One piece x Sea of thieves

[AsoftDolphin]

Id really like to see a one piece game where its a MMO set in the vast one piece world, you create your character and are spawned on a random island that has people/npcs on it and work your way up to joining the marines/living a normal life ( running a shop, being a fisher, cook, researcher etc etc ) or joining or creating a pirate crew? any thoughts

It's a nice dream game but there's no way it would ever become reality in a satisfying way in the current industry climate. It would be dumbed down to hell and riddled with microtransactions. Not to mention making it a MMO would make it incredibly slow and grindy. I think it'd be better if it were singleplayer with drop-in co-op so the player can actually get strong in a reasonable amount of time and their power doesn't have to be balanced for MMO play. Maybe they could have a multiplayer side mode with a persistent world where pirate clans vie for control of a chain of islands.

I guess that would work but like i really would like to see a game where you spawn on a random inhabited island and start with no devil fruit powers, and have to try and find them or trade to get them, grinding would make the game worth playing, cause you never know whats next

[tf.take]

this is something i have dreamed about for a long time, i find it stupid that all one piece games are just with the franchise's characters and strictly based around fighting. i would like to create my own character and start as a weak nobody exploring a vast world of islands with the goal of becoming stronger. i don't want an mmorpg though, for partly the same reasons as the other guy and also because grinding for levels or doing the same quests as every other player doesn't fit in what i would want the game to be like, there could still be other ways to become stronger and still keep the game skill based. as for devil fruits, i would want them to be as rare as possible, maybe only have one of each devil fruit in every server, (no active player would have the same devil fruit as another).

agreed, and yeah also agree, it should be rare and a RNG drop for all of them, except there is only one of each. If a certain fruit is supposed to have lore, whoever completes whatever that fruit is tied to first should obtain it. and then that quest should be taken out, if this ever became a real game id want it to be such a alive feeling world that it would be worth it to play. Honestly if it could ever be managed, make the game kinda like No mans sky as in you spawn somewhere randomly ( of course u can make ur character n everything before hand ) but instead of servers it should be one. Would be awesome, if I could hear about a rival pirate group or ♥♥♥♥ like that and have it be so community based that if you are powerful enough ( like blackbeard or famous enough like Ace ) then it could really be cool. Also, if they did a bounty system. I think that if people could raise another persons bounty if they are out against them or were screwed over by them. and ofc as you continue to do crimes/break laws it would go up normally, this could really become a cool thing if they wanted it to be. I wouldn't want it singleplayer or drop in co-op. I'd want it to be a MMO in a sense, as in huge ass servers.

same man, i feel entirely the same way and i have thought about all which you mentioned, specially about if it could be one big world that is able to house every player in it instead of servers, it would feel so alive and every person or crew's reputation and fame would have so much meaning, it really would be like the one piece universe. imagine being one of the few people with a logia devil fruit, knowing you have the only of its kind and you are a force to be reckoned with, that stands out among the other thousands of players. or having a bounty so tremendously large that your name has spread out throughout the entire world. it feels nice just to think about playing something like that, but sadly i don't see how anything close to what i want is possible today without it being a disappointment. the only way i can think of to have so many players at once is something like World of Warcraft's instance system, where you have to load whenever you go into a different zone.

as for devil fruits, i think that other than quests to attain one, they could just be hidden or spawn randomly and it would take exploring, searching or just luck to find one. they would be extremely rare though and only a small portion of the players would be devil fruit users, others can look to become stronger through haki, rokushiki, or improving in whatever type of combat they chose, such as swordsmanship or guns.

SERIOUSLY! And they could so make it so if you want to play in VR you can, and definitely I think they could do something like RDR2's Voice Chat, except more like optimized for radius near you. Imagine seeing crews that are huge, or small little crews. It would be amazing if they did this. Id love to see them make it like completely multiplayer (npcs until the player base is big enough but like if u want to make a shop do it, wanna join the navy go for it, be a fisher, a townsperson who works on their trades/skills, a treausre hunter, a bounty hunter, a pirate hunter, anything really they could really make this game amazing, work your way up no matter how you do it in the navy. Make the game really open and free for the players, it would be amazing

I've been dreaming about this kind of thing for years. I adore One Piece and with the passion and budget this kind of game would be legendary. I don't know what to expect from a World Seeker sequel. But a One Piece MMO would be bueno. Imagine fighting other players over devil fruits, seeing worldwide bounty rankings. Joining or amassing a fleet and taking on the World Government together. Hell, maybe there could be seasons where it's a race to get to Laugh Tale and find the One Piece, and when the season resets its a chance for another crew to get it.

I wish this could be a reality I have so many crazy ideas for a One Piece MMO

I too have been dreaming about this for a really long time, I got really excited at the release of games like Atlas, and Sea of Thieves. To me they introduced the possibility of a One Piece MMO.
Since we don't know what the One Piece entails yet, I can't know if it would actually be a good goal for the game. But regardless I would want it to have a lot of different paths, such as joining a kingdom, being a king, joining the marines, being a merchant or becoming a pirate of course. And although an underlying goal for pirates like the One Piece would be fun, it isn't necessary. It does not have to be like One Piece to an exact, just an open world pirate universe with devil fruits is good for me.

