Clunky and tedious
To be fair, I never made it on to the ship because being forced into a boss battle before even setting sail just pissed me right off. I was woefully under prepared. The other battles that I had had were with the other two members of the party. I had help. So, naturally I thought that the help would continue. NOPE!! We are about to set sail at the end of the first battle and I am expected to fight some creature on my own. What a terrible idea and a horrible thing to force on to a player. After dying 3 times and being forced to play the whole scene over again each time I was done. And no part of the game play up until this point really prepared me the player for this experience. Tedious start, running from place to place in too narrow of streets so your constantly bumping in to the NPCs just to move. So incredibly lame. Your set up isn't that pretty or interesting that I want to spend anymore time that I have to running the streets. Take my advice and skip this one.
