This is part two of a single-segment speed run of all characters of Saga Frontier completed in 6 hours, 40 minutes, and 56 seconds.

Riki Part 2

The second part of Riki following the DVD change was unfortunately quite sloppy. There was one unplanned battle in the slime maze room of Virgil's Palace. It was also necessary to exit and reenter the insect bowling room in order to reset switches. Master Ring could have been faster as well; a 4-5 turn victory is possible with this method. So, poor execution and bad luck ruled the day in the second portion of Riki's quest.

Emilia:

Through Owmi, Emilia's quest was quite clean; however, three unplanned battles were accepted after this point. Diva went relatively well however. Five turns is optimal using this method; I did it in seven. Three unplanned battles for such a short character is quite terrible though; that's around a minute of real-time down the drain.

As a quick aside renaming Emilia "E" would have saved, I think, 1-2 seconds.
I didn't do it as I tended to delete the E whenever I attempted to rename Emilia.

Red:

Vs. the first Shuzer it is actually optimal for Alkarl to use Punch (Kick may have a faster animation) and ShiningKick as opposed to ShiningKick X 2. Also, my movement in the actual town portion of Shrike could have been slightly optimized. Additionally, the batlle with the Guncart and the Rocky on the Cygnus can be lost possibly saving a bit of time. Clowps is working on a TAS of the chapter, so thank you 聖天使猫姫 for these micro-optimizations. There were no unplanned battles during the first portion of Red's chapter.

It is possible to defeat Berva in three turns; this run took four. I was quite happy when I saw Red spark Heaven-Hell spark in that battle.
