Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?
Before One Piece became the pirate series we know and love today, Eiichiro Oda created a precursor called Romance Dawn. Luffy appears in these stories along with Shanks.
One Piece Romance Dawn is being adapted into a PSP RPG. A scan from V-Jump shows Shanks patting a young Luffy on his head. One Piece Romance Dawn: Adventure at Daybreak uses a command battle system. A screenshot shows a solo Luffy about to pound four sailors with his fists. The game has a 3D world to explore and players will be able to customize Luffy.
One Piece Romance Dawn: Adventure at Daybreak is slated for release this winter in Japan.
One Piece Romance Dawn Has the "Grand Tactical Battle" System
One Piece Romance Dawn is the series' first RPG conversion. Which brings up the obvious question: what will its battle system be like?
V Jump has details in this month's issue. The magazine reveals that the game has the "Grand Tactical Battle System." This is your basic active turn style system. You can assign commands to buttons and make moves until you've used up the turn's available cost.
By stringing together various attacks, you'll be able to form combos. Your attacks vary in such areas as strength and hit rate.
When you connect an attack, you earn "TP." TP can be used to perform special attacks and super attacks.
Franky, Robin, And CP9 Are In One Piece Romance Dawn

On top of Nami and Zoro, Franky and Robin are confirmed as playable characters. Cipher Pol Number 9 are the enemies in One Piece Romance Dawn.
