Situation Command: Difference between revisions

{{game|AFP|KH3|3RM}}

'''Situation Commands''' are a gameplay element in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'', replacing [[Reaction Command]]s from previous games. They allow different unique actions to be performed by pressing {{button|t}} in certain contexts. Multiple Situation commands can appear at once, and they can be cycled through with either the the D-pad or with {{button|r2}}

 

Situation Commands can appear in two locations: immediately above the Attack command and above the Command Menu. Non-combat commands, the Finish commands of Formchanges, Links, Team Attacks, and Attractions, and certain context-specific commands appear above the Attack command. Only one of these Situation Commands can appear at a time. The majority of combat-oriented Situation Commands appear above the Command Menu. Up to six of these Situation Commands can appear at once; if a seventh Situation Command becomes available, the oldest one disappears. During the fight against the [[Demon Tide]] in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] in ''Kingdom Hearts III'', up to 17 Situation Commands can appear at once.

 

Combat-based Situation Commands are unlocked through battle performance. Like [[Command Style]]s and {{c|Finish command|bbs}}s from ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', engaging in combat has arrow-shaped markers appear above the Command Menu. These arrows represent a hidden number called the {{nihongo|'''form value'''|フォーム値|fōmu-chi}}, with each arrow corresponding to 25 form value. When the form value reaches 100, the markers are dispensed and Situation Commands appear above the Command Menu, alongside a timer next to them indicating how long the player has until the Command disappears.

 

Hitting enemies increases the form value by a certain amount. This increase is 20% greater if [[Situation Boost]] is equipped. Attacks that hit multiple enemies will add to the form value for each enemy; if multiple enemies are hit in unison, the second enemy will contribute half of the form value as the first, the third enemy half the form value of the second, etc. The form value can also be increased by healing when [[Cure Converter]] is equipped. If the form value does not increase for 20 seconds, it will decrease by 5 every second.

 

The time that a Situation Command is available depends on the type of command and if any boosting abilities are equipped. The timers can be refreshed by re-initiating the Situation Command's trigger. [[Overtime]] can also extend the timers of Situation Commands. Certain special Situation Commands, like [[Trinity Sled]], do not disappear over time.

 

 

When the form value reaches 100, the Formchange Situation Command for the currently equipped Keyblade will always appear under ordinary circumstances. For every magic Situation Command that appears at the same time, the chance of a Formchange Situation Command appearing decreases by 25%. Additionally, if the {{c|Physical|element}} element value is 0 – that is, if no Physical-type attacks contributed to the form value – the Formchange Situation Command will not appear.

 

Magic Situation Commands have additional requirements to appear. Whenever form value is accumulated, an equal amount of {{nihongo|'''element value'''|属性値|zokusei-chi|lit. "attribute value"}} is earned, corresponding to the [[element]] of the attack. When the form value reaches 100, the chance of a magic Situation Command appearing is equal to the element value of the corresponding element as a percentage. Up to three magic Situation Commands can appear at once. The magic Situation Command that appears is one tier higher than the strongest spell of that element used during battle (for example, the [[Firaga]] command will appear if [[Fira]] was cast).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Attraction Situation Commands are activated by hitting enemies with a green Attraction indicator. The process for activating an Attraction Situation Command is independent of the form value and other Situation Commands.
