I had made the request for the category to be added 3 months ago but the Admins have done nothing. Their "Full Game" leaderboard for whatever reason, doesn't cover actually playing a "full game". But it is obvious that running Any % runs of the game is something that people want to do. I just wish the Admins would take our requests more seriously.
Noticed that my video links to my videos aren't working and it may be why I haven't been credited for my Level 1-50 Any% World Records yet. I'll see if they can be copy pasted without the link and hopefully, they can send be copy pasted into an address bar so that the runs can be verified.
1st Any% World Record (Segmented), set on May 5th, 2018 twitch.tv/videos/258237231, twitch.tv/videos/258253889
New Any% World Record, set on July 1st, 2018 twitch.tv/videos/279659791
"Segmented" refers to a run that is stopped and then restarted. Also known as "Multi Segment".
Just got the clear of the Level 1-50 Main Story in 15 hours, 45 minutes, 39 seconds. That's beats my previous record by nearly 12 minutes. This is despite the fact that I had a really bad party at Brayflox's Longstop. So there is room to lower the record more. We will see how I do next time I try this but for now, enjoy my new World Record!
Yesterday (May 5th), I played FF14 and completed the game in for the Level 1-50 Main Story from the start of the game to the end of the Praetorium and its quest.
The time was 15:57:34. However, the game had a dc at 13:49:45. Because of the fact that I was streaming the attempt on PS4 and from previous experience, knowing that the game will not allow to return to a dungeon that I dc in unless I logout, the stream by default, stopped at this time. I resumed the stream immediately after logging back in and finished the rest of the game, adding 2:07:49, resulting in the time of 15:57:34.
So the question is, would this time be allowed as a world record? because I know that there is such a thing as a "segmented" world record in some other games. Here are the videos from yesterday of the attempt. Let me know if this can be recognized as a world record or not.
Last month, I had suggested the addition of an Any% clear of the Realm Reborn 1st main story from Level 1 - 50 from the start of the game to the end of the Praetorium. I will be committing to doing a run of this category this Saturday on my Twitch page and would like to have an admin to witness. Thanks
Since joining this group, I have been thinking about doing an "Any% Level 1-50 Main Story" run of the A Realm Reborn part of this game from the very beginning to the completion of the Praetorium.
Would it be possible to establish a new category around this idea and if so, what would be the rules that we would have to adhere to in order to have a valid run?
