few predictions for future form changes -Vanitas -Xemnas -Ansem SoD -Xigbar -Master’s Defender (Eraqus) -Soul Eater (Dark Riku) -X-Blade (Master Xehanort)

[@crazychristyler714]

really nice touch with the purple fx applying to his attack skillset. Honestly, it's really enjoyable to see frequent updates on how the development goes on a mod like this. Also the fact that that these new skills (Hold Guard) which, I think I'll call em EX skills is really interesting! Just gives an overall new spin in how a modded character plays entirely while being balanced whether you wanna choose either shotlock or EX move. Also, one other thing, I bet it really was fun doin' a terra moveset on this formchange like sayin hi to an old friend.

[@therecusant]

More like „damn there’s a lot I need to redo for terra“ 😅

[@crazychristyler714]

@@therecusant Ah the tried and true artistic motivations of 'This should look better with what I know now.' It's most certainly a relatable feeling and its awesome to see it flourish here.

[@NineTailedNaruto98]

Absolutely amazing work as always man I can't wait to see what else you got for us in the next update :)

[@RandomLap]

Guardian being able to do that is so freaking good, I am already amazed by MF form able to summon the orbs, but this is overkill.

[@RandomLap]

Quick dark volley is so good too, along with sonic impact/dodge being like in BBS

[@TALESFREAK]

I'm really excited to see what the next form will look like

[@NeroDeAngelo]

OMG that is so freaking hype man! I can't believe modding got so far O_O What dark Ritual did you have to commit in order to be allowed to mod the game so hard? xD Also, did I see the actual BBS Animation for Ars Solum or did my eyes deceive me? Because I'll be honest, I prefer the BBS Animation over the KHIII one (and it has more hits too!)! Damn, That makes Terras Dark Form you created pale in comparison! (please don't get it the wrong way: I LOVE your Terra Mod to DEATH, and it is freaking great =D But who could imagine you could stuff like what you are showing here back then? It is incredible how far you got, especially with the guardian stuff, and the Keyblades having individual move variations even in base form!)

[@therecusant]

Yeah I just didn’t have the knowledge nor the tools back then unfortunately 😅 And yes, you did see the bbs ars solum. The long one will play if you let it play out but it will be the regular short one if you cancel into the next move midway by pressing the attack button early

[@NeroDeAngelo]

@@therecusant Oooooh, that is sick =O I can't wait to try that someday out =D

[@sleepyman2324]

I might be late to the party, but every second of this video impressed me more than everything else in my entire live, i really need this. People like you and your mods are the reason why i bought the game for pc again, while having it on ps4 100% completed, thank you for your work.

[@therecusant]

More than anything else in your life ? 😂 I take that as a great compliment so thank you ! 😄

[@heart3460]

I really like this. At first I wasn't sure of the BBS inspired move set, but then it clicked that BBS is our first introduction to Gazing Eye and Xehanort proper. I love what you're doing with the Focus gauge for these Keyblades. I wish KH3 had done stuff like this. Guardian has always been one of my fave things about the Norts since I was a kid. Maybe Guardian could be in front of the dashes? Your work is meaningfully creative, if that makes sense. I know in the comments below you were mentioning going back for Terra Guardian and I would love if you did.

@@MrPuzzles you guys are legends.

[@helix_9645]

How broken/feasible would it be to make all the "-za" situation commands his Ice summoning attack? (I mean: When YX uses firaza, for example, he does his animation where he summons 9 icicles - Fire projectiles in this case - and launches them towards the enemy). Also, a small suggestion: how about calling the "??? form", "Vessel No.13" or "13th Vessel"? Just an idea. Keep up the good work, with Ansem's guardian these mods are getting crazier!

[@therecusant]

Not so much broken as it would be a waste imo. I do plan on doing it but I don’t know how exactly yet since the animation for it is kinda long

[@helix_9645]

@@therecusant I'm not an expert in modding (as you may have already realized 😅), maybe you could give him Invincibility frames during its animation, or speed it up? Either way, I'm excited about the future updates! Thanks for the claification!

[@Ethonra]

Awesome. Terranort is one of my favorite characters. I greatly appreciate you using this version of Dismiss. It's KH3 version is literally the only music that I felt got downgraded while the others improved. Seriously, compare BBS Dismiss to KH3 Dismiss. Then Compare Re:CoM Lord of the Castle to KH3 Lord of the Castle. You'll see my point immediately.

[@therecusant]

Fully agree 😄

[@arturoayala1004]

I kinda wish you can also add some attacks from the BBS fight, mainly the diving shadow attack Terranort had in the battle. (As well also Terranort's ability to cloak the arena in pure darkness too.)

[@therecusant]

I will add that at some point !

[@snickey3483]

I would just love to see KH3’s modding scene have enough quality character mods like this to where you can replay the whole game many times over, Including modded Sora, And have it feel somewhat fresh and satisfying each run. Because that will end up making this game unforgettable and legendary in my eyes till the day KH as a franchise ends DESPITE me not really super enjoying the base game (Though the gameplay grew on me a bit). I think its especially fun for me because it feels like Nomura’s extra-ness and flair has passed onto many of us along with a deep rooted nostalgia, and to me? Those who make mods like this wether its for KH2 or KH3 are using that nostalgia in a way that creates something awesome and new. Nostalgia is typically a very dangerous thing and has caused a lot of blind thoughts and negative things… So I find it beautiful almost to see somewhere the light can be found in the darkness, If you catch my drift. I wrote this at first wanting to just make a comment asking you if your going to continue modding the game after this but well… 😅 I don’t know lately after seeing all these amazing passion projects with 500+ hours of work and sometimes even teams and a community that seems to be helping one another to create more cool shit… I guess I just kinda wanted to write something to them all, Not that I’m sending this out to every mod creator for the KH games that I can think of but ya know, Half for me half for you? I dunno help me out here on the contract. “When you make connections with others you reach your true potential” or whatever Nomura said about Sora’s character in that one interview.

[@therecusant]

3 will definitely be remembered by me for its mods at the very least. My only hope for the future is that Kingdom Hearts games will keep releasing on PC so people can mod them 😅

[@abcdefg98765]

[@silverwalker2934]

[@michaellevin664]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but MF's saber and YX's own key are over Kingdom Key, and probably Starlight, yeah? Second Form and all it's variants call back to the same thing except Second Form S, which has the Ancient Light finisher instead of Ars Arcanum. Gazing Eye can then be on many different Keyblades, but I'm suspecting Oathkeeper/Oblivion.

[@therecusant]

YX key is kingdom key. MF is elemental encoder. Gazing is over oblivion. Anyway those second form limits do not apply nowadays. Any form can use different animations from one another . Even different base forms based on the equipped keyblade

[@michaellevin664]

@@therecusant I just figured I'd ask, but what little I know came from console modding. So, like, going into Nano Arms then Second Form ends up combining the two somehow. I don't know anything of actual modding on PC and I admit such. Still, 2 out of 3 isn't bad at all.
