On paper I should love this, a turn-based RPG with the One Piece crew in the style of Dragon Quest. However, something didn't quite feel right during my playthrough and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was making it fall short of the mark. My conclusion was everything just takes a little too long; the combat animations, changing characters in the overworld and even getting from place to place. Everything takes just one or two clicks more than it needed to, which doesn't sound like a lot but does add up over time. The game also relies heavily on the crew revisiting the memories of their past adventures. The original story that is there is rather mundane and very predictable. Despite that though, I'm glad it exists because it's always fun to hang out with the Straw Hat Pirates and they've never looked so good.
