How is this even possible?

[Gaia Branford]

why anyone want to beat the game in less than twelve hours, let alone four hours? i wouldnt find it fun anymore if you had to finish the game in a time limit, one of the reasons why i didnt like majora's mask (yes i am ashamed>.>)

Beating the game in less than 12 hours is a challenge, and some people like challenge. Incidentally, somebody attempting a speedrun will probably spend a lot longer at it than their target time would suggest: you don't play for, say, 12 hours straight and hope you get to the end. You practice and repeat a section until you can do them in an acceptable amount of time, and then move on to the next.

As for Majora's Mask, the time limit in that game is nowhere near being the crutch some people make it out to be, but that's a discussion for a separate topic.

There is an 8:32 speedrun of FFIX at Speed Demos Archive.

This is the fastest verifiable time I know of, though if you skip FMV sequences (which is illegal under SDA rules), you could probably knock about an hour off that time.

How are you suppose to do this exactly?

Beating the game in 4 hours is impossible even if you just runned from a place to another it´s impossible!

Usually in 4 hours i´m probably still leaving Evil Forest
