FF-marathon this July!

Games completed:

FF V: 12 h and 32 min
FF VIII: 18 h and 25 min
FF II: 10 h and 47 min

Next up is FF XIII, which is currently being played

Thanks for all the comments!

Damn, you guys are serious about this!

Watched some of the live streaming, and I couldn't help but smile at the Swedish mumbling in the background. Gotta love it :)


Held og lykke!

Serious about this, hell yeah. Serious in general, nawh.

Man tackar ;)

I am addicted to watching them play. :D

Of course, I should probably spend this time beating VIII and IX so I can finally play XIII. But, OH WELL, watching is fun!

You're going to destroy the time, good stuff guys!

We thought so as well! Then ff 9 and 13 hit us. We're still ahead of schelude, but we're saving the champagne 'til later.

Here's our status:


FF V: 12 h and 32 min
FF VIII: 18 h and 25 min
FF II: 10 h and 47 min
FF XIII: 13 h and 14 min
FF IX: 27 h and 17 min
FF XII: 23 h and 6 min
FF IV: 19 h and 6 min

Total 4 h and 33 min ahead of schelude

See ya in the chat!

I think you guys are the definition of hardcore. :p Keep it up!

Huh. Now I wanna do an FF-marathon for myself.

No way I need to know if they made it :o

Looks like they didn't make it. :( FFIII got them in the end (it's a toughie, being the only game you cannot play on PS2/PS3). I hope they try again!

Hello people!

The tantalus team is sorry to announce that it's true - the marathon failed.
We'd like to thank everyone for watching and supporting us through it all, it was a blast! We love you all for the company and positive comments :) It was a strange event, yet amazing. For a brief time, FF literally consumed our lives, and we loved it. Even better, people enjoyed watching us play!

With this behind us, we in the tantalus team will consider arranging another FF-marathon in June 2011.

Here are the final times:

Final fantasy I: 8 h 16 min
Final fantasy II: 10 h 47 min
Final fantasy III: 25 h + (never completed)
Final fantasy IV: 19 h 6 min
Final fantasy V: 12 h 32 min
Final fantasy VI: 19 h
Final fantasy VII:20 h 27 min
Final fantasy VIII: 18 h 25 min
Final fantasy IX: 27 h 17 min
Final fantasy X: 20 h 31 min
Final fantasy XII: 23 h 6 min
Final fantasy XIII: 35 h 14 min

We did not get a "final" time, since we eventually had to break. Final fantasy III was the last game we played, and the major reason we failed. Unforeseen problems in the late game made it impossible to proceed and finish it within the time limit.

Thanks again for watching and supporting. Stay tuned for more updates on facebook and our website.

Much love /The tantalus 4 team
