  &quot;Filled with side-quests that entertain the player for a long time.&quot;<br><br>Entertain is a strong word. The chocobo racing made me want to arm wrestle a school bus with my face.

  That malboro ambush is such an SMT moment for a final fantasy game of all things

  A boon and a curse in ff10 speedruns are unskippable cutscenes. While they add HOURS to the final time, they give time for some much needed bathroom breaks or donation announcements in bigger events.

  I love that for the final boss, they&apos;re using the longest, flashiest overdrive to kill it in one hit, Blitz ace. it only has 99999 HP, so one regular max whack is all it needs, but nope, it needs to be STYLED on.

  The superbosses in FFX specifically are absurd timesinks for speedruns, so mad respect for anyone with the patience to speedrun for them

  I never expected it to get this much love when I started the project back then, it was great to see Cereth and Maff pick up the torch! &nbsp;Cereth and I met at an RPG Limit Break event too. &nbsp;Thanks for the shoutout, and the massive nostalgia trip! &nbsp;In a crazy coincidence, I&apos;m playing through FFX on stream just this week again, although this time it&apos;s not for speed. &nbsp;RBM alerted me to this video, thanks for putting this together!<br><br>Something I would like to add regarding the character selection: Shinryu is a huge bottleneck since four characters are unable to participate. &nbsp;So among Tidus, Rikku, and Wakka, two had to be in the final party. &nbsp;That was a bigger consideration than Rikku&apos;s Mixes. &nbsp;And since Wakka&apos;s World Champion is awful to get, it had to be Tidus and Rikku.

  The 20 hour Malboro ambush is a rite of passage for any Nemesis runner. Everyone has it happen to them, and everyone has it happen when they neglect to save before Sin.
