October 18, 201213 yr CoM had this whole thing about Riku making use of the darkness and harnessing the power of Dark Mode So why doesn't it appear AFTER that? Maybe because he embraced the darkness fully as ansem-riku?
October 18, 201213 yr Popular Post Because Dark Mode is when Riku let darkness take hold of him but since he chose the road to dawn he doesnt let it completely take hold but balances it more ..So he doesnt need to 'change modes'..
October 18, 201213 yr In-story, It would be redundant as Riku can harness darkness in tandem with light with no adverse effects after he was purged of Notsem. In terms of game design, the developers probably didn't know what to do with it after CoM. I imagine that's also the reason why Drives haven't been used since 2. Notice how every game seems to replace or modify a lot of mechanics as opposed to adding new ones on top of the old. (Drive forms->Command Styles-> Riku's Dream eater combos), (Static abilities->Panels-> ability crystals -> Dream Eater skill trees) (Combo Finishers->Limit Breaks->Command Style Finishers-> Sora's Dream Eater Combos)
October 18, 201213 yr Pretty much what Flaming Lea said. Riku has better control over his darkness now. The reason why he even had that dark suit was because he didn't have a full handle on darkness quite yet. At least, not until later in his story anyway.

Pretty much this.Riku has accepted darkness in tandem with light, so there is really no need to use a form that only harnesses half of his full power.
October 18, 201213 yr Because after Riku's dramatic acceptance of Darkness in CoM he was hit on the head during Days and lost his memories, so he decided that he couldn't go home because he had darkness in him. Makes me super mad.
October 20, 201213 yr Well riku was done with the darkness if he had light he would use the powers of light.
October 20, 201213 yr Well riku was done with the darkness if he had light he would use the powers of light. I walk the road to dawn Ergo he uses both light and darkness because he has more strength with both than with either independently.
