I saw this and figured I'd spread the word. It's actually pretty fun to watch.
The guys over at The Speed Gamers are having a Final Fantasy Marathon for 7 days straight, raising money for the charity Act Today!, which provides assistance to families with autistic children.
They're going to play every Final Fantasy game in the series (even roughly 12 hours of XI), and try to beat them all within the 7 day limit, while accepting donations. Their goal is to raise $20,000.
It's kinda entertaining to watch, and they even have a chat setup and will talk with the people through it. They've already gotten to the first page of Digg and raised about 5% of their goal in the first 3 hours.
They're also going to be doing prizes. If you donate at least $5, then they're going to enter you into a drawing. The winner of the drawing gets to spin the "Wheel of Destiny" and win a prize (Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn. Tell us the lesson that we should learn.). They repeat the exact details about every half hour or so.
Go head over there and watch a bunch of fellow nerds playing classic video games for charity. It's surprisingly entertaining.

Rather interesting them respond in live to chat comments.
They deserve all the money they can get if they're going to play Final Fantasy VII at all.

So they've only been at this for 7 hours now and they're already on II? That's pretty impressive. If I wasn't broke I would totally donate some money to the cause.
How do you beat XI?
Seriously, I wanna know so I can quit.

You could beat XI but you would most likely haet yourself afterwards.
All jobs 75
All skills/crafts blue numbered
All quests missions completed (including **** like clearing all dynamis' and finishing all relics/mythics)
Beat every NM atleast once
Fully cap merits
Cap gil i guess too...
Then look back on the last 40 years of your life in amazement

I'm not positive on the details, but they said they're going to do something along the lines of a level 1 city run, and a newly released scenario that involves a lot of moogles.
That's just awesome.

I guess just getting rank 6 would count as beating the main game.

They couldn't even get to level 50 in 12 hours, how would they beat 5-1 much less the Shadow Lord?
