📋 About This Mod

IMPORTANT NOTE:

- CUTSCENES AND FACIAL ANIMATIONS NOT INCLUDED YET!

This mod based off of "Another Road" aims to make the game fully playable as Aqua along with custom stuff to change the KH3 experience.

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

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)

Also make sure to use it via ModLoader if you can't get the menu to open by pressing “O”.

MAJOR FEATURES :

- new playable character : Aqua , armored Aqua or Anti-Aqua

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

- new keyblades/weapons

- new custom formchanges

- new Reaction Commands for certain movesets

- new spells

- some UI changes

- optional files to use different outfits (only ever use 1 outfit file with the main file)

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

- new Focus restoring possibilities -> differs for each weapon

UNIQUE WEAPON FEATURES:

Rainfell:

- Use the "Barrier Surge" Reaction Command  which will restore focus on hit and switch to a Spell Weaver combo (you can switch back to the regular combo by using the same RC again)

- Use the "Teleport Rush" Reaction Command  when dodging to restore focus on hit 

- This keyblade is guaranteed to trigger new Grand Magic commands which restore focus on hit when used

Locus Skills:

- Magic Hour

- Wing Arrow

- Mirage Blizzaga (formchange only)

- Glider (formchange only, hold to use the glider and fly around or tap once to execute a short attack combo using the glider)

- Use the "Barrier Surge" Reaction Command  which will restore focus on hit and switch to a Spell Weaver combo (you can switch back to the regular combo by using the same RC again)

- Use the [color=#0

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod replaces Sora with Aqua from Kingdom Hearts, featuring her signature abilities, moves, custom formchanges, and animations. It's a character swap mod for fans of Aqua who want to play as her instead of Sora.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid endorsement count (83) for a niche character swap
  • Custom formchanges and animations add real variety
  • Brings Aqua's playstyle to the game for fans

⚠️ Cons

  • Based on 'Another Road' mod, so it may require that mod to work
  • Only 83 endorsements, so it's a niche pick
  • Potential compatibility issues with other Sora-based mods
🎯 Is This For You?
For Kingdom Hearts fans who want to play as Aqua instead of Sora. If you're a completionist looking for a fresh take on the campaign, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla Sora or want full gameplay overhauls.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if the base 'Another Road' mod is required and install it first.
