Hello people! This summer me and some of my friends realised we had something in common - a decent ammount of freetime. Intending to do something about it, we will be holding a final fantasy marathon to entertain ourselves and hopefully an audience - that being everyone willing to watch from a safe distance via livestream. So, about us then. We're a group of 4 friends who've known eachother for the last few years, mostly via studies. We're either students, or in my case, soon-to-be-student after having completed my compulsory military service in the swedish army (middle of June). This idea came about a few months ago, and we formed the group "Tantalus 4" for pure fun. Tantalus 4 marathon rules: Time limit: The goal is 10 days (240 hours) Consoles: PS3, Nintendo DS (for FF III) Style: Single-segment (saving allowed, but limited by time). Only one game at the time, and we count it completed once we have defeated the final boss. Tantalus 4 marathon information: Games: FF I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, XIII Members: MasterSundberg (VI, VIII, XII), KingVikmo (I, V, IX, X), Emanuel (II, IV, VII, X, XIII), Rickard (III, VIII, X, XII, XIII) Date: 18th July Recording: The games will be live-streamed from our website. Also, broadcasts from other events/random stuff will be added. Website: www.tantalus4.se Game order: 13, 2, 8, 5, 1, 12, 4, 10, 6, 7, 9, 3 Location: Sweden, MasterSundberg's or Vikmo's apartment More info will be added as time passes. Stay Tuned! So what do you people think? Will we make it or not? If you have questions or are interested, about anything, ask away or visit our website at www.tantalus4.se It's kind of plain, but works for our purpose. UPDATE: 13 July The game schedule is ready. It may still change, but this is the plan! We choose the current game-order because 1) We will need to rest and 2) Watching 6 2D-games in a row might get at bit tiresome. Also, we had to move the start-date a few days, mainly because it's getting increasingly hard to keep the time plan. Most trouble right now are FF VI (No Joker Doom, no fun), FF VII (really unforgiving at low-levels before you get to the good parts of the speed-run) and FF IX (limit-glove and only do so much). Comments, tips and strategies are always welcome! On to the good news! Things are moving forward. We feel a great deal of the games are under control, in the "under control"-section are FF I, FF II, FF III, FF VIII (though Griever's shockwave-pulsar is... fun) and FF X (Rikku saves the day!). On the flip-side, we've hardly started on some games and other games are truly challenging. Location: Johan's or Joakim's apartment. Start: July 22, 12.00 Local time (GMT +1) Game order: 13, 2, 8, 5, 1, 12, 4, 10, 6, 7, 9, 3 Much love, MasterSundberg and the Tantalus 4 crew
