LiK · Dec 10, 2012

Oh, I was looking for "Musou" lol. Anyway, the screens are new!

Brandon F · Dec 10, 2012

Love Musou games, but know nothing about One Piece. Is the first game worth a look?

Kazuma Kiryu · Dec 10, 2012

well, this is a good place to ask this, so here goes: didn't one piece musou 1 skip a few story arcs? is there any info that 2 is gonna do the same?

LuuKyK · Dec 10, 2012

Yeah, the title had Pirate Warriors instead of Musou:

The main/big arcs it skipped were Loguetown, Skypiea, and Thriller Bark. Enel and Skypiea are in this one, so there's hope for the others...

A.E Suggs · Dec 10, 2012

Hopefully less of the platform crap and more musou.

dakkumauji · Dec 10, 2012

Nice to see the screens for me.

Hopefully they'll improve the musou-ing of this game.

what, thriller bark wasn't in the game? *boooo*

Well hello there, post-timeskip Aokiji.

chickdigger802 · Dec 10, 2012

Cyberconnect really should sell their tech to other anime game makers. Shit like this depresses me.

Yep, I was really disappointed that they didn't include one of my favorite characters(Smoker) and arcs(Thriller Bark). This has to fix these things. :|

ShockingAlberto said:

Yeah, there will very likely be a stage based off the new Film Z, since that's what Kuzan is wearing during the film.

ezekial45 · Dec 10, 2012

Hopefully it'll have double the playable characters.

dragonflys545 · Dec 10, 2012

OH MY GOD! I want this inside me!

Gear2nd_PK · Dec 10, 2012

Glad to see God Eneru and the ruins of Shandora making their way to the sequel. Hope there's more to the Skypiea stage besides Shandora.

Can't wait until they reveal Thriller Bark (zombies and Oars!). I liked the TB-esque island in Unlimited Cruise 2 a lot. If TB gets added, I wonder how they'll fit in Nightmare Luffy.

FrostuTheNinja · Dec 10, 2012

Excellent! I heard the news earlier but it's good to see some screens. I actually need to get back to the original and finish it up. I was having fun with it, but I can't remember why I put it down. Guess I'll find out soon enough.

J-Tier · Dec 10, 2012

I can only say...already? Feels too soon to me personally, I'm just worried that the title will fall in line with the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series--reusing a bunch of the old assets and adding assets that were unfinished from the previous.

I paid full price for the first game, I love the One Piece series, and want to fully support it. I'm just hoping my loyalty isn't taken advantage of and that this next game is a good full game.

I agree

Dragun619 · Dec 10, 2012

Love the first one, hope they have all the arcs they skipped the first time around, like Thriller Bark and maybe have all the supernovas be playable too especially Law.

Takao · Dec 10, 2012

Any new info on Project Versus J ducky?

GavinGT · Dec 10, 2012

THE One Piece Pirate Musou 2?

DR2K · Dec 10, 2012

Awesome. Will import for Vita.

Aru · Dec 10, 2012

I don't know if this game follows the manga or the anime releases. We haven't seen post timeskip Ao Kiji in the anime, yet. This game shouldn't be released until 5-6 months, I think.

Tizoc · Dec 10, 2012

English release really, REALLY should consider the YOPO concept.

twentytwo22 · Dec 10, 2012

I don't know anything about One Piece, but the news said this game will cover the "New World" and "Sky Island" chapters (I don't know the English names, sorry).

Also, that Enel guy was announced as a playable character.

Oh snap, this hopefully means playable villains.

Make pimp coat Law playable, please.

Solid Amit · Dec 10, 2012

Still didn't play the Pirate Warrior, it's so damn expensive

Hitlersaurus Christ · Dec 10, 2012

I hope Punk HAzard is in. I've really been enjoying that arc.

Diprosalic · Dec 10, 2012

I marathoned through OP last month and i was looking for a OP game to play over the holidays. Would the first 1 be a good choice? Never played a Musou game

Reknoc · Dec 10, 2012

Hope Adventure mode is better, less QTEs.

Diprosalic said:

Well it's one of the less bad One Piece games so yes. Grand Battle on the PS2 is okay, but the English versions use the old 4Kids dub.

Vegivo · Dec 10, 2012

Grabbing this on vita

Kusagari · Dec 10, 2012

Playable Law please.

nelsonroyale · Dec 10, 2012

Mine for Vita

You want to play an arc where they run for hours?

Jaroof · Dec 10, 2012

Hope it's a cross-buy game.

Parakeetman · Dec 10, 2012

They need to up their game a bit since was let down with the first one and sold it back after a week.

The whole overuse of the QTEs were irritating.

Host Samurai · Dec 10, 2012

Idk why they just don't full blown cell shade the game like Naruto.

GG-Duo · Dec 10, 2012

Raiden-esque slicing action please.

Kurita said:

Just like Eines Lobby... and Impel Down!

Cause they probably won't be able to get it running at a stable fps while keeping all the characters on screen and action from musou games.

If you ever plan on getting into One Piece, don't play it. Spoilers galore.. but that's a given.
If not, I'd say go for it. It's a pretty solid game, with pretty good musou action, lots of characters, and lots of moves.. and a pretty good leveling/equip system.
It was surprisingly deeper than I initially thought it would be.

Reknoc · Dec 10, 2012

I think that's the first time anyone has said Pirate Warriors had a lot of characters. Not only was the playable roster small, but it was the missing a lot of characters that seemed to have full move sets.

Good combat mechanics though I hope they put in a jump button as well as keeping the dodge dash.

Netto-kun · Dec 10, 2012

The official Facebook page mentions that the game is coming in summer 2013 ~~(no mention on whether that's the Japanese or Western release period)~~.

Edit: Actually, that's probably for Europe.

reminder · Dec 10, 2012

Not for Vita in europe? The EU PR doesn't even mention a Vita Version...

In Enies Lobby there was a time restraint, but worthwhile enemies AND a reason for them. Impel Down sucks. Not really comparable.

Tiu Neo · Dec 10, 2012

YES. Playable villains, please!

Brandon F said:

Yes. Became a fan of the series because of the first game. There are a lot of spoilers on the game, but the series is worthwhile anyway.

Pie and Beans · Dec 10, 2012

Hrrrrrrrm. Not a fan of them fucking around with 'when' Skypeia happened with New World Luffy there and his newest attack.

Hopefully just an initial marketing shot that isn't in the game proper.
