I recently did SO: FDR for the 12 hour speedrun, and attempted to write down some sort of speedrun guide for me/the community, since I noticed there were no current guides for beginners.

I mostly jotted down some bullet points and the lore while watching some runs, and want to hopefully get a guide/resource on the SR page. So, I put my notes in an editable google link, in hopes that we can get the ball rolling there.

The link is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QRWd8niDuxNaHMEZra9XFaLTeVweh-n_RavU8SQE3QI/edit

It's also in the Star Ocean Speedrun Discord if people want to find it there as well.

Please keep in mind that this draft is a VERY ROUGH AND VERY BAD outline. So, if you're confused in any way, don't worry. It's just because I'm bad at this. :-)

My play notes were still there, so I made some additions. There are some parts that I wrote in my imagination, so there may be contradictory contents.

The names of people, places, etc. may be different from the names in the English version because I translated what I wrote in Japanese.

Awesome! Thanks so much! This is super detailed and a great guide to view!

Plus some other strats I wasn't doing. Ha!
