Verifier Responses
There were a couple of other verifiers, but they never responded.
Decision: Accept
Reason: Everyone was impressed by the battles, and the other mistakes seemed incredibly minor in comparison. Also, no one even thought a time below 8 hours was possible for a new game.

Verification complete. Run contains no cheating, and quality is excellent.

8 long and bloody hours later...
Video wise, everything seems fine. There are a few graphical issues and artifacts (segment 13's green screen) that are part of the game only, but no video data appears to compromised anywhere in the run.
At the ends of 2 segments (32 and 42), there were some small audio artifacts, that appear to come from earlier in each of the respective segments. It only came up at the very end right as 'save completed' was displayed, and lasted only a fraction of a second; probably just a slight bug in the encode. Nothing else appeared to be affected.
All times, stats, items, characters, etc line up between segments, and there are no signs of foul-play.
Gameplay-wise, well, I've tried running this game solo on many occasions, my best so far is 8:50ish on the last hit. This run is a full hour faster, and the only time gained is from battles (I believe that, plus or minus a few chests, this route is completely optimized). Overall, there's still slight room for improvement (maybe a few minutes worth in some luck manipulation, and a few movement errors), but for a run of this length, it is negligible, and the game is already very much optimized beyond what most people have the patience for; as such I doubt this record will be beaten anytime soon, if ever.
Overall, I say its a solid run, and at the very least a '_yes_' though the length may be a bit off-setting for some viewers, most especially since this run is well over 1/2 cut scenes. I'd recommend for the runners to include in their comments some indications as to which segments are worth seeing and which are best avoided.
If you need anymore detail or feedback on anything, you know where to reach me.

Verifier: finished watching the tales of symph run
me: thoughts?
Verifier: worth putting up on sda, in short
Verifier: lots of very minor mistakes (things like getting hung up going around a corner or something)
Verifier: only a few 'major' mistakes
Verifier: but ultimately not very costly
Verifier: and the battles are very good, they make it worth it almost by themselves
Verifier: only video problem i saw was a flash of green in seg 13 at :52
me: ok great
me everyone is saying the battles are the best part
Verifier: yep
Verifier: definitely worth watching

me: gameplay is good?
me: any complaints or criticism, anything that stuck out?
Verifier: oh very much so.
Verifier: no complaints at all really. I thought some of the overworld walking was not the greatest, but when you have 3 other people with you I can understand
Verifier: the battles themselves were topnotch, and thats it basically
