yea, I think that cutscenes should be included in the final time. I would probably attempt it on the computer and I guess the question would be would it load faster with the pc version of the game or the psx version. I don't have a VCR anymore so I couldn't record it on TV. If anybody has any suggestions I would love to hear them. I heard there was a speed FAQ on gamefaqs so I'll read up on it after work tonight. After really thinking about it I think 7 hours isn't feasible and maybe even 9-10 hours would be a good goal to start with and I can work from there.

Possibly 7 hours, but you'd have to skip the cutscenes, skip Yuffie and Vincent and that right there is 2-3 hours. My file was just a fool around file where I was extremely bored in my youth. Like stopping to lvl up, playing at gold saucer etc. =) It could take a little under 2 hours just to get out of Midgar alone. I guess it's all speculation at the moment

Hello! This is my first post here and I just found this site a couple of days ago. Anyway, this post interested me and I want to add a few things. It is very possible to complete this game in under 15 hours. I have a old ps1 save file where I'm 14 hours and 52 minutes into the game and I have it saved right before jenova, safer sephiroth, etc. Few tricks for anybody trying to attempt this, or who knows, maybe I will try it one day =) First off you need to turn message speed and battle speed to fast, 2nd always set battles to active. 3rd get Big Guard ASAP. You will be low level and it is imperative to get this, it adds haste, protect, and magic barrier all in one shot to the whole party. It won't even matter if your a low level because you will easily get many turns in. It is imperative to have all 3 of your members with this enemy skill. 4th only use Aeris when you have to obviously. My main party always consisted of Barret, Cid, and Cloud because Barret's and Cid's 4th limit break are very easy to obtain. 5th always have your characters in hyper mode, fast limit breaks = more kills. 6th lol though questionable is to get the W-Item materia and pump out those megaexilers. Also 2x cut is very nice to equip to highest dmg melee user. When you reach the end you'll be around level 48-52 with your main characters and you do reach the end you'll see where big guard comes in super handy and also running away from those tougher battles in the cave. Well that's all I can think off for now and it's 3 in the morning. I know this post is from a long time ago but it is very possible to accomplish such a run. Well that's it for now, good night!
