Lufia II Speedrun (No Major Glitches/No Manipulation) -

Played on November 26, 2023.
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals SNES version, played on North American SNES console (modded for component video output) with OEM controller (no turbo). Timing is from naming Maxim to breaking the final Doom Island Mystic Stone.
The ending credits to Lufia II run at an unusual framerate that doesn't work well with the upscaling tool I use on my clean recordings, so unfortunately the credits in this video are unintentionally sped up and desynced from the audio.
'No Major Glitches' means no use of the 'Level 0 Glitch' or 'Gratze Hammer Glitch', which can be used to skip major portions of the game. 'No Manipulation' means no scripting of battle outcomes, and boss drops (such as the Catfish Jewel) cannot be used or sold.
Overall solid early game (my 1st ever sub-hour Clowns and sub-1:30 Gades 2), some rough spots in the mid & late game (Lions & most of the Sinistrals especially), and a very silly endgame (got BOTH rare drops in the final towers, but luck on final bosses was pretty bad aside from that). May call it good here and move on, but making 1 last push to go for record (which currently stands at 3:51:15) is so tempting...
