TokyoMystify 4 Posted September 16, 2011 I've always wondered, does the anti form hold any kind of meaning to the story? will it hold any meaning? I write about it here because sora is,after all, going to go for the master title, so this has to have some kind of form in the story, I'd be pretty annoyed if it wasn't.

TheApprenticeofKingMickey 3,689 Posted September 16, 2011 No. Anti-Form was just a side effect of Sora becoming a Heartless in KHI. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aru Akise 2,540 Posted September 16, 2011 Yeah, Nomura said he wanted to create something powerful but annoying, then he used the fact Sora had become a heartless and made Anti-form. No story importance that form has. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TokyoMystify 4 Posted September 16, 2011 No. Anti-Form was just a side effect of Sora becoming a Heartless in KHI. I know that, but that's a pretty serious side effect. And what? it just goes away with time? Yeah, Nomura said he wanted to create something powerful but annoying, then he used the fact Sora had become a heartless and made Anti-form. No story importance that form has. Ah, I see. Well, this all connects to the different forms too. In 3ds sora has new cloths....they showed how he changed in khll so Im guessing it'll be the same for this new title. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kishira 2,854 Posted September 16, 2011 Didn't it go away once Roxas went back to Sora? Wasn't that why it was alot harder to go into Anti-Form later in the game or something? @.@ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheApprenticeofKingMickey 3,689 Posted September 16, 2011 I know that, but that's a pretty serious side effect. And what? it just goes away with time? I think it's only relevant for the gameplay Kingdom Hearts II. And instead of talking about Sora think of Xehanort. What type of side effects will he have now that he's been restored? That's something to think about. If there's any relevance at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's something to think about. If there's any relevance at all. That's something good to think about too. But, Yen Sid didn't look too worried saying how he would not leave little paths for him to take, so I wouldn't be that worried ,unlike sora, who becomes a heartless out of nowhere and turns back. And I'll just be honest.....I love using the anti form, and would be so awesome if it was related to the story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I mean, the only reason Sora could go into Anti-Form was because he was technically still a Heartless; but once he got his Nobody back, he was a full person again........at least that what I thought. o_O Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Roxas came back to Sora, maybe his body stopped acknowledging it should have been a Heartless. I mean, Nobodies only exist because the person got turned into a Heartless. Maybe being without Roxas is what caused Anti-Form, and his return stopped it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if we take it as the anti form being a defect of not being complete, if he's complete now.....I might not hate this after all. I'm not sure if you're right, but it would make sense story wise.

Aru Akise 2,540 Posted September 16, 2011 It's pointless argueing about it, Nomura hasn't connected anti-form with anything in the story. Roxas came back to Sora and now Sora is complete, now I want to see his true power without the need to use drive forms. LET THE RAGE OF SORA'S TWO SWORDS STYLE BEGIN! He should be able to use Synch Blade all the time, shouldn't he? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roxas was created in that form, because sora had Ventu's heart inside of him right? So did Roxas have the heart? If he did, did sora lose power because he took it away? if he did lose power because of that then, when ventus comes back, is sora going to lose a lot of his strength?

When Sora became a Heartless, Ven's heart went to Roxas. After Roxas returned to Sora, the heart went back to him. As far as I know, Ven's heart doesn't effect Sora. Sora's heart effects Ven. If anyone suffered, it'd be Ven. He probably lost valuable time for his heart to be healed. Anyway, I think they'll both be just fine when Sora returns Ven's heart.

That's good, but if it's true....well it seems not many are actually interested in looking into the fact all that the clothes do is release his own powers, not give them to him, thus making the heartless form his own power and making it something serious. So I'll just wait for Dream Drop Distance to come out, see if the clothes will be changed with no explanation and see what to think from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what I want to know is if you mean on the new game and where he said this. And if Roxas only woke his consciousness then my point stands, what will be Nomura's action on his powers (forms) and anti. i doubt he did it just because it looks cool, I really hope it's not jsut because of that. But in the new gameplay explanations for 3ds it was already said that sora was in different clothes but he didn't know why, so that's a good start.

Obi-wan 411 Posted September 17, 2011 There's a good argument here and are any of you surprised that I got anti form out at I don't three tries. 0_o I don't know how but on KH2 if you hold triangle, r2 and 1 you can get it out easier. And you guys are all making points here but anti came only because of Sora becoming a heartless and that is that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NightfallXIII 68 Posted July 3, 2012 What side-affect does Anti Form have? I never noticed anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DG20 67 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) What side-affect does Anti Form have? I never noticed anything. In game, Anti Form is powerful but the downside is you can't heal at all or cancel the drive form. It's likely to get you killed on boss battles if you happen to get it. Story line wise, there is no side effects, but the story didn't exactly explain how you could suddenly merge your form/existance with Donald and Goofy either. I'm hoping if they mention any sort of side effects in the story in the future it'll relate back to Vanitas. Edited July 3, 2012 by DG20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkFollower 2 Posted July 4, 2012 Antiform apeared in KH1 (Antisora-Neverland) I think it may be aclue that sora has darkness inside him, I wouldn't be surprised if that led him to failure in the MoM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
