I gotta really thank Vinny and Jeff for doing this endurance run. I still watch it because these guys are hilarious, but in the time since they started it, I've beaten Persona 4 two times already, and I think it's become one of my favorite games. I didn't even wanna give it a chance before the endurance run.

I just really hope they use a FAQ or have read enough to know that eventually, there's gonna be a point where they have to decide between bad endings and true endings. I hope they at least get a good ending, because it'd be a shame for them to go this far, and not have all the questions answered by getting a bad ending.

First btw ^_^ never have before.

Recent Endurance Runs have been longer than usual, yip!

Edited by Mu5hy - July 24, 2009 at 5:31 AM

I sure hope the situation has changed, I don't like that they have to wait until the situation changes.

edit : I don't like that I have to wait until the situation changes on this page, as in... the video going up.

I got the choice between the bad and good ending in Persona 3 and it was obvious which I needed to choose. Is it more complicated in Persona 4 that they would need to use a FAQ?

Well, it doesn't straight up say the choice will lead to the bad ending, however its not that hard to tell its a major decision in the game. The true ending, though is really easy to miss if you don't already know what to do.

If I had a PS2 or a PS3 with BC capability(I got a new one that doesn't have back in December), I would totally buy this game and play all 80+ or whatever amount of hours it is. I never even knew about this game until Jeff and Vinny started this Endurance Run.

If Giant Bomb releases a DVD set of this, I would totally buy it. Seriously. I also think other people would buy it as well.

Make this happen Giant Bomb!

Not really, at least not after Episode 60-70. I for one love extra long videos like Episode 100. Any episode 60+ minutes gets me really excited. Hell, I get really excited over ANY Endurance Run episode!!!

I'm not sure what the legality of selling DVD's would be in terms of whether they'd need to pay Atlus or not. That aside though, I would still totally buy them, at least as long as they weren't hugely expensive

Of course. They would be able to do it, but they would need to pay Atlus and anybody else who owns the rights to use the Persona 4 name.

Still, though, I think it would still be profitable for Giant Bomb to venture into this. I just don't know if they have the capital and resources to mass produce copies of a series that would be ~80 hours long. I don't know how big these video files are, therefore how many would fit on a single DVD disc.

It's almost 100% likely that this will never happen(never say never, though), but at least ti's nice to think about.

They used to happen a lot more, they're a lot less frequent now. The only ones you should get with the latest vids are due to drop outs in your own connection.

Something tells me this may in some way be related to the previous "Duder, mysterious fox is displeased. Your social link has been penalized!" that was in params for 1062. :'(

C'mon guys, be good sports about it, its not like anyone was giving away spoilers. Other than, "LOOK! FLYING FOXES!".

Yep. To avoid the bad ending, you need to choose the correct response out of 4 choices 6 times in a row. It's hard to tell which ones are right because some responses are vague and the game only gives you one shot at making your argument. There's about 20 minutes worth of cutscene between it and the last save. The bad ending is completely unsatisfying and answers nothing about the situation; if they ended the Endurance Run on that, the comments thread would be a smoking heap of ash.

The normal ending is fine, but getting the Good Ending requires a few tricks of its own. Luckily, there's no cutscenes between the save and that choice, and there's no way to lock yourself into a path leading into a bad ending.

Just make sure you don't save over your file after a Bad Ending: if you save your game after the ending rolls, it starts the New Game+ from all the way back at the beginning.
