Finally finished watching. 3 times in the run, the player abruptly stops moving. Once in the contest area, another in desert, then on Liz island. Was it for luck manipulation? You mentioned that you walked instead of running through grass to advance the timer slower. Does that save time compared to just getting an encounter normally? I noticed it happened in Liz Island, and only in specific parts of the island. Why is that so? Sometimes, I notice you don't use the first Denjuu to attack, and instead seemingly do nothing, before attacking later. For instance, the Octorifle fight. Can you please explain what the strategy was? How did you plan for which Denjuu to recruit? I was initially confused on why you seemingly recruited the same Denjuu 3 times in the mountain, until much later they were used in the area next to it. That was actually quite clever. Despite the areas being very long in comparison to the sequel, the run was actually quite nice due to the music.
Attacking fewer enemies and possibly using more potions
attacking specific enemies that cause lag with bullets
the potion use right before the final boss seemed unnecessary--since you have to use one later during the boss anyway you could probably have just swapped characters first instead and saved one trip into the menu
Using a full health potion or two in the Knight fight to keep yourself near or inside his hitbox could possibly make that one faster
MaxHP Ups...do those affect anything else, like your damage? If it's just HP/MP, maybe a couple could be skipped to save time.
Wasn't the Sleep on Hidden Vein (2h27 in the encode) a little bit overkill ? Other than that, it looks really well planned and done.
Using the long-animation sleep move to hit only 1 or 2 enemies, having allied units wait when it seems like they could've done something useful, etc
