Shall we start a new high score/info thread? (Spoilers inside)

I find it perplexing that you can finish the game in 7 days with 86 quests completed. Do you clear up each island in one fell swoop and hardly, if ever, return there at all?

I haven't finished the game, but I am going for a fast run as well. I believe it is actually a requirement to take out all enemies in an island if you can if you don't need to go back there anymore for a related quest. That's what makes a fast run, no-loss game all the more impressive, since you can't skip enemies for later when you are more powerful.

And it is possible, but with great difficulty. Bolo is one such early game island.

Thanks for the answer. I was thinking particularly of quests that require you to travel between islands to complete them.

I will probably never attempt anything like that. I prefer a leisurely playthrough, even slothful at times. Don't mind flicking through newspapers while I'm waiting for that mana to recharge. Ah well, to each his own.
