1st let me say i love what you guys have done here, last time i had played was in version 0.4 and i like the changes made to the story in the beginning of the game.
That being sayd, i liked the old story where the MC as having fun with Captain Swift, you can still go and talk to her after but it felt better before.
Also a bit weird and unnatural how the MC goes from being ridiculed by her, to a BH without us seeing or hearing Captain swift reaction or thoughts on it, Cmon let us rub it in her face a bit at least. it would be a nice addition to the prologue.
The card system is op i just did a bit of grind for like 2 or 3 hours and got all 4 girls max stars and equipped 5 tashigi cards in 3 or the girls and 5 hibari cards and it makes it too ez. I did it in easy mode so on Pirate King mode should be a bit harder but still did not take more than 5 or 6 hours. I think common cards should only give +1 to 1 stat and go from there with the SR cards giving +3 to all stats at most.
Also i would like to see the name of the island im currently in on the top bar, while i was jumping from shop to shop to buy cards and make money for upgrades it was ez to get lost and loose track of wich islands i had already bought the cards and took the money from.
I also think card packs should be more expensive to buy and not sellable, and not have a limit of how many you can buy.
This would make it a lot easier to recicle money and sell all your stuff to just one trader, wich would make it a bit op. So you could also make it so money from packs bought not go into the stores money.
Heck a complete separate merchant for cards would be the best option honestly.
One last small thing if possible and inventory with squares instead of a list would be alot better. When i go farming and have way too many items its a pain to find what i want. And i imagine as the games progresses and more items are added it will only get worse.
But thats all. Overall i like it a lot. Keep up the great work.
