#op you've done an excellent job!!

Thank you for the kind words!!! I’m glad you’re enjoying the series :3 💕

Thank YOU for writing the series. Each chapter is so long, you clearly put a lot of thought into this and I just love it. I have one OP fic planned myself, but I haven't even encountered the characters yet in the anime so I have to wait until I do. Gotta do them justice.

I had no idea AUs could feel so natural to the original work, and I just love how each characters vocation fits really well with who they are in Oda's original. You've done an excellent job. And thank you for making the reader a compassionate socialite instead of a super catty one.

"How you've ruined me, my dear barista."

Oh, how you have ruined me, dear OP, please—

Oh my, I am the anon that requested Did You Really Mean It?, and I just wanted to express how grateful I truly am that you took the time out of your day to write such a wonderful piece out of the prompt I had sent in 😭😭💕💞💕💞💕💕💞💕💞

I got the notification that you posted while I was on my way back home and I couldn't contain my excitement upon seeing it and so I just gobbled it up in one go in the car, and to say that you delivered in every aspect would be an understatement. You really shouldn't doubt the beauty of your writing, because if anything, every little piece of yours comes out so wonderfully and you can clearly see the effort that you, the writer, have put into perfecting your work as much as you can.

I specifically adore how your writing never seems to feel rushed, but instead, you take your time to explore the situation at hand with such intricacy and such descriptions that invigorate the deepest of emotions in the reader. You always excel at showcasing the emotion that is being felt by the character and in making the reader feel involved in what is taking place.

Your dainty and intricate way of expressing emotions and describing the state of the characters always finds its way to my heart, and it is very much safe to say that the way in which you write has cemented itself as one of my absolute favourites on this platform.

I loved seeing the way you portrayed the internal conflict that brewed within Felix and the general way in which you characterize him. In every single piece of yours, nothing you portray him as seems to stray far from what Felix himself would genuinely do, and this piece is truly no different.  I felt a pang of guilt all throughout the reading process, and I couldn't help but want to comfort Felix right away.

From the internal thoughts and the true-to-character dialogue, to the splendid descriptions of the gorgeous sunset imagery that you had painted, it all felt just right, for your choice of wording is never anything less than superb.

The reconciliation process felt very natural, and despite the lingering sadness from Felix's behalf, it felt as though it will all be okay in the long run.

I couldn't help but have a bittersweet feeling gnawing at my chest by the end of the fic, and although I can never do this wonderful piece of yours justice, I just wanted to thank you for the delightful journey of emotions that you have put me through with it.

This was a splendid piece of work that I am certain I will be returning to very frequently, and I can't thank you enough for sharing the incredible gift in writing that you have with everyone in this community, as well as all the other communities for which you write. Thank you dearly once more. I hope you can see the undeniable beauty your writing holds for yourself as well. 🌺✨

Omg pleaseeee you’re killing me here! 😭 To have someone say such nice things about a work I wasn’t happy with is sooo uplifting. And to know you liked my interpretation of your prompt is genuinely satisfying- it means my job has been done. I never assume people even think that much about what I write so all your little comments have killed me :)

I kept this in my inbox for a while just rereading it because it was so motivating and sweet and I don’t have much else to say besides I’m so flattered and, um- here’s a kiss? Mwah 💋

One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 - Review

I thought I might be bored once I beat my 500,000th marine lackey, but to my surprise, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 never let the smile fall from my face - except when trying to form me cry with its many faithfully recreated scenes of the foremost exciting moments of 1 Piece.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 may be a fully-fledged Omega Force Musou game that allows you to satisfactorily affect many thousands of enemies on your own as powerful hero characters (or villains). But it comes with most of the standard baggage that accompanies that distinction: it isn't the foremost beautiful game within the world, there are tons of resources reused from previous games and out of doors of some selected boss fights, its accumulations of bad guys offer minimal resistance.

Having said that, Pirate Warriors 4 managed to surprise me with a well thought out lighting system that features a lot of variety scattered in its selection of over 40 playable characters, excellent cooperative support, and a highly respectable reinterpretation of the huge story of 1 Piece.

Wealth, fame, power Pirate Warriors 4's main story mode, Dramatic Log, attempts to synthesize a 1 Piece storyline worth nearly 900 episodes during a single 15-hour campaign. It's an impossible task, to be honest, but tons of effort has been made to form these storybook-style summaries as fun and instructive as they will be. Everything is expressed by the first Japanese cast; there's an honest mixture of storytelling, still images and show scenes recreated within the engine to stay things visually interesting; and once they plan to do everything and make a CG version of the best moments of 1 Piece, they always seem amazing with the soundtrack of the Omega Force guitar that plays the guitar riff that plays within the background, albeit many of these moments are straight-up reused from previous Pirate Warriors games.

