FINALLY. Thank you so much for your patience. I hope you enjoy this one, I felt extremely passionate about the chosen topic and I hope it shows! I'll be dropping an update video after this one where I'll talk about future plans, including Lost Odyssey Part 2, that I touch on slightly in the video. So expect this at some point in May! (Also, 28:41, I meant Rain Dinner's was Croc's base. Woopsie!) If you liked what you saw, please subscribe and if you REALLY liked it, go pledge on Patreon! It'd be great to see some new names. :) THANK YOU AGAIN, looking forward to having a chat in the Update! - Clemps
Great video, glad to have you back. Oh and One Piece World Seeker is actually quite good. I will be honest I did not finish it, but I rarely finish open world games and more importantly I do not regret playing it. It's a fun open world game where you traverse the world by zooming around via Luffy's rubber powers. Basically it's a budget version of the Spiderman 2 physics.
Coming from a 3D artist, It's genuinely impressive how well they have been able to translate Oda's style into these models. I'm just sorry to hear that the game is... difficult to love
Odyssey feels a bit too dry in the render. I think World Seeker did it better. Cell-shaded looks especially great for how colorful One Piece is known to be.
@PaszerDye it's literally the best looking one piece game consistently and quality wise, for a full price game I prefer that over less quality for slightly truer look, we all complain about full priced anime games
37:20 Funnily enough, Oda confirmed in an interview that the One Piece will be a physical object/treasure because of how much he hates the "the real treasure was the friend we made along the way" trope
I love how when Adio reveals his power to the crew for the first time he INSISTS that "naaah, it's a shit power, really, no believe me, it's really shit it is"
To this day, there's still one moment in One Piece that brings me to tears from the raw emotion it conveys.. Just hearing "I WANT TO LIVE!" makes me bawl my eyes out.
OP has a lot of moments like that for me, but the biggest is probably Brook's flashback while playing Binks' Sake at the end of Thriller Bark. "Well, it would seem we're down to a quartet. ...a trio. ...and, a duet. ... **breaking down** A solo. It isn't right, leaving just the accompaniment."
So many amazing moments like that. The end of the Crocodile fight, the Bell in Skypeia, just amazing moments of hope and triumph like the sun piercing through storm-clouds
Alabasta is absolutely a slog, but I loved everything in the rest of the game after it. Really loved the moment at Water 7 where you examine an island nearby from the shore before entering the city, and everyone wonders whose memory is this since everyone clearly remembers there being no island close - with only Luffy being airheaded about such details, as usual - and then everyone chiming in with "Ah..." was on brand 😀
Dont remeber right but there was also a moment where one said, this place wasnt located here and nami or sanji glanced over to zoro and were like "wonder whose memory was that" XD
If you attempt to do everything in Alabasta shy of the Red Chests you'll spend just as much time in Alabasta as the length of the arc. Its ridiculous how long it is and you can tell they front loaded the game and lost steam over time because the Alabasta Kingdom is ungodly huge for no reason other than its canonically big
Considering the whole thing about following dreams and Luffy's ability to inspire people, I am 100% expecting a "the real one piece is the friends we made along the way" moment, when they see there is no treasure, only to have some slapstick comedy moment knock down a wooden panel and reveal a mountain of gold and jewels.
Oda has confirmed the One Piece is a real, physical treasure... but I absolutely expect it to *symbolic of* "the real treasure is the friends we made along the way". I'll be disappointed if it isn't, even. There's a popular fan theory about exactly what it could be that I won't spoil, because you owe it to yourself to watch Artur, The Library of Ohara's 4-hour (yes really) video laying it out.
No, one piece isn't so simple. It's gonna be something that ties to other things in the story and serves a purpose. You think Roger was "too late" for the magic of friendship? You think the Roger pirates learned everything about the world and its history through what? Friendship? And it won't be ordinary treasure lmao
It has redefined shounen to the point that it is synonymous. Only Dragon Ball truly managed that before. One Piece IS the genre, and how many works of fiction can claim that?
Personal advice: If you're apprehensive about the length of the One Piece anime in its vanilla state and want a specific fan rec, One Pace has been doing wonders for me. Just know that some arcs (especially Skypiea) aren't done in One Pace yet, so you'll need to jump to OP Kai briefly, which has some errors, albeit nothing that I find dealbreaking. Alternatively you could just sub in the vanilla episodes under a watch guide for slightly better consistency
I will likely post this as a stand-alone comment as well, but another option I personally recommend is the manga. While I know 1000 chapters sounds like a lot, i instead recommend people break it down. my recommendation is to try to read around 50 chapters in a week. While still a good chunk of material, I know people who read twice that amount in a week. it works out to less than 10 chapters a day. at 50 chapters a day, you quickly realize you will be able to catch up to one piece in around half a year, which, while still a lot, is far less intimidating to think about.
ikr, i've been rewatching the whole serie with my wife from a onepace/kai mixed playlist and it's now her favorite anime. I myself tried to watch the vanilla version several time but always fell out of it after a few arcs, but this has been a blast.
I haven't seen the anime (other than clips) in years after I made the switch to the manga back in Water 7 so I decided to check out One Pace because of your comment and the video comparisons are blowing my mind. The OG is so slow. I'd still recommend the manga over the anime, but it'd be a shame to miss on all the great music and voice acting, and other good stuff, that I hold dear.
The pacing issues only really set in and become noticeable during Impel Down. I was able to stomach the god awful pace until Dressrosa, which was when I made the switch. So really, anything before Impel Down is still pretty great. And honestly, before I knew they filler arc, I thought all the fillers before the timeskip (except Spa Island) were canon, because they were just that good (to a relative standard) especially G-8. So watching the anime until Impel Down is still pretty solid. And arguably, the way the anime started the story and introduced Luffy is much better than the manga, where it starts out in the middle of the sea as pirates raid a civilian ship, and is a great execution of in media res.
There's an increased player speed mod and difficulty mod for the game. Haven't tried the latter but the former thoroughly improved my experience through the game. You also don't need to fully zoom into 1st person to activate Luffy's grab, makes the action feel somewhat more fluid. Hope you enjoy the game more when you get back to it even if the padding doesn't get much better
I am 48 years old and a moderate manga/anime lover. Last year, I finally tasted "One Piece" and I just loved it: humour, drama, charadesign. So I continued relentlessly (AKA binge-watching). Now I am at the end of Dressrosa arc. While Akira Toriyama is the illustrator and charadesigner of Dragon Quest , as I was watching it, I just didn't understand why there were no JRPG. Now, there is finally after more than 25 years.
