Around 4 hours 58 minutes to beat on this mode. I completed this game many years ago on the Sega CD compilation version, but I wanted to add it to my Genesis KILL LIST since I never beat that version. Its a minor technicality since the Sega CD port is identical as far as I can tell. I played on easy which doesnt seem to be any different than normal mode except that you start with 9 lives on each continue instead of 3. That means I could abuse suicide magic on a few of the bosses and didnt really need to learn them. I was just going for a kill for the list. I beat the game on Easy back then with the bad ending as well. So this matches that. Ill show how to get the good ending and edit this playthrough down for the tutorial version with commentary, coming soon.
This is the full unedited attempt, showing all deaths on that attempt. I did my practice run on Normal mode and didnt notice a difference gameplay wise. Practice runs are done using save states to replay sections that may cause issues in the legit run.
As far as getting the bad ending, I sent the bitch a text before arriving, breaking off the relationship, so I was in the clear.
