The mod is currently in hiatus right now. I don't really have the storage space or the drive to really continue development right now.
I do want to return to the mod in the future, but I am very inexperienced in this type of mod and will work on a few ideas first before returning to the project.
I will state a few plans I did have, and might try in the far future if it becomes much easier:
Replacements for more than just Sora, Riku as Yu Narukami, Roxas as P3 Hero, Donald as Morgana, etc etc.
A replacement for Kingdom Key by default. Kingdom Key is Sora's Keyblade, so Joker should get his own....
Better weight painted model. (AKA, the model actually looks much better and animates much smoother. Maybe even emotes in selfie mode without becoming an deformed monster.)
Joker's voice clips over Sora. (Did think about finding someone to try voicing Joker to say party member names that haven't been replaced. Don't want to use AI as Xander Mobus doesn't want his voice to be used for AI, and I respect his choice.)
Another Form Change Texture Update. (Most likely going to be more based off the actual forms again with subtle hints to Persona things.)
Actual Glasses on the Toy Box model. (I swear that model is cursed.)
Maybe Replacing Normal Demi-Fiend with Demi-Fiend Joker from P5 Dancing...
A special song played in 100 Acre Wood as a collaboration between Project Phantom and Project Noise (please check that mod out, it's AWESOME)
Maybe a optional moveset mod based off of Strikers combat... I'd need to find someone for that...
Okay so yeah, those were my plans for the Project. As said before, it is currently on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time, but not abandoned!
Sorry for the late reply, but you can open the folder location in the Vortex Mod Manager and opening Project Phantom's folder there should be a file named like "z-ProjectPhantom.pak" rename the file to like "zzzzzz-ProjectPhantom" and that should work
Actually yeah, I do need help with audio for the mod, if you can DM me your discord info, we can try to work together if that's something you would be open to!
Not yet, the face kinda distorts a lot, however, it should still look fine during normal gameplay, just cutscenes and the gummiphone's selfies break a little.
So far this mod is amazing, custom music would really tie the whole mod together, plus now I can't get the imagery of Goofy being Ryuji and Donald being Morgana out of my head after thinking about it.
I do want to add custom music and sounds when possible, however, I am currently unable to do that myself, and have been looking for someone to assist me with the mod!
I did think about having Morgana replace Donald though, I did think that would be funny.
While that would be cool to do a hero theme as well, the way that the normal game calls the texture could mess with it. Since it calls the Base forms texture files along with the form changes, having a drastically different model could prove disastrous. Right now, He trades his headphones for his Mask, and since it uses the original texture, the mask has his headphone's texture. Funny huh?
I think that could work very well if I could get it to work! Right now, my main plan was to just paste Joker's Hair and Glasses over Toy Box Sora to keep the same "Plastic Toy" feel that Sora has. I had tired that, however the model broke in a very horrific way, so IDK if getting a model replacement on Toy Box is possible for me just yet, but I am looking into it.
most likely not, as I do not have the technical skill to add the physics to the jacket. However, using most mod menus (such as Tres Mod Loader) you can just set yourself as Pirates Sora, which is Phantom Thief Joker.
We'll watch your career with this mod with great progress. Not exactly a fan of the Dancing Joker being the base Sora, I'd either go with Shujin or his Phantom Thief outfit, but hey I won't stop if you think that it suits him more. I think it would be cool that when you eventually get to Quadratum, he uses his Smash Ultimate model. Just thought I help suggest a few ideas.
I didn't want to use normal Shujin Joker as it's a little too bland/overused. Dancing Joker I believe fits the kinda theme with Kingdom Hearts a lot more, so I went with that to keep a more lighthearted nature. There originally was a Quadratum Model, however it broke everytime when it was loaded, so I had it removed before this Alpha release. It's also not a bad idea to have the smash model, however, that model is honestly extremelly annoying to work with in my eyes. (There's literally two versions of the model, in the same mesh, a low poly, and higher poly, all just merged together) Don't worry though, I have a few surprises for Quadtraum planned in the future.

first I love your idea with Persona 5 Crossover and Kingdom Hearts 3 :D Thank you very much for your work :D
I didn´t understand how you can change the order of mods D: How can I first load the Vicenial Trace mod and then your mod qwq
Also, in the event that you add Persona music, you can feel free to use my files for that!
