fIn the description, you can find every new addition from the latest version beside the tags
and



• There are two main download choices. The all-in-one version is the easiest to use and the one you'll probably want though.
Spoiler:  
Show
The separate version gives you more flexibility if you're looking to use (or rather, not use) very specific content from this mod. However, you need to know what you're doing. Some paks are vital for the proper functioning of the mod: remove them and you'll severely break the mod! They are AEO_ZZZ_IMPORTANT_AnimationData and AEO_ZZZ_IMPORTANT_SoraAttackData

• You need to install this mod manually.
Spoiler:  
Show
If you're not too sure of what to do, go to where KH3 is installed (most likely in Program Files) and create a folder called "~mods" inside the Paks folder. The full directory would be C:\Program Files\Epic Games\KH_3\KINGDOM HEARTS III\Content\Paks\~mods.

• If you're using the all-in-one download, extract the zip and put the pak file inside the ~mods folder.
• If you're using the separate version, after extracting the zip you'll end up with a zzzAnimationEnhancementOverhaul folder, which is the one you need to put inside ~mods (not just its contents; the whole folder).

• About mod conflicts, you should not use other moveset/attack/animation, character and weapon swap mods, as well as large overhauls like Light vs Darkness, ReStyle or Project Equinox.
Spoiler:  
Show
This mod is too large to take other mods into account anymore. Generally speaking, you will not want to use other mods editing:

• Sora’s and other characters' attack data table 
• Sora's, Aqua's and Roxas' combat animations
• Sora's pawn base file
• Sora's keyblade base file
• Sora's animsets
• Sora's equip files
• Sora's wep files
• Sora's projectile files
• Sora's stylepawn files
• The kh3_system.locres file
• The TresCmdData file

Weapon swap mods for the following Keyblades are NOT admitted: Hero's Origin, Starlight, Elemental Encoder, Oathkeeper, Oblivion, Roxas' Oblivion & Oathkeeper. Neither are weapon swaps for the following Formchange weapons: Magic Launcher, Mirage Staff, Blizzard Blades, Counter Shield, Hunny Launcher, Clock Drill, Grand Chef, Ultimate Form Rainbow Sword.

MAKE SURE NO OTHER MODS ARE AFTER IT ALPHABETICALLY, because that's bound to create conflicts that might break my mod!

• Lastly, as explained below, there is a Modloader requirement if you want Double Form OKP & OBV to fully work. Simply install it, open it with F1 (or fn+F1 if using a Spanish keyboard) and type both "DFOKP" and "DFOBV" (without quotations).
Spoiler:  
Show
The optional PermaLightBeamBarrage pak NO LONGER USES Modloader: unload the DFOKP and DFOBV mods!


Recommended mods: fully compatible and advised to use in unison are:
• Improved Movement: Value Edits (for instant Keyblade switch & no Air Slide cooldown; Glide speed I've already set up so it shouldn't be further modified)
• Everything is Battle LV 99 (AEO is FULLY balanced around UNEQUIPPING Combo Boost/Air Combo Boost/Magic Galvanizer. If you're still using them, this new challenge will level the playing field)
• New KH3 Sora Battle Quotes (might as well accompany a gameplay overhaul with a voiceset overhaul!)


To start off, why not watch this short trailer to get a general feel for the mod? First impressions are important!


That said, if you want to truly understand just how vast scope of the mod is, below is an exhaustive breakdown of its contents. You might want to notice how I will color-code the different abilities according to how the game would designate them as! The purple Special Category often corresponds with miscellaneous changes that can't really be classified as abilities per se.

Before delving into anything else, let's first overview the key changes affecting gameplay in all levels.

Attack Data Overhaul: explore an immensely wide range of meticulously fine-tuned parameters for the majority of attacks in the game. Viability against all Data Bosses is crucial!
Spoiler:  
Show
Available for:
• [⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤] Base Sora & Every Formchange
• [⬤] Every playable character

This section is simply too extensive to elaborate for each Formchange section. Let's delve into the nature of these changes in a general line!
• Enemy knockback is mostly overhauled for nearly EVERY combo in the game to guarantee sufficient stunlock time and avoid frame traps (i.e. going from any transform animation, Combo Finisher or Finish Command into a new Combo is safer than ever) as well as whiffing (Ultimate Form Dual Discs attack; Aqua's and Kairi's Combo Finishers; Finish Commands of Nano Arms, Ultimate Form, Spellweaver, etc etc).
• Grounded combat has been increased, with many attacks no longer taking enemies into the air nearly as much (e.g. Speed Slash, Block Reprisals)
• Staggering properties are fully granted to Double Arrowguns and Hunny Blasters, as well as all Shotlocks (before, they... did NOT stagger bosses at all)

