thanks for the video, J-Sack! great stuff, indeed.
ok, video summary:
! - Game's lenght is aprox. of 25 hours, but you can easily double that if you take on all side quests and achievements of the game;
- It takes place after WCI, so you'll be able to unlock all Luffy's iconic techniques up to the ones used in WCI (huge wink to Snakeman?);
- Every Admiral that is on the island has been summoned for a different reason, but there's a clear threat to the WG in the island;
- This game is inspired by western games like GoF and Assassin's Creed
- There'll be a crafting mechanic to elaborate meals for Luffy, since he likes to eat so much
- You can upgrade your skills, so you can use your points to make either your stealth or agressive mode more successful/powerful
- The W.G. base is located on the floating fortress shown in the recent trailer
- Release date already defined, it shall be out in the world in the next big video game event (TGS, Paris Week…?)
- Initially, we'll only have one attack buttom - but you can customise it (it isn't clear how this is going to work)
- No english dub, but localized subtitles (German, French and English guaranteed)
- The game has been in development for aprox. 03 years now, and Toei and Sueisha have been directly involved. Oda is involved as well, but they didn't disclose how far he went because it's gonna be a big deal and they are saving it for later.
- There are no ship battles in the game
- The basic lore is that there was a huge war on the island over some minerals that can be used for technological purposes (and can be sold for gold), so the marines make an aggressive take-over pretending to care about the civilians, but they are actually trying to control de extraction of said mineral. A tyrannical regime is implemented on the island, and when Luffy gets to know about this oppressive force, he rebels against it. It is structured the same way an anime arc would be.
- The development team is aware that the game looks kinda empty, and they say that the actual game will be "full of life". But because the game story begins after a war, we will see the impacts of it. It was reassured that there will be a lot of cities, environments, buildings, flora and fauna and such.
- The dutch interviewer is really annoying
Sorry for misspellings and grammatical mistakes
Thanks! I really do hope its at least 50 hours for completion and that the maps won't be as empty as they seem but I doubt both. Low expectations and being a one piece fan is why I will still buy and enjoy this. I mean, it just looks like a detailed Pirate Warriors 3 Mosou. I actually like the 3rd person camera angle.
