So... yeah; it's sort've amazing how, the first time through, I skimmed bits of time off of Nightmare Mode's clock in an attempt to gain some kills for one of the PP Trials, and by Chapter Five, it says I only have "two days" left. I try doing it again without much deviation (Still saving stranded survivors), and manage to almost gain an entire DAY.

Roughly 40% of the reason for success this time around, ended up being a result of planning ahead before some of the quests were even available, with another 40% being the insane power of "Jazz Hands".

... I guess the remaining 20% comes from being able to do certain missions simultaneously, particularly near the end of some of the chapters.

Aaaaand since it's obvious, another 100% of the reason for success goes to me having maxxed out my stats in the original Story Mode before trying to tackle Nightmare Mode... I can't imagine someone doing Nightmare Mode by themselves with the default stats... especially with a lack of some of the best stuff in the game: Indestructible Vehicles, eight spaces for items, easy weapon-fusions, massive ranged damage, etc. Heh...
