Wow... I wonder if these new characters are an indicator of how much of the series they plan to fit into the game, or if they're just unlockable.

maybe the game's story is going up to end of Whitebeard arc.

Wow, that spoiler[Usopp/Luffy fight scene] looks so different with Usopp not completely wrapped in bandages.

They said that the game would cover the beginning of the story all the way up to the spoiler[time skip].

fishman only lasted for 1 year, and since it's OP's 15th year anniversary this year, i guess it'd be around 13-14 years worth of storytelling.

Looks amazing.
Really hope this comes out in Europe!

As for content, it's not an RPG guys.
This isn't going to be about telling 12+ years of story, but about the fighting.
No doubt we have cut-scenes as seen in the promo videos, explaining the basic plot of each arc, but they are there to set-up each fight.
Most anime video games do this, but this game actually seems to capture the emotion of the series rather than the typical 'this is what has happened, brief cut-scene using highlight dialogue, now lets fight!'.

Can't wait to see more!

I still don't understand why people insist on spelling Brook's name with an "e" in it. It's written IN ENGLISH constantly.

well, the anime was first to romanize the name in english, so some fans believe oda would've used the correct spelling, i.e, 'brooke', had he gotten to write it in english first.
