The biggest change that I loathe is the Void Century. The initial concept seemed too fantastical to be true. A 100 year chunk of history that has been cut out and scrubbed from the record? So there was contiguous history from before that, right?...right?
Spoilers for Manga
Elbaph has been good so far, but learning that actually there's a shitton of history from before the Void Century that has all been covered up, and actually it would be more correct to just call the Void Century the start of recorded modern history, was a huge let down. That's just Big Brother from 1984, it's not nearly as impressive that the WG was able to craft their own narrative when they were the only ones coming out of an apocalypse.Oda's really big on rule of cool and having flashy setpieces in the moment, and that's fun. It's just a very disappointing world when there are so many examples of the audience being told one thing, only for the information to be changed later.
That must be in some of the newer content, but yeah that sucks.
And yeah, it's definitely rule of cool, which is fine and lot of fun, but doesn't make for consistency/good world building.
