This route is almost exactly the same as the routes written by cha0s and haiji. The only difference is the Grand Mondo fight and a few tiny setup things leading up to the fight. cl_op_s created this alternative strategy for defeating Grand Mondo quicker on April 26, 2020. ffvd_games translated it into English and made some modifications to make things more clear and slightly safer. cl_op_s estimates that the best possible time with this route is a mid-33. If there are any inaccuracies/errors/confusing points, contact @FFVDGames on Twitter and it will be fixed ASAP.

LARGE Update 2/22/2021: Fixed all the egregious errors that I missed up until now in the notes (thx SkankinGarbage). Also changed the strat for Grand Mondo phases 1+2 to a more consistent one by SkankinGarbage (start VitalityRune setup turn 2, move VictoryRune T260 to Turn 5, and use AcidBreath Turn 9 to switch back to GroundHit Turn 10). Also added the HP values for each phase.

Minor Update 8/27/2020: Updated the example runs to include ffvd_games' recent PB Update 8/22/2020: Updated the Junk Shop strategy to be more consistent (buying 4 cures before going to Scrap), fixed various formatting/spelling mistakes Update 5/19/2020: Removed the "humans can't die" reset clause of Phase 1 since the humans can't die on Phase 1, added a reset clause for Thunder dying on Phase 1, removed the attack choice on Turn 5 since SharpShot 5 times still deals enough damage, removed the "heal Thunder with only T260" clause of Phase 2, added a case scenario for accelerating the fight by one turn during Phase 2, and added a reset clause for Grand Mondo blocking 2+ attacks on Phase 3 Update 5/15/2020: modified Junk Shop slightly, changed when to buy Cures, clarified some things about the Black/RedDragon fight, modified the equips for Hamilton and T260 at Mondo's Base, clarified the early phases of the Grand Mondo fight, and clarified who to buy Rune magic for. Update 5/10/2020: fixed the Japanese for Devin.
