Can I finish this game in 12 hours?

You're going to have to come up with some convincing evidence to persuade us to believe a Speed Demo Archives run is hacked.

Simple, because he can't do it. And if he can't do it, its obviously not possiple. :P

Perhaps you can do it. I don't know, but I think that doing so is criminal. You'd be skipping so much awesome stuff. It's just wrong.

I understand if it was a first run, but what if it was a replay? I've replayed Final Fantasy IV so many times I challenge myself to complete it in under eight hours, and I do (not talknig about dashing either). I challenge someone to complete this game in uder twelve hours without cheating.

There, now a hero will take up this challenge and we'll have an answer

I think there was a youtube video where the player completed it incredibly quickly (5 or so hours?) using A LOT of save states so that Magus cast certain element attacks in the fight etc., but I'm fairly sure that kind of a speed run would be very tedious. I'm guessing it would be possible. Good luck to you, in any case.

Some guy almost completed FF7 in a day (he died though, he probably would've made it), so I think it's possible.

Well, I can say that I'm over leveled and at the beginning of the 6 or 7 side quest things. I could prolly try and go to Lavos now.

Also, my time clocks at 13:54, which doesn't include the 3 times I got lost for ATLEAST thirty minutes each. (hence the over leveling)

I've also never played the game completely through, so seeing as someone with slight inexperience in the game and gameplay could be that close to 12 or 13 hours.. Well basically once I beat it and replay, I could easily do it 12 or under.

I was pretty fast two days ago, because I reached The End of Time when the clock hit 03:00 hours, and this includes getting all the treasure on the way.
Yesterday I repaired the Masamune for Frog and gave it to him in five IRL-hours.
This evening I want to restart the game and do some really serious perfect-game-speed-running, but I won't be able to finish it before I'll have to go to bed, because I work tomorrow.

I can't even enjoy the game as much as I have time for tonight, because it feels anticlimactic to quit the game when I know I can finish it in one go.
