The original GDQ event took place starting 1 January 2010, and was called Classic Games Done Quick. Its capstone game was Final Fantasy VI, which was released on 11 October 1994 in North America. So FFVI was a little over 13 years old when CGDQ happened.
SGDQ2025 took place starting 6 July of this year. That means GDQ events have been going on for 15.5 years, and the event is older than some of the “classic” games from CGDQ were at the time of that original event.
If SGDQ2025 had wanted to use a Final Fantasy game as its capstone, the game of comparable age as FFVI was during CGDQ would have been FFXIII-2, which released on 31 January 2012 in North America.

Imma give this one a pass, the life era that I am familliar with FF 13 is drastically far away from the life I have now that the retro title fits.
