As much as I love this game, I can't say that I've ever considered taking on the Challenge. The reward isn't worth it, in my opinion.
But I was wondering if anybody else was crazy enough to take up the challenge. Did you succeed?

No I haven't and I can barley finish disk 2 in 12 hours
I managed it... But I used a gameshark. It's impossible to level your characters up enough to get past disc 2 in that short space of time!
I meant to try. I'll get around to it someday. I think the secret is minimizing random encounters and maximizing save files.
I could only do it on a PS1. I did it last summer, trying several times. I had to skip the movies and never level up or save. Well, I saved 3 times in that game. Very hard. And not even worth the reward.
I may be stupid asking this, but what is the reward?
The reward is Steiners most powerfull weapon: Excalibur II.Quote:

Excalibur II has 108 in atack power and is holy elemental.

I think the reward is worth it, but I'll never try it. It takes all the fun out of the game. Getting the Excailbur II is one step closer to mastering the game (Collecting all the weapons and mastering all the abilities.)
The problem is, getting Excalibur II makes a 100% game save impossible, as there are a number of items that you would have to sacrifice in order to achieve the task, which in turn, teach you important abilities.
I didn't even know this game kept track of how much you completed in terms of percentage. Are you sure it does? And why would you need to sacrafice items to get it?
It doesn't track your percentage progress, but a 100% completion is easy to define. You have to complete every sidequest, own every item, and then complete the main quest itself.
However, it's practically impossible to get every item, complete every sidequest etc. and get Excalibur II, since some weapons and Key Items cannot be found on later discs, preventing you from owning every piece of equipment in the game, which would be required for 100% game completion. Take the 'Queen Athlete' item, for example. This would take at least 15 minutes of game time to obtain, and cannot be found beyond disc 3. The Mayor's Key requires you to return to Dali during Disc 3's card tournament, setting you at least 10 minutes further off course. Some items (such as the Obelisk) can only be bought in Dagguero, which is a non-story location, and sets you ten minutes off your main objective. This may not seem like much, but the 12 hour deadline is tough enough as it is. These distractions only make it worse.
