The first thing new French players see in the Burning Seas is a party. The good times end almost immediately as pirates crash and shoot your captain. You dash outside to fight off more scoundrels. This is a really good way to teach players how to fight. Each opponent arrives and paitently waits for you to read the pop up teaching you how to swing your sword or shoot your pistol. After you read the text box and then press the right button, you swing your sword and kill the target. After you dispatch enough of these slow witted ruffians you run off to the long boat to repeat the process on a ship in a nice little sheltered harbor.
Once you run through the fighting and sailing demo missions you return to you dying captain and he sends you off into the world…
