" You can use your items more often, especially your medicine etc. You'll find that you won't be using them often  in battle since you're more concentrated on fighting. Also many of the best items aren't usable in battle at all. So just keep status-curing items and stuff and use the healing stuff instead of draining SP with spells. "
what he said. also, i think that the short length of the video works pretty well for dungeon crawling, but once you get to social linking i always want to see more. i'm excited to see if yukiko gets to 10 next episode.

" To correct something that's been said in these comments:YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING STUCK ON THE PATH TO AN ENDING.The choices that lead you to the bad or the merely good ending are always right before the ending happens, and there's never a save spot after that, so you can't get stuck. "
Oh, my bad. I was under the impression that there's a huge delay between cause and effect regarding the endings.

Chie owning the robot was awesome.  That should go on the highlight reel.

"Just so you know, Chie is a little gimped right now in the damage department.  Your other cohorts are learning -dyne spells, but she has no more Ice magic to learn, and her first heavy physical attack won't come until Level 67.  Power Charge will probably make up for some of that, though."
annnnnd it doesn't help that they got rid of Black Spot. and Power Charge does make up for, it is also really useful for bosses, and besides late in the game she learns incredible physicals, IE God Hand. For me Chie was the hardest hitter at the end of the game. "
That shouldn't be too big a deal (hopefully), but it means they're spending an extra 5% of her health each turn or so.

"It's not that big of a deal..

but I liked the screen cap thumbnail thingy more than the big numbers telling you what episode you're watching."

That might have been done to help keep track of the Persona 4 Endurance Run episodes when mixed in with episodes of the Matrix Online Endurance Run. No need to check the video name because there's a big number telling you "hey, this one is obviously Persona 4". "
It's for the iPhone app.

Love the Endurance Run more and more every day.

A quick word of caution! The "strong enemies" (the ones that glow pink) cast Hamoan and tend to target the leader. If you go up against them, make sure you have something equipped that's immune to light.

Chie kicks ass!  Over 1800 damage on that counter!  That was sweet!  :)

And the followup, I love the animation when she criticals an enemy!  Awesome!

If I were them -- which I'm not so stop saying that I am -- I'd use a separate memory card and save a backup to it while off camera. Because computers are dicks.

I'd also cast bufu at everything. All the time. Even Fox. Even Chie. Even that fat chick who ate all the food on the camping trip. BUFU, motherfuckers. By Us For Us to freeze your lame ass straight OFF.

That's my obsessive compulsive RPG advice for the day.

I'm pretty sure they said they would keep going until something bad happened. Which is why they are using one Save as well I think?

About Nanako's S. Link: she's available while a dungeon is in progress, on nights you don't go into the TV.  Although, I guess you still need to rank up your Expression some...

You know, I kinda hope Jeff & Vinny decide to do something non-JRPG for the next Endurance Run, but dammit if I didn't watch this today and think, "I'd love to watch J&V do an ER on this game".

@SpiritOf:  Dude, yes!  I'm currently playing Mana-Khemia 1 on PSP, and it's the best rpg I've played since PS4.  That would be awesome if they played Mana-Khemia 2, but I think they'd go crazy with all the synthesizing and running back and forth between the workshop and workshop hallway, heh.  P4 with all its loading screens has less than Mana-Khemia, I think.

ER's I'd think would be for good games.

For us, maybe, we're bloodsuckers, always wanting more. :-)

But to record a weeks worth would take over two and a half hours, not to mention all the editing and encoding. It's a lot of time for what only constitutes a small portion of the GB site.

Guys...just wanted to point out that Power Charge applies to each strike on abilities that hit multiple times.  It has the potential to be much more efficient and deadly than attacks that deal a greater amount of damage once.

" since i can post near the top for once I just wanted to make a suggestion for Vinny and Jeff to create a backup save if they haven't already (which it doesn't seem like they did).  I am a few hours ahead of them and almost crapped myself tonight when I got a failed save, luckily I only lost about 25 minutes due to keeping frequent backups, but that would be awful if the endurance run had to end because of something like that.otherwise, keep up the great work on this and the site, it is much appreciated. "

Funny, I was just thinking about that when I watched Episode 100.

Nahhh...When the robot perform a normal attack on you and you have Repel physical skill,it still get 1800 damage,not only Chie can do it.Each time you face physical attack enemy/boss,you just change persona with repel physical,push triangle button and you may go to the toilet.

Past rank10 I must say that Chie's been rather uninteresting as a romantic girlfriend, you'd think that the dialogue options with her would change & maybe at least call you as another name that your girlfriend might call you as well as all the hijinxs as something like that is said in front of the others. I'd imagine that Teddy would have some amusing reactions to hearing that Charlie & Chie are dating.

This drove me NUTS about Persona. I'm assuming it's cause it was a PS2 game and they didn't have the space on the disc to record all those different dialogs (keep in mind they'd have to do different ones for Yukiko, Naoto AND Rise) so I understand why they did it. But it's STILL massively disappointing.
