New Categories & End Time Conditions

Now that we've had a few runs submitted for Oltura% we can start moving forward with more categories! I'm happy to introduce Hatch% and Flight%!

Hatch% ends when Ratha hatches in Rutoh Village. Time ends when the loading icon appears before the cutscene that plays when you return to Rutoh Village (the cutscene when Ratha hatches).

Flight% ends when Ratha gains the ability to fly in Lamure. Time ends when the loading icon appears before the cutscene following the Black Diablos fight (the cutscene when Ratha flies).

Additionally, the ending criteria for Oltura% has been adjusted (slightly) to match these categories. For Oltura%, time ends when the loading icon appears before the cutscene following defeating Oltura's last phase (the last cutscene ).

As always, all submissions will be retimed to meet this criteria. Additionally, you may submit the same speedrun to multiple categories, meaning an Oltura% run can submit to Hatch% and Flight%, and a Flight% can submit to Hatch%. At this time, Demo% can only be performed on the Trial Version of the game. As such, Oltura%, Flight%, and Hatch% runs cannot be submitted to Demo%.

When I can, I'll follow up soon with a demonstration of the timing criteria. Thank you all, and I look forward to seeing new submissions! - JalBagel
