Welp, time to start saving for a PS3 I guess. Or buy one used.

I didn't see Brooke yet, but did see slash eyed zoro, so will be interesting to see how much of the story line this game will actually follow (or if it's just pulling out certain battles to throw you in).

It covers almost all of the pre-timeskip storyline. The only arcs that aren't included are Skypiea and Thriller Bark. Brook is playable, but I have no idea how they introduce him to the crew >_>. I think it more or less goes to just shortly after the timeskip, IE, up until they set sail for Mermen Island. The only Strawhats post-timeskip that are available to play as are Luffy, Zoro and Sanji

Guess there's gonna be disc version and digital release according to US blog

Arriving in November 2012 as a simultaneous digital and Blu-ray release, PS3-exclusive One Piece: Pirate Warriors takes the insanely popular manga/anime series to new heights in this stylized brawler. Players take control of One Piece protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, with his stretchy, rubber-like limbs, to do battle against a number of series villains with his Straw Hats pirate crew. The game offers both story and battle modes, among others, and the ability to fight dozens of on-screen enemies simultaneously (a la Dynasty Warriors).

The only real question is if they're going to package the .jp edition's DLC into the localization's disc release. There was a ton of grumbling that folks were getting fleeced on that stuff. With all the DLC the total cost of ownership of Kaizoku Musou jumped to 10,334 yen.

**Not Kuno** · 2012-04-18 08:23

Hows multiplayer on this? Love Musou co op games.

**Deathbringer** · 2012-04-18 19:43

November eh? I'm fucking sold.

**Vaspinne** · 2012-06-05 20:25

Rehash of the previous ads, but still excited as ever to get it. Also, "Gum gum PS3"? That bothered me

**Correction** · 2012-07-05 12:46

Something seems wrong with the sound. It feels a little too unnatural to hear footstep sounds only a fraction of the time. And Luffy sounds awfully quiet for a guy who reacts to EVERYTHING in the manga/anime.
