Ok, so I was the second person to hold the record for the harmony medal back in mid 2019. It was a 41:29.

A week ago, I came back here and was surprised to see the WR being as low as 22 minutes. Back when I was playing it, anything under 35 was completely out of the question, so surely, a lot of crucial game mechanics must have been changed. What are these, exactly? I know that the text has become a lot more skippable, but I don't see anything else as obvious.

I'm pretty sure boost tokens didn't carry over when a new save was started. At least that's how it was 18 months ago.

You're right, the earlier runs were a lot more unoptimized in retrospect. My 41:29 lost so much time from me wanting to get to level 12 to fight Duskit.

At least I was the founder of Snocub and one character names, lol.
