I have made an Autosplitter for LR which splits on day ends and a few key mandatory fights. It can be accessed in Livesplit by editing splits, selecting Lightning Returns as the game, and activating. If there are any questions or new split requests, let me know either through this website or the FFXIII Trilogy Discord Server and I'll get right on it.
I included a new version of TheOOT's Load Remover in the Autosplitter. TheOOT's load remover didn't mark many things that were loads as loads, and also had trouble correctly identifying the loads associated with traveling to and from the Ark. Specifically, if you don't skip the day-end cutscene, the entire trip to the ark is marked as a load, while skipping it meant none of the trip was marked as a load, meaning it was "faster" to not skip the cutscene.
If there are no concerns, I propose that we begin using this new load remover for the "No Loads" time on the leaderboard moving forward.
Just kidding. Where you at, Flobber? Time to turn off OW and get to work.
