It follows the major arcs (Arlong Park, Enies Lobby and others prior to the Dressrosa arc) of the anime, though in severely truncated form. One thing that Pirate Warriors 3 does differently from previous games in the series is that it attempts to tell a cohesive plot, one that starts right at the beginning of the anime. That’s goes for One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 too, as it is identical to One Piece Pirate Warriors on the PlayStation 3 in most major aspects.Īs in the original Pirate Warriors, the latest in the series still follows the adventures of Luffy and the Going Merry (and later Thousand Sunny) crew as they traverse the Grand Line and into the New World. The American version of the game features 16 playable characters, while the Japanese version had 19.While other series have grown and become more complex, the Warriors games of today are pretty much identical to the original Dynasty Warriors 2 back on the PlayStation 2. Certain stages, character profiles, and even some characters attacks were edited to remove references to events that happened later in the series. While localizing the game in English, 3 characters and 2 stages were removed because the English versions of the anime and manga had not yet reached the story arc they appeared in. It also includes a Tournament mode and a minigame mode. Grand Battle, like many fighting games, includes an arcade mode where the player simply fights a number of opponents in a row as well as a story mode which features brief dialogue scenes between the characters. In addition to their normal moves and combos each character also has a Secret Attack, which upon a successful hit triggers a cinematic finishing move which can (but not always) do enough damage to instantly end the fight. Each character also has a Support Character that they summon to fight with them for a short amount of time. Similar to Power Stone, the fights take place in 3D arenas with various items and obstacles scattered across the stage. Although it was the 4th entry in the Grand Battle series in Japan, it was the first One Piece game released in America. One Piece: Grand Battle is a fighting game based on the popular anime and manga series, One Piece.
