@The:
Think Punk Hazard will be in the game?
The game releases in 3 months and Oda is still wrapping up the arc. That's cutting it reeeeally close for development time.
On the other hand, Luffy's already shown off some punk hazard moves and Law & Smoker are popular, and all the main characters in this arc were introduced a while ago… but we didn't for instance, know Monet was a snow logia till just a few chapters ago.
I wonder how Robin's Cloning will work in fights?

Also the anime might only get about 12 episodes of Punk Hazard in.
gignat battle 2 new world for the ds Had Hody, Decken, shirahoshi , neptune ,surume and a few moves for the strawhats not used till gyncorde plaza fights before they appeared in the anime
i hope they would add atleast five stages for the new mode rather than just 1 or 2 stages like they did with jimbei,ace ,whitebeard and hancock in the first sequel
That's the point in having an original-story mode, so characters have more than just one stage.

There is always the possibility that Oda "worked" with the developers. It's obvious that Oda plans most things ahead and if they approched him right after releasing the first game, which was around the start of Punk Hazard, they could have had access to his sketches.
I mean, several of BLEACH games had the captains playable way before they really fought because Kubo gave the developers "hints" in how they should move/attack and what effects they should cause.
Plus, Musou games don't really do detailed cutscenes so that wouldn't pose much of a problem. They just need the stage and the characters, and then recording the voices and text is easy.
I know this is a long shot but no one expected to see Gomu Gomu no UFO and it's there. If they had time to include UFO they had time to make the stage a normal Ceaser and normal Monet, so they only need to make that super Ceaser gas form and Snow-Monet as bosses, which take way less time that playable characters.
one attack =/= a stage, four/five characters (CC, Monet, Vergo, Smoker and Law, not including the fodder.) the first game had TS Luffy and a good portion of his attacks yet no Fishman Isle or anything.
As for Robin's clone attacks, the Musou games have Ninja clones and all sorts, I can imagine it'll be easily done as simple attacks where her clone appears and does it's moves. The attack used on Hammond will likely be a special.
i imagine smoker and tashigi will be in the game anyway for lougetown. If they did have their ts-appearances as well it would only be for costumes as i don''t see that much of a difference between then and now other than haki

Good portion of his attacks? He just had a different musou attack.
Smoker and Law would be included for pre-time-skip parts and I was saying that the developers had time to work on a Punk Hazard stage because the base of it had already been seen months ago. The only new thing betwen the chapter Luffy did UFO and the latest one was CC's big gas form and Monet's snow form.
But like I said, it's a bit of a long shot. The developer team may have said "We're gonna include the Punk Hazard arc in the game to increase publicity/sales since it's so recent" and then talked with Oda or set a small side team checking every update to Punk Hazard as the main team worked in the rest of the game. It's unlikely but not impossible.
I was just entertaining a though.
I think Smoker and Law will be in the game anyway because they were popular even before Punk Hazard started but i don't think Punk Hazard, Ceasar Clown or Monet will be in the game.

Smoker can be a bossfight in Loguetown and Marineford. Most of Laws abilties are PH and this game doesn't seem to go that far. By the time it's out PH Arc should be starting. Don't expect Caesar,Monet,Vergo, Baby 5, Buffalo and Kinemon in the game. They did give Luffy his UFO move so it might be current with all the characters.
new scans!
Looks like they put in some effort into making this game. The attacks look stunning.
Ty, kaze.
Yay giant limbs.
Who is that who Sanji is fighting on the second page, left side? Kinda looks like Benn Beckman from the colour scheme.

Pretty sure it's just Skypea fodder.
So now the stages are more open ended and with many more enemies, much more akin to the Dynasty Warriors series. I like it, I like it.
Gear 2 and that Zoro assist seemed to be controled by the new Style bar instead of the musou bar. Seems more practical.
I also caught a glimpse of Kung-Fu point Chopper.
And Skypea as a "what if" scenario, not as the main story mode. I'm guessing they're showing it this way so they can show more new features, like time-skip StrawHats and the new Pirate's Log mode. I don't see them just ditching the main story or the pre-time-skip StrawHats.
Overall this already seems better than the first one and it got me more excited.
Thanks for the find, Kaze.
Looks nice, glad to see that they've confirmed Chopper and Brook already. Not too keen on the White Beret people being the enemies in Skypiea. Surely it should be Enel's goat people? I am happy that the maps look huge tho.
One thing I'm really hoping they've done this time is add some of the tag combo attacks from the series. I think I used the tag assist in the first game once. And that was for a trophy since it just seemed utterly pointless.
Wait why is Time Skip Luffy fighting Enel? That makes no sense.
did luffy used gear second without consuming gauges?
unfortunatley we didnt get to see timeskip franky but the new movesets for luffy looks awesome
So… No Thriller Bark..?

More of the same. No fun. This is going to be just as bad as the first one, it appears.

Also, I spotted Brook and Chopper. I like how Conqueror's Haki is now an R1 action gauge.

