Apparently they continue in the dungeon.

@dvmoc:
The whole concept of a video game Endurance Run predates save files.  I think they're trying to stay in the spirit of the arcade Endurance Runs by allowing for potentially fatal technical issues.  It adds to the seat-of-the-pants spirit of the videos.

So I was thinking that they should S. Link.  But with all those SPs they have, it's tank-punting time!

Dude, it's never a good sign when enemies take an attack in the face and reply by standing by.

You all know it was originally only meant to be in 15-20 minute chunks, 18 minutes is right on target. 


Also, Chie is awesome!

Looking ahead, Diarahan is probably one of the most useless and expensive spell, I would not recommend replacing Diarama with it.

Since about the last 80 episodes have been longer than 30 minutes I think its fair to say expectations have changed.

Can't complain really. If they played on after the dungeon it would've probably ended up being another 50+ minute episode.

Wow that was crazy damage you did with Chie's counter on the robot. I know it's HP stats are a little weird considering you can get hundreds of points of damage... but I've never seen a thousand like that before. Crazy.

You were talking about Yosukes wind being awesome- bear in mind wind boost and wind amp stack to make it even more awesome, so when you get the next don't overwrite the other, and Yosuke will kick even more ass.

You guys are really fucking stupid to complain when you get an episode that is less than your ideal length.

They're doing this for you as a privilege, it's theirs to decide how long they make the episodes.

Guys, congrats on making a lot of progress in the dungeon!  That counter that Chie did was brutal.  I have a question: when a counter is activated, does it increase the damage dealt?

Good episode today.  Shorter than the last few but it seemed warranted after a long go at it the past few eps.  Can't wait to see what Yukiko's super persona is like.

Long time watcher, first time poster.

I have to ask you guys the try and put the effort into getting a Tam Lin. Much like how Black Frost helped immensely during the Mitsuo boss fight Tam helps a lot during the next fight.

Maybe this was answered before, but why don't they use 2/3 saveslots "just in case"? Maybe its just me, but I always rotate saveslots, especially in RPG's!

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.

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.

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.

Not a particularly exciting episode today. Oh well.

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".

Although "Personae" is the proper plural of "Persona", the game uses "Personas".

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.
