KINGDOM HEARTS III offers seemingly minimal character customization via its in-game menus, but the few settings it offers actually control a lot. Details for each character’s starting stats, equipment, and customization options can be found below.
Starting Stats
Sora’s starting stats are decided based on an in-game choice made by the player at the beginning of the game. During the Dive to the Heart section, the first set of choices offered to the player will determine his starting stats. For other characters, all of their starting stats are fixed.

Customizing Characters
All of Sora’s actions are controlled by player-input, and are therefore excluded from this section. For every other Party Member in the game however, there are a series of settings that you can define from the game’s Customization page in the Pause Menu. They are detailed as follows.
| Category | Option | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Combat Style | Stick by Sora Be Yourself Hands Off Finish the Job | The friend will target enemies near Sora. The friend will target enemies of choice. Not all friends behave the same. The friend will stay out of the fight and take a supporting role instead. The friend will target an enemy and stay on that enemy until it's defeated. |
| Abilities | Go Wild Watch MP Conserve | The friend will use abilities at will. The friend will balance using abilities and keeping MP in reserve. The friend will keep ability usage to a minimum |
| Recovery | Use as Needed Use in Emergencies Use Like Crazy | The friend will use recovery items/magic as needed. The friend will only use recovery items/magic in an emergency. The friend will use recovery items/magic if selected targets lose even the slightest amount of HP/MP. |
