Who will be the playable characters in One Piece Odyssey?
Who else but the Mugiwara crew! Indeed, all the heroes of One Piece will be playable, so Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Franky, Sanji, Robin, Chopper and Brook can be embodied in your adventure.
Gameplay
One Piece Odyssey will immerse players in an all-new story where Luffy and his crew will have to go back into their memories to regain all their powers. Clashes will happen quite surprisingly, but it will not necessarily cause dissatisfaction: You will control the Mugivaras on a turn-based basisas the iconic Dragon Quest might suggest. Proximity system will exist with elements such as fire, lightning or even ice. Thus, we will be able to deal more damage to opponents or give penalties. It was heard that the skills were very well executed, probably bringing impressive feelings.
Where the combat system is canon, your four fighters can be spread across different areas. In the story of One Piece, the main characters are all engaged in rivalries and rarely fight together. So everyone will have their own occupation and different strategy.
What arcs will the game have?
While this is an original story planned specifically for the game, it still has echoes of many story arcs familiar to fans. Especially we will have Sea Ford, Dressrosa, Albasta or Water is seven. So why does the original story find itself reliving past arcs?
Bandai Namco mentioned a few weeks ago that the Straw Hat team will have to regain their powers by recalling their memories. So, by making some returns in the past, we will surely see the brave Princess Vivi or the terrifying and tyrannical Doflamingo. We’ve even read that we might see Luffy’s spiritual brother Ace again, who sacrificed his life for him during the Battle of the Sea Castle… With a controller in hand, the ‘rain’ will surely be very strong.
Such interesting and above all impressive story arcs of One Piece will be re-enacted to bring a sense of nostalgia to players with a return to the basics needed for an all-new story. However, brand new characters will appear, but nothing indicates that they will be canon with the main plot of the story still being written.
