Hi everyone, hikarutetrio here! I've been routing this new category for several months now. Introducing: the Marriage Glitchless% category! Basically, it's as same as the current categories we have, but I have to beat that without using any glitches like the usual thing. (previous buy glitch, rng manipulation, etc.) So why i'm routing this? In my opinion, it's kinda more challenging way to play this game, and I'll be less frustated about the RNGods. What do you guys think about this? Let me know! P/S: Moderators pls approve this P/S (1): The routing will be done in the next month, if I'm not lazy though...
Update: After making progress in RF1 Any%, I decided to get back on routing, and it's done now. I'll upload that to the Guides section, and now it's gonna be a matter of time for who got it first. The route can still be improved, with help from the community, and yeah I can't do it myself. Thanks to O.D.W for helping me with getting information and make this possible! P/S: It might be confused to read, cause my English is not good.
Hello, I've taken a look at your route for the glitchless category and I'm gonna start working on it
The route can still be improved, though. With new developments currently work in progress, it seems the run will reach the sub 6 mark (I was doing some test run, no recording tho, and it's very likely to be around 6 hours or longer, don't know if it was hard or just me suck at the game.) Good luck, fella!
I've submitted a run to a Moderator for request the Glitchless category now, it's actually way faster than I expected in my first run. About the new informations I've collected throughout the run, I'll share you guys later. It's 20:46 and i'm very tired (mostly streaming) and I need to wake up early tomorrow, so yeah i'll be back in next thread.
Its been ages since this leaderboard has been touched and I think it's time to bring this game more in line with the other games in the series. I'm talking to Anwonu about consolidating all the current categories into just any% and having the marriage candidate be listed and then adding glitchless. Having 6+ categories, some of which don't even have runs, was funny when this leaderboard was made but since a glitchless category would double that number its time to actually try and change this. I know there is an argument to be made that some girls are faster than others but I think having the bachelorette chosen being listed is a compromise worth having so I don't have to manage 14 categories for a game.
It's a good idea, since manage 14 categories for a game sounds really bad, consolidating all the categories exist into Any% and adding Any% Glitchless would be the best. I put a lot of effort on this new category, so I hope in the future there will be more runners into this game.
It's been good to see the recent activity for this game and to finally see this start coming to fruition. I've been working behind the scenes with Hikaru on the routing on the category for a good long while now.
I don't have an opinion on what to do for the leaderboard change, myself. I've yet to even run this game, and I still don't know if I'll get around to it.
The merge is done and I added glitchless, let me know if anything is wrong and I'll fix it in a month when I check this site again.
Everything looks fine now, but if you can remove the "bachelorettes selection" in the filter and make it seperate as an option in the Any% then it should be better. (Same with Any% Glitchless) (I've checked the SoS: FoMT leaderboard, and yeah I don't really know how to describe that)
All Bosses (5 main bosses, and the rest is came from Labyrinth) 100% (Get everything in the game we possibly can, but it's kinda... impossible?)
Believe me, I've been casually doing a 100% playthrough, and while it's not impossible, we're talking hours of grinding cooking/crafting/pharmacy/forging alone, besides having to max out to beat every labyrinth boss.
It also depends on if you're just doing 100% shipping, or doing 100% trophies which includes the former as it has it's own trophy. The rest of the trophies are their own problems, (some fish festivals are easy but I still need to figure out the bean one), especially the one that requires you to play to Year 5 (although having kids can help to skip quite a lot of that time).
...Honestly, it might be rather fun to route now that I think about it.
Oh, how do I manage to talk myself into these things? woweew
For now, 100% isn't possible for a speedrun, but let's see... I'll do a demo about No Chemistry Set run today, it might save some time.
As now I broke my own WR with that skip, what next, to get 2h49m? I've watched Anwonu's Any% run back in 2013-2015, and it seems in order to get faster times, we should raise Shara's affection and make progress in the main story at the same time. I need to do some math about how did the gear cost each phase, to make better investment in both time and money.. Anyway, that's it! The world record has lowered down to 2:53:06 30min ago.
It seems like 2:30 is possible, but i'm not sure when. New developments still WIP, but sure i'll try to get more timesaves in a day or two. I haven't submit my 2:41 yet, cause Rosael will not checking the page until next month.