I had been meaning to get into this series for like a decade and I finally started binging it a couple years back. That sweet spot of East Blue all the way to Ennis Lobby is some of the most joyous I've experienced in an anime. Pacing slows to a crawl from then on and I pretty much gave up on the anime during Whole Cake, but I still have nothing but fondness for the series and plan to jump back into Wano with how gorgeous the production looks. WE ARE!!
I'm currently at the tail end of Whole Cake and I gotta say, I'm really enjoying myself so far. Admittedly I'm watching an edited version just to help speed up the anime's pacing because oh man you can see the anime stretching (hah hah) for time with some episodes. But the biggest consistent detriment to my enjoyment when it comes to One Piece is how Oda has unfortunately gotten weaker about how he's written his female characters. Dressrosa was painful at times when it came to its writing of Rebecca and how she was not allowed to impact the plot in any meaningful way. And what makes it worse is that Oda used to be really good about writing his female characters with more depth and agency like with Nami, Robin, and ViVi. I will say, Carrot has been an absolute joy to watch so maybe it was just something he struggled with for Dressrosa and the previous timeskip arcs but I don't know if it gets better or worse from where I'm at.
As a big fan of the series and someone who did finish Odyssey: The original parts of its story are quite good and specifically the Marineford and Dressrosa Memorias were great, but the first half of the game is generally a slog and it doesn't really put up a challenge (unless you forget to upgrade your equipment / cook revival items like I did until the Tower of Law). I'm hoping that the devs take some good feedback for the dlc and recreate the Eneru face meme
I feel the same way, i hope they patch in some hard modes. Id love to be forced to use some strategy in this game because i loved everything else about it
@@PA__san Spoiler i especialy loved it when corazon showed up and we fought together with law. Their team attack is gold. THis is the fanservice i want from such games.
Great to have you back, Clemps. I really enjoyed this video. I used to be into One Piece years ago, but I did fall out of it over time. At this point, I probably won't get back into it but I appreciate you talking about why you love the manga/anime. It
Honestly speaking, if it turned out One Piece was a giant troll move the guy did just to get back at the Navy I honestly think Luffy would still find the Positive even in that. Even if it was a lie, I think Luffy would still smile saying it brought him many adventures and it gave him friends that are irreplicable. And he managed to not only help people along the way but also made the world just a lil better for everyone, and this is coming from someone who isn't even a fan of the series.
well, whitebeard did confirm that the one piece... THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAAAAAAAAAAAL ! ...but even them, it's one of the few instances where I would actually appreciate the trope "the real treasure was the friend we made along the way" kinda bullshit.
One Piece is still my favourite shonen serie ever. I remember getting into it back in elementary school when it was running on tv and I stil love it like twenty years later, even if I don´t consistently keep up with the manga. Oda is one of my major inspirations when it comes to world building and the sheer amount of effort and detail that go into it.
Mfers really out here crying at one piece scenes where Hamburger Johnson of the Ham ham fleet gives a speech about love an equality whilst Salad man of the bad salad gang tries to kill him because someone poured hot water on him as a child.
Haha, saw Clemps liked the comment, got excited, noticed I misspelled something, edited it to fix, like goes away 😅 oh well. Anyway in case if ya see this Clemps, great vid! Keep up the great work! You're one of a handful of UA-camrs I would call S tier. Been watching since you were on the Super Best Friend Cast! Anyway, I'm 20 chapters in and they just beat Buggy and have the map. I'm sure finding one piece is right around the corner!
Sounds like the memorable/nostalgic main attraction of visiting old memories only served to have you say "Yea I remember these people and places" but slowed down any kind of main plot during that time.
With book depository closing I ended up ordering the latest 30 volumes of the manga to get my collection up to speed, and I’ve just started re reading the series. Real nice trip down memory lane but hoo boy…it’s gonna take me a long while to catch up. Video was great! Had my suspicions that the padding and difficulty were the game’s Achilles heel…
I love One Piece. I loved anime games when I was younger. But a thought that nagged at me even then was the exhaustion I felt playing through the Namek arc, then the Android arc, then the Cell Games arc for the 13th time. And that was how much those games could actually do with the properties they had and how comparatively little they actually did with them. I had sworn off those games cause of how disappointed I felt, but this game drew me in. Partially cause I'm a OP mark and partially cause maybe they actually pulled it off. They didn't. What I will say is how I noticed that we stopped at exactly the same point. Right after you get the smaller crab and cross the sand lake. I just couldn't anymore. Great video!!
i've recently started watching one piece with my best friend and we're now halfway through skypiea and loving it. having someone to talk to during the slower moments is doing wonders.
One Piece is my undisputed favorite manga of all time, and a strong contender for my favorite story of all time. I won't claim to love it more than anyone else, because that would be silly, but to me, its one of the greatest treasures in my life. So with that said, I was really hoping you were going to tell me about how imaginative and interesting this setting is and how its one of the best non-canon adventures the Straw Hats have ever been on. Now, seeing that its just another case of "this anime game is just the canon story, but remixed to be not as good" for large chunks of it really sucks.
Great to see another fantastic video, I occasionally rewatch some of your videos because I really enjoy how you talk about games and you've introduced me to some series I really love. I got Fuga: Melodies of Steel a while back after your video introduced me to it and I have finally been playing and loving it in prep for it's sequel's release next week.
Im glad I wasn't the only one that felt this way. If they had just told an original story with old islands as the backdrop, I probably would've liked it more. I couldn't even make it out of Alabasta. I think the moment that broke me was the whole walking up to the cave and then making me walk all the way back to do nothing and then walking to the cave again was what got me. I also appreciate that the characters acknowledge that they're in a memory but, the fact that they just forget certain things like the crab mover for no reason other than to pad the gameplay? Why????
