Ys II Complete Speedrun (Single Segment with saves) -

EDIT: Updated run can be found here:

   • Ys II Complete Speedrun - 1:05:02 (Single ...  

EDIT 2: This video was initially timed via SDA's standards, but was later timed by traditional RTA standards (starting after selecting "New Game", ending at final boss hit). Going by SDA timing (first movement input to final boss hit), the time comes out to 1:09:53.

Since progress on my segmented run of Ys II Complete is stalled yet again (I'm restarting it, and am stuck on the first segment, even though it ends a few minutes sooner due to a small time-saving glitch I want to use), I'm uploading this "single segment" run I did a few months back, using saves as a precaution for some points. This is far from a perfect run, but it's decent for what it is, especially considering I don't have much practice with the later parts of the game. I expect that a segmented run could cut maybe up to 5 minutes off of this time, but that's just a guess - hopefully it turns out to be even more, but I doubt I can get this version below an hour (Eternal, maybe, with the Druegar and Zava bugs). Also, being a SS run, I got some items/armor that the segmented run will likely skip, so that's a little more potential time saved.

Maybe someday me or someone else will finish a properly optimized run of this game. Until then, enjoy!
