If you figured it out between making the title and the actual post then why continue with the topic?

That's why there are different categories for speedruns. Final Fantasy 1 can also be beaten very fast, IIRC it's like 12 minutes... you have to go up and down some stairs like 255+ times

Nah, that is why. Different people find different styles of speedruns fun, both on the playing end and on the watching end. It's only natural that different categories would arise to fill demands that arise from those preferences.

No, different people think different speed runs are valid, like the whole "using glitches" thing.

People don't understand this for some reason

I like to watch 100% glitchless speedruns while some people prefer any% speedruns

I also prefer shorter speedruns of old NES games except for when I want to watch a longer rpg, and then I don't mind a super long one

This shit isn't hard to understand

2 months ago, gamers/streamers were raising money for hospitals. 24 hr gaming is too much gaming for me lol.

I haven't played FF4 despite me owning it on Final Fantasy Chronicles ps1 collection. I did beat Chrono trigger. But I have not beaten ANY FF game except for 3 spin off games about a brown haired kid who kills demons with a giant key.

I do own: FF4, FF7, FF8, FF9, FFX, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (gave it away), FF7 Crisis Core (Lost the UMD), FF Dissidia on the PSVITA.

Sure it is. Whether or not it's entertaining to watch depends on a number of factors (most notably the amount of skill involved in executing said glitches), but it's still perfectly valid as a goal toward which speedrunners can race. Those goals are in fact completely arbitrary. There are nipple% speedruns of Mario Odyssey, where players race to get to see Mario's nipples as quickly as possible.

FFIV is FF4. The MMO has the Roman numeral FFXIV which is FF14.
The TC could have meant FF14 and forgot the X or he meant the 4th numbered Final Fantasy that was on the SNES and ported to the Playstation one in a Final Fantasy collections case along which Chrono Trigger.

FF4 is only a 2016 game and thus only playable from 1991 to 2016. You could have played FF4 as far as 3/10/2017, but all the copies of FF4 expired past that date.