I think if you're not a classical RPG fan this game will kill you. And when I saw classical RPG I mean the style overall and pacing. Albasta's pacing is the worst for sure but I think if you're trying to complete the game. Find all the cubes, obtain all red chests, do all side quests, as well as complete all of Robin's info finds that pacing destroys you. By the time I completed the game I wanted to grind to LV 70 and defeat all of the Super boss memories but I just...couldn't. I was just done with the game. Since it was done with me. I hate to compare this game to DQ11 but its about as close in tone as you can get to it and of course it'll never measure up to that gameplay loop but that game had a way of keeping me going. Even if the latter time travel portion is a lot retreading between new abilities, expanding story segments, ways to min-Max BEFORE encountering the last boss I was able to find some enjoyment even in the sloggest part. Drustan's Dungeon being repeated 5 times in a row was a perfect example of this. Considering Waford was treated more of a back drop and probably 1/8th of your overall time with the game by the time I beat the game I just didn't care anymore
@@Monty2289 i've played my fair share of classical turn-based RPGs. One Piece Odyssey is so mindless i was able to grind to level 30 in the demo and carry that progression into the full game. I would honestly much rather trudge through World Seeker again. If they made a game like that with better controls, i think that would be the best a One Piece game can offer: original story, open world, action combat, etc. It had all the ingredients, just couldn't deliver
One Piece Lost Odyssey. That's it, that's the comment. Jk, loved the video!! Your content is always worth the wait, no matter how long it takes. One Piece is such a wonderful series, it's a shame not a lot of games can capture the same magic like the anime / manga does.
i played through the whole game. It was extremely painful at times. But my love of one piece helped me pushed through. the little moments throughout and the ost helps. But oh boy, i am too old to deal with padding anymore.
Hello Clemps, I love your channel and have been watching since the days of your collabs with SuperBestFriends. I have only one complaint, which I hope is tempered by how much I appreciate your analyses (especially about the Nier/Drakengard games, which I credit with a deeper understanding that I personally gained on transhumanist narrative and the dichotomy of hope and despair): You said, "the second colossi." Colossi would be the plural, and, as an English teacher, this sentence should instead read, "the second colossus." Otherwise, even as someone who bounced off of 4Kids One Piece twenty years ago, this was a delightfully entertaining video. Keep up the wonderful work!
Happy to see another great video and from my favorite manga series no less! Checked out the demo for Odyssey a while back and...yeah it seems neat but retreading story arcs we see in every other game is a bit of a bummer, but that's licensed games for ya I guess.
One Piece is one of those shows that I've tried to get into several times, but I just keep falling off and I couldn't tell you why. This may have convinced me to give it another shot. We'll see if I manage to stay on board this time.
Odyssey sounds like the anime: the game. Plenty of potential, bogged down by padding and flashbacks. I dream of the day we get a good OP game without any caveats. Where the devs are allowed to design new outfits instead of those goddamn Fishman Island threads. Where the game isn't just a retread of familiar ground with fan-favourite characters randomly inserted into the story for no reason. Maybe when the series is over we can have that freedom.
I'm on the last chapter of the game & have enjoyed it over all but I feel like they dropped the ball in one particular segment. *SPOILERS* I feel it would've been much better if Ace was "rescued" at the end of Marineford. We should've rescued him this go around & then they could've really twisted the knife by having the crew escape to Memoria & once they're there Ace would either: A) Simply be gone once they all get back to Memoria; everyone looks around to find him missing because he's just a manifestion of a memory that can't exist beyond the Marineford segment. Glad we "saved this version of him but we're left with a hollow victory. B) everyone's there, including Ace; the crew just rolls with it, why question a good thing? They throw one of there parties where they all happily banter, with him expressing his gratitude to everyone & how proud he is of his baby brother's huge leap in strength but then a few minutes into the scene, he abruptly starts to disappear (like Corazon in Dressrosa). He's not understanding what's going on, crewmates frantically turning to Lim to ask if she can stop/fix what's going on but she'll be too out of her depth to even give an explanation & Luffy will lose him all over again, even after saving him. An arguably more painful scenario. C) OR my personal preference; have it play out like scenario B but ultimately nothing happens. He's just somehow still around to everyone's confusion, especially Lim's & have him join the crew for the remainder of the game. Have him pick up on the details of the situation he's now in & learn that he's a manifestion of a memory & once the previously mentioned Corazon bit wraps up, Ace could hang back to ask Lim "is that what's going to happen to me?" with her responding with "I don't know" & have that weigh on his mind for the remainder of the game & at the end pull a FFX with him disappear after coming to terms that he's not the real Ace but being content with having been able to help his brother along his journey before saying goodbye to Luffy (again). Just IMAGINE the interactions with Sabo in the Dressrosa segment! Ace reuniting with the brother he thought was long dead (& now has his Devil Fruit), Sabo getting to see the the brother he knows to be dead and Luffy having both his big brothers back, for just awhile at least. All three boys together again. OMG, that would've been amazing fan fiction BS right there, lol! 🥲 ANYTHING would've been better than him getting hit with a stray off screen fireball to then just fall over & smolder to death in a jank, lackluster animation with everyone just going "... OK, gotta go!" like it was no big deal. It left me going "wait, that's it? THAT'S IT?!" & I had to stop playing for a few days due to how anticlimactic it was. 😩 Like I said, I dig the game over all but the fumbling of the revisit to Marineford really took the wind out of my sails.
as a lifelong fan of the manga for 22 years, (fan of the anime, films, and critique of the live action bleach, fma, specially the cowboy bebop netflix showings) all the luck to the netflix live action one piece series with source manga author helping out - expectations very low but very open to being subverted.
The best way to enjoy one piece imo is the fan reedited anime like one pace that remove all the fats and stay closer to the manga. Get the best of both worlds that way.
Can't wait to watch this, I love one piece I've always felt that the light-hearted nature of the show enables it to tackle infinitely darker subject matters. Because you're laughing at two dudes crashing into another dude one minute, it has the emotional currency to then turn around and kill one of those characters later. It can have an arc about the main characters wanting something delicious to eat immediately after an arc about systemic racism It's wonderful, it's everything anime should be
Many of my coworkers keep asking me to watch it so there's another to join in with their conversations but free time isn't exactly something I get much of nowadays.
i've litereally just restarted watching this series, i read the mange for a while but stopped due to adhd and with my current job it's fine to have it sorta on the background until i catch up to where i was
It's really unfortunate that so many One Piece games do the story retread. Unlimited World Red did the same thing and while it did work for me as a lapsed fan and lover of games that feel like they came off the ps2, it is tiresome that they don't just settle on an original story for a whole game. This video kicked my "I should get back to reading One Piece" into gear again though, so great job!!
I remember being ~ten years old watching choppers introduction arc on toonami, being insanely confused, trying to watch ftom the beginning online, seeing how far behind I was and thinking: "ill just watch the whole thing when its done." Welp
I started reading One Piece a few months ago but with the job getting super busy I haven't been able to keep going. Thanks to this though, I'm going to try to watch it ;w; thank you!!!
OPO could have been so much more one odd thing is that they did not use cel shading to make it look more animated but tried this semi real graphical style wich looks uncanny in places. But it was a good excuse for Clemps to talk aoput One Piece wich is an automatic win ( great stuff Clemps, + if you want to branch out into One piece videos or anime in general that would be most welcome)
My brother had similar fellings. He really loves one piece but hates playing RPG's He loves playing the Warrior games but had the same fellings you did on the way the game plays. He gotto water seven and the RPG elements just brought his expierience all the way down. He loved wathcing me play tho so still had a way to enjoy it.
