So, since completing story, and finding out about the tower climb puzzle on the side of Shiokaze Hostelry, I've taken time to practice and see how fast I can climb to the top. Obviously, the first run I did took hours, just like everyone else, which also didn't help the fact that when I first did it, the duty finder was broken to hell, so everyone was jumping the tower at once.
Before the posted time in the picture, the fastest I got to the roof (not where the vista is) was on run 36 at 1 minute 12.45 seconds. My new fastest time is now 1:08.48, on run 111. I'm not sure if I can get faster, but I know places that I can possibly shave time off.
Anyone else want to share their fastest times, and how many runs it took to get there? I'm eager to hear, and if you have any tips to share fellow people who need the help to get the vista point, feel free to do that, too.
Edit: For anyone wondering, I'm on PC, and using keyboard and mouse. I run it as a Ninja, but I have similar results as any class, and have run it as my scholar as well as dark knight. I also do not use, at any point, Sprint, as it doesn't save much time, and tends to mess up certain jump spacing at the higher points of the tower.
