Here is the Japanese Leaderboard for Tales of Symphonia: http://niconamarta.sakura.ne.jp/index.php?game=cmd=read&page=%E3%83%86%E3%82%A4%E3%83%AB%E3%82%BA%E3%82%AA%E3%83%96%E3%82%B7%E3%83%B3%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%8B%E3%82%A2
Are you not allowed to run the game on Japanese on the leaderboards here? or is there some glitch that the Japanese version can't achieve? Was just wondering why nobody uses the JP version
The Japanese version has an exclusive glitch which makes it faster than the English Gamecube version for New Game runs (The glitch is useless for New Game + so Jp and EN NG+ are fine), so it's considered a different category due to that. You can do runs of JP if you wish. Maybe in the future I could submit a Japanese leader board for it exclusively.
