The Complete Kingdom Hearts 2 Drive Form Breakdown Collection 

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.

Anti Sora when hanging: EVERY SECOND YOUR NOT RUNNING, IM ONLY GETTING CLOSER…

Love the use of Sora's Smash renders for the thumbnail, with just Wisdom Form because Valor Form uses the same pose as regular Sora

During the breakdown for master form, I’ve noticed that he’ll never actually hold the Keyblade in his left hand, he just levitates it constantly, even while swinging it. I realize that this is meant to show that the Keyblade in his left is for casting magic while the one in his right is meant for physical offense

You forgot to mention how each form levels up: Valor - each hit equals 1 exp point Wisdom - take on the heartless Limit - final hit from each limit break equals 1 exp point Master - collect drive gauge restoration orbs (range of 1-3 exp points) Final - take on the nobodies Anti - doesn't level up.

I freaking love how feral anti form is

imagine if KH3 gave you the same drive forms with new moves, distinct keyblade attacks and MASTERED versions where the attacks drastically changed.

I hadn't seen these before but I'm happy to have them now. The anti-form one was especially helpful; I /really/ love anti-form but hadn't had a good idea of what the individual attacks actually were until watching this (it's always felt like one long indistinguishable combo to me).

One defining thing of this series will be the attention to detail when it comes to the animations, unlike a lot of games, the motions feel so fluid and almost natural that you don't realize the complexity of them and how unnatural they really are.

I felt so much Nostalgia watching this. I love the description of how Sora fights and the visual details. I can’t believe that at the time this was on the PS2 of which I can now appreciate the details of it’s combat.

I feel like I need to point out that the extra stats you mentioned in Valor Form are actually coming from the second keyblade you have equipped in that form. The same happens with Master and Final. And also why Wisdom and Limit don't raise stats at all. So Drive forms by themselves don't really boost your stats.

That transition from KH3 sora to KH2 sora was fuckin’ SHARP.

Throughback into nostalgia, the blitzing striker/ the maestro of magic/ he who masters power and wisdom/ power dwells in the hearts/ no limits holding back/ true to its final power C: I love quoting them like poems

Final Form is the dopest shit I’ve seen in KH so far 😮😮

Love how Sora break dances while using Firaga in Final form

This was a surprise. I needed something to binge. Thank you

The forms look amazing in Tron's world. 7:15 - 7:32 Thank you SO MUCH for pointing this out! I never noticed that! 29:55 - 30:00 That's a cool detail.

I never realized how amazing the animations for these forms are! Espeially final!

oh i love how this was the series that i found you just after the final form breakdown had come out... it's been quite long hasn't it..?

man this game just got the combat right. In 1, it feels like you hit too slow, and in 3 the hits are so wide and fast that without watching something like a breakdown (hmmm) it just feels like Sora is flailing. In 2, you hit enough times to combo like crazy but also still be aware of what you're doing.

Keep up the good work loveing it ❤️

with how cool these forms are, it really makes me wish final mix gave us a keyblade with unlimited drive just to mess around with

Awesome!

It always surprises me how much is really going on when you are button mashing to vanquish the Darkness

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.

Loving the videos as always

Thanks for the video Bio! Do you plan on doing a compilation of the kh3 data battle breakdowns?

They really snapped when they made KH2

final foem and anti are sooooo good the combos for anti and the magic in final just use the magic its soo good

Those little boxes you add on the right showing an example of the abilities please my autism in a way words can't describe.

I feel almost confident that fighting bosses add to the Anti form counter. I remember in Beast's Castle when I activated it, and the next time I tried to use a form was against Xaldin less than 10 minutes later, only to get Anti-Sora again.

Looking back at this I’m reminded that anti form actually has a percentage to get it it was so common for me that when I fought data Vexen I didn’t realize that it was being taken from me

Can we take a moment to realize how dope this video is

It’s a bit harder to tell due Twilight Town’s warmer colors overpowering it, but it seems the background once again changes to a specific color whenever you use a Limit Command with Limit Form. It even seems to be the same exact colors too, neat!

i wish anti/rage where normals Form. (even if im the only Person that Like those form)

All the forms feel so awesome to use in their own ways Makes me wish i didn't need allies for most of them, and also wishing i had more drive gauges to enter all of them more often with too lol

21:10 the timing of the Drive activation and the music playing in the background made me hella nostalgic man. Damn you, now I’m gonna play KH2😂

32:44 it's like a dark version of ultra instinct when he attack this way

the wisdom form flame orbs are simple the next level version of magic, they dont exist in lower level spells. so the flame orbs are firaJA rather than firaGA

A small note regarding the Master Form, the animation isn't bugged out. When starting to spin the Keyblade, he rotates his hand to be a bit similar to how Wisdom Form does it. This happens so fast, you'd think that the Keyblade goes through his arm. It's not as fast as Marth's grab in Melee tho lol.

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.

Hmm... Does this mean we'll get a compilation of all the Ultima keyblade guides and a guide to all the dream eaters in DDD? Perhaps even a video on all the 358/2 days characters?

Master form with all your combo plusses has some cool tech of alternating between spell casts and physical attacks. This is most easily done against the grim reaper since blizzard and thunder will stun it briefly.

Great video. What will be your next Complete Breakdom Collection Video?

