Out of curiosity, is the US version faster than the JP version? All of the runs I've found are on the US version and I can't seem to find any JP runners running the game. I didn't turn much up on nicovideo. Are there any resources for checking out JP FF runs/runners?

Thanks!

The US version was the first release and Japanese Version 2nd. So because of that a couple glitches in the J-Version got fixed. (The Undead Glitch mostly)

The Life Spell got fixed, means you cant kill Non-Undead enemies anymore with the Life Spell.

• No Instant Kill on Minotaur
• Instant Kill on Flamerous Rex works (And is actually faster)
• You cant Kill Manticores in Pazuzus tower with Life => This is the worst part about this, because these enemies are terrible to Kill otherwise

Also for whatever reason you gain less exp in the Japanese Version, so you mostly will fight bosses 1 or 2 Levels lower (Mostly only notable during Snow Crab because that dude oneshots you if you're not Level 8 )

Since you have instant Text anyways, you dont get any benefits for faster text in the Japanese Version.