Were you honestly expecting something ground breaking in a Musou game?
Oh hey, I do videos on figures and manga and stuff: https://www.youtube.com/thatmanhismerch
it looks repetitive but fun!!! i'm importing the European version again if Namco America doesn't get their act together ans give us the full release we deserve!
yes, exactly. also, that was the entire game in that video. Kaizoku Musou 2 is 7 minutes long, consists of one stage and you can only play as Luffy. also, it is only playable at game demo kiosks, no retail sales.
wait, are you serious? the game is only 7 minute long!? that's not a lot of replay value!
!
Glad to see they're finally throwing away the square rooms with hallways designs from Gundam 3 and One Piece 1. Also just looks like more enemies at a time, which is awesome. The Style bar for power up modes seems like a good idea too. And the way Crew Rush seems to work now looks better as well.
Looks fun,really like the animation of the moves.
Ufo spamming hahaha .
Thanks for the vid Kaze.

It's the same as being able to play as Whitebeard at the Baratie.
Sort of a "what if" scenario.

No, just something different from the last one. I don't see any decent changes.

If they actually attempted to put in the Arcs that weren't in the last game that wouldn't hinder the game.
I think if all the new maps are as big as that one without being square rooms, that's a pretty decent change right there.

Awesome footage everyone.
Just recently picked up the European version of Pirate Warriors 1 'Grand Line Edition' with all the DLC released so far (costumes and challenge missions) for Xmas, which I was very pleased with.
Checking out the stuff around number 2, I like the fact that there is a bit more mix-up of the moves, but still moves which were useful still fit. Lol'd at Kung Fu point in Kaze's video link, and Soul King, Timeskip Robin and Sanji showing a tiny bit of their new move set.
Even if it's a re-dressing of similar moves/combos from before, I'll definitely be picking this up. I like the openness of the new stage/s, and really opens up wide-spread attacking at it's core. I noticed the Style meter pick-up was a book or a scroll?
A bit too much UFO spam, perhaps there'll be more special actions for the other characters, not just Luffy.
They've kept the art style, the music and tried to push the amount of enemies on screen at once - which is fantastic.
Thanks for all the new info, and when I get Kaizoku Musou 2, I'll upload it on my channel - currently working on a Kaizoku Muous 1 walkthrough of the Main Log
I'll wait for Kaizoku Musou 3 and its nine minutes of gameplay.
I like the layout of maps as being more "continous" in terms of territories, rather than square territories if that makes sense. Nice seeing more enemies on screen at once. I wonder how they will do this. Will all the stuff in the first one be in this one? (i.e slightly altered albasta, etc) or will they leave it all out? If they just leave it out then there's no excuses for not having Syrup Village, Logue Town, Thriller Bark, redooing Sabaody to include supernovas and fishman island. The problem with the first one was, yes we had Buggy, but we had no Mohji and cabaji, yes we had arlong and hatchi, but not the other two fishman officers, same for mr 1 and mr 4 and the CP9 members left out of enies lobby, and marco, vista and shichibukai in the war. So even if they go back to the arcs already done, there's still a lot that can be added. Saying this, the scenes that were in the game were down well, but they've left a lot to be improved on so this should be a lot better.
I know this is a dynasty warriors style game but we could still do with a versus mode, and even if not this, we could still have major bosses as playable characters (in the first game think buggy, krieg, arlong, hatchi, croc, mr 2, mr 3, kaku, jabra, lucci, magellan, hannybal, minotaurus, admirals, sengoku, pacifista (or rather kuma)). These were all enemies in the game so they had some moves already for them so half the work was done.
There's a lot that could be done, let's see how this goes…
new video
Is it just me or does Enel's Amaru look really weird?
Looks like they haven't put the finishing touches on it yet.

It's not you, he looks like he's made out of snow instead of electricity
i hope there will be some playable marines. the three admirals, smoker, or garp would be nice. it's kinda hard to make enough stages for them tho. it is annoying to only have one stage for whitebeard or ace for example, but i also competelely understand how hard it is for them to include extra stages for them as they only appear a few times in the manga.

Much better version of Zoro's Black rope Dragon Twister.
Noticed nobody put a link up for the game to buy. Amiami put it up, both regular and treasure box. Am assuming it's not sold out because of the day it went up.
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TVG-PS3-1677&page=top
Also comes with Luffy Z version download.
This is Regular Version: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=TVG-PS3-1676&page=top
Vita Version: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=TVG-PSV-00396&page=top
Pre-ordered the reg. version, the treasure box isn't worth 4k imo
seeing that giant enel transformation , one could hope that they included Thriller bark with Oars and Moria giant form.

I don't see why they wouldn't put the Arc in the game but they left out a lot of Arcs in the first one but don't be surprised. Skypiea looks to be the main selling point of the game.

???
No it doesn't, it's just seems to be the first big thing announced for the game. Why would their selling point be a 10 year old arc that is low on overall relevance (despite being awesome).
The first trailer for the first game only showed the first level of the story mode with time-skip Luffy on Sabaody and yet that wasn't a major selling point in the months that followed, it was just a big announcement to create hype for the game right away.
But I think this trailer was a bit poor. Half of it was something we'd already seen in the teaser. I get it that they want to show things little by little to create more hype but showing just Skypea was bad. They didn't need to show us Fishmen Island or Logue Town (which I'm guessing is in the game because every wants Smoker) but they could have showed us a bit of that remade Arabasta that we saw in the Nami/Robin/Usopp scan. Showing us something new without showing us something new.
Oh well, when is the next scan coming anyway?
