    I hope you're not intending to play FFVIII all alone for 25 hours straight? or are you the main man and the rest are on call for when you need breaks?

    The latter. I will complete most of the game, but will take breaks to eat and regain my sanity every now and then. When (if ) it gets too tough I'll pick up the ukulele, drink coffee and get some fresh air.

    The time is now! Tantalus 4 is now live-streaming from Sweden, and the marathon will start in about 4 minutes

    This ain't gonna be easy, some of these games require 30-40 hours to beat the final boss and you're marking them down for 25, most notably, VII, VIII and X.

    I watched large chunks of FFV yesterday, and that was definitely fun. Looks like you guys were having some trouble in escaping Karnak castle when it's about to blow up. No idea how you guys got there on Level 4 xD GG for getting past the boss anyway!

    if they were playing FFVIII 6 hours ago, that means they're at least 6 hours ahead of schedule. Good job.

    This is hilarious. So weirdly voyeuristic just watching you guys play. xD

    By the way, you guys have a shoutout from an (unofficial) Square Enix twitter account:

    http://twitter.com/Square_Enix

    It's got like over 2 thousand followers, so hopefully more exposure for your endeavor.

    You guys are doing good, ahead of schedule for both V and VIII. On to FFII, which in my opnion would be one of the hardest to get through since it's such a grind.

    I also see that your viewership has increased, which is awesome.

    UPDATE

    Final fantasy V beaten in 12 hours and 32 min
    Final fantasy VIII beaten in 18 hours and 25 min
    Currently playing FF II

    To clarify:

    We've had some users accusing us of cheating and so on.

    We're following the rules on Speed Demos Archive - Rules
    !!We are not recording the run!! It's in other words not a legit run.

    The games we're playing:
    FF I-XIII, except XI and X-2.

    The time: 240 hours

    Hello there! It's a challange, but of the fun kind. I just beat FF VIII in 18 hours and 25 minutes.

    I watched large chunks of FFV yesterday, and that was definitely fun. Looks like you guys were having some trouble in escaping Karnak castle when it's about to blow up. No idea how you guys got there on Level 4 xD GG for getting past the boss anyway!

    Emanuel really know his FF We're currently 9 hours ahead of the schelude.

    This is hilarious. So weirdly voyeuristic just watching you guys play. xD
    Thanks? xD
