Notice to PAL gamers
Contrary to what was thought years up until now, it IS possible to complete this challenge on the PAL version of the game. camdad04 has completed a run on the NTSC version of the game, where if the time is adjusted roughly for PAL, it is under 12 hours with a few minutes to spare. However, you will have to be extremely strict about how many encounters you take and how quickly certain battles go if you are to succeed. As of yet, it is inconclusive as to whether it is possible to complete this challenge on PAL and also collect 10 Promist Ring, as this requires a major detour. camdad04 is in the process of a run that does just this (on the NTSC version, time adjusted for PAL).

Disc 4
'''IMPORTANT NOTE: This timetable does not take into account the time taken for the 10 Promist Ring Detour. It will take around 15-25 minutes to complete aunctioning 9 Promist Ring at Treno, depending on how flexible you can be with the bidding and time.'''
