God Eater 2 (v1.30) Any% Speedrun

Описание: Happy 15th Anniversary, God Eater!

I couldn't find any runs for the original GE2, so I thought I'd be the first.
I contemplated doing this run on actual hardware (v1.40 on PSVita), but I would struggle a lot with the Japanese text and I was presented with some surprisingly long load times that would add up to about 15-30 minutes over the course of the run, so I decided to just emulate it on PPSSPP. Nothing in this run was optimized, and I'm not sure if I'll ever do this again, but I'm overall satisfied with the result.

I decided against doing a complete playthrough of this version of GE2 with cutscenes, as the quality of the translation leaves something to be desired. I'm looking forward to putting together a God Eater 2 Rage Burst playthrough on the PSVita similar to what I did for God Eater Burst, but it felt wrong to not at least show the game as it was before Rage Burst. GE2RB lacks upgrading with Compound Cores, which has a significant impact on the flow of progression through the game; I didn't have to upgrade any of my equipment with anything other than Compound Cores, for example.
