This feels like a pretty odd category, to be honest. If you have the game already done, then it's literally just optimizing movement. If you do it in Any%, like Falcon said, it's just a waste of an Any% run. I think it'd be better if you started from the postgame. The only questions I have would be: Is there going to be a certain required starting position (i.e. from the helipad of any of the 3 islands)? And what counts as the back wall for certain digsites with more than one area? i.e. pretty much every site.

This is the only game I speedrun, Fossil Fighters: Champions. It's a relatively long game, and I think that turns away a lot of runners. Here's the leaderboard: https://www.speedrun.com/ffc Honestly, the game is kind of hard to access right now because of stupid scalpers, but if you can get your hands on one, I think the game is worth it. Lots of people say it's a Pokemon ripoff, though, and... I don't think that's true at all. But I digress. Any% is sort of fun in my opinion, but probably my least favorite of the 2 main categories. I prefer NG+, but it's a very simple run, where all you do is spam one or two attacks in fights, mash dialogue, and try to have optimal movement using a combination of the Touch Screen and D-Pad. But if this post attracts a new runner, I'm all for it!

Fossil Fighters: Champions Any%. The run is approximately 4 hours long. The current WR is 3 hours, 32 minutes in-game time, but the IGT calculator is broken in this game. It's a very RNG dependent run, trust me, and there are absolutely zero discovered skips to speed up the run.

Hey there. I'm GuanlongX, and I currently hold the WR for NG+. I love running NG+ given how... simple it is, at least with the current routing. I'm on a sort of journey to smash the 2:15 barrier and get a 2:14. Good luck to you on all your guys' runs, the Lord knows we need it!

I mean, we could have separate categories in which we do either NG+, Any%, or even postgame.
