Leaderboard adjustments and general info.

Hey everyone.

After a long time we have decided to separate the runs on the original version from the runs done on the english translation patch. Main part of the reasoning for that is the somewhat major discrepancy in speed between the original version and the english fan translation. Personally, I'm an advocate of "play the fastest version available." when it comes to speedrunning. However, given the circumstances of the english version not being an official release version, it is needless to say that this mindset doesn't quite apply in this scenario, therefore we've decided to split them now that there's more of an impact due to an influx of new runners for this game.

As an added piece of info; Neither version obsoletes each other meaning you can have a time in both sub categories if you feel like it.

There was also an update to the rules section for both, the game in general as well as the (sub-)categories to clarify certain things a little more. Keep in mind, some of these could be subject to change in the future but for the time being they appear quite appropriate so make sure to read through them.

As for some general information updates.

Somewhat recently there have been new extra patches for the english translation that actually alter the gameplay (e.g. double EXP, Manicure being sold in Mercury's solo arc in chapter 2, etc.). Some of you might unknowingly be using those versions, so make sure to double check that if you plan to do a run on an english translated version.

Edit 2021/11/12:

Minor update to the emulator rules happened a few hours after initially posting it so make sure to re-read them if you haven't already.

Another thing I want to point at is that it's approaching the end of the year and people are generally more busy during these times, especially given that a lot of game releases are happening soon as well. If any of your submissions are sitting in queue for a bit longer do not be alarmed. We will get to them eventually even if it'll take a bit of extra time.
