One Piece Odyssey is a brand new released game that is following a storyline and characters coming from the Oce Piece world and lore. That can mean a lot of things and get some of its gamers confused. That is why in this guide we are going to explain exactly what One Piece Odyseey is using from both the One Piece Manga and Anime. Let’s get started.
One Piece Odyssey – What Story Is It Using From The Manga & Anime
Story
The plot and story are about some memories from the straw-hatted crew on the island of Wofford. One Piece Odyssey is using a vast majority of the straw hat crew and actually, a lot of them are playable characters. You are able to play them in memory sections.
Odyssey’s memory sections have been a very smart and hand-picked bundle of collections of very action–packed moments that the Manga has to offer. Although having such beloved material by its followers can also backfire especially as the game seems poised to make significant changes in how the actual story plays out.
Some of the characters that you are able to play are the following:
- Luffy
- Zorro
- Nami
- Usap
- Sanji
- Chopper
- Robin
- Frankie
- Brooke
This isn’t the full crew up to the current point in the Manga and Anime but One Piece Odyssey itself is set before all of those events actually took place. Each of these characters will have a set of skills that can be seen in the manga and Anime as well. They can also be upgraded and leveled up to become stronger and stronger, just like in the anime.
The devs have made it so that you’ll have to use each member for certain types of combat. This is also something that is utilized in the manga and Anime and you won’t get that overpowered feeling in Odyssey too. Everyone has their special needed place in the crew.
You will be set to revisit memories of several of One-Piece’s popular stories and plots. You will be getting the Arcs of Arabasta, Andres Rosa, Marine Fort, and many more. Each of these memories will have a unique set of NPCs that could be seen in the Anime and Manga too.
Gameplay
There are Changes in One Piece Odyssey other than what you might have seen in the Manga or Anime. This is a very unfriendly hazard for some fans, while for others it is seen as a welcoming change of pace. Some things might need some tweaking and also Odyssey would need to have something new to offer other than what we’ve seen in the Anime already.
The gameplay for One Piece Odyssey is a mix of puzzles and dungeons with traversal and turn-based combat. There are different skills and characters that will level up in traditional JRPG fashion. All of the fighting styles are from the Anime and Manga just the big thing about the gameplay is the Unexpected Cutscene System.
Bandai Namco has talked about this as a feature to give players whole new very unexpected scenarios that will shock its fanbase. For example, some characters might need to be imprisoned and you might need to rescue them.
One Piece Odyssey is set to be released on the 12 and 13th of January 2023. That is all that we know so far and we are really anticipating the game’s release! We hope that this article has given you an insight into what you’ll be getting in the game from the Manga and Anime. Have fun!
