📋 About This Mod

The main file includes animation speed increases, and a second file contains changes to various movement values.

A menu can be opened by pressing the letter O key, to change various movement variables. To close it, simply click on the screen away from the menu and press O again.

The value changes are loaded through Sora's Idle animation, any mod that overwrites this will negate those changes.

Changing animations can be a lot of work, there are hundreds of files being changed!

Place in "\KINGDOM HEARTS III\Content\Paks\~mods\".

Now compatible with the ModLoader using the name ImprovedMovement. This is optional, and the mod still works standalone.

Also available for KH0. 2.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using other gameplay mods, check for conflicts since this mod changes core animation timings.
