I didn’t even know this run existed before Korzic told me during the relay event so I’m posting it here. Looks like Normal routing just got even more complicated…

The guy improved his time and it’s now faster than my English version WR.

Improved again to 1:20′31″, this time is pretty ridiculous… haven’t watched it yet, I wonder if he uses any new strategies.

I wonder how much faster XSEED version actually is, considering this guy is making full use of turbo now.

Wow I forgot about this. Watching it now…

The early game grind/farm is completely different as I thought, that’s so cool. He’s getting 50 Emel from the flowers like I did on Nightmare, but refreshing the first group of them over and over. He powers up the sword, then grinds bombs along the way and grinds the Wing of Alma room thanks to Livart’s whirlwind special attack. That’s a really interesting route, I have a bunch of variations I want to test too though…

His Ud-Meiyu stage is incredibly quick, he doesn’t bother to farm or grind much at all. Still fights with 181HP though. He only levels up to 186HP after the boss, though. I don’t think there’s any point in doing that… he’ll have to farm for longer in Limewater Cave anyway. Might as well kill the enemies that are on the way…

He’s still doing the “Escape” movement wrong. Must not have seen my video.

Wow, he actually uses the Capla Water to kill Piana-Pullus… wtf, even kills Gaposasura. Thanks to that he doesn’t have to grind bombs in Kishgal, enters with 313HP and is 319HP after killing them once… I don’t think going for Gaposasura is worth it, but maybe Piana-Pullus is? 19353 EXP is a damn lot, that’s the equivalent of 24 bombs, and you get an amazing item from it too (Emelas Gloves, +5 STR/DEF). I actually think this is worth it even on Normal, wow, more Nightmare strats going over to Normal… routing Nightmare was the best thing I ever did. lol Using the Capla Water for it should be unnecessary, just need to get into the fight with all 3 swords’ magic filled, and unleash.

Uhm wtf, he used Livart’s magic to do the jump skip at the end of Kishgal… lol

Wow, he died at the Ark. Also used the last 2 Capla Water to spam 3 Ericcil magic really quickly, which almost instantly killed phase 2 lmao. I wonder if I should start trying to fight Ernst without Capla Water… I don’t think it’s viable without turbo though.

Overall, his movement is hella reckless and fast, despite that it’s devoid of mistakes almost.

…I was certain I had posted it, but apparently not? He improved to 1:16′57″

Haven’t watched it yet, but this time is pretty insane. Makes me wonder whether XSEED version is actually faster or not (compared to using turbo, anyway).

The madman finally did it. 1:08’26 with Early Kishgal:

Wow, so somebody managed to find a consistent setup for early Kishgal? I had tried a couple times, but was unable to come up with anything.
