My first t Run I was able to do it at 10th level

Well, the experience difference between the starting characters and the new characters would be routed in as well

Well it's only the beginning of the runs until you get the second set of chracters.

Plus, every run would need every single enemy encounter you get because experience was tight as it were when doing a casual run.

It has 2 sides for starts. P4 and P3 currently on normal are the only two run types the kiss have put in. I'm doing a p3 run to test a team and currently my best team is using p3 and aegis of course with shinjiro, ren and Ken. Both sides would use ten because recovery is a really powerful move to stay alive and frozen spear is good against the swords which is also good. Ken has Hama. Which when you do p4 side start, naoto has hama and kudo

Also, I'm thinking time would start upon either when you choose the protagonist or when you are first able to fast forward all the chat options.

I know from beating this game before that the best party members are Front Row: Aegis, Kanji, P4AU Back Row: P3AU, Naoto So it does end up being 3 from p4 and 2 from p3 but they are the strongest in the game, naoto would be abused in a speed run becuase she is able to use the insta-kill abilities en mass. aegis used to draw attacks when you need to grind, kanji for the same, P4 is physically stronger than P3 and P3 is used almost purely for his strength in magic attacks. From testing out the theories I read I figured out they are the best, I'm trying to develop a strategy to get through the first chapter with only using the certain needed characters, but I haven't been able to route it out yet. and since we have the any% runs only, I'm figuring we don't do many extra side quest things, and it will be RNG heavy based on the sub-persona cards that are given The sub-personas are JUST AS IMPORTANT as the characters we choose to run with.

In terms of speed or just a casual. Casually I have finished in 33 hours. Developing a speed run, I feel like it could be finished in 12-16. Anywhere between 3 and 4 hours per chapter. Skipping cutscenes, doing crits, farming for exp and setting up a team so they can rush through without the risk of wiping you can get through the first 2 levels of Alice in about an hour to an hour and a half. Again, still developing a run.

This is a game with almost no following so allow me to be the first? I saw this has no following and wanted to try to contribute. I have no way of recording gameplay so I can show you a speed run but I have started developing strata to do so. Hope to help grow a following for this game!
