One Piece Romance Dawn PSP RPG's 3rd Promo Video Posted (Updated)

Namco Bandai Games began streaming the third promotional video for its upcoming PSP "pirate romance" role-playing game One Piece Romance Dawn: Bōken no Yoake on Thursday. The five-minute video explains the field, battle, and story areas of the game, and introduces the main members of the Straw Hat Pirates crew. Like the previous videos, the promo video features the game's theme song "Eternal Waves" by Hyōe Ebata of TRIPLANE, the same band that performed The One Piece anime's ending theme song "Dear friend."

As the title indicates, the game begins with the "Romance Dawn" arc of the manga, at the "dawn" of pirate Luffy's adventures in the East Blue. It will feature 30 minutes of brand-new anime footage.

Namco Bandai Games will release the game in Japan on December 20 on both UMD and through digital download for 5,980 yen (about US$77). Those who pre-order the game will receive nine custom PSP themes of the Straw Hat Pirates' wanted posters, a map for the special quest with Kuzan (Aokiji) as seen in One Piece Film Z, and a serial code for obtaining a limited figure in the Mobage One Piece Grand Collection game.

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan will also offer a black One Piece Romance Dawn: Bōken no Yoake Straw Hat Pirates Edition PSP system with gold symbols of the Staw Hat Pirate Flag and the individual members on the back.

Update: Embedded correct video. Thanks, IkariGendo and Keiichi-chan.
