For those who haven't seen it in single player challenges topic Luis had this awesome idea of speedrunning LostMagic. Anybody else here interested or have some tips or strats to save time? I'll be doing a single segment run when I have the time and get around to backing up my file so I can take a pic of my time but I'm also interested in any segmented runs you guys might want to do instead.

Edit: I'll just be starting at a time like 10:00:00 and looking at what time it is when I finish.

BTW this is with a fresh file not new game+.

I won't be doing this any time soon. I need that time to come up with strategies for the individual levels and ways to improvise where I can't draw perfect first before the single segment run. Also I'm only one guy there's going to be some things I'm missing so I need other guys doing this if you guys are interested in achieving a good time which is why I made this. Also even when that single segment does come who knows if I'm the best one here at doing the speed running. I don't even have a video camera to record it. I mean if there's enough people interested I see this as being the future of the game. We've talked about Wi-Fi now we have this huge part of the game we haven't tried.

Awesome. I have no problem with you keeping your records here and if anything it would be a help for me so I can have something to compare my times to.

Anyway I actually did a test single segment this morning where I didn't really obsess over little errors and just wanted a general time to shoot for and the game was laughably easy. Basically just running around killing things with perfect fireballs and using your monsters as cover often not even bothering to heal them because everything dies so fast because of the perfect fireballs. I have no idea how so many people have trouble with this game anyway. I got up to the part right before choosing the fire or earth sage in Chapter 3 in 40 minutes. Any the game can either be this easy or at the same time incredibly hard if I actually did restart every time I did an imperfect fireball or tried to cast something when I didn't have the mana. I'll be doing a segmented run.

my thoughts exactly. i figured i might as well do a bunch of perfect fireballs to go through the game not careing bout anything else. capture a monster here and there

I started this morning. Way harder than I expected. It's going to take me a while to get good at this.

I'd be willing to play you. Just tell me the time. I was going to be retired but this speedrun deal has changed everything.
