Kingdom Hearts 3 E3 Trailer: 10 Details You Totally Missed

7. The Return Of Situation Commands

Kingdom Hearts 2 introduced the idea of Reaction Commands, which were button prompts that activated different moves depending on the situation. They were extremely flashy, but arguably a little too easy.

To expand upon this idea and make it more involved, 0.2 Birth By Sleep introduced Situation Commands, which were one time use powerful moves that had to be earned through keeping up combos.

Now we've seen gameplay footage of Kingdom Hearts 3, we can see that Situation Commands are returning in a big way. Throughout the trailer, we see Sora build up several Situation Commands at once, including 'za' level spells and even the ability to enter into his different Drive Forms, which is different to previously having a Drive gauge.

This gives the Situation Commands a much more involved appearance within Kingdom Hearts 3, rather than just being used to dispatch enemies with ease.
