Why 100% Speedrunning Baten Kaitos SCARES Me

I love Baten Kaitos, but even I can admit even I am intimidated by its main gimmick. Let's take a look at why.

There is not much I could do about the video size if it looks weird. Evidently properly resizing the video when exporting is locked behind a paywall, which I guess is fair...?

If I recall, time spent in menus doesn't count for aging the magnus, so 5 minutes over the time it takes to age that one card is incredible.

[@mushroomwings3236]

you're absolutely right about that, and that's part of what frightens me about that time

[@antobono64]

It sounds like 100% speedrun is kinda pointless since you have to wait a specific amount of time anyway

[@mushroomwings3236]

@@antobono64 that's actually how I've always felt about it in regards to this game, but the fact the current record is as low as it is even considering that frankly scares me more than the idea of speed running it in general.

[@queenzelda]

with the hd remake on switch a speedrun might be better since it has fast mode. 🤪🤭💜 Good luck!
