Once gameplay begins in earnest, things begin to look up, albeit momentarily. Established fans of the series will wonder how Three Rings has made an interesting tale so dull, whereas newcomers will question why anybody would be interested in the One Piece franchise to begin with. They are interspersed with screen captures taken directly from the anime, but even these frequently miss the mark – more often than not these are blurry, marred by poor compression and directly taken from lower quality interstitial frames. These tiresome segments drag on endlessly and yet do a horrible job of any real exposition important plot points are relegated to a single line or two whereas extraneous dialogue continues relentlessly. Text is placed haphazardly into word balloons and many characters are represented by a single image, making any kind of emotive expression impossible. Static images of characters spout ceaseless, terribly written dialogue, the shaking of their avatars to distinguish which person is speaking the only animation used in these bland exchanges. The presentation of this narrative, however, is laughably lazy, draining any pretence of drama or suspense from proceedings.
Luffy’s impressively expansive adventures, commencing with his humble beginnings as a pirate-wannabe and chronicling his journey to recruit more members into his seafaring squad.
The plot of the game follows the earlier portions of Monkey D. With One Piece Romance Dawn, what developer Three Rings has actually produced is a tedious, lazy, borderline insulting abomination that stretches player patience in a manner that would have even the elastic Luffy impressed.
Anyone would be forgiven for thinking crafting a decent RPG from the lore of established anime juggernaut One Piece would be a simple task the bombastic characters, epic quests and thrilling battles the series is known for should, in theory, make for an excellent adventure.
