Long after its 2019 release, the Kingdom Hearts 3 mod scene is still thriving, especially with the Steam launch this week. And thanks to one modder, Larxian, Final Fantasy may have a little more to explore in Kingdom Hearts as they’ve dropped Sora right into the Final Fantasy 15 city, Insomnia, with their in-development mod.
Sora uses his flowmotion abilities all over Insomnia
Insomnia is the crown city of Final Fantasy 15, in which Noctis lived throughout his childhood and he returns to later in life. In this mod, we can play as Sora swinging on the architecture of the city and zooming from place to place in an instant. It’s reminiscent of Noctis maneuvering his way around the skyscraper in the initial …just less gory, a little more Disney.
Larxian began to share details on social media about the mod project in . They have since added NPCs to the city and even included a Moogle Shop. The modder tracks their progress on X, and you can follow along by searching for #InsomniaMod. While there’s no ETA just yet, it looks like they’ve made plenty of headway in bringing Insomnia to life.
This Kingdom Hearts 3 mod might be the beginning of what’s to come
Ever since the Kingdom Hearts 3 secret movie, many fans have speculated on the parallels between the Versus XIII marketing and the secret movie. It’s all thanks to Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura’s history as the director of the Versus XIII project before it transitioned to Final Fantasy 15. One of the last shots of the Kingdom Hearts 3 Re: Mind secret movie is influenced by the scene in which Noct🙈is is sitting at the back of a limousine car, looking out towards the window. Yozora is doing the exact same motion.
Perhaps in Kingdom Hearts 4, we’ll see Quadratum’s version of Insomnia and the skyscraper, like those we see in this mod.
