📋 About This Mod

SIDE NOTE :

If you’re looking for a more stable, up-to-date and accurate version of Terra aswell as Lingering Will you should use this instead:

https://www.nexusmods.com/kingdomhearts3/mods/2362

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

This does include cutscenes but without face animations cause aint nobody got time for that.

MAJOR FEATURES :

- New playable characters : Terra, Lingering Will and Terranort (coat and regular clothes)

- New combos

- New keyblades

- New formchanges

- New custom weapon transformations for Ends of the Earth

...and much, much more!

(PS: I suggest always locking on in Earthen Will form or you will miss a lot)

KNOWN ISSUES :

- Some cutscenes will still show Sora because Id have to replace NPC Sora for those specifically which would break ally Sora unless i modded him too.

- teleporting moves can teleport you through walls if used in very tight spaces so just don’t use those in those scenarios.

- When fighting Terranort and using Rage Form only 1 of you will have a voice at a time because they use the same soundbank file.

- Ally NPC Sora uses Terra's/LW's/Terranort's voice aswell.

- Cooking shows Sora but works fine.

- If you notice a formchange not working correctly it is because that formchange has not been implemented yet.

- Certain Shotlocks are not yet fully implemented.

- During Terra animations imported from BbS the shoulder will have a slight deformation. I haven’t found a way to fix that but you probably won’t even see it during regular gameplay.

Q: Does this replace other playable characters such as Riku or Aqua ?

A: No, no changes there.

Q: Does Terra have physics  ?

A: Yes. I will never upload a character without physics.

Q: Is Terra shrinked in any way  ?

A: Nope this uses his ingame model and skeleton and he is playable in his full glory.

Q: Is this compatible with other big character mods such as Equinox, Embrace etc.  ?

A: Obviously not.

Q: Is this compatible with Modloader/Improved Movement  ?

A: Yes it is BUT Improved Movement menu wont appear unless you also have Modloader activated. You dont actually need to add it to Modloader. Modloader just needs to be activated in your modlist.

Q: Will there be updates to this ?

A: Yes, whenever I feel like working more on this, there will be an update.

Q: Will the known issues get fixed ?

A: maybe, maybe not. But theyre all very minor imo so you shou
