I feel completing the game up to the "Monster Hunter" quest is too tedious and not what speedrunning is about. In my personal experience I was barely able to complete that quest with g rank gear, which we cannot get unless we also do the gathering hall quests, which is unreasonable for a single player to do in addition to the village quests. Unless I am greatly misinformed here, I believe it is not reasonable for someone to complete the "Monster Hunter" quest in high rank gear, and it's certainly not something I would like to even attempt. I believe this is why there are no submitted runs and general lack of interest in speedrunning this game. I would like to propose 2 categories, either of which I feel are more reasonable to complete. 1st, complete the Village Chief's quests up to the last urgent, which I believe is Secret Request: Hypnocatrice, thus excluding Nekhot's quests completely; Or secondly, complete the guild hall quests up to and including the final urgent: Absolute Zero.
