As far as I'm aware, this is the fastest time for this game. However, there isn't much competition, if any, for this game, let alone segmented. So I really do not want to actually call it a WR. Though it was still quite fun to work on this regardless.

There's still lots of improvements to be made to this run (Especially considering this run is made up of 95% my own research). I mainly finished it with mistakes for the sake of route demonstration and revision. It's definitely possible to get this under four and a half hours.

Some major things would be (Aside from just not keeping a couple bad segments):
-Not getting that Skill Upgrade A before T-elos that I used on Shion. (It's actually not needed, as I used a different strat against Mai/Leupold that makes her useless, period)
-Not buying equipment for party members I'm not using. It turns out that stats modified with equipment does not affect E.S. stats. So next run will save money and menu time from buying less equips. (I at least figured this out by the last chapter though. lol)
-Some boss strategies need revision as well, but I feel like most of them are the best that can be done. (Not execution, but general strats)
-To be more careful with boosts for the first few chapters of the game, such as the CAT Testing Facility. (I had to waste time with a trap on a mech before Aludra Calf)
-Figuring out if the EX Skill Key I on Miltia is actually worth it or not. (It might not be)
-Testing out skipping most of the enemies at the start of the Floating Landmass, and then seeing how doable the E.S. Naphtali battle is without much anima. (Which will then lead me to test whether or not KOS-MOS learning Cannon I really is worth it or not)

My initial goal with this game was to get under six hours. I've come quite a long way after finishing several runs, and I can still lower it further with fixes, revisions, and an overall more serious run.
