Since Baldur’s Gate won’t be out until next month I won’t be surprised if I just drop it like a bad habit and play the hell out of this instead.

“I’m sorry. I wanted to bring everyone just a little farther. I’m sorry. I wanted to always go on adventures together. But I..”
“If someone’s gotta apologise, it’s us Merry! I’m bad at steering, so I ran you into icebergs. I ruined your sails too.
Zoro and Sanji are idiots, so they broke lots of things! And Usopp tried to fix them, but he wasn’t any good at it!
If someone’s gotta apologise..”
“But I was happy. You always treated me well.. thank you. I was always so happy. All because of you!”
:”( goodbye, Going Merry. I need to play this game.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors Off To A Grand Start In Japan
For the initial launch of One Piece: Pirate Warriors, Namco Bandai shipped 650,000 copies of the game to retailers in Japan. That’s a high number, and it indicates that Namco expect the game to do very well indeed. Given the popularity of One Piece in Japan and Namco’s high expectations, we were curious to see how the game was doing, and so, we perused the blogs of a few Japanese retailers to find out what their experiences of the game’s launch were.
The general consensus is that the game more or less sold out at launch at various stores. One retailer indicates that over 90% of copies at his store (including pre-orders) had sold out. Customers ranged from highschoolers through people in their 20s, and even people over 30.
“Today, on the day of release, an adult man cheerfully came to pick up One Piece: Pirate Warriors,” another retailer echoes on his blog. At this particular store, adults comprised the majority of customers.
Retailer #3 indicates that the game started selling at a rapid speed at his store from the moment he opened for the day. In contrast, a fourth retailer says that sales of the game didn’t really pick up at his store until the evening, but by the end of the day, most copies were sold out.
While each of these anecdotes says something a little different about One Piece’s first day sales, the one thing all of them agree on is that the game sold tremendously well at launch. The golden PlayStation 3 bundle sold out completely at various stores, and one retailer even wonders if more PlayStation 3s were sold with One Piece: Pirate Warriors than at the PlayStation 3’s launch.
As far as new shipments are concerned, Namco Bandai appear to have things under control, with a smaller second shipment being sent out over the weekend. One retailer says that the second shipment consists of another 50,000 copies, but wonders how the game will sell in the long run, after the initial launch is done. Other retailers are instead concerned about stock being able to keep up with demand, and one says that a third shipment of the game won’t be sent out until March 9th.
This year’s 13th issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is revealing on Monday the costumes that will be available as downloadable content for the One Piece Kaizoku Musou action game. Starting on March 1 (the same day that the game itself launches), players can download a musha (samurai) version of the pirate captain Monkey D. Luffy for a fee. Then on March 8, a kimono version of the heroine Nami will become available.
Both costumes are based on the color opening-page illustrations that One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda himself drew for the original manga. More costumes for other characters are planned as well.
Okay, it was already great to know the game is adapting the whole storyline up to the New World, but now you really know they’re putting in extra work if they’re doing post-release downloadable content, ESPECIALLY IF IT’S CONTENT BASED OF THE ARTWORK OF ODA HIMSELF. As of now,
I only have one critique and that’s the graphics, but that’s up to a certain extent unavoidable. It’s not like Square-Enix would pick up a project for One Piece. But if they did…Hnnng.
