Here's some recent gameplay from PLAY! PLAY! PLAY!

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Dang, this is looking good. Excited to see how it turns out and what the final reviews say

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

UE4 games all look the same. This almost looks like a Dragon Quest 11 mod.
Also, it always looks horrible for anime games.

Anyway, why make a game about some elastic rubber dude and then confine him to slow walking segments.
Switching characters all the time for small, insignificant things (and through a menu of all things) feels dull and boring.
Annoying characters that talk non-stop.

This is probably another victim of design by committee

 

[intheinbetween]

Looking much better than expected

Well I got it preordered. I'm always there for some light-hearted fun, and Nami+Nico. I've really enjoyed the Pirate Warriors games but its nice to have something else to mess around with. Plus it looks very good in that DQ style which I'm a big fan of.

 

[Nankatsu]

Using a menu in between to changes characters on the fly is a big oof for me. Still, game looks interesting.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Game looks interesting indeed, definitely on my radar .

 

[anthony2690]

Game looks cool, never watched one piece.

I have it preordered, as it reminds me off DQ11, I'll probably put it on hold to play though, as I really don't fancy a JRPG atm, played so many this year. (I haven't even booted up P5R what I'm also really looking forward too at some point)

This is my thoughts as well, it looks pretty generic and very "plastic".
One Piece also sounds like freedom to me, and this game is exactly the opposite of freedom.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

This game has a speed-up option, right? Otherwise the game looks way too slow for me. Battle animations are obnoxiously long

They're using the same anime template and assets after all.

DQ11, DBZ Kakarot, trials of mana, Seven Deadly Sins, Blue Protocol, Tales of Arise, and many more.

 

[Comandr]

Mmm. Looks pretty weak. Luffy’s sprint animation doesn’t match his travel speed. It appears that only certain characters can see certain items? So only if you’re Sanji will you see random ingredients and only Nami can find money. This seems like a tedious design choice making you comb over everything multiple times with everyone.

This is the kind of game I’d wait for to be on PS+ or humble bundle inevitably in 8 months, play it for 5 minutes and decide that yep I hate it.

 

[Croga]

It's a One Piece turn based JRPG, that's me sold on it 100%

Dunno how we haven't got one until now considering how long One Piece has been around.

 

[ANDS]

If nothing else this has style coming out of its arse. I'll definitely check it out, despite knowing funk-all about "One Piece."

. . .I do like how they are explaining an "RPG game. . ." as if the viewer has never seen such a thing before.
