It's getting pretty annoying trying to wait for Vinny to get an advantage. I'd say just hit the thing!

Naoto's music makes me think of some kind of cop drama show, except the dungeon setting was some nuclear underground mad scientist base. So you see its hard to make references to actual cop drama shows. Like Dragnet. (Ho ho ho)

Jeff needs to rag the controller out of vinnys hand.

i feel jeff totally has it now, he's got the game.

vinny however, keeping a light psychical spell and ditching blackspot, generally playing like a sissy and having to wait EVERY time for them to turn around, only to miss them anyway....
 if jeff does not have the pad the next endurence run i dont think i will watch it as much as i have this one, ill only watch exciting episodes with story.

Yeah, I hate to sound like I'm complaining about little mistakes, but it was more than a bit disappointing seeing you take so much time weighing the options to learn Heat Wave without ever considering Rampage. C'mon guys, you know better than that.

I don't get why people are getting so upset about not removing Rampage for Heatwave when in reality, Rampage is the stronger skill.  Heat Waves damage for Chie's current strength is sqrt(33*250) = 90.829 whereas Ramapage is sqrt(33x80)= 51.380 for one hit, 102.761 for two and 154.142 for three.

Heatwave is approximately 77% stronger if rampage hits once, 13% weaker if it hits twice, and 70% weaker if it hits three times. They probably should have removed skull cracker or ditch heatwave alltogether.

I think Jeff might agree with me since he was a big Phantasy Star Online guy,

but does this dungeon remind anyone else of the PSO Ruins level?

All we need now are some MAGs and some pointy ears!

I quit watching the Endurance Run on like Ep.22 because I picked up Persona 3, loved it, and realized I would like to experience P4 myself, THEN watch the ER. 


But reading these comments and seeing how concerned you guys are about the gameplay decisions they're making is really entertaining. It's cool that all these people know so much about the game.

"Cue people screaming about Black Spot being replaced with Heat Wave instead of Skull Cracker, on 3. "

Blarg, they didn't change out Chie's Armor.

It has evade (high odds) when she has boots that are counter (high odds) and she has counterstrike. >_>.

Also the other armor had like 188 armor, which is like 60 more i believe.

and for the quote, i haven't reached this part yet but, ARGH ACK BLAAAH.

Power Charge with Black Spot would be really good for bosses (till she learns better Single-Hit Physicals)

You haven't like confused an enemy with Skull Cracker since like the Bath House. >_>.

To Vinny's comment about the jetpack in Red Faction, i actually found myself using that more once i got it and the recharge boost.  It's fun flying up to a mountain overlooking a base and then sniping dudes with my nano rifle.

Hey, i was just gunna say that once you beat Eos in red faction, you have to do some more stuff to kill the battle cruiser space thing, then you beat the game. So its still got a little bit of time left. And you have to do some homo guirilla action steal-the-car miissions that go from like Eos all the way to the badlands and stuff that take 30 minutes. Have fun.

It's great watching this again, because I STILL feel the need to post advice in the comments. I mean I'd do it respectfully. Like "DUDE! Rangda is the SHIT, you should TOTALLY fuse her!" And then I realize, "Oh wait...this was a year ago...you're too late."

I love how every persona in the Persona series is based on an actual mythical person or creature... or god.  
 
Interesting fact: Yatagarasu is a 3 legged crow that is a sort of sun god in ancient Japan and is the emblem of Japan's national soccer team. Also, Yatagarasu was a guide for the first emperor of Japan, Jimmu. That is, according to Japanese legend. And now you know.
