Balance is way off. I've played other games of this type but this one sucks hard. The balance between what you can collect compared to the usage of weapons and armour in order to do so is massively out of whack. Impossible (without spending money at least) to progress in the game AT ALL. You will just go to islands to grind materials whilst using as much, if not more, than you are grinding in order to do so. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AS IT'S SET UP CURRENTLY.
