I was never interested in Dynasty Warriors. Samurai Warriors looked the same. Not even Gundam could get me interested in playing a Warriors game. But One Piece just might be the property that cracks my disavowal of the button-mashing series, because look at that crazy action!

A new trailer for One Piece Musou, or One Piece: Pirate Warriors in Europe, has surfaced, highlighting many of the most awesome moments of the Enies Lobby arc, one of the best stories in the series. Prior to this, it was uncertain just how much ground the game would cover in terms of story, with the previous trailer showing up to the fight with Arlong. Now, it's looking like it will go all the way to the time skip.

New magazine scans have just revealed several additional characters. Brooke has finally taken his place next to the rest of the Straw Hats pirates as a playable character. In addition, Boa Hancock, Portgas D. Ace, and freaking Whitebeard are also confirmed to be playable. They could just be added characters with no storylines, but hopefully, this is further confirmation that the story includes Thriller Bark and the Paramount War that ends the first half of the series.

I can't believe I'm saying this for a Warriors game, but I'm excited. Here's hoping this gets a US release!
