(Seizure warning at 3:27:08)
Not quite sure why the footage turned out so bad. Sorry about that.
Anyway, this run was a long time coming. Not just because the 8-hour barrier has been smashed, but also because everything that could happen but hadn't happened yet finally happened. ...If that makes any sense. The Destroyer Dragon finally got me. Lore-a-Lua finally got me. First try SKY fight. First try Sleepy Hollow. First try Scaber 1 & 2. Icicle goddamn Eden.
I could break down what went well and what didn't, but I think it's all pretty clear. I can't explain any time loss or gain before Jigowatt, and most everything from then until Sleepy Hollow was simply hot garbage. Everything after that wasn't.
But holy fuck I'm stoked! I had no idea I was going to smash 8 hours so damn hard! And not only that, but this time is over an hour faster than my original 8:52:15 run! That's nuts! Consider me retired—for a long while, at least.
