Breakdown: Light, Dark, and Double Form ~ Kingdom Hearts 3 Analysis

I like how much Rage Form and Dark Form contrasts each other, Rage Form being the wilder, aggressive formchange represented by the color red, Sora’s color, while Dark Form is the calmer, more controlled formchange represented by the color blue, Riku’s color.

Oathkeeper, Oblivion, and Ultima. Rip anything that cross Sora

Unpopular opinion: Double form should have been called Twilight form You know what nvm this is now a popular opinion thanks guys lmao

Sora: so basically, I'm Roxas now

15:22 look closely and you can see the yin yang being formed in that burst of light

6:53 holy crap, that transition between the two shot-locks is amazing man. Also i think the idle animation of Double Form where he spins the keyblades looks very similar to the "Dual Wield Introduction" move Roxas does when he fights Axel in KH2 and when he fights Riku in Days. He'll pull the two keyblades out of his "pockets", swirl them around, have them clash and then pull them back into his combat stance. What Sora does looks very similar. And his Finisher looks a lot like the Limit Attack first stage of Dual Wielding Roxas in Days, just with a lot more pillars and light and dark mixed.

Few more things: Light Form’s second combo finisher is similar to Roxas’s initial Final Limit in 358/2 Days where he summons multiple pillars of light with the Nobody symbol on top that radiate outwards. Also, Double Form’s Finish command actually does resemble Dual-wield Roxas’s desperation move, Miracle Hour, only instead of his KH2FM version, it takes more cues from his 358/2 Days version, where he summons multiple large pillars of light that strike the area.

12:20 That attack reminds me of one of Valor Forms ground finishers

The way he dodges in double form caught me off guard when I first used it. I wasn’t expecting him to be so fast and sudden.

I love how they incorporate a lot of Roxas' style in these forms, it feels like Sora is adapting what he learned.

Everyone that likes Kingdom Hearts before the DLC release: "We want oblivion and oathkeeper keyblades! We want a dual wielding keyblade form!" Square Enix: "OK, but you gotta beat critical mode to get the thing you wanted!"

Imagine having these three equipped: Oathkeeper Oblivion Ultima weapon And you manage to activate 2 double forms + Ultima form.

When Sora gains both Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Sora: Welcome back boys! Time to slay some enemies just like old times! Roxas: Hey those are mine! Sora: they're mine first! Don't you have Two become one! Roxas: Oh! RIght!

I really wish that formchange extender actually extended the form changes. I find it incredibly annoying how short their duration is and how you're encouraged to store them constantly.

15:20 The attack might be moreso referencing his Magic Hour limit attack from Days and Re:Coded.

My first reaction upon seeing the Double Form, ahem; DDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The attacks of these Two forms are like a mix of Roxas' and Sora's Attacks Also the speed of all 3 forms are f**** insane Also During Double Forms Finisher Forms a ☯ symbol for the perfect balance of Light and Darkness.

"How I've waited for this moment." Thank you for this breakdown ! Really dig all the similarities with (Bio-)Roxas 👌🏽👍🏽.

So there are a couple of similar animations that I missed! Here is a breakdown+ covering all of them: https://youtu.be/l0VDpAGmXGU
