Is there any difference between the JAP and USA version of this game? The question is because there's a new category called "segmented JAPANESE" and i want to know the reason why only japanese and not the USA or PAL :) thanks for the answer

There is a huge difference in difficulty between the two releases. Japanese is the hard version while the English releases are the easy ones.

Japanese Version:
- Magic & items deal less damage.
- Enemies/Bosses have more HP.

In a speedrun the difference isn't shown much until you get to the final disc. 

If you are interested in seeing how difficult the JP version is, watch the japanese fight of The Last Kraken and compare it to the english version.

If a segmented English run shows up a new category will be made for that as well! So far no segmented run has been done. If you are doing disc segments, then that will also classify as a segmented speedrun.
