Skies of Arcadia Legends would fit this perfectly. Dunno if my sanity could take it though...

Exactly why I put money on it. I might even up the ante a bit because a SS run that takes your entire day would be brutal.

I'd just like to make the point that such a thing isn't exactly unheard of.

With that said, carry on.

Caution: This user contains Kana ^_^

Necessarily completed in 12 h non-stop? Or can one take 'big breaks' with pausing and simulating overly long disc changes? xD

I like the idea. I just need a game and time. One of those two should not be a real problem, the other one very much so …

Well the point of the bounty is simply to reward someone for doing, quite literally, a marathon gaming section. So the hope would be no stupid long disc changes or pause breaks, but people are always going to try and trick the system.

Flip is in the process of seeing about a new thread owner to keep the thread updated. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he is more focused on verification and maybe SGDQ at the moment.

Could you specify what you mean by 100%. Do you mean buying all of the General Store and Black Market items, or do you mean just capture all of the bounties? Would I have to get $20,000 too?

That's motivation. Unfortunately, for a free-roaming adventure of that size I don't think that's enough time to plan a route and nail a good run.
I'd go for this except last time I played the game an egg on the minecart track section (Magma Falls) had an egg glitch out of existence, and the short timeframe.

Buying all of the General Store and Black Market items, getting all the ammo upgrades, capture all bounties and collect all money chests/hidden money. Oh and collect all items too.

Does it need to be accepted for the bounty to be paid?

Since the exact wording of the bounties is "submitted". Does that mean submitted by that date, then later accepted?

Is there a standard definition for 100%?

I have no name

2012-05-20 08:41:45 pm

Obscure games ftw

The game tracks %, so 100% would be game defined (40 Dark Gems, 80 Dragon Eggs, 100 Light Gems).
The only questionable part is do you need to sell out the shop?

Well, if there's a game defined 100%, then SDA usually doesn't accept things that don't apply for that.

I don't know if it is counted towards the games 100% since I buy everything out of habit when I play anyway.

Crash41596

2012-05-20 08:51:54 pm

100% does not include the shop. 100% is the 100% ending.

It's Ironic that I have actually been running this game. A run will be up by mid june. A good run.

I know it's the 100% ending for 100%, I did not know if the shop counted towards 100% though.

~~I hate you~~ Think of the children and by children I mean me
Looks like I won't be able to go for this one then, no route and parents allowing 30 minutes a day only...I have negative chance of this as it stands right now.

So, just to be absolutely certain, I don't have to get all of the money bags from the enemies and Clukkers, right? Because that would take forever.

Also, would this include crystal shards like the gold ones in Mongo River Valley, just making sure. :/

As the question I asked clarified, it must be submitted by the end of the year and then later accepted for the bounty to be paid.
