The only new thing imo is how in-depth ship customization really is but I haven’t seen that only heard
From what i know, that “non-linear” progression is 1:1 like Arcane Odyssye, however, AO haves a linear story that shadows it. As any side thing you do, fishing, charting, bounty hunting, ship things… all them gives a considerable amount of EXP and unique equipments. Which is no different from what Rell Seas is selling.
That might be true, I might just be conflating what I’ve heard fans say with what the devs have actually said
Yeah, that’s basically what I’ve thought for a while
I will say it’s possible they have said that and I haven’t seen it though I personally haven’t so that’s all I can say
Though the haki system seems unique
The haki system from what we seen at its very base follows the simple formula. Buso for dmg plus defense, Ken for dodging and such, conq being, conq. But you’re able to get more abilities/cards for them expanding what your haki can do and giving you new abilities/passives to expend your kit
Oh it’s meant to be parry-based combat?
Welp that’s another game I won’t play
I personally think parry-based combat is unnecessary overcomplication. While I don’t mind players being awarded for well-timed actions, such games usually require parrying even the weakest enemies’ most basic attacks, and failure usually leads to a stun-lock.

Well, you aren’t wrong
fake Rell Seas release scam which costs robux #4071
They put the runescape skilling system into their game and their ship building system is unique, there was something about their enemy ai system but I’m too lazy to go back and watch their movies and sneaks for that. There was other stuff I guess
Eh, dunno
AO does need some fixes but the Rell folks can’t really be trusted (coming from someone who played from the OA era of them and played pretty much every game they made) when it comes to making a good game (atleast when looking back at it). Also, weren’t a good amount of inspiration for them from Vetex (atleast for when they stated when making that Shinobi Life 2 game, pretty sure remember seeing a screenshot of Vetex being fine with it from them). Most of the reason Rell games have players rn is because it uses an anime franchise. A lot of games with over 8k on Roblox wouldn’t even have half of that if it didn’t use the name of an anime and made the same exact game w/o using the anime leverage.
people calling rell seas an ao killer like people cant just play both 
besides, rell seas is probably gonna end up being overhyped, like jujutsu infinite for example
Im not gonna lie to you gang, we deserve it. Have you seen how people react over things like the savant/ warlord nerf? Literal death threats over a game
If i was vetex id remove savant and warlord all together just out of spite

yeah, I mean I like to hate on vetex as much as anyone but alot of what he does is totally understandable. It’s wrong, he should probably be more professional, but it makes him a relatable character. He just wants to make his game, he doesn’t owe anyone anything
I hate him out of admiration and envy — out of love 
yeahhh he should be more professional but on the other hand its refreshing to see a game dev speak his mind rather than hide it behind corporate talk

Sums up my opinion. It’s like comparing well presented trash(rell seas) to a cake that looks like trash and tastes bland. Now, I could just leave it at that for rell seas vs AO, but i will point out that both have some serious issues that need solving. Rell seems to be very shady, marred in controversy and just uses anime leverage to gain players. AO also has its fair share of controversies, but from what i heard it didn’t get as bad as “vetex purges all devs but himself” bad(it was just contracts expiring). Also as @Octo_Gone said, at least vetex speaks his mind instead of hiding behind corporate speak(though would like to point out that he is fully confident in game design when many baffling decisions have been made on that front). But as of now I will refrain from playing either. FR has left a dim taste both in community and in game.

How can you know Rell Seas is ass if you didn’t even play it?
