I don't know why, but watching Persona 10-20min at a time interests me more then ever playing the game. Please keep it up.

I've been watching these for the past few days... and I gotta say... Izunagi has a spell called Rakunda, and it lowers a foes defense (great for bosses.) Another thing is... you can use R2 and L2 to turn the camera 45 degrees. Oh, and I'm not sure if you guys know this or not... but physical moves like Cleave/bash/skewer use hp instead of sp.

Trust me, you need to switch the other members to "Direct Command" especially in like an hour or two of gameplay...depending you are on the Yukiko situation

super long episode today yay!... loving this endurance run. Ive pre-orderd myself a copy ... yea thats right pre-orderd, its not out here in the lovely UK till the 13 of next month which kinda sucks but then I have just bought persona 3 and from what ive read and played ( ahem pressed x mostly) so far it seems like its going to be a pretty long game. I may end up playing 3 and 4 at the same time!...I know crazy right!?... oh and watching this endurance run totally sparked my interest enough for me to eventually go out and buy the games for myself. good or bad thing?...hmmm?

Yay for crazily costumed bosses. And not saving Yukiko's life because the characters are a little bit tired.

This is awesome. It kinda pisses me of when they do something i wouldn't for some reason, like when they went up stairs before exploring the whole first floor area.

This is going to go on for long enough not to need them to explore the rest of the floor. If they aren't  constantly dying due to lack of experience- I'd be much happier if they stayed on the straight and narrow for the most part.

If you want to see the rest of the- if its like Persona 3- randomly generated floor- I'd recommend going out and buying the game. I'd recommend to almost everyone the purchase of this game.

Trust me- with the Social Links and Requests- there will be plenty of wandering.

Your party member's levels are the same as their personas...when their persona levels up they do as well.
However Charlie has two seperate things to level...himself and the current persona he has equipped. Rememvber that whatever your equipped persona's weaknesses and strengths is CHARLIE's as well.

If you dont remember what persona was what or what  does a certain move do....press square instead of X. Changing personas doesnt cost a turn but you can only do it once, no takebacks.

To get the PLayer Advantage instead of ENemy Advantage...hit them in the back...when u see the ! mark, take a few steps closer and WHAM before they turn!

To make the game a lot easier, go to Tactics during battle and set your teammates to DIrect Command so you can control them. The AI sometimes isn't too great.

You have till the foggy day to save Yukiko but IT WILL take multiple days to save her.   I recommend buying "Goho-M" greatly. If you dont...you will be stuck inside the dungeon after you run out of SP and die.

Do not use the analog stick for camera control...use L1 and R1

Nice that you mention Megatron...one of the end game personas is Metatron but I always call him Megatron xD.

Oh man, I forgot about that "Fo' Sho" line lol


Just to clear it up, you can go in the TV at almost anytime, just not during school or at night.  Make sure you save the people before there are multiple days of rain, because it's game over if you don't.  I always just rescue the person within the first week just so I don't have to worry about it later.

"You have till the foggy day to save Yukiko but IT WILL take multiple days to save her.   I recommend buying "Goho-M" greatly. If you dont...you will be stuck inside the dungeon after you run out of SP and die."

You should be able to get thru the castle in one or two days if you are buying as many TaP Sodas as possible, or you're lucky enough to get your SP restored by an Arcana Chance card.

As has already been said, it's best to only go in the TV on rainy days so you don't waste precious opportunities to increase S.Links.

Dudes, always stock up on Dr. Salt NEO and TaP Soda. These dungeons will be MURDER on your SP, and you need those to keep it up.

Next cycle, emphasize armor over weapons. Physical skills like Cleave drain from HP, so you can use those if you need to conserve XP, which you'll need if you intend to get all the way to the dungeon checkpoints.

For camera control, it's best to steer with the camera, using the right stick. Just press forward. It's easiest to get the drop on them that way.

For Boss fights, switch to direct command, it's the best that way. AI is smarter this time, but overuses its SP.


Minor spoilers: PLAY NICE WITH THE FOX.

At some point- no matter how much advice they want or we toss out- we'll just have to watch them play and see how their playstyle develops. To max out Social Links- or grind Personas and Requests- that is the question!
Though not always- because you can do both.
Like I said- wait and see.

I have a request:

The next time somebody falls to their knees in the game I need to hear somebody say "Hey, while you're down there..."

It's happened twice in the game so far and I can NOT believe that Vinny or Jeff haven't taken the opportunity to break out that old chestnut.

Please change the TACTICS to take control of everyone next time. TACTICS it's right above Guard in the Battle Menu, or in the field press SQUARE and select TACTICS.

Protip: when the game tells you who the enemy is aiming for, take control of that person with tactics and make him/her guard.

This game is awesome. I took advantage of that Amazon deal and bought the game. Once it gets here I plan on catching up.

41 minutes! Woo hoo! That is a great length.

Oh, the music that has started to play while you guys play the game is really awesome. The whole presentation of this game is amazing.

You guys need to watch They Live again. Roddy Piper and Keith David totally get their hands on some contact lenses that allow them to see through the alien ruse.

Anyway, this was a good endurance run. I'll be checking for more of these.

So you can change your persona more than once per battle now huh. Still seems a lot like P3, but I don't really like the new art style, but that's just me. Thanks to these videos I started playing P3 again. 35h in, I wonder if I will have completed it at the time of the release of P4 in EU...
