This is the Japanese leaderboard for Ar nosurge: http://niconamarta.sakura.ne.jp/index.php?game=%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%83%8E%E3%82%B5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A5
As of May 2017 there is a new HDN community Discord which will serve as a home for both general fans of the series and speedrunners for the foreseeable future. The Discord aims to be more gameplay-focused than other HDN servers out there with a dedicated room for each game/set of games, though there is still a room for Nep media.
You can use this link to join: https://discord.gg/JPJKHFH
Most of the channels are public. If you're a speedrunner of one or more games in the series you can get a "speedrunner" role to access more administrative rooms such as those for marathon planning and leaderboard administration - just PM any user with the CPU role once you've joined.
Japanese leaderboard for Ar tonelico Qoga: http://niconamarta.sakura.ne.jp/wiki.php?game=%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%83%88%E3%83%8D%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B3%EF%BC%93
Japanese leaderboard for Ar tonelico: http://niconamarta.sakura.ne.jp/index.php?game=%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AB%E3%83%88%E3%83%8D%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B3
Currently, there are several different timings for the final split:
Phase 2
- Selecting "I'll live a happy life with Aurica/Misha"(Jiseed)
- When the cursor for "Fin" appears(msty, Japanese timing)
Phase 3
- When the game is saved after the credits(Branch)
- When EXEC_PHANTASMAGORIA/. begins(Jiseed)
- When the cursor for "Fin" appears(msty, Japanese timing)
I propose using the Japanese timing, that way the final split is the same for every category and version. If you agree or disagree, please let me know.
