I obviously couldn't let a 5:00 stand...
Here it is though, the world's first sub-5 hour speedrun of Vay!
I thought at first this game would not be my cup of tea really because of the dense enemy encounter rate and length... Well the length still kinda asks too much...actually- AND the encounter rate IS pretty overbearing...
But anyways, I DID end up really liking this run in the end.
It was fun once the plan came together and everything was fairly streamlined.
That said, there are still some improvements to be had here honestly. I figure this game could settle somewhere in the sub 4:30 space in the end.
There's a WHOLE lotta RNG on top of it all. Do you have to use the full party healing items at the first few bosses? Or are you STRAPPED going into the final boss and can therefore skip some treasures.
And the save walking! WOW! What a weird-ass mechanic. For a game with this many encounters though it really IS the answer. I'm sure it saved my run a dozen times at least.
I feel pretty content to leave this time here for now.
Maybe this is a game I play again down the line...I mean, this WAS only 1 month of playing, really so...that's much appreciated...
But I mean...it's still just...so long...
But I hope some players get interest and take this game even farther! It's fun once you get used to it.
This game is also weirdly consistent to run. I think I've only dropped like 40% of attempts and haven't dropped one in a WHILE.
So that should be encouragement for future runners!
So...KEEP GOIN FAST!
Nick Doane - - off - AND AWAY!