Hey! Loved the video. I hate to admit this as a huge OP fan myself (even a co-host of an OP-themed podcast), but I dropped the game at nearly the EXACT place as you, only stopping as soon as Water 7 began in the game. Same as you: despite absolutely loving One Piece, the pacing of the missions and the lack of narrative creativity within the established rules of Odyssey (at least in Arabasta) got me burnt out. I intend to finish the game at some point for the pod, buuuuu~uuut it drained my excitement a bit. Great job on this, BTW! You've come a long way since your Drakengard vids!
I'm glad I made the right call on Odyssey. I played the demo and it seemed good but from what I played of the first chapter it looked like they front loaded a lot of the newer things. This game along with a lot of other One Piece media that I don't like in recent time is this need to revisit moments and Arcs of the past. I understand that One Piece is very long and people who were watching/reading 20 years ago might not remember everything or people picked it up recently and skipped ahead to see what's current. It's this constant need to revisit and fear of doing anything new that especially in the video games that's getting annoying. Also the tiring use of the Fishman Island arc outfits even through the Straw Hats haven't worn those outfits in about...10 years now. I understand from a game design pov it's easier to use the marketable outfits and modeling them is much easier but still. It's One Piece, it's one of the most imaginative series ever made. You'd think game designers would use the world and characters in fun and interesting ways but nah let's just revisit a bunch of popular moments.
as someone who recently watched a different review of One Piece by someone I won't name out of respect, I couldn't finish that review because it just really felt to me that the reviewer just kinda missed the point of a lot of things with the story, it always warms my heart to see people wh oget it, and I don't expect everyone to understand that no matter how shonen One PIece ever gets, what makes it so gripping and enjoyable and masterful to me is just how much I love the characters and how their bonds is what makes and breaks so many stories
@@jartism I will neither confirm or deny out of respect, but if you've seen it, you'll know, I understand their criticisms, but I do think it largely misses th piont of the appeal of the series, but, hey, some people just don't find those appealing or look for those in shonen, I get it
I think he'd love One Piece World Seeker, considering the visuals are just as good, the story is solid, and there is an ok challenge to the game. Probably don't play the dlc though. Not really worth the price.
I've tried watching One Pace but it took out too many little things out of that the anime did that I liked. A good ol fast forward button and filler list is enough for me but if you do care about being as ACURATE AS POSSIBLE then yeah go for One Pace! I kinda want a version of One Pace that just removes the non canon stuff and reduce the recaps/flashbacks to a normal understandable amount. Kinda sad to see an emotional scene and think in the back of your head I am going to see this repeated over and over for the rest of the arc.
I will go ahead and say that things get more streamlined around the time that you stopped. But another reason to finish the game is that DLC was announced last month, that includes more story content. I don't know all the details (I don't even think a date has been reveled), but apparently it takes place after the main story and involves going back into memoria and experiencing scenarios where things take a drastic turn into the "what if" territory. It also involves facing off ageist past foes that weren't encountered in the game like Enel
I am at that point where you left, though I will not leave it, cz my game is Modded with Run Speed Increased. Visually it really is a great game for One Piece. The producer said : "Players will touch the world of One Piece", and I do see that, getting screenshots of every good detail. The world is built great, I am even getting easter eggs of Sun Pirates in the game..like Alabasta Flag is a Sun symbol. I have rewatched OP as well, so we are similar, just am a free Working guy and you are a CC. 8/10 rating from me so far. Min would be 7.5
Glad i wasn't alone on this. My GF bought me the game cause she knows I like One Piece. I tried to give it a good go, but for the same reasons you mentioned, I just couldn't push through. Retreading old ground is just... not exciting.
FINALLY.
Thank you so much for your patience. I hope you enjoy this one, I felt extremely passionate about the chosen topic and I hope it shows! I'll be dropping an update video after this one where I'll talk about future plans, including Lost Odyssey Part 2, that I touch on slightly in the video. So expect this at some point in May!

Great video, glad to have you back.
Oh and One Piece World Seeker is actually quite good. I will be honest I did not finish it, but I rarely finish open world games and more importantly I do not regret playing it.
It's a fun open world game where you traverse the world by zooming around via Luffy's rubber powers. Basically it's a budget version of the Spiderman 2 physics.
Great to hear your take...although I despised that game.
Here's 40 minutes of why I love Yoko Ono. 😅
I love your content in general, and finding out you made a One Piece video too was such a treat. Thank you for being fantastic as always
Coming from a 3D artist, It's genuinely impressive how well they have been able to translate Oda's style into these models. I'm just sorry to hear that the game is... difficult to love
Odyssey feels a bit too dry in the render. I think World Seeker did it better. Cell-shaded looks especially great for how colorful One Piece is known to be.
@PaszerDye it's literally the best looking one piece game consistently and quality wise, for a full price game I prefer that over less quality for slightly truer look, we all complain about full priced anime games
Do you take commission?
Just want to clarify that when luffy beat Bellamy. That was literally the only hit he had ever bothered throwing against him. One punch.
And Luffy didn’t even bother using his Devil fruit powers, the guy wasn’t even worth that, Luffy just punches him regularly and knocks him out
I recently read this part. Wasn't this also foreshadowed with Bellamy punching out a weaker pirate at the beginning of the arc?
37:20 Funnily enough, Oda confirmed in an interview that the One Piece will be a physical object/treasure because of how much he hates the "the real treasure was the friend we made along the way" trope
i mean also the oden journal confirmed it but yeah i always say one of the only spoilers that matters is that the one piece is real, unironically
I love how when Adio reveals his power to the crew for the first time he INSISTS that "naaah, it's a shit power, really, no believe me, it's really shit it is"
To this day, there's still one moment in One Piece that brings me to tears from the raw emotion it conveys.. Just hearing "I WANT TO LIVE!" makes me bawl my eyes out.
OP has a lot of moments like that for me, but the biggest is probably Brook's flashback while playing Binks' Sake at the end of Thriller Bark.
"Well, it would seem we're down to a quartet.
...a trio.
...and, a duet.
...
**breaking down** A solo. It isn't right, leaving just the accompaniment."
So many amazing moments like that. The end of the Crocodile fight, the Bell in Skypeia, just amazing moments of hope and triumph like the sun piercing through storm-clouds
For me, that’s Nami stabbing her tattoo repeatedly and then asking him for help.
