Final Fantasy 9 insanity% rules

Rules:
RTA timed, no extended breaks (sleeping, etc.). Standard SRL rules apply.
Food breaks and the like are allowed.
Remember to have fun.
Accidentally missing one or two things (like a Mognet letter) is fine in a race setting, just don't intentionally skip anything.
For cross-platform (PC/console) races, make a good faith effort to keep it fair. PC should not skip FMVs or use an autoclicker/turbo unless the console runners also have turbo access. PC may use the faster battle entry animation.
If all runners are on the PC version, FMV skips and turbo are allowed. Boosters are not allowed.

NOT required for the category:
Any specific level. Beat the game at level 1 if you want.
Maxing skills, stats inventory, cash, etc. Maxing Dragon's Crest may be helpful, though.
All Key Items (or any other items not mentioned above). Jump Rope and Hippaul are the big ones here. Requiring all key items is unreasonable due to how fluid the key item inventory is, and the coffees that are traded in a key items.
All Treasures. This is mostly because it would be very easy to miss a field treasure without noticing, and some treasures are very easy to miss without realizing.
The Nero Family sidequest. Insanity% is meant to be an RTA-feasible "100%" category with the subgoals of being fun and being possible to pick up with a few key notes pointed out. The iteration worked very well with less notes than currently available, as someone's first playthrough missed one ability and that was all.  The Nero family sidequest grants a Protect Ring at the cost of being immensely tedious and easy to mess up, even with notes. Protect Rings are infinite (8500 Hot and Cold Points), so 'unique item' can't factor into this.
Viewing all Mognet letters. Only the letters that are delivered from one Moogle to another, viewable from Mognet Central are required.
All items. Not maxing items, but obtaining 1 of every unique item in the main item inventory. The biggest reason for this is the Hammer and Tin Armor are mutually exclusive, but also because this adds a lot of rigidity to the shops and is very easy to miss an item...and very difficult to verify. Additionally, the Excalibur II is also not part of the definition as mentioned above.


Ultimately, what is and is not required comes down to completing sidequests, without requiring omniscient knowledge of the game in order to have a chance of completing the category. After that, if it's excessively grindy without any benefit (learning the abilities gives a benefit, grinding to 99 doesn't give much of one, farming max items gives even less, and Jump Rope gives a key item and cards obtainable by other means), it's dropped. What was left in the game is the category.
