Thank you for the event!
Event
This event comes as a good surprise to me. At the first teaser I set high expectations because of the pirate theme, and I was ready to be disappointed. But alas, it did not disappoint.
Outfits
The outfits are surprisingly well done. I have to say the Fancy Mermaid outfit seems a little naked. I wish there was a dress similar to the Poulpa Queen outfit from last year, however, the skin/tail work is the best I've seen yet. I also appreciate the Summer Event tab in the shop. I hope this tab trends into the following events.
The Missions
The missions are well laid out, and it seems a bit more than an exploration event without being overwhelming (like the Valentines events can be). The instructions are beautifully done.
The Mini-Games
The first mini-game is easy to play, though quite deceiving. What I first assumed was 3 tries per day, I think you can hit 3 obstacles in the game before failing, but you get 1 try in general.
The second mini-game took a little to get used to, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy. I got all 7 fragments in one try.
The Illustrations
Erika in the first illustration was well done. She shows enthusiasm in a great way. The other characters feel emotionless, though. The boat and the splashing water is well done.
The second illustration is by far my favorite event illustration we've received. The colors are beautiful, and it really sets the scenery.
Blobbiathan
I'm glad we finally ended this joke (though I won't know what to expect next April fool's). Though funny at first, the joke lasted longer than it should have. And you flawlessly turned 2 Magikarps into 1 shiny Gyarados. It's the best companion in the game, though it will be expensive to keep up with. Unpopular opinion, but I like the Alchemy mini-game. The idea of fusing Blobby and Blobbette into a giant leviathan was well executed. I wasn't expecting the 450 maana to fuse it, though it's worth it.
Other
The only thing I dislike is your timing. If you're going to make a post on Friday saying to save companions energy, please at least either say the event is happening on Monday, or schedule the post for the day before the event starts. I don't think your "mystery date" is a great strategy any longer. Posting a date of at least when it starts would be nice.
Anyway, great job, team. Now keep up the good work.
