Quote from Melodia:
Ok so...
Two things are evident from watching this tun:
-The runner knows exactly what needs to be done to complete the route
-The runner hasn't practiced it much
Now I'm not going to berudge the later. There ARE a lot of small mistakes, but for the most part even though they add up it's not a big deal. However...
The resetting. Yes there's a HUGE amount of RNG involved but the amount of resets in the first quarter of the run is pretty insane. I admittedly don't know the odds here but with better luck 15 minutes could have been saved. Perhaps it's not too feasible?
I'm very baffled at why the reduction in weapon exp at the beginning of chapter 7 with no addition to another meter.
Saving between chapters? Seems like a time waster. The run would be over if there was a big enough mistake to need it. In fact it almost could point to splicing -- not making an accusation, just an observation.
The lack of notes. I realize it's optional but there's a LOT going on here. I happen to know the game well enough to be able to figure out what the ultimate reason for everything was (outside of the things above) but a little bit of explanation could go a long way I think.
Overall I'm neutral because of the resets, and the saving between chapters. The beginning really just goes on for too long and though the saving doesn't take up much time it, again, seems absolutely unneeded. But I'm willing to concede that I'm simply missing something.

A: there is no cheating
The run itself was free from all "cheating" in the context of SDA from what I saw but I would like to probably ask why he does stuff and it seems weird that he doesn't have notes for the run at all.
B: the run meets play quality standards
My only real gripe is I feel a lot of the menuing could have been done much faster especially early on when you don't have to worry about spell ranges, but overall the play quality is ok. I just think it could be done faster without much practice and probably be sub 2 hours with some better luck early on and better menuing as already stated.
C: the run meets audio/visual quality standards
I saw no issues with the video or audio throughout the entire run

Quote from eLmaGus-:
Alright I guess i will add my 2 cents to this.
First of all the technicalities.
A/V:
Audio and Video are very good, no complaints here.
Cheating:
No cheating detected.
Gameplay:
Now here, as in every Disgaea game, I am sure that the route for this can change a ton but as it is, it does seem like a quality speed route. The unfortunate thing is that it requires you to reset a ton for money and good equipment (over 8 minutes of resets in this run particulary). Now I understand that this is the fastest way to get this game done for now, however I feel like if you do more runs of this, you can get a run without that many resets which I would prefer to be honest.
Other than that like every Disgaea game its pretty much go and defeat everything in your way after you have abused the System, which is executed very decently and certainly qualifies as a quality speedrun.
The nature of this game makes this seem tedious and drawn out, but that is how the game and a speedrun of this game is.
Overall, since this game does not have any other Speedruns yet anywhere, we could accept it, this is by all means a decent speedrun.
However I would really hope for 2 things to happen if that is the case.
1) Runner, please write a short summary of your thoughts and info on what happens throughout the run. That would help watching this run a LOT.
2) Runner, please try for a run without this many loads
Final Judgement: ACCEPT if Runner agrees to improving this sometime soon AND provides notes on thoughts and what happens.
