I'd say a Discord is a good idea, but feel like I'm in the same boat here as someone who just managed to do 1 full run so far (while it's a relatively short RPG, time availability is still a pain :P ).

I'm kinda curious how OP the voucher makes you? I never really went in depth on that one, but I never felt like I was weak during the game using the speedrun strats as it is. Especially when you steal Sigmunds weapon in the camp, you're quite strong for that part of the game. So until what point would the voucher be beneficial?

Looking at the board there is only one USA runner that has a time about 40 minutes slower than most JP runners. Outside of turbo controller being used, is this because the quality of play maybe better on the JP board, or are there any regional exclusive tricks or glitches that make JP runs faster than the US/EUR version?

Made this sticky and I also linked the Discord in the game information.
