As a fan of the Warriors games, I'm inclined to give this a try for the crazy factor.

I will definitely be picking this up, though I wish they could have been a little earlier with the release date so I could have been more prepared. For the longest they said summer for NA and I think the release date was announced like a week or 2 ago.
Anyways, I'm excited to play as Aokiji. He's my favorite character that isn't part of the Strawhat crew.

Nice OT man, can someone tell me what new arcs they've added compared to the first one? Also it's good to see that they chopped down on the QTE's and platforming.
But wtf NamcoBandai, Not even a digital version for the vita? How we even getting DBZ: Battle of Z as Vita digital title but not One Piece? Maaaaan #salty

Yeah, this is total bullshit.
As big a Op fan as I am I can understand why they did not. Vita has not been selling well in the U.S and One Piece is not that popular here either. I'm still mad about it and wish it was coming here but I still can understand their decision.

Does this game start in the beginning of the series? Or is it just the first one that does? Also, do they convey the story well?

what improvement compared to first game.

Couple questions:
1. Is there a better leveling system in this game? Because I felt like I was never really "upgrading" my characters in the first game and the coin system was pretty boring and uninspired to me...
2. Is there a better "flow" to the game, or is it like the first game where you are really just spending a ton of hours going through story mode using only Luffy and then eventually go back to the free mode type stuff in order to play as other characters?

This game is much more of a traditional musou title now and not like the first game at all. The story is original and you start getting other characters to use right after the first stage.
It's definitely worth checking out if you're a musou and/or One Piece fan.

Ah, sweet, the OP is up. Amazing job, it looks fantastic! However, this is the new world, and also as you can see on the picture, Aokiji is no longer Aokiji. He has gone back to his real name, Kuzan 
I'm really excited for this game. I'm a big One Piece fan. I've been anticipating this game for months. Such a shame that it comes out right as my university studies start. I've pre-ordered the game, however I did so at The Hut because it was much cheaper, so I probably wont get it until like a week or two after launch.
That's awesome. I'm not entirely sure how the support characters work in this game, but I suppose I'll find out.
It's noncanon.

Hehas a few different forms and once you beat the game, you can use him as a support character like other bosses(Krieg, Magellan, etc.)

37 if you count the pre-timeskip versions of the strawhats and blackbeard with both his powers. It's such a huge improvement compared to the roster of the first game.

Oh wait One Piece thread... hope everyone has a D in their middle names, at least you'll go out smiling =P

Basically, once you build your meter to activate Haki, if you defeat enough enemies with haki activated, you can use a crew strike. If your support is a playable character, the character you choose comes in and you control them for a short time, just make sure you end it with a musou attack! If you choose a support-only/enemy character, they only come in and do a musou attack.

Middle names only, when the curse get to us we won't be smiling that's assured if you don't have a middle name starting with D. =P

Hmm, but not every character can use haki, right?
Okay, so support-characters only come in and do a special? That's unfortunate. I'd love to see them do some serious DLC/expansion with more playable characters. Would love to actually play as Don Krieg and Magellan, not to mention Kid and Doflamingo who aren't even in the game at all I think.

are one piece musou games have rpg loot aspects of the other ones?

Nope! In this game, every character has haki. I think they call it the "Style" bar?
Yep, only come in and do a special. It's disappointing, but at least it's nice to see them do SOMETHING! Kidd isn't in, which is unfortunate. I'd love to see all the Supernova in this, especially Kidd, X. Drake, and Apoo.

Oh, they all can use haki? That doesn't make any sense, but hey, it's noncanon and it's a video game -- it's not supposed to make sense
A Supernova (or Worst Generation) expansion would be awesome. I need me some Doflamingo and Magellan too though. I mean, they're most likely not going to do another sequel on the PS3, so why not do an expansion pack? Would be there on day one

I don't think they all use haki, but that it's a super mode they go into or something while some characters use haki.

The rest should start rolling in soon enough.

Nice first score, now I'm even more hyped. Than again, that score isn't surprising given that you can do this:

Ah, that makes sense.
There's been other reviews in English, but they've been of the Japan import.
So is this more fully fleshed out than the first one? I was about two steps away from purchasing the first one before reading reviews and seeing that it was basically the lightest mosou game on the market (as far as content is concerned). Does it look like this one has similar problems?
Katana_Strikes
Member
Yeah sorry, that's what I meant, non import reviews.
Yeah this is much closer to other Warrior games and does away with crappy platform sections. The first one is great too, no doubt and you should track it down if you can get it cheap at some point.
I had no interest in the sequel after spending a good deal of time with the original earlier this year. But after reading the OP Ill definitely cave in once/if it goes on sale via ps+. Hopefully by the time I'm done with DW8/Next/Kamen Rider I'll be able to gomu gomu with Luffy!

That £31.48, am I right? I jumped on that as well. I live in Sweden so the game won't be here in a week or two though. Has your copy been dispatched yet?

EmptySpace has been a One Piece fan for the past 14 years, but the gamer inside EmptySpace can not reconcile with a $50 game that is "quite average, quite okay, pure fanservice".

That doesn't make it "average" though. I don't enjoy Gran Turismo or Forza but I acknowledge that they're great games. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it suck.
