Attempt After Clearing the Game Once

| ▼Set the Difficulty to EASY |
| ▼Skip All Cutscenes |
| ▼Ignore Quests and Weapon Upgrades |
| ▼Never Go Idle |
Set the Difficulty to EASY
Set the difficulty to EASY when starting the game. Enemies will be weaker, making them easier to defeat even with un-upgraded weapons. There's also an auto-battle feature, which is recommended as it saves you the trouble of controlling the character.
Skip All Cutscenes
Time passes during cutscenes and conversation scenes as well. You can skip cutscenes with the OPTIONS button, so although it's a shame, skip them all to save time. It's also a good idea to mash the confirm button to speed through dialogue.
Ignore Quests and Weapon Upgrades
Since you need to clear the game in under 15 hours, avoid any unnecessary detours. It's possible to defeat the final boss without doing quests or upgrading weapons, so you can ignore them all. Only proceed with the events that are mandatory for clearing the game.
Never Go Idle
The clear time is determined by the time the game is running. Therefore, if you leave the game idle to do other things, your clear time will keep increasing. Even for short breaks like meals or baths, be sure to save and return to the title screen to stop the timer.
