INTRO :

This is an effort to make the game fully playable as Young Xehanort along with custom stuff to change the KH3 experience .

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED (but not required)  MODS TO USE WITH THIS :

Longer formchanges: https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomhearts3/mods/884
(I personally use the 2 minute version but 60 sec version is probably more balanced)

Improved Movement: https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomhearts3/mods/394
(I mainly use this for faster weapon switching, faster air slides and faster glide speed but feel free to adjust the settings to your liking)


MAJOR FEATURES :

- new playable characters and world forms : Young Xehanort, No Heart(San Fransokyo), Scala YX(Caribbean) and hooded Young Xehanort(Monster's Inc.)

- new animations (standard movement, combos, transform, etc.)

- new keyblades/weapons

- new custom formchanges 

-new Focus Skills mechanics -> Locus Abilities (activated abilities triggered via a special shortcut menu accessible when blocking and holding L1/shift)

-new Focus restoring possibilites -> different for each weapon:

No Name:
Dodge to momentarily switch to a ranged moveset which will restore focus on hit (lasts about 2 seconds unless you press jump/circle during the ranged combo which will teleport you towards the enemy and switch back to the regular moveset)

Extremis:
In Base Form: Dodging restores a small amount of focus
In Formchange: Restores focus on hit with every combo attack

Gazing Eye:
Dodging restores a small amount of focus

Master's Defender(Eraqus):
Formchange only: Blocking incoming attacks will restore some focus

Scholar's Road(Dark Road Keyblade):
Base Form: Dodging will restore some focus
Formchange only: Switching Stances will restore some focus

Void Gear(Vanitas):
Formchanges only: Counters will restore some focus on hit 

Foudre(Larxene):
Formchanges only: Dodging will restore some focus

Interdiction(Xemnas):
Formchanges only: Performing combo finishers will restore some focus (can be executed earlier during the combo by pressing jump/circle)

Dark Crest(Ansem):
Formchanges only: Hitting enemies in Shooter Mode will restore some focus

Demon Swarm(Heartless Summoner): 
Formchange only: Just idling/standing when locked on to an enemy will gradually restore some focus

Graceful Dahlia(Marluxia):
Hitting enemies with the "Reap!" Reaction Command when blocking will restore some focus
(restores more if used during the formchanges)

- new Reaction Commands for certain movesets

-new ally character : replaced the ally version of Sora with an ally Young Xehanort

-new UI elements across the board

-optional files to use any outfit in any world (only ever use 1 outfit file with the main file)

...and much, much more!

I strongly suggest reading this description page aswell as the known issues below !!!

KNOWN ISSUES :

- when fighting Data Saix, using certain abilities relying on Sora101Ven's Soraspawn Blueprint may crash the game. This is still a fairly rare occurence but Sora101Ven is working on a fix for that. Pls be patient.

- keyboard players will notice that the new locus shortcut menu shows 1 wrong button(space instead of attack).
Just press attack instead and it will do the associated Locus action.

- some visual glitches with the scala YX model during certain animations. Nothing major or game breaking though

- playing with the japanese button setup is wonky since certain combos use certain buttons for custom modifiers. So i suggest using the setting that gives you the western button setup.

- kind of glitchy robe between legs when he runs. thats just how the KH3 physics work with that model and theres nothing I can really do about it. Its barely noticeable though imo

- Most long transform animations are not implemented yet so I suggest changing the setting to use the quick transformations.

- Not yet modified weapons will deform YX and move the camera a little higher and some will have weird weapon placements in addition to that so avoid using any key other than the ones I already edited. Weapons that have not yet been edited have a custom menu icon warning you not to use them!

- When fighting Master Xehanort in the final boss fight and he forces you into Rage Form, your currently equipped keyblade won't transform into Saix's Claymore as it would in regular Rage Form(Berserk). The form will still work as usual though.

- Avoid using any other big character or gameplay overhauls with this mod as they will most likely not work correctly or at all.

 FAQ :

Q: Does this replace other playable characters such as Riku or Aqua ? 
A: No, no changes there.

Q: Does YX have physics  ? 
A: Yes. I will never upload a character mod without physics.

Q: Is YX shrinked in any way  ? 
A: Nope, only when using formchanges i did'nt edit yet.

Q: Is this compatible with other big character mods such as Equinox,Terra mod, Embrace etc.  ? 
A: Obviously not.

Q: Is this compatible with Modloader/Improved Movement  ? 
A: Yes and it is strongly recommended to use it to change the glide speed since you can fly in some formchanges. DO NOT USE THE IMPROVED MOVEMENT ANIMATION PAK FILE THOUGH.

Q: Will there be updates to this ? 
A: Yes, we are planning to add a lot more aswell as movesets representing the rest of the Real Org XIII members.

Q: Will the known issues get fixed ?
A: Some yes,some maybe not. But they're all very minor imo so you should be good.
