Kingdom Hearts 2 DRIVE question (SPOILERS?)

[the_coldest_sun]

Okay, so ever since I aqcuired the Wisdom Drive transformation, I haven't been able to choose the Valor Drive form anymore... what gives? I've only been able to level up once in my Valor form before I got the Wisdom form. What am I doing wrong? I want my Valor form back! I want my double Keyblades! HEELP!!

[the_coldest_sun]

OKAY, NEVERMIND!! I just realized it has to do with my party configuration. I'm used to having Donald and a world character always in my party, and leaving Goofy out. Having Donald in my party unlocks the Wisdom form, while having Googy in my party unlocks my Valor form. I get it now!!

Keep in mind that for the Master Form you'll eventually get you have to have both Donald and Goofy available;

If you get the Final Form, you just need to have 2 active party members, but it doesn't matter if they're Donald, Goofy, or the level character.

Thats what I thought but I believe I was able to transform into Master form using a world character. Weird. I'll have to test that to be sure.

[Robotech Master]

eh, maybe. I stopped using world characters during my multiple visits to the different worlds. My characters had all become powerful enough to deal with the enemies without any need for the world characters (I was leveling up to take down Sephiroth and the Hades Paradox cup after all). The only world character I repeatedly used was Riku in the World that Never Was, so that's how I know the Final Form can be used with anyone.

Pretty much my strategy.

Ramping up the drives was fun.

i just hate it when sora turns into that black heartless/evangelion form. can't use a potion or jack. just pure attacks.

[Robotech Master]

The Anti-Sora form is a result of accumulating negative points which you can't see. As your negative points increase the % chance of you turning into Anti-Sora when you attempt a Drive change will increase as well. Turning into Anti-Sora decreases your negative points slightly. Turning into Final Form decreases your negative points by like 10. If you repeatedly turn into Final Form, then you should be good for 3-4 Drive changes into Valor, Wisdom, or Master without having to worry too much about the dark form.

Please tell me how i CAN use Sora's anti form. I would like to use it a lot. I like it and was only able to once or twice before in holloween town.:evilsmile

I believe Sora's negative points increase slightly with every Drive Transformation except for Final Form (Which decreases the negative points). Your points also increase more, IIRC, every time your party members get KO'd. As the negative points rise, the percent chance of your turning into Anti-Sora when you attempt a Drive increases, and inevitably it will happen.

I can't imagine why you'd actually *want* the anti-sora form. Maybe the fact that you've only seen it once or twice is the reason why you haven't learned of its deficiencies. When you first see it you think its badass, because its the fastest form and you can do all these really crazy combos.

What you learn later on though, is that its the weakest form, that you take double damage while in the form, can't cast magic, can't pull out of the form early, and lose all of your drive meters at the end of it. All things considered, Anti-Sora just plain sucks. The speed is a nice thing, but once you get Final Form I seriously question why you would ever need any other form again (except maybe Wisdom if what you needed at the moment was a long range magic assault).

Well, Anti-Form *is* supposed to be a penalty for both spamming the drive forms and for not taking care of your teammates.

The added speed and increased combos is merely just to stave off death just a *little* longer :)

thank you for your help, you are correct about why i want to know how to use it. I only saw it once and it was not intentionally and it also was in halloween town so i thought that it was supposed to do that till i tried again.

[dragonlord]

Well i guess if i want to use it more i might want to ko donald and goofy alot more. lol. I just wanted to know so i could get a better look at it and use it also. when i got it i did really good with it. probably as good as final form if that but i still did good with it.