Alabasta is absolutely a slog, but I loved everything in the rest of the game after it.
Really loved the moment at Water 7 where you examine an island nearby from the shore before entering the city, and everyone wonders whose memory is this since everyone clearly remembers there being no island close - with only Luffy being airheaded about such details, as usual - and then everyone chiming in with "Ah..." was on brand 😀
Dont remeber right but there was also a moment where one said, this place wasnt located here and nami or sanji glanced over to zoro and were like "wonder whose memory was that" XD
Why is Alabasta a slog in every one piece game
If you attempt to do everything in Alabasta shy of the Red Chests you'll spend just as much time in Alabasta as the length of the arc.
Its ridiculous how long it is and you can tell they front loaded the game and lost steam over time because the Alabasta Kingdom is ungodly huge for no reason other than its canonically big
Considering the whole thing about following dreams and Luffy's ability to inspire people, I am 100% expecting a "the real one piece is the friends we made along the way" moment, when they see there is no treasure, only to have some slapstick comedy moment knock down a wooden panel and reveal a mountain of gold and jewels.
You’d think right but Oda in an interview confirmed it’s a real thing
Oda has confirmed the One Piece is a real, physical treasure... but I absolutely expect it to *symbolic of* "the real treasure is the friends we made along the way". I'll be disappointed if it isn't, even. There's a popular fan theory about exactly what it could be that I won't spoil, because you owe it to yourself to watch Artur, The Library of Ohara's 4-hour (yes really) video laying it out.
No, one piece isn't so simple. It's gonna be something that ties to other things in the story and serves a purpose. You think Roger was "too late" for the magic of friendship? You think the Roger pirates learned everything about the world and its history through what? Friendship? And it won't be ordinary treasure lmao
Its going to be that and more
It better be silly
In 1000 years, One Piece will be talked about alongside things like The Odyssey and Mahabharata as one of the great epics of human history.
It has redefined shounen to the point that it is synonymous. Only Dragon Ball truly managed that before. One Piece IS the genre, and how many works of fiction can claim that?
I feel like I got baited when I saw odyssey but it’s ONE PIECE so its a fair trade 😂
Personal advice: If you're apprehensive about the length of the One Piece anime in its vanilla state and want a specific fan rec, One Pace has been doing wonders for me. Just know that some arcs (especially Skypiea) aren't done in One Pace yet, so you'll need to jump to OP Kai briefly, which has some errors, albeit nothing that I find dealbreaking. Alternatively you could just sub in the vanilla episodes under a watch guide for slightly better consistency
I will likely post this as a stand-alone comment as well, but another option I personally recommend is the manga. While I know 1000 chapters sounds like a lot, i instead recommend people break it down.
my recommendation is to try to read around 50 chapters in a week. While still a good chunk of material, I know people who read twice that amount in a week. it works out to less than 10 chapters a day. at 50 chapters a day, you quickly realize you will be able to catch up to one piece in around half a year, which, while still a lot, is far less intimidating to think about.
@@krvys7226 Yeah I mean specifically for those that want the anime. The manga is still a fantastic go to
ikr, i've been rewatching the whole serie with my wife from a onepace/kai mixed playlist and it's now her favorite anime. I myself tried to watch the vanilla version several time but always fell out of it after a few arcs, but this has been a blast.
I haven't seen the anime (other than clips) in years after I made the switch to the manga back in Water 7 so I decided to check out One Pace because of your comment and the video comparisons are blowing my mind. The OG is so slow.
I'd still recommend the manga over the anime, but it'd be a shame to miss on all the great music and voice acting, and other good stuff, that I hold dear.
The pacing issues only really set in and become noticeable during Impel Down. I was able to stomach the god awful pace until Dressrosa, which was when I made the switch. So really, anything before Impel Down is still pretty great. And honestly, before I knew they filler arc, I thought all the fillers before the timeskip (except Spa Island) were canon, because they were just that good (to a relative standard) especially G-8. So watching the anime until Impel Down is still pretty solid. And arguably, the way the anime started the story and introduced Luffy is much better than the manga, where it starts out in the middle of the sea as pirates raid a civilian ship, and is a great execution of in media res.
There's an increased player speed mod and difficulty mod for the game. Haven't tried the latter but the former thoroughly improved my experience through the game. You also don't need to fully zoom into 1st person to activate Luffy's grab, makes the action feel somewhat more fluid. Hope you enjoy the game more when you get back to it even if the padding doesn't get much better
"All the movies are non-canon", he says as he shows a movie that's possibly the most canon
I am 48 years old and a moderate manga/anime lover. Last year, I finally tasted "One Piece" and I just loved it: humour, drama, charadesign. So I continued relentlessly (AKA binge-watching). Now I am at the end of Dressrosa arc. While Akira Toriyama is the illustrator and charadesigner of Dragon Quest , as I was watching it, I just didn't understand why there were no JRPG. Now, there is finally after more than 25 years.
I had been meaning to get into this series for like a decade and I finally started binging it a couple years back. That sweet spot of East Blue all the way to Ennis Lobby is some of the most joyous I've experienced in an anime. Pacing slows to a crawl from then on and I pretty much gave up on the anime during Whole Cake, but I still have nothing but fondness for the series and plan to jump back into Wano with how gorgeous the production looks. WE ARE!!
please dont skip it
wci is contender for the best written arc in the series
maybe consider swapping to the manga till wano or permanently
@@Noponis I'm definitely going to binge it at some point :😀
I swapped to watching the one pace fan edits and it made the later arcs a lot more watchable. They're really good.
I swapped to One Pace, starting with Punk Hazzard, and I’ve been enjoying every arc, since.
“If this is a world with Looney Tune-like properties then he’s the Toon!”
…Shishishishishi…
I'm currently at the tail end of Whole Cake and I gotta say, I'm really enjoying myself so far. Admittedly I'm watching an edited version just to help speed up the anime's pacing because oh man you can see the anime stretching (hah hah) for time with some episodes.
But the biggest consistent detriment to my enjoyment when it comes to One Piece is how Oda has unfortunately gotten weaker about how he's written his female characters. Dressrosa was painful at times when it came to its writing of Rebecca and how she was not allowed to impact the plot in any meaningful way. And what makes it worse is that Oda used to be really good about writing his female characters with more depth and agency like with Nami, Robin, and ViVi.
I will say, Carrot has been an absolute joy to watch so maybe it was just something he struggled with for Dressrosa and the previous timeskip arcs but I don't know if it gets better or worse from where I'm at.
