![]() Quests could be shortened, the grind reduced and backtracking excised to leave a leaner, faster game. But almost every part of Odyssey could use some trimming. There's some great encounters in the optional side-content too, including chasing the bounties on rival pirates who have their own comical gimmicks, like a crew that like to leap dramatically off cliff-tops, but haven't figured out the "landing safely" part yet. The distractions often lean into One Piece's sillier side, and even these weird story digressions lead to some spectacular boss fights and fun new monsters. It was hard for me to stay annoyed at Odyssey-or the giant crab for that matter. In one particularly egregious case, a chase across the desert to save a friend gets delayed by bandits stealing the crew's food, a monkey stealing Nami's wallet, a river of quicksand, a spelunking adventure to bypass the quicksand (which fails), and then a big cartoon crab turns up to just take everyone to their destination anyway. It's not just sidequests, grinding and scouring maps for treasure-the main story often forgets where it's going. Come join the Straw Hats for a new and different way to experience One Piece Odyssey.Odyssey is stuffed to bursting with padding, filler within the filler. Reunion of Memories comes out May 25 on PS5 and PS4. The Captain’s Selection system strengthens the narrative of Reunion of Memories by empowering the player to interact with the story for a deeper level of immersion. ![]() In this case, both choices will lead to a battle but the foes that you will face will be different. In this situation here, the Straw Hats are looking to save the mayor of Water Seven and they can go about it in two ways: Save the workers and ask for their help or take the back streets to the mayor’s house. Your choice may be able to steer the Straw Hats away from danger or straight into it for the bold and the daring. Over the course of the story, there will be several points where the system will prompt you to make a story choice between two options. Reunion of Memories also adds a branching storyline system to improve the narrative experience. Let’s now look at the narrative of Reunion of Memories and how the next system changes that experience. This new system brings a refreshing change to the combat of Odyssey as the strategic decisions made in battle allow for a much bigger impact in the outcome of the fight. This “ally” can cause some chaos in any plan, making the battle more exciting. As one more fun mechanic to the battle, the Straw Hats will be joined by an NPC ally that will not hesitate to defeat the sailors and boost the power of the admiral. Fortunately, the Straw Hats are well equipped for this issue as Brook, Nami, and more can incapacitate the sailors with abilities that can stun or confuse them. However, the admiral is tough and the sailors will overwhelm the Straw Hats if left alone. So how do we get past this? The straightforward solution is to focus solely on taking down the admiral. If all sailors are defeated, the admiral will boost to an astronomical level of power and can make quick work of the Straw Hats. ![]() In fact, any defeated sailors will result in Rear Admiral Barricade receiving a boost to his power. ![]() The accompanying sailors do not need to be defeated to win. In this battle, the Straw Hats must defeat Rear Admiral Barricade to succeed. For an example of what Limited order battles are, let’s breakdown the battle with the Rear Admiral Barricade below. These battles have exceptional enemies with strong abilities that will need to be planned around for best results. Limited Order battles are specific encounters that you’ll experience in Reunion of Memories and are tuned for higher level play to allow for deeper strategic gameplay. In the DLC, a new battle system is implemented to supplement the combat experience. ![]()
