Endurance Run

Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 101

I'm not going to lie, 100 episodes is a lot. Also, are you a cop?

Vinny and Jeff sit down and take a crack at the latest game in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Will they make it through the entire game?

Jul. 6 2009

Cast: Jeff, Vinny

Back to the dungeons it seems.  One question.  If the video is ready now...why can't we have it now?  The weekends are so boring without the Endurance Run.

@Vlaphor: The video isn't ready.  They just have the page up so that they can come in tomorrow and hit upload or it is on a timer to upload at a certain time each day(M-F).  Not sure which way it is.

I'll say they have a timer, because the video is uploaded each day at 6 am PT (or PDT, whatever you say pacific time) and I'm pretty confident that no one is at work at that time.

From the images it seems they are trying to get clues about naoto. Don't know if they actually make to the dungeon. And if they do, it will be A-Team in charge, for sure.

got to say the investigation stuff isn't as interesting, not Vinny and Jeff's fault I know it just seems like trailing around and sitting through load screens is (the worst) part of the game

You'll need a "red goldfish" for the next ema request and a "huge fish" as part of the last one, you can try to trade your Inaba trouts with the old man though.

While I prefer mustard on hot dogs myself (I only put ketchup on hamburgers), a poll that I put on this here website seems to indicate that 66% of people prefer ketchup on their hot dogs. Also, someone (I forget your name. Sorry!) suggested mayo on a hot dog. Next time I have a hot dog, I'm going to try mayo.

I guess what I'm saying is that ketchup fans shouldn't feel too bad. Also, mayo.

No, they finished the "Game" a while back.  The game was Mitsuo's Dungeon which is in the appearance of an old 8-bit game.  They also jokingly say that when weird stuff happens.  There's still probably 50 or 60 episodes left, judging on how long it's taking me to complete this game.

The fox quest is for a certain kind of fish, specifically a goldfish. You can still buy it off the program, but any other fish is fair game for feeding the cat.

No, you need a big fish to unlock the equipment necessary to catch the Guardian for the last Fox quest.

Yeah It really does break up the flow of the game.

Normally you're in a dungeon wanting to S link, then you're S linking wanting to hop in the dungeon.
The game always seemed to have you wanting to do the other while you played so it felt well paced for a jrpg.

I fucking hate when the game gets like this and they just run around the city over and over talking to people and hearing nothing at all entertaining.  I kind of wish they'd edit these videos a little bit so we didn't have to sit through this crap...but then again it is kind of fun to experience it with them.  I just wish they'd have made this part of the game a little more....well entertaining.

Even then it seems that they're unlikely to willingly hang out with him all that much since Vinny and Jeff don't like the guy all that much (probably enough to get a level 1 link).

They really killed the wrong Konishi.  I hate that little prick.

Jeff & Vinny  did a great job investigating.  I wasted a lot more time when I did this part a week ago, even though I've already beat the game twice.  I had totally forgotten who I needed to talk to and in what order.

I doubt it. I think if they do the true ending it'll be more like 160, maybe 170 episodes.

Also, P4 is probably my favorite PS2 RPG, but it'd be so much better without the "wandering around town talking to guys to get vague clues" parts.

What if Persona 4 is actually an elaborate commentary on the rise of increasingly larger and unnecessary televisions which contaminate the minds of select individuals causing a perception of reality that is unsatisfying, ultimately leading to drastic actions or conditions such as suicide or perhaps insanity?

Or... maybe not.

I'm exactly at the same point as they are/were when they recorded this. There's quite a jump in difficulty between Void Quest and the next dungeon, which troubles me. Now I have to start grinding yet again. :(
