Hi all, I just wanted to let it be known that it is possible to purchase run changing items outside of playing the actual story-mode. These items you can purchase are solely purchasable outside of the story in the Free Battle Shop, however they carry on into story playthroughs. For the sake of creativity and fairness when routing and playing the actual story-mode, I think these items purchased through the Free Battle Menu should be banned. I think it's only fair that items obtained through the speedrun itself should be usable. As far as I know, nobody has attempted to use these items, but I saw an opportunity and think it would be unhealthy for the run... otherwise everyone could just use the highest DPS bentos for every fight starting with Yamato by purchasing them in Free Battle beforehand. Anyone's thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks. I've left photo examples to further elaborate what I'm talking about.
