Boss Speedrun categories

What about having speedrun categories for each boss. There would be an option for level gaps of 20 marked with a U before it, standard/expiditioner, expert, ng and ng+. So I just fought glaise at level 20 and it took me 5:16 seconds, so the category would be glaise expert u20 ng.

This system would allow players who aren't looking to do multi hour long speed runs a chance to engage with clair obscure. Tell me your thoughts on this, below are some rules that I think would help.

  1. Any section includes the level cap, so U20 allows the runner to have all party members to be level 20, 40 and under, 60 and under, 80 and under, and finally 99 and under.

  2. The runner would need to show party level before the fight begins.

  3. The timer starts once you get out of the starting cutscene.

  4. The timer ends once you are out of the flight.

  5. Runners are allowed to use the backup team feature, it takes a lot of time to use this so no reason to restrict it.

  6. Any glitches wouldn't be allowed unless a glitch and glitchless category are added as options.

The fights are timed within the game.... Also the game does not really support IL format like your suggesting that well so establishing and enforcing rules for something so miniscule is just adding tons of extra work to maintain and verify additional runs which don't really highlight or showcase the game in a way that makes sense on a Leaderboard level standing.

Like if you want to do stuff that like then go for it, but don't think we need to have things like that be listed or housed within the boards at least not at this current time.
