I was made aware of this forum thread thanks to irie, I almost never visit this website anymore, and if I do I certainly never even consider looking at the forums so excuse me for that.

I don't really see the point of adding a category like this (even more so with its current suggested rules) at this current moment considering there is not even a single run done for this entire game. However, I do think its a good idea to add it as an option to Table Mountain for now as its a different mode to the regular version of the game. Currently thinking of only accepting in-game time as the time for it as a TA submission, with possible expansion to RTA when people have a video of proof.

Honestly you could just do a regular TMTA or do one with carry-in without having the games "dumb" restriction of having to finish with the gitans. I'm not a huge fan of changing the rules of the game just because you see fit. We already have enough restrictions and changes on the game in the regular TMTA that you might as well just do the challenge in there bringing in whatever you want. I think that would be much more fun either way.

The DS version of the game was only added to prevent the SFC version of these boards to look like absolute trash for something that nobody cared for. These boards here exist for the low chance someone wants to even run this specific version and nothing else.
For now I want to encourage people to play the main category of the game and not think about misc category's with silly rules that can be added later if this game ever grows to that size like we did with PMD.

As always I encourage you to play the game you see fit and do fun challenges with your friends, I just don't think that it fits on here like this, we'll see.

Just making sure nobody follows that video, There is a FASTER route and time online, but it wasn't recorded into a single segment because lack of time of the route creator
All updated routes can be found here: https://ux.getuploader.com/SQRTAmemo/

The fastest time is a 3:22:48

I updated my shitty movement maps with the 6th stratum, glhf

Would it be possible for Etrian Mystery Dungeon http://www.speedrun.com/emd
to be a part of both Mystery Dungeon and the Etrian Odyssey Series http://www.speedrun.com/etrian_odyssey_series
since its a crossover between the two. Thanks in advance~

This sounds like a lot of fun like #TeamBowling last year so count me in!

Etrian Odyssey 3:

Endings Donation War - Donation war between Deep City and Armoroad Endings

Secret/True Ending - $200 total in the donation wars
Even with this ending I need to side with one of the city's, so the donation war would not be useless
This ending adds about 15 minutes to the run

Any donation higher then $10 will enter you for a drawing of a copy of the game (this is the copy I will be using at ESA itself)

If you really want you can add this as well:
Any donation more then $5 made can add a character name.
I will be making 7 characters in the beginning of the run, each can have 9 letters maximum

Considering this game is not that popular, I'm not expecting too many donations, but I might have been a bit too generous with the amounts needed, feel free to change them if needed~

Got a new PB in Etrian Odyssey 3, 1:46:15 in True End, which is about 15 minutes slower then Any%

This should be what the marathon run will look like, except from some obvious (read: not being able to read notes) mistakes. Every input I need to make in the game is on a piece of paper and as long as I just take it a little slow and read it, it should always be sub 2 hours

http://www.speedrun.com/eo3/run/58338

My new estimate for Etrian Odyssey 3 is now 2 hours, now that I've finished the route and its 100% consistent.

First run I did after finishing the route was 2:02:55 and that was with 2 unintentional time wasting resets because I can't follow my own route http://www.speedrun.com/eo3#Armoroad_Ending

I can't believe the current route only takes about 1 hours and 30 minutes (add 15-ish to the normal routes minutes for the true end) considering it used to be a 4+ hour speedrun

I'll be doing a few more runs today for the other endings, and updating that on the leaderboards but considering the game is 99% RNG manipulated there is not going to be much difference.
