I'm thinking of adding a Time Attack category for both Ys I & II, but before I do, I'm curious if (1) there's enough interest. And (2) if we should make it full runs only, or make sub-categories for each of the boss times. The reason I wonder about point 2 is because unlike other Ys games, you can't individually select to try a certain boss; you either go through the whole loop, or you don't. But, the games still track your overall best times for each boss, but that may only be if you save and quit the times afterward (not sure of that).

I personally really like the idea of adding a Time Attack category, I'd certainly be interested in running it. I'd vouch for the full-runs-only approach because it's simpler and the bosses can't be tackled individually, as you said.

It would be much quicker than other categories and there's a built-in timer, so I think it has potential to be very competitive!

I went ahead and added the category for both games, so feel free to submit your times!

In-game times should be just fine for this category, unless the timer runs incorrectly or something (which I don't think is an issue, though it will pause between a boss being defeated and transitioning to the next one).

The only thing to note is that the in-game timer only has 2 digits for the milliseconds, but the submission form will ask for 3. For now, just entering 2 digits or simply adding a 0 afterwards should be fine (example = my Ys I run is a 3:03.89, but the leaderboards here show it as a 3:03.890).
