Going faster than light doesn't stop time. In fact, it would be the way around, according to relativity moving at the speed of light would stop time for YOU and as such the world around you would move at infinite speed until you stop moving at light speed (from your perspective). So the travel would be instant. I think Made in Heaven is based on that.

The reason why people claim JJBA to be FTL is different, it's due to some instances where stands visibly moved faster than literal light, but the problem i have with these feats is that they're completely out of author intent, and pretty much on the same level as the stars moving in the background in the Dream World. Essentially it's for visual convenience and does in no way mean the character was intended to be faster than light. Heck, one of the most well know feats, which is Silver Chariot slicing the Hanged Man, have been EXPLICITELY STATED by Polnareff right afterwards to be due to him knowing the Hanged Man's pattern, and that he couldn't react to or move at the speed of light himself. People are purposely ignoring that and taking the animation of Chariot slicing the Hanged Man out of context to wank. Also i'm fairly sure A speed stands have more consistent and in author intent Hypersonic+ feats.

As for Star Platinum's faster than light statement, it was a figure of speech, refering to his ability to stop time. Considering all A speed stands are comparable in speed, it wouldn't make sense for this to be written only on Star Platinum's bio and not the others.
