Exploration in One Piece Odyssey Explained
The latest entry is adding a mechanic that the creators are calling “Field Action,” which, in other words, means actions that players can use to interact with the world around them. This mechanic goes even further by allowing each character to have their specific field action unique to themself. For example, to progress into particular locations or storylines, the player must use a field action that will work at that current moment. Players can switch between all characters while exploring the world to access these field actions to make this work.
The Bandai Namco website gives an example explaining, “Luffy can use his Gum-Gum powers to obtain items from afar, while Zoro can cut through iron treasure chests to collect items inside.” With all the confirmed characters so far, there will be a lot of available field actions and could add a lot of backtrack potential once you unlock them all.
