Vinny and Jeff sit down and take a crack at the latest game in the Shin Megami Tensei series. Will they make it through the entire game?

You guys know you can release Personas. On the menu where you look at your current personas (not in the Velvet room) you can hit 'Triangle' to dismiss a persona. That way you don't have to fuse to get certain types, you can just pull them from the velvet room.

LOL 1:17 my controller used to do that sometimes when I was playing P4, I thought I was special but maybe it's a weird bug in the game.

Seems like Charlie gets his groove on when trying to burn stuff... Or maybe it's Naoto... 
 
he should really put that thing away or the cencors will have a fit. Also, i can dig a girl who isn't affraid of a penis out in the open.

I don't think they noticed that Belphegor was sitting on a toilet.
 
Jeff is right., the art book has some pretty big spoilers.  I regret looking at it before finishing the game.

It pains me to see you ignoring all the useful things you can be doing on a rainy day(s-linking with Sun girl or Naoto, fishing) to eat at the beef bowl place(which is really meant to be done early in the game, not when you have all but one of your important characteristics(diligence isn't important. At all.) maxed). As does seeing you whine about money sinks when you refuse to sell off the sea of old/useless equipment you have.

Guys, you don't need to have a Persona in to do an S. Link, having them only gives you a boost to the S. Link and cause it to level up faster. It's another management aspect of the game, you can completely ignore that facet of the game if it annoys you.  And really, you think the Compendium should be free? Do you even realize how absurdly abuseable that would be? 
 
I like you guys, but this episode had some really really stupid complaints all of a sudden.

It was a Friday, there's no Sun link available on that day. And Naoto isn't available on rainy days. There wasn't anything else they could do aside from fishing (which is pointless and doesn't rank up anything) or wasting time with the capsule machine.

@KuwabaraTheMan:  Actually Naoto is available on rainy days. Not all rainy days, but she is one of the few S. Links that you can still hang out with then.
 
And also fishing would be more productive than going to Aiya or doing nothing, since they could at least try to catch a Red Goldfish to level up the Hermit S. Link. I don't expect them to actually do that though. Also the Capsule Machine can get them Chest Keys, which they really need badly right now.

@atomic_dumpling: Well... not really.  They said they both wanted to play through P4 but would never have enough time at home.  So they shoehorned P4 into their workweek and put up the videos to see what the response would be.  They're as shocked as anyone that Endurance Run has become so popular.  I'm sure a Giant Bomb scholar could cite which bombcast this was all discussed in...

It was the one after Episode 50, they answered a Persona related question in the FAQ segment. They also said that it was probably not the best idea to play this game (well, any game) publicly.

Forget the 'sheesh' count. Now we have the 'whatever' count. 
 
Ah, I worried this would happen. Here's hoping once the plot picks up again, things'll go back to the fun way they used to be. Don't get me wrong, episode was still hilarious (I think these guys could be funny no matter what the circumstance), but I hope that fun little spark returns soon.

Really? Huh. I never noticed anytime when I played. I think they've pretty much given up on fishing. Plus, someone told them that you can only catch it on sunny days (which is wrong...a commenter was wrong again, surprise, surprise), so they probably wouldn't even bother trying on a rainy day.
 
At least they got an Understanding boost by going to Aiya. It's not the best use of their time (and I doubt they even start Tower), but it's better than nothing. I doubt they would ever touch the capsule machine after their traumatic first experience with it.

In Persona 3, some Personas couldn't inherit certain skills - Personas weak to Zio, for instance, can't inherit Lightning offensive spells. I'm glad to see that Persona 4 got rid of that dumb rule.

What's the deal with Yukiko?  They're rank 10 with her, but she still has an exclamation point over her head.  I keep thinking they will talk to her, but every time they just pass her by.  I'm dying to know!  Is this the super-secret rank 11 S. link?!  The one where she lets you... you know... do THAT?

I'm actually laughing at all of the condescending idiots in the comments at this point.
 
You guys don't realize that maybe the reason that they're sick of the game is because you're overblowing their minds with useless shit instead of letting them PLAY THE GAME. "You need to do this, why aren't you doing this" gets REALLY OLD, REALLY FAST.

Actually, this is kind of an akward phase of the game. The game just sort of kills the momentum of the story for a "wrap your shit up" phase. It's hard to care about the social links when they're so out of context from the main story.

@CH3BURASHKA:  Actually that wasn't true in Persona 3 either. Inheritance capabilities are determined by the Persona's inherent type, which isn't actually shown in the game. You can often get a good idea of their type based on the skills they learn and their resistances and weakness (a persona who learns a lot of wind skills, resists wind, and is weak to lightning is most likely a Wind Persona, but that's not a guarantee). Weaknesses themselves really have nothing to do with it, but a wind type Persona will never learn a lightning spell, or physical types will never learn elemental magic, for example.
 
I actually really wish they'd increase the fusion restrictions. As of now Persona's can already inherit too many skills, which takes away the uniqueness of each Persona. They're barely more than empty shells that you throw skills you like onto and use them until you can transfer those skills to a stronger Persona. It also leads too WAY too much useless "noise" when fusing Persona's, so you have to spend forever reshuffling skills to get what you want. (Of course that could be solved by just letting you pick some skills you want to inherit.)