As a big fan of the series and someone who did finish Odyssey: The original parts of its story are quite good and specifically the Marineford and Dressrosa Memorias were great, but the first half of the game is generally a slog and it doesn't really put up a challenge (unless you forget to upgrade your equipment / cook revival items like I did until the Tower of Law). I'm hoping that the devs take some good feedback for the dlc and recreate the Eneru face meme
I feel the same way, i hope they patch in some hard modes. Id love to be forced to use some strategy in this game because i loved everything else about it
@@PA__san Spoiler i especialy loved it when corazon showed up and we fought together with law. Their team attack is gold. THis is the fanservice i want from such games.
@KurosakiRuka To be honest any scene with Law I think is perfect :P so yes totally agreed!
@@PA__san There are some mods for difficulty and run speed. Doesn't excuse things, but just sayin'.
New channel video!! Been missing you Zeke
Great to have you back, Clemps. I really enjoyed this video. I used to be into One Piece years ago, but I did fall out of it over time. At this point, I probably won't get back into it but I appreciate you talking about why you love the manga/anime. It
My only.issue with One Piece Odyssey is the implications that the Sunny broke when it's made of Adam wood
Honestly speaking, if it turned out One Piece was a giant troll move the guy did just to get back at the Navy I honestly think Luffy would still find the Positive even in that. Even if it was a lie, I think Luffy would still smile saying it brought him many adventures and it gave him friends that are irreplicable. And he managed to not only help people along the way but also made the world just a lil better for everyone, and this is coming from someone who isn't even a fan of the series.
well, whitebeard did confirm that the one piece... THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAAAAAAAAAAAL !
...but even them, it's one of the few instances where I would actually appreciate the trope "the real treasure was the friend we made along the way" kinda bullshit.
You never cease to entertain and inform, Clempsy. Thank you so much for the vid! The game does look gorgeous, maybe it's time to try DQXIS
Would just like to thank you for every shot of Nami and Nico
One Piece is still my favourite shonen serie ever. I remember getting into it back in elementary school when it was running on tv and I stil love it like twenty years later, even if I don´t consistently keep up with the manga. Oda is one of my major inspirations when it comes to world building and the sheer amount of effort and detail that go into it.
Started one piece early 2021 and finished it November of the same year, I'm all caught up and can't wait for the next chapter
Mfers really out here crying at one piece scenes where Hamburger Johnson of the Ham ham fleet gives a speech about love an equality whilst Salad man of the bad salad gang tries to kill him because someone poured hot water on him as a child.
I’ve been reading one piece and loving it as much as ever
Ok clemps! You convinced me. Starting from chapter 1 now! See you in 5 years when i catch up!
Haha, saw Clemps liked the comment, got excited, noticed I misspelled something, edited it to fix, like goes away 😅 oh well. Anyway in case if ya see this Clemps, great vid! Keep up the great work! You're one of a handful of UA-camrs I would call S tier. Been watching since you were on the Super Best Friend Cast! Anyway, I'm 20 chapters in and they just beat Buggy and have the map. I'm sure finding one piece is right around the corner!
Woo Clemps my boy, really looking forward to watching this one!
Sounds like the memorable/nostalgic main attraction of visiting old memories only served to have you say "Yea I remember these people and places" but slowed down any kind of main plot during that time.
With book depository closing I ended up ordering the latest 30 volumes of the manga to get my collection up to speed, and I’ve just started re reading the series. Real nice trip down memory lane but hoo boy…it’s gonna take me a long while to catch up. Video was great! Had my suspicions that the padding and difficulty were the game’s Achilles heel…
25:56
The Keyblade really sells the point of dreading a game with memory versions of a story you JUST went through. XD
Wow they really just wrote my boy brook out huh? XD
I love One Piece. I loved anime games when I was younger. But a thought that nagged at me even then was the exhaustion I felt playing through the Namek arc, then the Android arc, then the Cell Games arc for the 13th time. And that was how much those games could actually do with the properties they had and how comparatively little they actually did with them. I had sworn off those games cause of how disappointed I felt, but this game drew me in. Partially cause I'm a OP mark and partially cause maybe they actually pulled it off. They didn't.
What I will say is how I noticed that we stopped at exactly the same point. Right after you get the smaller crab and cross the sand lake. I just couldn't anymore.
Great video!!
Let’s gooooo i missed this guy
i've recently started watching one piece with my best friend and we're now halfway through skypiea and loving it. having someone to talk to during the slower moments is doing wonders.
One Piece is my undisputed favorite manga of all time, and a strong contender for my favorite story of all time. I won't claim to love it more than anyone else, because that would be silly, but to me, its one of the greatest treasures in my life.
So with that said, I was really hoping you were going to tell me about how imaginative and interesting this setting is and how its one of the best non-canon adventures the Straw Hats have ever been on. Now, seeing that its just another case of "this anime game is just the canon story, but remixed to be not as good" for large chunks of it really sucks.
Great to see another fantastic video, I occasionally rewatch some of your videos because I really enjoy how you talk about games and you've introduced me to some series I really love.
I got Fuga: Melodies of Steel a while back after your video introduced me to it and I have finally been playing and loving it in prep for it's sequel's release next week.
Im glad I wasn't the only one that felt this way. If they had just told an original story with old islands as the backdrop, I probably would've liked it more. I couldn't even make it out of Alabasta. I think the moment that broke me was the whole walking up to the cave and then making me walk all the way back to do nothing and then walking to the cave again was what got me. I also appreciate that the characters acknowledge that they're in a memory but, the fact that they just forget certain things like the crab mover for no reason other than to pad the gameplay? Why????
I think if you're not a classical RPG fan this game will kill you. And when I saw classical RPG I mean the style overall and pacing. Albasta's pacing is the worst for sure but I think if you're trying to complete the game. Find all the cubes, obtain all red chests, do all side quests, as well as complete all of Robin's info finds that pacing destroys you.
By the time I completed the game I wanted to grind to LV 70 and defeat all of the Super boss memories but I just...couldn't. I was just done with the game. Since it was done with me.
I hate to compare this game to DQ11 but its about as close in tone as you can get to it and of course it'll never measure up to that gameplay loop but that game had a way of keeping me going. Even if the latter time travel portion is a lot retreading between new abilities, expanding story segments, ways to min-Max BEFORE encountering the last boss I was able to find some enjoyment even in the sloggest part. Drustan's Dungeon being repeated 5 times in a row was a perfect example of this.