Ever since 2005, I've been calling Anti Form the "Heartless Form" as it's basically Sora as his Heartless form, and as such, Heartless can't wield true Keyblades, so he is forced to use his claws and instinct as the other Heartless do. Sora, his Nobody Roxas, and his Heartless "Anti Form", all combine to be Sora as he is imo ❤

Another fact: the judgement from strike raid pursuits the locked-in enemy

0:46 In Re:CoM, when Riku enters Dark Mode, it's the same animation, but purple.

Fun Fact: Valor DOES use Magic, it's his finishing combo where he slams into the ground and causes an energy spike to erupt from the ground, knocking back enemies who fail to guard.

Limit Form till this day best Transformation for sora

Also, with Negative Combo + Fenrir, Final Form legit goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

As much as I never use it, Wisdom form looks so sick

Man the special effects in the KH games are second to none

I would have loved it if anti-form was like the other forms, where you could level it up and gaining a growth ability from it.

you think you can do character breakdowns on the wayfinder trio?

i miss these forms and really wish they were in 3..... at least the costumes if nothing else. but i would have liked to see oathkeeper be the drive form keyblade letting you use one of the drives as your form change...

God I love KH2

Valor for was like going Super Saiyan and final was super saiyan 3 or God

0:09 Smooth Transition....

That feeling when you're getting ur qss handed to you by a boss than you go valor form and be like Ohhhhh now we throwing down>>>

Fun fact that I found out about a month ago. If you use final form Fire on armored Xemnas as a finisher, Sora will Teabag him

I think Magic Spice ability unique to Wisdom form changes the finishers of the spells at the end of a combo and makes them bigger and more explosive?

I hope Kingdom Hearts 4 brings back drive forms it's such a cool mechanic formchange in Kingdom Hearts 3 is good but the drive forms hit different.

So what im getting is... Valor = strength Wisdom = magic Master = best of both things Final = god mode Anti = uh oh Limit = i heard u liked kh1

i know this is a old video now, but, about the wing pattern on Sora's Anti Form, doesn't looks like Riku's keyblade? i guess it was the Soul Eater

If I could time travel, I'd go back to 2006 with this video so I could win all those forum arguments. Yeah... kinda petty.

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.

rw:these are usually my fav drive forms.^_^

Also, 15 year old me back in 2005 considered the Forms to be, basically, Sora going Super Saiyan in his own way 😂 It's essentially still the same, especially Valor, Master & Final

I noticed you never mention how to boost the drive forms. Was it one of those things you felt wasn't needed because the game has been around for a long time?

It's really odd that Valor Form doesn't boost just strength and defense, which goody is technically known for....

Has probably be pointed out, but the Anti-Form symbol also shows up on Xemnas unless my eyes deceive me

Here’s to hoping a version of these dope forms will be in kh4 what I would give to see sora swinging key blades without even touching them in unreal engine 5🥵😂

Are you going to make a video for the base combat for kh1,2 and 3 Sora?

Sora used Giga Impact.

Aw I'm sad you didn't mention technical things like fire in certain forms or ars Arcanum not adding revenge value to bosses

Wisdom form got a lot of steez

Also in ps2 versions of kh2 the wisdom form bullets penetrate so fat body heartless dont repel.

Does this thumbnail insinuate that final form is his light form and antiform is dark?

Valor Form: Fun and Addictive Wisdom Form: Good if you want to use magic and stuff Master Form: Ok Final Form: The Best Form Ever Limit Form: Ok Anti Form: The worst as I end up turning into this thing during a boss fight and I always lose thanks to this form.

If Sora kept Drive Forms in KH3, how would it fit with the new battle system?

I got hired a bunch of Marshall set an alarm

Final form will always be best form

Would the magic stat effect Valor Form’s “Brave Shot”?

Imagine the drive forms being redone to include more moves or redone moves with all that was added. Like slightly more mobility and ways that wisdom form shoots out magic shots or anti form using magic and spaawnung clones and chains.

What are Anti points and how do you get them?

I tried the Switch version and the controls are hard to master. Both movement and camera controls feel so oversensitive and no way to change sensitivity. Does the Kingdom Hearts series control better on PS4? I'd try it myself but PS4 has no demo versions to try.

Sora is raw as hell

I really like the KH2 better. It has far more substance (and slightly more style) than KH3.

Wait, you can turn off Goofy and Donald?

I wanna see Sora with a shotgun

Is Final Form in the original kh2? (Not final mix or II.5)

Anti-form is pretty terrible in KH 2, but he'd be a nightmare in Tekken.

why coulndt they just put this in kh3 man...

God i hated anti form it was such a pain in the ass and i absolute hate that it wasted not only my time but the form gage i mean for gods sake the very enemies that you want to use a more powerful and mobile style you get this shit that forces you to stay in close to actually do damage.

I'll be honest, back in the PS2 days when I was a kid, I almost never used Drives unless by accident and didn't use magic outside of Cure. But whenever I DID use Drives, I always hoped for Anti Form. I love the absolute feral savagery of Anti Sora blindly swiping at anything that moved.

Why do the drive form change whi the dude is

Honestly, I prefer the KDH2 combat system rather than KDH3. Sorry fans but I said what I said. 😌

I like to play sora in smash bros but i keep playing sonic why

I feel you focus too much on graphics and not enough on mechanics

Hello I am possibly first cool