This said, let's also take a moment to note what is BARELY or NOT changed!
• Revenge Value adjustments are scarce. A couple examples: slightly reduced RV in Shotlocks, slightly reduced RV in Aqua's combos, slightly increased RV in Spellweaver combos, halved RV on Roxas' spinning attack. There are also some situations where overall RV is not changed, but it's all redistributed to the last hit of multi-hit attacks (like Kairi's Combo Finishers, avoiding untimely Boss breakouts)
• Power adjustments are few and far between; the power scaling from Vanilla is mostly unchanged. Two exceptions are Avatar Barrage Combo Finisher (now buffed) and Wrathful Fists & Flurry (now nerfed)
• Situation gauge points are pretty much conserved as well. Only notable Vanilla change is Magic now gaining significantly more points for all characters except Sora, as well as my Full Situation Boost ability for Sora (see more below)
• Affinity changes are very uncommon, only when they make more sense. Some examples: Storm Flag Finish now deals Water damage, some Rage Form attacks now deal Dark damage
• Etc.

I've also adjusted these parameters for all of my custom attacks taking careful balancing into account.

Cancel windows: these are improved for a very significant number of sluggish animations.
Spoiler:  
Show
Available for:
• [⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤⬤] Base Sora & Every Formchange

Again, a very long change. But let this NOT go unnoticed: in Vanilla, with some Forms it was NOT possible to perform a full combo without humanoid Bosses escaping due to their sheer slowness. Now, however, all combos should flow optimally! I'll name a few examples:
• Base Sora's air frontflip attack
• Back and Forth Downswing and Flying Clobber (the air-to-ground attack) from the Hammer Forms
• Under Rush, Rush Upper, Falling Thrust and Swoop Rush (air-to-ground) from the Drill Forms
• Advance 4 Consecutive Diagonal Swings (attack prior to Combo Finisher), Rising Upswings and Falling Downswing from the Claws Forms
• Golden Rays (attack prior to Combo Finisher) from Mirage Staff
• All animations playing when Sora receives damage during some Forms (e.g. the Hammer or Drill Forms) can now be quickly cancelled, exactly like those of base Sora can (why this was not a thing before, I will never know)
• All Counter Shield & Frying Pan guard animations have also been given cancel windows identical to base Sora’s, granting enough freedom to escape unblockables mid-combo (this comes with a caveat, however. Go to "Known Issues" to read more). Remember that Wrathful Fists & Flurry are only half as powerful in exchange!

• Etc etc.

Cinematic cams: enhance gameplay significantly with fully stable, newly introduced Combo Cams that bring cinematic flair to attacks across all Forms. Rest assured, you can easily disable most of them in the game settings if desired (Combo Cam ON or OFF)!

Spoiler:  
Show

• FX not playing successively in Ultimate Form's Counter Blade
• Incorrect SFX playing successively in Ultimate Form's Magic Combo animations

• Aqua's Barrier particle effect ending abruply

Semi-relevant:
• For Counter Shield, it's not possible to keep your guard up against multi-hit attacks like in Vanilla (you must instead keep pressing Square/X repeatedly against multi-hit attacks to ensure your guard is up). This is due to having introduced cancellable block.
• Certain moves like Blizzard Claws & Blades tracking magic or DFOBV Teleport attack will not behave correctly against unconventional enemies (e.g. large bosses). Sorry about that.
• The upgraded Rocket Fist can sometimes miss its second hit.
• On Data Bosses, Light Beam Barrage may occasionally cause targeting issues. Even more rarely, it can cause crashes. Remember you can always opt out of LBB by removing DFOKP and DFOBV from Modloader (the optional PoweredUpDoubleForm pak will NOT cause these issues though!)

Barely relevant:
• Some of the randomized base animations are still works in progress.
• Blizzard Claws & Blizzard Blades: even though they are now associated to and have the abilities of Element Form, the Main Menu still lists the Blitz Form abilities (it’s only a text inconsistency).
• Double Form OBV: Hits dealt during the Shotlock are no longer added to the hit counter.

A HUGE thank you to:
• Discount, for making the tutorial on animset duplication and letting me repurpose a few animations.
• Dh, for finding out the method to recover into Unreal Engine all notifies from the game’s original animations.
• YuriLewd, for helping me make the logic behind changing animsets at runtime (for Light Beam Barrage in DFOKP and DFOBV), as well as for providing the file which allows Sora to use all the collisions of his Formchange attacks.
• Sora101, for: figuring out the fix for the missing dependency crashes, providing a modified version of YuriLewd’s collision file, every one of his AMAZING notifies, his custom camera system and letting me use the randomized idle animations from his mod!
• Trashman, for finding out the method to change the Counter Shield Finish.
• Narknon for discovering UAssetGUI (with which we could finally edit the broken Keyblade Equip files, basically allowing DFOBV to be a thing) and for his custom Unreal Engine.
• Aproydtix for providing his Final Form-Styled Glide.
• Lots of users, some of which I already mentioned, for making some amazing custom notifies (allowing for stuff like i-frames or Freeflow): Aproydtix, Chirijiraden, YuriLewd, Discount, DogexTylom.
