Hello,

I have amended the rules for speedrun attempts for Any% Earth and Any% Galaxy to not allow Collection Data, as there was unclear language that is not consistent with Any% Universe and Any% Chaos.

This means for Earth and Galaxy difficulty speedruns, no use of Battle Trophies and Monster Jewels from previous game saves are allowed.

Universe and Chaos will continue allowing Monster Jewels and Battle Trophies, as beating the game on Earth/Galaxy unlocks Universe and Chaos difficulty modes.

Hello,

The Final Fantasy Mystic Quest speedrun discord has been deleted as of September 2022.

I'm currently gauging whether we will need a new server or migrate over to the FF Speedruns discord server in #other-games for all future discussions of the speedrun for real-time chat.

There needs to be clarification regarding the rules of 100%.

The old record held by eLmaGus (2:40:45) was set before the item underflow glitch was discovered. However, it was determined that item underflow could be allowed into this run. In recent iterations of the route, the Sun Coin is written in via underflowing the seeds twice (once to get Sky Coin, twice to get Sun Coin) and "duplicating" it in battle to write it in the Key Inventory slot.

What is NOT clear is whether writing the Sun Coin in the Key Inventory slot permits runners to skip Dualhead Hydra. A current iteration of the route assumes that writing in the Sun Coin is the same as the runner has collected the Sun Coin from the red chest in Lava Dome.

I personally believe that collecting the Sun Coin from the chest merits 100% the best, since it still collects the item from the treasure chest. This means Dualhead Hydra will be fought.

Whichever rules the community decides for 100%, I will respect and continue to do 100% runs with this in mind.
