I
was making a run and got to the first crystal, but for some reason it took ten turns to kill wing raptor. After that and a few other things (like naming butz <battu> and not <a>), I came out 336 frames behind. I guess I'll move on and do a run of mother 2 or something. Good luck on finishing the run.
One thing I don't understand is how you run away at optimal times (apparently) without manipulating it at all. Also, in my opinion, it looks cooler to hold l and r only at the required times, like in erokky's ff6 run. In ff5, this is the 5fth frame after the screen fully appears (or whenever after that you need to start running to get away optimally) until (before) 3 frames before the cursor disappears.
I strongly support publishing only runs in the japanese version, since it's the only offical version and for the sake of our japanese speakers (and enthusiasts).
