I got the run I was looking for and then some.

Since the last run, I practiced many parts, and worked hard to master more encounter cancels, Pinta manips, fight strats, and a number of other things.

There were a couple unlucky moments, but there always are in a game this long. The overall and especially late game luck here was incredible.

Thanks ArcadiaLegend for helping me figure out mid-run that I could take Bluheim at Lv24 without ever trying it before. The Skies community gets each others backs like that :P
