there are a lot of games that take over 24+hours to complete
I heard you like Baten Kaitos 100%?

Yeah....
I don't even remember anything about that game but the twist.
I'm not sure why a 100% would take that long though.
Edit: Oh, right, the cards would evolve after a certain time, and one of them takes two weeks.
So the speed run is really just "how long does it take to get this one card."
Pretty much yeah, the runner still has to plan his two weeks pretty much to the minute and a whole lot of time save comes from optimizing menu navigation as time to evolve cars doesn't pass on the menus.
Man I honestly don't get why anyone would try speedruning a game that takes 24+ hours to complete even if you skip half of the game
Hugo One has a novelty run of San Andreas (novelty meaning it's modded, e.g. Chaos Mod, Randomizer, and non-competitive because it's not an actual category) that's almost 70 hours long
