Maybe, or maybe they just do some social linking and leave the boss and following events for next week.

Fingers crossed its the boss! The cutscene leading up to it is so intense.
 
EDIT: Checked out the images on Drew's account. Looks like we're definitely getting a boss fight! 
 
...Although it appears to stretch two episodes?

I dunno.
 Maybe they die? That or they just decided to split it up thanks to length or something.

While we're here, I'd like to make a heartfelt plea to everyone to stop freaking out about the endings. If they get the bad ending, they will RELOAD AND TRY AGAIN. There is no need to panic. There is no need to AGAIN post the extensive instructions on how to get all the endings. As someone who messed up the first time and got the bad ending, I can tell you there is no danger of fucking everything up.
 
Honestly, I want to see how Vinny and Jeff feel they should handle the crucial moments. If they consult a guide because they've been told they have to, I'll be really annoyed.

With the amount of times its been posted, I'll be surprised if they don't have the way to get each ending basically memorised. I doubt they'll consult a guide for it.

I'm very curious to see what Nanako's shadow looks like.  Also $10 says this boss has two forms.

Going into this boss battle I'm worried that the guys might be a bit under leveled after missing out on a lot of XP from 8th and 9th. We'll see.

Haha too bad :) I died my first try and I was level 76 or so.  I might put on a bunch of items for anti-wind, etc.

I thought  this was the most difficult boss in the game.  Later on you have many more powerufl skills to deal with foes.

Well I kinda doubt their beating this boss in 40 minutes, added with all the plot progression that goes with it, so they probably die and then do some grinding maybe.

Haven´t watched an episode of ER since episode 101 (watched from 1-101), so i will check this out, just to see if its still the same stale stuff going on. 
 
I would like to see a new game on here soon, this Persona 4 business is taking forever. There have been many fun episodes though, no doubt about that, i just feel bored looking at the same characters and graphics for so long.

@Fallen189: I don't see that as a given just from that quote or anything else that happened.
 
I could have sworn they had more Macca leaves that just the 1 they had.  In general I think more buffs need to be used:  increase whole party defence, decrease enemy attack etc.

Aww man that's a bummer, as soon as Charlie wasn't at full health I knew the horror that was to come. You guys handled the battle well though, just that Charlie didn't have enough health.

It looks like you guys just need to grind a few extra levels to be able to survive just that tiny bit longer.

Entertaining to watch, 1 or 2 more levels should be more than enough for you to beat this boss, remember that Charlie has Diarahan, safety first!

OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!  Level up a bit... 2-3 levels should be fine, and you'll make it the next time. 
 
Chie should Tarukaja whoever has the powered-up magic skill. You'll work down the bosse's HP quicker with the attack boost. Tarukaja+Mind Charge+atmosphere change = Massive damage.

Heal all items yes,  but levelling up is more important.  At least you know the pattern he uses now as well.

Jeff's "what?" at the end of the cutscene was perfect.
