Sorry but the other guide is just guessing and not very good.
Common consensus seems to be that you can’t take more than 8 hours.
Once again I’ll be referring to the Blessed Saint “marcv666” over at the steam forums. His guide got me through the SOLO and SPEEDRUN in 6.5 hours as TRESSA THE MERCHANT. Although his guide isn’t specifically a speed run guide.

Give the guys yt a sub, he put in a ton of work in the guide. (The YouTube channel on its own isn’t very useful though)

I wasn’t super efficient, I could’ve grinded for xp more and I wasn’t super efficient with my route eg I can’t say I needed to get the THIEF, MERCHANT shrines or visit every town (although some did help for gear).
As I said I could’ve grinded some more and as a result the chapter 3 boss was a little tougher and the chapter 4 boss was was really tough. Ch4 took about 10 attempts

Thanks Jazz, nice to know the timings!

I just did this solo with Tressa with no real issues - finished at 7 hours exactly, but I took some extra time to get the missable monsters for the achievement for idenitfiying all weaknesses.
I also struggled a bit in the Ice Maw, you need to switch over to hunter and use arrowstorm there instead of going in as sorcerer.
Other then that, last boss took a couple tries but the fight was very predictable (outside of how often patience triggers).
Honestly getting evasive maneuvers was probably the hardest part.
Happy to answer any questions since it's recent in my mind.
Like Jazz above I finished at lvl 49. I never felt really rushed like some other time-based completions. I can at least confirm that 7 hours is acceptable (the title says up to 8).

Similar to the apparently salty user who posted above. There is a speedrunner on YouTube, AnimeFanX11, who has ~2 hour runs for most characters solo which will give a lot of room for mistakes/cautiousness on the requirement for this achievement (assumed to be less than 8 hours). This will also net you Lone Traveler if you have not yet completed it:
The Lone Traveler achievement in Octopath Traveler worth 524 pointsSaw your journey through without aid from others.
I followed his run (1hr 37m) and completed with Tressa at level 35 in 3hr 35m. The reason for the discrepancy other than my carefulness is that he uses one glitch to get an item to sell for 15k and it's not easily achieved on Xbox. But that gold can be made through grinding or just checking a chest checklist for unobtained gold like in the Derelict Mine or Carrion Caves.
Required 180k gold exactly to summon the veteran soldiers to beat the final boss. It did take a little bit of luck (~7 tries on final boss) due to turn rolls.
Here is his Solo Playlist. He has other runs than Tressa though I'm sure most rely on Merchant Hire:

I really enjoyed using this video over the other guide, not that the steam one wasn't extremely thorough, but it was a little too thorough at times. This video gave me what felt like a ton of wiggle room to do anything extra that helped me feel more confident going into the boss fights.
One thing I did different, since I knew I was going to need to grind a little extra gold, (because of the glitch he used on PC for the spear) I used an extra 500 JP for Tressa during the Tomb grinding, to buy one more skill and get her grows on trees perk. This helped a lot for saving some time getting the extra gold. Finished at level 40 and just under 3 and 1/2 hours.

Thank you for posting this, as it is a lot easier to follow for me than the text guide from Steam. I just wanted to add that in the description of one of his videos he includes a link to another Youtube video that shows how to get to the item you referenced on Xbox. It involves turning the Xbox off at the same time you input avoiding the boss after being prompted to fight or walk away. It is not necessary as you noted, but it is possible for those who wish to try.

For this achievement, you must beat the game in under eight hours. This sounds difficult, but you only need to complete the four chapters of one specific character's journey to accomplish this. In your main playthrough, you'd be recruiting all characters and doing a ton of extra content that can be skipped here. You will want to couple this achievement with a solo run to unlock Lone Traveler (50G) at the same time. While this does make the speed run slightly more difficult, it is still entirely doable. In fact, you can complete it in about 5-6 hours fairly easily with Tressa, and each character generally has a viable option to do so as well.
The guide found HERE will lay out how to do the solo speed run. It focuses mostly on Tressa, but does offer tips on other characters as well.