I always thought it was a pipe dream, but look at that mobile Sword Art Online MMO - Integral Factor. For what it does, it's better than 99% of the MMOs on mobile, because it doesn't have Auto Play, it doesn't have limitations like a Stamina/Energy system, meaning you can play as much as you want and still progress. Only 3-4 other mobile MMOs can compete with SAO:IF only because they are the same - no Auto Play and no Stamina/Energy system, which literally makes them real MMOs, not like the autoplay trash.

So it's very possible to get full-fledged One Piece MMO on mobile, it won't be the same as a PC version, but if you look around, the MMO scene is dying, there are only a handful of decent MMOs - WoW, ESO, FF14, GW2 and the rest are some Indie MMOs in perpetual beta with a very uncertain future. It's not like 10 years ago when MMOs were launching left and right and you couldn't handle playing them all.

Now the fad is Battle Royale crap and Survival trash games. Why? Because they are really easy to make - you don't have to make content for them, just use some tool to randomly generate a large map for you, place some buildings and then either make it Battle Royale and put random weapons and armor in the buildings or create a Crafting and PvP system and make it a Sandbox.

So it's most probable for a One Piece MMO to launch on mobile, it won't be the ideal solution, but it can be played on PC through an emulator and it means less effort and risk, and more revenue for the developer.

No one wants a mobile game, and I personally don't want an MMO with balancing either judging from the examples you are using; since that would probably mean having the same quests and objectives for every single player to follow. And what I want is a massive online sandbox where every player can choose what to be, what to do, and especially where to head to. What you listed is obviously possible but a One Piece-themed Shadow Raid Legends isn't what anyone with this idea is looking for.

Have you even seen video footage of what Sword Art Online Integral Factor is? Your comparison to Raid: Shadow Legends is completely, 100% false. Please educate yourself before making such laughable statements.

Raid: Shadow Legends is a turn-based battle game with optional Auto Combat, double speed, Energy/Stamina system. It has no real world and you use a map to travel between battles that are separated in waves.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhaJwG3buJw

Sword Art Online Integral Factor is a real, full-blown MMORPG on mobile devices, the only restriction being is that every area is instanced and it does not possess a true open world. Gameplay is exactly like a real MMORPG - you have to manually go everywhere, nothing can be automated, you can go wherever you want at any given time (once you pass the initial tutorial).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa7zuyMiqGo

The only other REAL MMORPGs on mobile that I know of are:

- AdventureQuest 3D (zones are instanced)
- Villagers & Heroes Online (zones are instanced)
- RuneScape and Old School RuneScape (real open world)
- Toram Online and some of the other Asobimo games

All of the games listed play like full blown MMORPGs on a mobile - no auto system, no energy or stamina that restricts you how much you can play, you have complete freedom.

I think you're not quite familiar that there are actually real MMOs on mobile and they are pretty good, the only shame is that some of them aren't ported on PC and if you want to play them on PC, you have to use an emulator.

That's why I'm saying a real mobile One Piece MMO is the only possible thing, because there are already living (and successful) examples of such games and a developer (like Bandai Namco) will not risk creating some automated piece of crap for One Piece - they will either make it a real mobile MMO or not make it at all.

lol i still don't want a mobile game. and if that is possible on mobile then why not make something similarly demanding for PC? i'd be satisfied with something not very demanding as the first game. while SAO doesn't seem that terrible on mobile, i don't see how an rpg in which you mindlessly follow quests and kill mobs compares to what would be an open world pirate game where you can sail anywhere, or have any of the other possibilities i previously listed on the thread, such as even being able to form relations with other players and sailing together; i don't see that or any other immersion possible in mobile.

if you want to see an actual example of what it could be like without being very demanding look up One Piece on roblox.

why does every single pirate game have to be multiplayer lol
all i want is a sea dogs or even sid meiers pirates clone with a one piece skin. it would be so easy too and could easily have everything anyone would want in a one piece game.

I've given it some thought, and a blank slate One Piece game (not revolving around the franchise's characters or storyline) would just make more sense to be Online. I feel like it is too hard to make a world like that feel alive if it is in single-player, and I fear it would just turn into mindless fighting like all the other One Piece games. It would just be too linear, I don't see a way that it would be how I want, which would be an open world game that gives you complete freedom over your character, path, and choices. There would be devil fruits already taken by NPC's, and the game would just be like "Go to this Island and fight this guy", because there's no way they will develop a character and his fighting just to put him at an Island the player might never end up sailing to or interact with him. Online, there wouldn't be things designed just for you to interact with, the strong people and devil fruit eaters will be other players like you, people that you may never see in game, their bounties will stand out and actually have meaning.

I'd be stoked for a One Piece single player, but it would just be so bland. "Okay cool, the 7 warlords are doflamingo, hancock, moriah, weevil, law, kuma, mihawk.. and their abilities are the same as the show". It's just fan service at that point to interact with the characters, if not another fighting game.

Maybe it'd be better if the entire world was a complete blank slate with new characters, but I doubt a studio would do that and have to design new characters and their fighting, etc. However a knock off One Piece title named something like "Pirates and Magic", with essentially devil fruits seems possible... But it would still feel Linear in my opinion.
