One Piece Odyssey -PS4/PS5/XBOX Series/PC 1/12/23

Zoro running around like he's got a good sense of direction is too unrealistic.

The Usopp 5t hammer only doing 5 damage is hilarious.

This actually looks great.

Looks exactly like Dragon Quest XI to me, which is pretty cool

Can't wait for this. Any idea when release date?

Dragon Quest on the High Seas, Development assisted by Tales of Arise Director

Even with my relatively little One Piece knowledge, it's easy to see how much care developer ILCA has put into taking this franchise into RPG territory. Whether it ends up being a hit in the fandom remains to be seen, and the same goes for how authentic to One Piece as a franchise Odyssey is. But if my two hours of hands-on time demonstrate anything, it's that Odyssey is shaping up to be a unique and exciting JRPG, and one players should keep an eye on, One Piece fans or not.

'One Piece Odyssey' could finally be the epic game the series deserves

'One Piece Odyssey' is a wildly ambitious new direction for the franchise, with plenty offer JRPG newcomers and veterans alike.

All the little systems and mechanics in One Piece Odyssey seem overwhelming at first, but the first few hours of the game do a good job of introducing things incrementally, so that everything fits together surprisingly well.

Tsuzuki stresses that One Piece Odyssey is meant to be approachable to players that don't typically play JRPGs, and my three hours with the game certainly give me hope it might live up to that dream. There's plenty of complexity for long-time turn-based fans, and plenty of references for One Piece fans. Nevertheless, the game's deliberate approach to its story and systems make it easy to pick up and play. It remains to be seen if its story and systems can remain interesting for dozens of hours, though.

Glowing previews so far

I wish the character movement was a little faster. they look slow moving through the areas

my only fear is that I can accurately follow whats going on. I think I only got up to volume 40 of the manga before i got burnt out.

I’ve been waiting for a good anime licensed rpg for ages. I think Legacy of Goku II was the last one I liked. I’m not sure if Naruto ROAN’s campaign counts as an rpg but I liked that too

I’m pretty cynical of a lot of these Bamco licensed games but everything i see from this just looks solid. It honestly looks like a more engaging (combat wise) Dragon Quest XI.

The open world stuff using your characters unique powers looks good also. IDK, im feeling like this might be the sleeper of this month

Waiting for the reviews on this one as longtime fan of the series I'm hoping it's good
