There are benefits to the outfits: 5% more damage output, 5% less damage received, 20% more recovery from potions or no decrease of stamina during defense.

I don't intent to put anyone off by the changes. Those changes at the moment are just me trying stuff. These categories and subcategories will not be final. I also wan't to make a solution together with the current and interested runners.

I sent a friend request in discord to you so we can discuss more about the topic.

@MASH i would welcome the collaboration with you, the Nier community and the community of the other DoD games.

Regarding the DLC conversation i can fully agree with you and i would like to make new subcategories to give the runners more flexibility.

I never thought there was a serious interest in this game from other runners because i never received messages regarding this game and embarrassingly never noticed this thread.

I was more or less thrown into the position as a mod back then but i would like to improve this board and make it more easy for newcomers to get into running this game.

For future discussions i will contact you in Discord soon.

I am really sorry i never noticed this thread. Back when i was speedrunning this game i just tried to adjust to Silvius78's speedrun. I was occasionally looking for notifications but not even once i noticed there is a thread in this forum. I will try to make some rules based on previous speedruns for future speedrunners to come. I know it is late but better now then never. Im open for any suggestions and questions.

Edit: I made some basic rules including the allowance of DLC outfits and weapons because there wouldn't be a single speedrun without DLC outfits yet. Those rules aren't set in stone and i am willing to create new subcategories if someone wants to run the game in a different way (for example another ending).
