Olympic FFI Speed Runs!

[Goldenboko]

Being the first Final Fantasy, it is only natural that it is the shortest game of the series! But did you know that the game has been beaten in times as fast as 5 hours? Indeed with proper strategy, skill, and memory this game can easily be beaten in one (fairly long) sitting! Olympians, bring honor and glory to your respective FF by beating FFI the fastest of all EoFFers! In order to have your time qualify you must post a picture of you right after you are done choosing your team, and a picture of your final time right before Chaos. This will make you eligible for the first Gold medal of this event. BUT! There are two, that medal is for the fastest time and can be won even after someone else has finished, if you finished faster. Being the first to post a picture of your team defeating Chaos awards a DIFFERENT gold medal, for first to beat Chaos! For this event you'll have a whopping 15 days to finish the game! After that times are finalized and a winner is announced!




Fastest Times:








First to Kill Chaos Medal Winner:






​Let the best man (or woman) win!

...ROM? Part of the game though, best team should be the best at all the FF's Hopefully some team members will make up for you

We have about two other people on our time, Boob's :laughing: I've only ever started this game, never finished it.

Edit: Oh! 15 Days to do this. Hmmm....

Edit 2 because double posting is bad: A few questions: Can only one person from each team compete in an event or can we all individually aim for medals? Also, do you want us to post the first image of us starting the game right away or at the end?

Pfft yeah, with a Game Genie. I spend more time than that grinding before going into the Marsh Cave.

So in the middle of Eyes on Plays FFX, you want me to speed run FFI? Maybe I'll emulate this while watching football on Sunday.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to Raisty boy!

Please, I know your entire purpose in creating this competition was to make my life as busy as possible. I'M ONTO YOUR GAME

Actually, this one I might have to pass on, unfortunately, even though I've been meaning to play FFI again. Someone should join me on the FFT team and do this challenge.

I can't really do this because I haven't completed the game yet. Sorry guys !

I got lost and can't really remember where to go or what to do and never really felt interested to keep on going.....

I'm only saying this because there are a lot of people on the FFIX team: I might be willing to take a bribe /smug
