While one can argue that storytelling without images is done all the time in drama CDs, usually there is at least some indication of what is happening. Honestly, if I hadn’t seen the anime, I would’ve had no idea what was going on. However, instead you get an irrelevant background with dialogue consisting of “No!” and “How could you!” without any other aids to know what is happening except for a quiet “crunch.” Adding insult to the injury is the lack of voices during these non-animated scenes. This isn’t unreasonable because Romance Dawn does so, sometimes, with other scenes, such as Zoro being tied up or Shanks’s rescue of Luffy. Perhaps show the image of the action happening like with a still shot from the anime. During this scene, a rice ball is thrown to the floor and stepped on by one of the Marines (to simplify things a little). One early example of a scene that fell flat on its face is the first time you meet Zoro. The emotions of the characters rarely change to match the dialogue and there’s only so much simple sound effects, well-written dialogue, and hopping portraits can convey. The “skit” format they used for the dialogue was stylized nicely with the popping bubbles and the jumping portraits, but that’s all they are. The other scenes, though, were not given such royal treatment. This was easily my favorite aspect of the game, simply because it was also my favorite part of the anime.

All of the Straw Hat Pirates’ victories, the new beginnings, and the endings of the characters are shown in their full glory in the original Japanese voices rather than simply relying on dialogue to convey the emotion. It also helped that the scenes they chose to play out through the cutscenes were always the most dramatic and the most poignant of the series. They’re more detailed and have more shading, and I can understand why the game wanted to redo the scenes.
The redone cutscenes by Toei Animation are absolutely beautiful, although they may take some getting used to if you’ve rewatched the original animation lately. The translation is excellent, and I was actually impressed with how well most of the lines fit the characters. I believe what Romance Dawn excels at the most is in the cutscenes and dialogue.
Unlike Pirate Warriors, though, Romance Dawn is an RPG with a fighting system that is just as strangely balanced (or perhaps, unbalanced) as the storytelling is. The events covered are mostly the same, so there’s still no Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Skypiea and so on. This, like One Piece: Pirate Warriors that came before it, focuses on retelling the story of One Piece prior to the Marineford arc. The game takes roughly 50 to 60 hours to complete.One Piece: Romance Dawn is an odd, unbalanced bundle of great potential and awkward execution.
