Will this be included on the same leaderboard? I tried looking up differences and it mentions it has an “easy mode” but not sure what this entails. I would like to run this game at some point and was just curious about using this version, even if use of easy mode was banned.
When it comes out in the US I plan on running it, but it will have to have a separate board because of the 4x Meseta/XP buff the game gives... not sure of too many other details, but I do know someone did a longplay of the JP release and beat it under 5 hours with Alis at Level 24... so it should only take a couple of hours in a speedrun setting.
What are the differences between the original version and the sega ages, I heard lower encounter rate as one?
Lower encounter rate, but using FF kinda evens it out. Encounters can sometimes take abnormally long to get though. X4 meseta and exp rate, FM Sound (which sounds amazing), graphical filters, monster guide (nice for 100% category), Able to use a Turbo controller to avoid mashing.
