User blog comment:J Fan/The Sunset - Pearl or Revenge?/@comment-996391-20120526060344/@comment-1984959-20120526214748

Depends if they still have that barge...yea, the Pearl was portrayed by a barge. Personally, if it comes down to the Sunset being the QAR and some other ship as the Pearl, I'd rather see a new full ship built rather than a barge...or at least something as seaworthy as the Sunset was. That was one of the things I liked most about the Pearl from P2 and P3, it actually looked like a sailing vessel. While P1's Pearl however, didn't have very many parts like that, save for a few scenes.

This is just my opinion, of course.
