INTRO :

This mod based off of "Another Road" aims to make the game fully playable as Terra/nort 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”.

INSTALLATION :

Manual: open the .rar file and drag the .pak files into your ~mods folder

Vortex: click  mods, drag the zip into the “drop file” box at the bottom and install and enable the mod


KNOWN ISSUES :

- Not compatible with mods that change the equipment, abilities, formchanges, etc.
Basically anything this mod changes you can't change again or there will be conflicts!

- Everything for Sale only works if you buy stuff, save and THEN install this mod after.

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

- Certain moves will sometimes make you clip through walls/floor etc. 
Especially in smaller rooms.

- 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 certain outfits 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 running sometimes. That's just how the KH3 physics work with that model and there's nothing I can really do about it. It's barely noticeable though imo

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


 FAQ :

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

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

Q: Is Terra/nort shrinked in any way  ? 
A: Only during Cutscenes.

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. I'll create the UI myself from scratch, add more Locus Skills etc. over time.

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.

ENJOY THE MOD ! 🙂