It's also worth noting that if you enter Pirate Warriors 4 as anything but an enormous One Piece fan who saw it all until the beginning of the Wano arc currently on the air, you'll have an excellent advantage. this is often definitely not a substitute for actually watching the show.

Pirate Warriors 4 covers six main arches: Alabasta, Enies Lobby, Paramount War, Dressrosa, Whole Cake Island, and an ingenious version of the shuffled Wano bow that exists only to offer Pirate Warriors 4 a true ending from the important Wano bow it's not finished yet. those that have played Pirate Warriors 3 can get some reminder because the only completely new bows are Whole Cake Island and Wano, but Pirate Warriors 4 goes much deeper into each of them than its predecessor, with each arch consisting of a minimum of six missions.

Each chapter has its selection of playable characters to settle on from, with some levels limiting you to at least one character relevant to the story, while others allow you to settle on from a good sort of heroes featured within the scene. I've always taken the chance to undertake a replacement character and, fortunately, these opportunities have come up almost at every turn. it had been this strain that made Dramatic Log fun and interesting throughout its 15-hour span, despite the repetition inherent in Pirate Warriors 4 gameplay.

Dramatic Log is that the main course of Pirate Warriors 4, but there's also the Treasure Log mode which may be a series of mostly contextless levels that accompany their ready-made rewards and challenges. Almost everything in Pirate Warriors 4 is often played with the 2 player co-op mode in split-screen mode, but some Treasure Log levels also can be played with four players online, and as a result, they need unique goals, which is astounding. Multiplayer is certainly a robust point for Pirate Warriors 4, especially considering how easy it's to gather, break some buttons and watch the fireworks fly.

Take it to heaven (piea) If you've already played a Musou game, you recognize what to expect from Pirate Warriors 4 on a basic level. this is often a game all supported simple button presses that cause impressive actions. One who treats enemies as if they were 1,000,000 polystyrene peanuts and therefore the player as if they were a leaf blower.

This is a game all supported simple button presses that cause impressive actions. Pirate Warriors 4 adds some interesting wrinkles to the sheepfold, mainly the power of every character to use aerial combos, which does tons to further differentiate his list. By pressing the jump button within the middle of a combo, the characters take everything around them to the air where they need a replacement series of attacks. Some characters, like Sanji, absolutely thrive within the air where they will use multiple special moves to deal massive damage or use a buff that provides them unlimited resistance, which allows them to continuously cancel and restart combos with an air dash to remain within the air for as long as they need. Other characters, like Jimbei, are hopeless within the air and got to get on the bottom to try to significant damage.

The gameplay is super fast. With the power to attach a 3 to four-hit ground combination, then launch enemies for an additional combo, then combine it during a special move, which may then be canceled in multiple air combos, there's only plenty of movement frantic that always maintain the fluid and exciting action.

Despite this, the implementation of air combat isn't perfect. Some characters are given the choice to fly freely, but the controls are messy. there are no thanks to controlling your height, which may make it frustratingly difficult to truly hit enemies once you are above them, and sometimes characters can move so fast that it is often difficult to specialize in one enemy sort of a commander or boss if you've got to knock them down first.

Above all though, Pirate Warriors 4 may be a One Piece journey of power, and he's specialized at it. Almost every character feels insanely strong in their satisfying way. Luffy especially feels almost unstoppable when he transforms into one among his Gear Four forms, but especially when he's within the sort of Bounce Man and starts to load a Kong pistol that threatens insinuates itself on the heads of many defenseless enemies that are close to being sent on the wing.

Omega Force has also done an excellent job with its progression mechanics. Not only does each character have their skill trees that believe their arsenal of unique moves and stats, but there's also a universal skill tree that gives bonuses to all or any characters. it is a nice system that forces you to form some interesting decisions when it involves statistics on whether you spend resources to form everyone a touch stronger otherwise you specialize in making one character stronger that you simply could only use for one level.

Between the 15-hour story mode, the various additional hours that it'll fancy complete the treasure register, and therefore the unlockable characters that are associated with obtaining the S ranks within the missions, there are tons of useful content in Pirate Warriors 4 which will keep me busy for a few time.

The verdict One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 may be a fantastic One Piece game, and although it's many flaws on the sleeveless top, red buttoned and boater, its clever additions to combat do tons to scale back the infamous tedium that typically plagues the genus musou. It's still a troublesome sale for a non-One Piece fan, but as someone who loves One Piece and was just quite a Musou game, I found tons of things to understand in Pirate Warriors 4.
