I have a US copy of the game but I have a thinking that the JPN copy of the game is actually faster with the texts. If someone could help time texts on JPN and US copy that'll be great
I was curious about that too. I have a JP version ,so I can help you. What should I do? Or, if you run NG+, you don't have to care about that. In US/EU version you can skip some chapters ,so definitely faster than JP.
I'm learning the New Game category. And from what I can tell either the texts on English is slower than Japanese, or my load times are utter shit. Either way, I feel that something from the JPN copy might be somewhat faster than the US copy.
On top of that I was wondering about why isn't there something like an IGT for the leaderboards? I notice that if you save your game there's like a little IGT in the game itself, so probably if you save the last chapter you could see IGT and that could be the indicator of IGT for the speedrun. Just my two cents on the speedrun, but it's alright if the game is on RTA anyways.
Your idea is interesting. But it turn out that there is no difference between RT and IGT. I timed from the final save of NG to the save after clear including some loads, movies and credits, then compared to IGT. Those times are literally the same. So using IGT doesn't work as you think.
I checked when I finished my PB run. They added in the last unskippable credits so it also incurred time into the IGT, so I guess there's no point anyways.
Other than that the only thing that's left is the region copies of the game. And I don't know if it's me, but only on the first chapter when the lights went out, your lights goes out around 6:10, while people like me and RazorMan97 who runs the game on the US copy goes out around 6:30.
So I think there's a huge difference with the US and JP copies of the games due to texts.
I checked my and your video and found interesting matter. There is no difference in opening movie or in game text. The difference comes from the text before each chapter. I will time the actual differences.
