Ah, just watched yours Frenom. I think it's definitely better than Sleepz' so far. I laughed out loud when you used crash on the miniboss that came out of Birth Valley. It was perfect! I too noticed a couple of minor path problems (where you make two turns instead of one, which I believe you did twice in Zio's Fort), but overall it's pretty perfect. You also didn't make the mistake of going on the healing pad at the Land Rover facility which Sleepz did. One more possible minor optimization: You created a whole Hewn macro just to use it once near the very end of the cave (forget the cave name, the one with the blobbies that do fusion). Perhaps it would be better to just avoid the last fight where you use it and that way you'd never have to create it. Don't bother going back to redo things though, since I think you're pretty on target for optimum time at the moment.
By the way, you can push up from macro A to use the last macro (H, I think?) in one menu move. That could save a little time with making or using macros. I watched this last night so I forget whether you did that or not, but I don't think you did.
I think you might've fought too many groups of 4x Sand Newts in your little run there (I'm pretty sure Sleepz stopped fighting them once he ran out of uses of Gra), and you might even want to stop right after picking up Crosscut, since you lose all three of your non-Chaz party members not too long from now.. unless there's a reason for all those extra fights that I'm not seeing right now.
It might be time consuming, but you could probably manipulate Hahn dead during the first Igglanova fight (by the Xanafalgues that it spawns). One or two criticals and Hahn is gone. That would mean (slightly) more experience for Chaz during the newts. It might be worth a small cost in frames.
