'''Formchange''' is an [[ability]] first demonstrated in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', before being included as a gameplay mechanic in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''. Formchange allows the user to change their abilities or the form of their [[Keyblade]]. Formchanges are triggered via [[Situation Command]]s after achieving sufficient damage with a Keyblade. Certain Keyblades will also have the ability to Formchange a second time. Formchange is a mechanic that borrows cosmetic and technical concepts from [[Command Style]]s and [[Drive Form]]s both, and allows [[Sora]] to manipulate his Keyblade's form similar to the wielders from ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. While in a Formchange, the user is immune to negative status effects. | '''Formchange''' is an [[ability]] first demonstrated in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', before being included as a gameplay mechanic in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''.

Unlike Drive Forms, Formchanges do not carry over into most cutscenes.<ref>The cutscenes leading into the record player scene at [[Toy Box]], the following events with [[Rapunzel]] and the [[Chaos Carriage]] battle in [[Kingdom of Corona]], and the [[Metal Troll]] and [[Catastrochorus]] battles at [[San Fransokyo]] do display the Formchange in it.</ref> | Activating a Formchange triggers a unique attack depending on the Formchange. By default, [[Second Form]], [[Light Form]], [[Dark Form]], [[Double Form]], and [[Rage Form]] use a Formchange Performance Attack that generates a short-ranged, neutral-element shockwave that instantly triggers the Formchange, whereas all other Formchanges use a Keyblade Transformation Attack that varies depending on the Formchange. Keyblade Transformation Attacks can be disabled in the Options menu; doing so makes all Formchanges use a Formchange Performance Attack. | ||

'''[[Rage Form]]''' allows Sora to channel his [[darkness]] in desperate circumstances. Sora takes on the appearance of a [[Pureblood Heartless]], similar to [[AntiForm]]. It has a chance of being triggered when Sora reaches critical health, regardless of current Keyblade. After using the command [[Riskcharge]], Sora will gain extra strength at the expense of half his current health. | '''[[Rage Form]]''' allows Sora to channel his [[darkness]] in desperate circumstances.
