Luck manipulation vs leveling up. Luck manipulation wins.
"Those of you not familiar with this game will be disappointed by the anticlimactic ending. There appears to be an uber-weapon that casts an uber-spell that kills literally everything in the game in one hit, even the final boss. It's pretty lame, though you can't exactly blame mookish for poor game design." -xebra

Luck manipulation vs leveling up. Luck manipulation wins!
TheAxeMan polished up the previous version by mookish by over 17 minutes! One of the biggest time-savers is only keeping alive the characters you need, so less commands have to be issued. In general fewer weapons and no armor at all is acquired, and no inn is ever visited.
There is a weapon in this game that has a very slim (but not zero) chance of instantly killing any enemy. This is abused heavily towards the end to devastate big enemies fast.
An item of interest is that the author actually saves and resets the game as a tool for luck manipulation.

Final Fantasy is one of those games which needs no introduction to most gamers. For the rest of you, the game follows four generic heroes who are trying to restore the four orbs which have been contaminated, and ultimately defeat Chaos.
Unfortunately only one of the warriors is actually a hero; the rest are sissies who died early on during the quests. Strange as this may sound, much time is saved by doing so since fewer commands need to be entered every time the player runs from a random encounter.
This version is almost 3 minutes faster than the previous movie, predominantly by the use of a computer program to assist in battle planning and by walking in no-encounter areas more often.

Even if you see a 10 seconds difference between this and the previous movie, don't get fooled! This version is actually 00:02.45 seconds faster! This mistake is due to the movie file format change (FCM to FM2). This improvement is done by fighting the boss Garland faster than before, and by using some tweaks you can see in the author's comments.
