The rules don't clarify whether the run can be segmented or not. Can a moderator clarify? Must a run be made without breaks to be legitimate? Or can I save, go to sleep, and pickup later from that save-point? The runs seem pretty brutal if segmentation is not acceptable...

If all runs must be single-segment, maybe add that to the rules?

There is a category in the Miscellaneous section called "Sessions %" that breaks the run into 3 chunks that can be done at your own pace. Read more here: https://www.speedrun.com/Xenogears/full_game#Miscellaneous The remaining categories are all RTA, Real Time Attack meaning that the timer continues to run no matter what until the run is completed. The Fast Text categories shorten the run by about 5.5-6 hours also. I would encourage you to look at the all of the leaderboard more to understand the categories and how long they take better.

Got it! I should have looked through the rules more carefully, but I appreciate the quick replies. Thanks very much!

Hello. I read that playing this on PS3 adds an excessive amount of time; I'm wondering if that applies to physical copies, digital copies or both?