Considering Waford was treated more of a back drop and probably 1/8th of your overall time with the game by the time I beat the game I just didn't care anymore
@@Monty2289 i've played my fair share of classical turn-based RPGs. One Piece Odyssey is so mindless i was able to grind to level 30 in the demo and carry that progression into the full game. I would honestly much rather trudge through World Seeker again. If they made a game like that with better controls, i think that would be the best a One Piece game can offer: original story, open world, action combat, etc. It had all the ingredients, just couldn't deliver
One Piece Lost Odyssey.
That's it, that's the comment.
Jk, loved the video!! Your content is always worth the wait, no matter how long it takes. One Piece is such a wonderful series, it's a shame not a lot of games can capture the same magic like the anime / manga does.
I have seen so so much one piece, and I'm still playing catch up, as in I still have hundreds of episodes to enjoy for the first time
i played through the whole game. It was extremely painful at times. But my love of one piece helped me pushed through. the little moments throughout and the ost helps. But oh boy, i am too old to deal with padding anymore.
Hello Clemps, I love your channel and have been watching since the days of your collabs with SuperBestFriends. I have only one complaint, which I hope is tempered by how much I appreciate your analyses (especially about the Nier/Drakengard games, which I credit with a deeper understanding that I personally gained on transhumanist narrative and the dichotomy of hope and despair):
You said, "the second colossi." Colossi would be the plural, and, as an English teacher, this sentence should instead read, "the second colossus." Otherwise, even as someone who bounced off of 4Kids One Piece twenty years ago, this was a delightfully entertaining video. Keep up the wonderful work!
"One Piece" was the friends we made along the way.
A quote that will always pull all of my heart strings is Ace saying thank you for loving me
Happy to see another great video and from my favorite manga series no less! Checked out the demo for Odyssey a while back and...yeah it seems neat but retreading story arcs we see in every other game is a bit of a bummer, but that's licensed games for ya I guess.
It's good to see a video from you again. I'd like to hear you humor more often. I should watch your streams. 😅
One Piece is one of those shows that I've tried to get into several times, but I just keep falling off and I couldn't tell you why. This may have convinced me to give it another shot. We'll see if I manage to stay on board this time.
Odyssey sounds like the anime: the game. Plenty of potential, bogged down by padding and flashbacks.
I dream of the day we get a good OP game without any caveats. Where the devs are allowed to design new outfits instead of those goddamn Fishman Island threads. Where the game isn't just a retread of familiar ground with fan-favourite characters randomly inserted into the story for no reason.
Maybe when the series is over we can have that freedom.
I've been passing the time since the last video rewatching all your old video and everyone on the twitch archive channel. Love all the content ❤
I'm on the last chapter of the game & have enjoyed it over all but I feel like they dropped the ball in one particular segment.
*SPOILERS*
I feel it would've been much better if Ace was "rescued" at the end of Marineford.
We should've rescued him this go around & then they could've really twisted the knife by having the crew escape to Memoria & once they're there Ace would either:
A) Simply be gone once they all get back to Memoria; everyone looks around to find him missing because he's just a manifestion of a memory that can't exist beyond the Marineford segment. Glad we "saved this version of him but we're left with a hollow victory.
B) everyone's there, including Ace; the crew just rolls with it, why question a good thing? They throw one of there parties where they all happily banter, with him expressing his gratitude to everyone & how proud he is of his baby brother's huge leap in strength but then a few minutes into the scene, he abruptly starts to disappear (like Corazon in Dressrosa). He's not understanding what's going on, crewmates frantically turning to Lim to ask if she can stop/fix what's going on but she'll be too out of her depth to even give an explanation & Luffy will lose him all over again, even after saving him. An arguably more painful scenario.
C) OR my personal preference; have it play out like scenario B but ultimately nothing happens. He's just somehow still around to everyone's confusion, especially Lim's & have him join the crew for the remainder of the game. Have him pick up on the details of the situation he's now in & learn that he's a manifestion of a memory & once the previously mentioned Corazon bit wraps up, Ace could hang back to ask Lim "is that what's going to happen to me?" with her responding with "I don't know" & have that weigh on his mind for the remainder of the game & at the end pull a FFX with him disappear after coming to terms that he's not the real Ace but being content with having been able to help his brother along his journey before saying goodbye to Luffy (again). Just IMAGINE the interactions with Sabo in the Dressrosa segment! Ace reuniting with the brother he thought was long dead (& now has his Devil Fruit), Sabo getting to see the the brother he knows to be dead and Luffy having both his big brothers back, for just awhile at least. All three boys together again. OMG, that would've been amazing fan fiction BS right there, lol! 🥲
ANYTHING would've been better than him getting hit with a stray off screen fireball to then just fall over & smolder to death in a jank, lackluster animation with everyone just going "... OK, gotta go!" like it was no big deal. It left me going "wait, that's it? THAT'S IT?!" & I had to stop playing for a few days due to how anticlimactic it was. 😩
Like I said, I dig the game over all but the fumbling of the revisit to Marineford really took the wind out of my sails.
"If I had a 1000 children do you think I could love them all? No!"
Clemps out here living the Big Mom lifestyle 😂
I dropped it after the Croc fight. I CAN NOT believe they immediately make you go back to Alabasta lmao
THE BMASK BIT HAD ME ROLLING.
FISH PEOPLE.
Everyday I wake up, I’m grateful to be alive at the same time as Oda 🙏🏼
as a lifelong fan of the manga for 22 years, (fan of the anime, films, and critique of the live action bleach, fma, specially the cowboy bebop netflix showings) all the luck to the netflix live action one piece series with source manga author helping out - expectations very low but very open to being subverted.
UNCLE CLEMPS IS BACK BABYYYYY
So glad to see you again!
The best way to enjoy one piece imo is the fan reedited anime like one pace that remove all the fats and stay closer to the manga. Get the best of both worlds that way.
Can't wait to watch this, I love one piece
I've always felt that the light-hearted nature of the show enables it to tackle infinitely darker subject matters. Because you're laughing at two dudes crashing into another dude one minute, it has the emotional currency to then turn around and kill one of those characters later.
It can have an arc about the main characters wanting something delicious to eat immediately after an arc about systemic racism
It's wonderful, it's everything anime should be
Damn was just getting into One Piece so amazing timing
HELP literally 20 seconds into the video already had me laughing. GOOD SHIT
Many of my coworkers keep asking me to watch it so there's another to join in with their conversations but free time isn't exactly something I get much of nowadays.
i've litereally just restarted watching this series, i read the mange for a while but stopped due to adhd and with my current job it's fine to have it sorta on the background until i catch up to where i was
15 minutes into the video "skipping right to it"
I forgot I was even watching a video game review lol
For the algorithm the great computer of the sky
i freaking love one piece i've been on this train for a long time and i can't wait to get to THE one piece treasure
I really appreciate the excellent video. It confirmed that I am morbidly uninterested in One Piece, but still a very good video.
