As someone who has never played a musou game and wants to try one, is this one good enough in that genre compared to others? I'm willing to forgive story shortcuts and whatever to play as a large range of One Piece characters wrecking shop.

Usually anime tie-ins are just gonna be lovely (see: the Berserk musou) but One Piece gets special treatment because everyone in Japan loves it. Also it's kind of a perfect fit thematically, most One Piece arcs are already set up like musou stages.

The One Piece Pirate Warriors spin-offs have been one of the few good anime tie-in musou series. If you want to see whether musou gameplay is for you or not, you could do worse than picking OPPW3 or 4.

I'll echo the goon that said PW4 doesn't make PW3 obsolete due to large differences in mechanics and content, if you're just dipping your toe into musous to see if you like them PW3 is still a good option and regularly dirt cheap on every platform

Alabaster is a fine place to start for the series but alrong park is missed. And thriller bark isn't there because they didn't want to have to render nightmare luffy. And I don't think they have pre timeskip models of chopper or nami fighting because I can't select them in dramatic mode for some reason.

Yeah, they cut the pre-TS fighting styles of half the dang strawhats so you can't pick Chopper/Nami/Robin/Franky/Brook until the timeskip. I have nearly everything unlocked on Barto and he still sucks, which makes me very sad. The playstyle they seem to want you to go for with him just doesn't work, his counter just doesn't deal enough damage. Especially when you could just pick Whitebeard and demolish entire zones at a time.

The way they skipped over Skypeia and Fishman Island totally in the cutscenes makes it feel like it might be DLC or something. Or a pre-TS DLC with the characters and some of the skipped arcs.

I'm trying to keep up with the manga but ever since the time skip it feels like it has just been spinning it's wheels. just look at the arc division  a 23 arcs pre time skip in about 600 chapters and 8 post time skip in about 400. Dressrosa was 101 chapters long and Wano is looking to be as long if not longer then that. At this point I really hope Oda is starting to get close to making an ending arc.

that's not the comic 'spinning its wheels' it's just oda shifting to a more longform storytelling, who gives a poo poo how many arcs the fandom has arbitrary sliced the story up into

Wano is actually reasonably fast-paced; it's just long because a lot is happening in it. The Thousand Beast Pirates are probably the second-most powerful faction in the setting (the WG is number one, of course), and there's only one other antagonistic faction that's likely to surpass them (the Blackbeard Pirates). Beating them shouldn't be easy. It's not like Dressrosa where the fight against Doflamingo kept dragging out long after he was obviously screwed.

If anything this is still first arc of the new world. FI-PH-DR all build up into this single upcoming battle and Oda himself only labelled the new world arcs as 'The new world' and 'The throne wars' respectively. there’s probably only gonna be three ‘sagas’ in this entire second half when the world war starts People have been complaining about how old one piece is better than new one piece for a long time now but if oda really cashes in all these threads and plot lines into exciting climax/satisfying payoff it’ll easily be the best thing in one piece (and all of fiction by extension) Professorjuggalo fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Apr 3, 2020 |

Of all the new world arc the only one i'd argue spins its wheels is Dressrosa. Fishman Island & Punk Hazard are relatively normal length. Zou is all but a blip. Whole Cake Island & Wano are very large arcs but they're faster paced; it's just they're just so dense. Wano literally has act breaks where we keep getting world updates normally reserved for between arcs. There's been multiple times during Wano where I've been shocked at how quickly we get from point a to point b. Like Luffy is separated from his crew for what 3 chapters and then they just reunite and its all nice and over with meanwhile those 3 chapters are full of information on tthe world state, new characters and like 4 locations. Oden's flashback is I think longer than usual but it spans about 20 years and just never stops running.

mateo360 posted:I'm trying to keep up with the manga but ever since the time skip it feels like it has just been spinning it's wheels. lets be less strict with it and say pre time skip has 4 arcs that all the smaller islands add up to: east blue (main goal is to reach the grand line) alabasta (introduced to vivi inside laboon) enies lobby (robin joins crew after alabasta) marineford (straw hats declare war on the navy at the end of enies lobby) and post skip has: whole cake/wano entangled together. luffy gets into conflict with big mom over the phone at the end of fishman island, then gets into conflict with kaido and meets kinemon and momo on punk hazard. dressrosa and zou are still wano arc, but then whole cake island happens. now, big mom and kaido have teamed up. so it was all the same arc, all along so, you could say that oda has made one-quarter the arcs in two-thirds the chapters. however, i think that the govt and marines are going to end up intermixed in wano as well, and there have been plenty of big moments with them throughout the post time skip. reverie also happened. the revolutionaries have had chapters. so, i think wano is at least three times as beefy as a pre-skip arc, and with the plot development another 200 chapters will add, will easily rival or surpass pre-skip for “amount of things the straw hats do”

ultimately my conclusion is that there are not separate arcs after the time skip, from then to the end is the “luffy becomes the pirate king” arc

I can kind of understand people getting fatigued, I suppose. It's been over 20 years, we're nearing 1000 chapters and at absolute minimum we still need probably another 40 chapters to wrap up Wano (and it'll be more like 60 probably) before we go to i dunno, blackbeard, Elbaf, who knows what's going to happen with the rest of the world, Shanks, and whatever else we need to cover before heading to Laugh Tale

Finish up Wano, finish up the Fishman Island plot, go to Elbaf, go to Laugh Tale, start war, fight Blackbeard, series over. I give it 10 years, at most.

That's seven arcs after Wano, although some of them will obviously be much longer than others. Edit: There are alternative possibilities, obviously. Since Blackbeard probably has Whitebeard's Poneglyph now, he can "accidentally" leak a copy of it to the Straw Hats, knowing that they already have the other 3, and then follow them to Laugh Tale. That way, Zoro can fight Mihawk at Lodestar, and the Straw Hats can fight Blackbeard at Laugh Tale itself. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Apr 3, 2020 |

Ehh, I think Luffy getting to Laugh Tale and becoming the King of the Pirates is the end of the manga, period. Everything will come to a head either on that island, or on the way there. It would be lame to go back and deal with the WG afterwards. Trying to predict One Piece is a fool's errand, anyway. I couldn't confidently say what'll be happening ten chapters from now, much less three arcs.

I will say, it's probably just me, but there's plenty of times where I feel things get a bit TOO dense and I kinda lose track of certain things, so when the manga's like "Here's the payoff" I don't actually remember what the setup was.
