Not my style, but a skillful execution. Problem is, it ignores:

Use the (U) version of a ROM unless there is a good reason not to (as an example a shortcut/trick which only works in a different version, or superior music), or the version does not exist.
And a faster run is in development using the correct ROM. Voted meh.
Worked fine converted to FM2 and played in FCEUX 2.1.0a, I enjoyed it and I see no compelling reason NOT to publish...

1. boring if you haven't played the game, and few people have.
2. there is luck manipulation but no where near the ammount present in many of the published rpg's. Compare the 2500 re-record count to say that of ff1 (25k), dw2 (21k), dw4 (110k). The ridiculous luck manipulation is the life blood of an entertaining rpg TAS. This isn't exactly an RPG but fits mostly into the category.
3. While controversial, we have a "wild warps" run to satisfy the craving of the few who love & want to see a run of this game
4. Even most of the yes voters mentioned it being boring but either wanted it to replace the current run or should be published anyway.
1. All runs longer than a certain duration tend to get boring unless you've played the game. So what? That doesn't make them any less worthwhile for those who can appreciate them -- and those are the people who are going to seek the video out.
2. Totally different animal; no comparison possible. Besides, re-record count shouldn't factor into a publication decision.
3. Judge the work on its own merit.
4. Just a restatement of #1; same argument applies.
Also, tmont is good with the English language and I'd encourage him to take advantage of FCEUX's subtitling feature and add commentary. It really adds to a run, can be turned off if someone doesn't like it, and negates any possible "boredom" and "idk wtf is going on" arguments.
This is an ideal use of FCEUX's new subtitle feature. The commentary adds a lot of interest to what could otherwise be seen as a "walk right" video.
That said, I'd be happy to see even an unsubtitled run, just because this game frustrated me to no end.
I seldom post but I wanted to say that using subtitles like this is EXCELLENT and really does raise the bar: in my mind no new video can really be called first-class if it fails to provide a subtitled commentary.
