Thank you, thank you all! Although I must give my props to the player 'Twilight', he completes the game in 1:26 (and this is even 1.03 patch!) and I learned a lot from watching his run on YouTube.
Congrats on completing the game : ) My first playthrough also had about 65 hours on the clock and I loved every minute of it! Are you gonna go for NG+ or start a new game maybe?
EDIT: Anyone interested in a sparring session to improve parrying in PvP? I'm talking dueling with un-upgraded weapons to get the timing down for different weapon types. I'm on PS3, holla if you're with me!
