I am fairly curious as I want to do an any% NG+ speed run on hard. Are you allowed to skip cutscenes? Or are they a requirement?
What Lonne said. Not all cutscenes are skippable though for some reason. It was a big meme back in the day that random cutscenes can be skipped and some can't.
My suggestion to you is to do a casual run through whilst making a note of which cutscenes can and can't be skipped then refer back to that when you do your run!
Alright thank you! I did a practice run earlier today. (I clocked in at a depressing 5:03:13 seconds.) What I found out about my console frustrates me. PS4 blocks the finale cutscenes from being recorded. So I had to lose time to set up a really shotty setup to film the rest with my phone.
Makes me worried that will count against me and make my run obsolete honestly. I want to do the run over again for a quicker time in the future, but that might make me hesitate.
