One and done, my first and possibly last speedrun of this game. Split into two videos due to YouTube's 12-hour limitation.

The overall splits are JRTA, but SRC timing is submitted. VOD starts SRC timing at the wrong time (I start on first movement, instead of Yes/No Maribel dialog) and also ends a little late. I have re-timed to 6:02:58.

Not much to say about the run. RNG was definitely in my favor - Warhammer during Lucky Panel and also SO MANY METAL KINGS. Only one wipe (Gracos) but it was early in the fight to minimize time loss.

A couple of fumbles - looking for the church in Raguraz; exiting after Maribel dies to Fire Spirit (I think a quick commitment to death-warp would have been better); revival in the cube town before the 3D maze (I should have sold more backup money in the ship, and also just committed to church + wizard ring sooner); recovery of equipment from Maribel (I had no idea what to do here).

Basically, I was a little short on time to prepare recovery/backup strategies enough.

Should have been a sub-16 but, you know, whatever. No regrets, no complaints.
