I won't be able to take part in that case (commentating FF9). No worries though, can't satisfy everyone

MLSTRM and MrZwanzig have agreed to help commentate Final Fantasy V

I don't think anybody else going knows a whole lot about the game, but if you're interesting in helping commentate then please contact me :)

Not sure how often the schedule is being updated but I still need at least 10 minutes extra on my original estimate for Final Fantasy V, the 4:20 assumed I was playing in Japanese, English text adds a lot.

I edited my donation incentives, so if these are being written down or something then please update mine :)

Final Fantasy V incentives:

Name for Butz (5 character limit)

Continuous bid-war for which character to run around as (Bartz / Lenna / Faris / [Galuf/Krile]) (Krile replaces Galuf about 2/3rds into the game). Can change lead character at any point. This incentive will add around 5 minutes or so however because some of my menus will be slower, changing the characters around alters all of the menus, and confuses me in battles.

As discussed on skype I'm gonna need an extra 10 minutes or so if you want me to play in English on FF5

Was a lot of fun last year, I'll join again :)

Though I'll probably need a refresher on how to play, and help building the deck

I'm bringing my US Snes (that can play J games). My run's fairly early on in the marathon, after that anyone can use it to practice on or whatever (although soft reset doesn't work on it)

Is it possible for those that have to stay in mass housing because of the fully booked hotel to use the spare mattresses from last year? Don't particularly want to buy one for 2 days, nor do I want to sleep on the floor

Submitted a couple :) Please let me know if you actually want me to bring the games

Definitely interested, Chucats tournament last year was a lot of fun

Are there any promotional twitch banners available? Also which Twitch channel will the 2nd stream be on?

I've improved all of my PBs for my submitted games:

2:31:57 in FFCC All dungeons (5 minutes from the record on my 2nd run of this category). Made some pretty dumb mistakes so I'll probably improve this again before ESA

10:28:54 in FFX, finally earned sub 10:30:00

4:02:53 in FF5, still aiming for sub 4.

You can go ahead and remove FF Type-0 HD from the games list, I'm really not putting in the effort to make it work for the marathon and I'm lacking motivation for it. The game stills needs a lot of work and definitely won't be ready.

As for my other games, I recently got a new FFX PB of 10:28:54 which is my main focus right now. No real progress on my other games but I'll probably work on crystal chronicles soon.

I'm in the exact same situation, not exactly sure what to do for the first 2 nights

Just as a heads up the hotel is getting very full, so if anybody is delaying like I was you should probably hurry up and book a room

I agree with Kenny but for different reasons, I just don't really think a room or player camera should ever be in the centre of the layout.

Also the 4:3 single doesn't really support much room for names, which is an issue for 4 player co-op.

Run updates:

Final Fantasy X: New PB of 10:30:40, estimate will probably remain the same Final Fantasy V: No new PB, but when I get one it'll be good (I hope). Expecting a sub 4 run soon Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Yet to learn the all dungeons route, but shouldn't take too long since the only truly difficult part of this run is the final dungeon (which I'm practised in from any%). 4-player co-op will be quite different from single player anyway. Final Fantasy Type-0 HD: Started learning and improving the route on this today. The estimate will definitely come down a lot but (probably to around 4:30) but I'll update further when I actually start doing runs.

Edit: Also Thiefbugs video keeps auto-playing for me on this page and its quite annoying, please fix :3

15 second spider solitaire? That I'd like to see

Forgot to include donation incentives. They'll add time to my estimate, but I have no idea how much yet
