This episode shows the playing time progression made on my save file during the month of January 2025; the goal is to possibly obtain Excalibur II after the game's clock's reset, that should occur after reaching a little more than 19884 hours of playing. 576 hours and 12 minutes of playing time have passed during this episode to reach a total of 10282 hours and 28 minutes of playing.
Corrections/complementary info section:
As a reminder, the threshold of playing time equivalent to approximately 2330 hours and 10 minutes is a "cap" that prevents the game to calculate a positive value when it comes to know how much time passed between two visits of a Qu's Marsh, meaning it is not possible for the frogs to mate and reproduce in the current save file (the mechanism will be restored if the clock resets). Demonstration of the impact of reaching the cap in the following video:
• Threshold after which it is no longer...
The ingame clock is slightly slower than a normal clock.
If the playing time that passes during an episode/month is well below the 680 hours mark, this means that there were some complication (power outages most of the time).
If I ever notice that there is something missing regarding a character's stat or an item's quantity, I will resort to using a gameshark code or so, because I know I won't have the patience to restart the challenge from the beginning. If I encounter a cap that blocks the game's clock before reaching 19884 hours of playing, I will stop the playthrough.
The "fade to green" transitions represent the timeskips.
