I'll do an overhaul of the categories and such to accommodate the requests, restrictions, DLC, and different versions of the game.
This will mean that runs will have to be more closely scrutinized in verification aspects. Obviously, things have to be watched more closely to ensure that correct runs are submitted to their correct categories and what have you. That being said, I won't be able to accept runs that are potential top three times without video moving forward.
I'm very happy to have interest in the game and I don't want to stifle anyone's desire to run it! However, it is hard to verify what is done in a single segment and what is done in a bunch of smaller segments and the two should not be compared to one another.
Due to the game's length I'd be happy to add a single segment as well as a segmented category for each of the runs also!
I'm working closely with the people translating the switch version into English. I hope to structure that out and publish it along with instructions for anyone who's interested to download and install that patch onto their switch. I will keep you posted on that and I hope that that will bring a lot more interest to the game and community.
I really, really appreciate you coming back and taking the time to reply, but not too sure if some of these changes are good. A lot of people don't have the capacity/ability to record the whole run and then upload it than people like yourselves sadly. So either we just keep it the same or this category will be a deterrent for those wanting to speed running it simply because I highly doubt a lot of people can actually record this.
We all agree in the community in fact running the game is a distant dream for many in the community now :(
