The Rando Marathon is a biannual weekend event celebrating all the great and wonderful video game randomizers. The event is held on the second weekend of June and December, each year. The marathons raise money for charity with 100% of all proceeds going to the charity. All randomizer communities are invited to join these events.

A guild for aspiring content creators and affiliated with FFV Central has been announced courtesy of clymax.
Members accepted into the guild will gain access to a private section in the FFV Central Discord. There is no cost to be a member.
In the Discord section, they can share tips and techniques with like-minded content creators, brainstorm and discuss video concepts, and explore potential collab opportunities in content creation.
The vision for the guild is that together, we can take on the algorithm better. Just like a full party in the FF series is stronger than going solo.
Eligibility requirements are as follows.
You’re looking to grow a channel on YouTube. Not on TikTok, IG, Twitch, Facebook, Rumble, etc.
Your channel coverage must include classic Final Fantasy (I-VI) in some way, shape, or form. At least one such piece of content is required to already exist on your channel. Any game version is OK. OK to also cover modern Final Fantasy. OK to also cover other JRPG franchises or other game genres. Classic FF does not have to be the main focus of your channel.
Longform videos, shorts, and livestreams are all OK as a focus.
Your channel must not be monetized and must never have been monetized. Achieving monetization as a guild member will not jeopardize your guild membership.
You are serious about growing your channel and getting and staying monetized, even if it is only as a hobby. You want more than a channel of random gaming or modding clips.
You must meet YouTube’s monetization factor of three uploads in the last ninety days, on a rolling basis.
On your channel, you have not and will not buy subs or views except as permitted by YouTube, e.g., the YouTube Promote feature.
You are not required to be a modder, although modders who are otherwise eligible are welcome.
Due to the nature of the guild and the community that are being built, membership cannot be guaranteed, although your interest is appreciated. FFV Central reserves the right to decline membership for any reason or for no reason.
To apply or for more information, please reach out to clymax via the FFV Central Discord or via DM on this website or via Discord.

Writes Neo fresh off the heels of his 300-sub special (playlist here):
Today is a special event stream! It will be a Final Fantasy V 4 Job Fiesta race with @Madness302-s5i but with a twist! The version of Final Fantasy V we will be racing on is the Whirlwind Rom Hack created by @cIymax! The first person to defeat Exdeath wins!
Can underdog Madness prevail against the reigning Fiesta Roles Leader in Neo?
The Winter 2025 edition of the FFR Rando Marathon has been announced by FFR admin DarkmoonEX.
Says DarkmoonEX:
On December 5th, 6th, and 7th, the Final Fantasy Randomizer community will be hosting our fourth annual Winter edition of the FFR Rando Marathon.
As always, this is a charity marathon and we are so very happy to once again partner with the SC Firefighters’ Burned Children’s Fund, a charity dedicated to easing the recovery process for pediatric burn patients and their families in South Carolina. 100% of all proceeds will go to the charity.
Regarding the marathon format, DarkmoonEX continues:
The Marathon will have scheduled slots from 10:00 AM EST Friday Dec 5th to Midnight (11:59 PM EST) Sunday Dec 7th. With enough submissions, there will also be a pre-show on Dec 4th. All randomizers are welcome!
We are incredibly fortunate to always have so many randomizers/communities take part in our marathon and we can’t wait to see who submits this year! Submissions are open now through November 2nd @ 11:59 PM EST.
For more info, see the resources below. If you have any questions, you can find an FFR rep on the FFVC Discord or on the FFR Discord. You can also reach out to clymax.
