It’s a pivotal place filled with pivotal moments. The events of Water 7 show the first-ever conflict between Usopp and Luffy, the introduction of Franky, and one of the biggest moments in One Piece history when Robin chooses to live on the Tower of Law. As Alabasta was a big memory for the One Piece crew as the first major stop on the journey, Water 7 was equally as important. ![]() The world of memories in ONE PIECE ODYSSEY also brings thrilling variations to narrative arcs where players can unlock iconic powers like Zoro’s Ashura Ichibugin technique and Luffy’s Gear 2 transformation to defeat powerful enemies.Īfter showing Alabasta, it seemed that the inclusion of Water 7 was a foregone conclusion. The “Water Seven” trailer also showcases familiar locations such as the Gallery-La Company and characters including Franky’s gang and CP9 members Lucci and Kaku. One Piece Odyssey is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.The newest glimpse at ONE PIECE ODYSSEY introduces a new story that highlights Luffy’s search for Usopp and Robin. It just happens to be a fun, turn-based RPG with some of your favorite characters. If you’re already a long-time fan, it doesn’t seem like a story with high emotional stakes so far. If you’re new to One Piece, forget the game and watch the anime first. If they don’t, they better be willing to learn. You don’t need to introduce Naruto to newcomers. Manga/anime games don’t need to explain who the characters are if it’s popular enough that fans will buy the game on principle. So far, it seems like One Piece Odyssey’s biggest strength is also its weakness. Its even more practical in Odyssey than in the series because Chopper isnt paralyzed for an hour after reverting.

After cleaning up the little guys, characters can migrate to the main fight by attacking a monster in the boss’s area or the boss itself. Some Straw Hats might be facing grunts while someone tackles the boss. It also involves different areas of a battle. Characters don’t have a set order, so you can choose who you want to use first. The turn-based combat doesn’t work like an Atlus game. Meanwhile, Chopper can heal HP and status effects for his teammates. ![]() Luffy can use his Gum Gum Gatling attack to one-hit KO multiple enemies if he has enough TP saved up from attacking enemies. Once you have enough TP, you can activate stronger attacks, ranged attacks, and/or healing depending on the character’s skills. Characters fill up the TP meter with each attack. For example, even though Nico Robin is a Technique type, she had an attack suited for the Power-fearing boss monster in the demo.Įach character has a list of skills that they can activate with TP, this game’s version of skill points.
