Fantastic news to see it coming so soon in EU. Hopefully it's the same for NA!

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.

It's just a marketing screenshot, they're not going to shove New World Luffy there, unless the story has something to do with time travel or something. Plus you can use any character on any level basically, so there's also that.

That was fast for it to come out of JPN only, hopefully it is announced us here, vita version especially.

Dont know why one would want to play as Enel though, awful product of an awful arc.

Now I'm not sure if I should buy the first OP Musou, will they possibly exclude whatever arcs they already covered in the first game?

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.

Probably not, otherwise the sequel would be very short!

Theres more than enough arcs for them to do in the sequel while cutting out the ones they covered, and more of them are suited to the Musou style as well if they really wanted to get comprehensive:

- Captain Kuro Arc
- LogueTown (essential to introduce Smoker really)
- Whiskey Peak
- Little Garden
- Jaya
- Skypeia (confirmed)
- Foxy/Davyback (mini-game central?) + Ao Kiji boss
- Thriller Bark
- Amazon Lily (punchin loadsa gals... might not be allowed XD)

then TimeSkip and Fishman Island and Punk Hazard. If theyre still looking for a little more content, they can turn to the 'canon' movies of Strong World and Z to fill some gaps.

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

No, not at all. The first game is purely fan-service. You'll have no idea what's going on in the story without having read One Piece, and the gameplay is pretty good but nothing amazing.

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.

Skypedia is a pretty average arc in my opinion, but it's not too bad. Enel as a playable character is pretty cool. I wonder if this game will also have the Strawhats + four other characters as playable or if there'll be more. Hopefully there'll be many more. '

The first game was good but there are soooo many things that can be improved in the sequel.

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

What? It's cheaper than the average game I think, and it's been at 50% on both American and Europan PSN in case buying it on disc is too expensive for you.

Well, a lot of the arcs you mentioned can't really be done in a game like this. Like Captain Kuro arc. That would be like the smallest level in the game.

Instead of having loads of arcs, I think they should just have three arcs and do them really well. Skypeia, Thriller Bark and some new world. Fewer arcs doesn't mean less content, mind you. They could make the levels bigger, more open, more things to do and collect in them etc. Or maybe create an all-new arc and have it be open-world.

Open-world Thriller Bark with exploration and rewards would be amazing.

Excellent. Playable villains then.

Looking forward to kicking all kinds of ass with Crocodile.

I like how the 3 New World design Straw Hats they're showing are the only ones that appeared in the first game.

All I need to do is start/finish the first one. Glad I bought it when it was cheap for PS+ members.
Click to expand...

I'm still super choked I missed it by a few days...I hope it goes on sale again, then I'll definitely grab without hesitation since it'd be cheaper than importing the EU version.

That is certainly true, but with the DW series they pretty much repeat the story don't they? I can see them doing the same with OP, but I hope more news comes up so I can decide if I want to wait or buy the first game first.

Maybe I'll import the euro release this time purely from a hard drive space perspective.

I don't want to upgrade the drive on my 80gb phat when the fan has been getting loud as fuck, and I'll probably have to buy a new PS3 anyway

Why do I kinda feel like that picture is spoilerish lol.

I haven't seen Akoji is some time since the time skip AND Luffy never had fire around his Gumo Gumo no Pistol

It appears as though they incorporated special attacks into a normal combo moveset (Zoro's Asura for example). It looks like fun, but wtf did they to Eneru's earlobes?
Click to expand...

Apparently, ultra-long earlobes are too difficult. That's my guess.

Please bring this over to the states Namco. Though, I do need to get the first game. I've got some gift cards, I'll buy a PSN card with them.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
I've recently bought One Piece: Pirate Warriors (thanks PSN sale!), and completed the main story...and I liked it a lot! Great, ignorant fun XD And after Paper Mario, probably I'm going to play it again for special missions, online, etc. And yeah, can't wait for Pirate Warriors 2. :D

Latest Jump scan shows that the game will be released in Japan on March 20th. A "Treasure Box" is also shown which will include the game, what looks like a cover skin for the old slim PS3, soundtrack, cards and a calendar (?). All first-print copies of the game will also include a download code for Luffy's outfit in One Piece Film: Z and code for an in-game figurine in the Mobage game One Piece Grand Collection.

As for the prices...

PS3 (regular and DL): 8190 yen
Treasure Box: 12390 yen
Vita (regular and DL): 7140 yen

Scan also shows Nami, Robin and Usopp.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Yes, then I remembered One Piece is a Bandai Namco title. Still, seeing both of them so near to each other...what the hell XD

Showing Aokiji in his movie/post time skip form seems to hint they're going to include a Film Z stage to help beef the post timeskip part of the game. Hopefully they do a Strong World stage as well.