It's really unfortunate that so many One Piece games do the story retread. Unlimited World Red did the same thing and while it did work for me as a lapsed fan and lover of games that feel like they came off the ps2, it is tiresome that they don't just settle on an original story for a whole game.
This video kicked my "I should get back to reading One Piece" into gear again though, so great job!!
Fine, you have convinced me; I going to start to read One Piece.
I remember being ~ten years old watching choppers introduction arc on toonami, being insanely confused, trying to watch ftom the beginning online, seeing how far behind I was and thinking: "ill just watch the whole thing when its done."
Welp
I started reading One Piece a few months ago but with the job getting super busy I haven't been able to keep going. Thanks to this though, I'm going to try to watch it ;w; thank you!!!
Watch 5 episodes a night max using the filler guide and you'll catch up EASY! Have fun :D
OPO could have been so much more
one odd thing is that they did not use cel shading to make it look more animated but tried this semi real graphical style wich looks uncanny in places.
But it was a good excuse for Clemps to talk aoput One Piece wich is an automatic win
( great stuff Clemps, + if you want to branch out into One piece videos or anime in general that would be most welcome)
THE ONE CLEMPS IS REAAAAAL
The only thing missing from this video was a lack of rubber gloves. Otherwise, great video! Always a great day when you post content!
man the manga iteration of that belamy punch is so much better lol
To be honest, I screeched at the mention of B-Mask. He's one of my favorite UA-camrs.
love you endlessly Clemps ♥️
Gotta get ready for that Fuga 2 video
My brother had similar fellings. He really loves one piece but hates playing RPG's He loves playing the Warrior games but had the same fellings you did on the way the game plays. He gotto water seven and the RPG elements just brought his expierience all the way down. He loved wathcing me play tho so still had a way to enjoy it.
Hey! Loved the video. I hate to admit this as a huge OP fan myself (even a co-host of an OP-themed podcast), but I dropped the game at nearly the EXACT place as you, only stopping as soon as Water 7 began in the game. Same as you: despite absolutely loving One Piece, the pacing of the missions and the lack of narrative creativity within the established rules of Odyssey (at least in Arabasta) got me burnt out. I intend to finish the game at some point for the pod, buuuuu~uuut it drained my excitement a bit.
Great job on this, BTW! You've come a long way since your Drakengard vids!
Babe, wake up, new Clemps video!
Timmy catching strays ICANT
I'm glad I made the right call on Odyssey. I played the demo and it seemed good but from what I played of the first chapter it looked like they front loaded a lot of the newer things.
This game along with a lot of other One Piece media that I don't like in recent time is this need to revisit moments and Arcs of the past. I understand that One Piece is very long and people who were watching/reading 20 years ago might not remember everything or people picked it up recently and skipped ahead to see what's current. It's this constant need to revisit and fear of doing anything new that especially in the video games that's getting annoying.
Also the tiring use of the Fishman Island arc outfits even through the Straw Hats haven't worn those outfits in about...10 years now. I understand from a game design pov it's easier to use the marketable outfits and modeling them is much easier but still.
It's One Piece, it's one of the most imaginative series ever made. You'd think game designers would use the world and characters in fun and interesting ways but nah let's just revisit a bunch of popular moments.
I was hooked when you mentioned b mask
as someone who recently watched a different review of One Piece by someone I won't name out of respect, I couldn't finish that review because it just really felt to me that the reviewer just kinda missed the point of a lot of things with the story, it always warms my heart to see people wh oget it, and I don't expect everyone to understand that no matter how shonen One PIece ever gets, what makes it so gripping and enjoyable and masterful to me is just how much I love the characters and how their bonds is what makes and breaks so many stories
guessing that critikal video is the one in question?
@@jartism I will neither confirm or deny out of respect, but if you've seen it, you'll know, I understand their criticisms, but I do think it largely misses th piont of the appeal of the series, but, hey, some people just don't find those appealing or look for those in shonen, I get it
OP is one of the few anime where I'm super engaged during "filler" arcs, I truly adore the world and characters that I've grew up with
I think he'd love One Piece World Seeker, considering the visuals are just as good, the story is solid, and there is an ok challenge to the game.
Probably don't play the dlc though. Not really worth the price.
I've tried watching One Pace but it took out too many little things out of that the anime did that I liked. A good ol fast forward button and filler list is enough for me but if you do care about being as ACURATE AS POSSIBLE then yeah go for One Pace! I kinda want a version of One Pace that just removes the non canon stuff and reduce the recaps/flashbacks to a normal understandable amount.
Kinda sad to see an emotional scene and think in the back of your head I am going to see this repeated over and over for the rest of the arc.
“Crocodile is Luffy’s mom theory”
… While I can say that is plausible, it does raise more than a few questions. 😅
I stopped at the same area as clemps but because the kung fu dugong killed my Ussop sending me back to before the crab mover arc began...
If we do end up getting that rumored ArcSys One Piece Fighter I will lose my mind
Ive been considering picking up one piece again, this might just be the kick I needed to do it
Great video!
I will go ahead and say that things get more streamlined around the time that you stopped. But another reason to finish the game is that DLC was announced last month, that includes more story content. I don't know all the details (I don't even think a date has been reveled), but apparently it takes place after the main story and involves going back into memoria and experiencing scenarios where things take a drastic turn into the "what if" territory. It also involves facing off ageist past foes that weren't encountered in the game like Enel
What a great video for one piece fans and gamers!
Loved the video Clemps. I was curious about this game. Extremely casual OP enjoyer so I might just keep going through the manga now cuz of this :3
I am at that point where you left, though I will not leave it, cz my game is Modded with Run Speed Increased. Visually it really is a great game for One Piece. The producer said : "Players will touch the world of One Piece", and I do see that, getting screenshots of every good detail. The world is built great, I am even getting easter eggs of Sun Pirates in the game..like Alabasta Flag is a Sun symbol.
I have rewatched OP as well, so we are similar, just am a free Working guy and you are a CC. 8/10 rating from me so far. Min would be 7.5
"grippers out for absolutely free"
Bonk
CLEMPS AND ONE PIECE? Yes...
Glad i wasn't alone on this. My GF bought me the game cause she knows I like One Piece. I tried to give it a good go, but for the same reasons you mentioned, I just couldn't push through. Retreading old ground is just... not exciting.
