Very surprised they went with "Fight Back" over "Protect Her"....seemed like a no-brainer in terms of how to win a girl's affection, but whatever....at least they were quicker in figuring out that they blew it w/Naoto for the rest of the game.    
 
What would be really cool is if the designers allowed second chances.

Why did tomorrow's episode have to fall on a Friday? Especially since it could potentially be the last episode.

No, they can max it as normal; they just get permanently friend zoned.  Actually, something similar can happen to Ai, but they're MUCH sneakier about it.

@FluxWaveZ: look dude enough with your shit , trying to act like a fucking mod , you aint no better than them the way you present yourself in the comments , they're just obviously worried  that tommorow will be fatal , you cant blame them if they havent played the game, but if you got any brains you know that they are going to stop at the certain point and say "tune in on monday", or hell i wouldnt put it past them that  they might figure it out because for all the worrys about them with the ending ,all it  requires is some logic 2 continue the game  and they proved it in this episode that they have logic needed to make the right choice.. the biggest sign that they will be fine is that they are not invested in the game

You know Charlie should've told the doctor that he knows the cure for Nanako's illness.  Then he pulls out a refreshing Amirita Soda and the Dojimas go home happy.  Though I suppose technically their status is Down.  Good run guys.  Can't wait to see how endgame goes so good luck.

I love how they stood Naoto next to Kanji, as if you couldn't tell how much of a dork she is without standing her next to the coolest guy in the game

We all know they're gonna go with Chie for the X'mas date, but the sausage-fest one would be funnier (although Rise's present is the best of the bunch in my opinion).

Vinny needs to be more diligent while leveling his diligence up. Anyway if it's true that they missed the chance for Naoto to be a GF at least Charlie won't be told to get bent by Kanji for dating Naoto.  You got Rise though and she seems to be the most canon love intrest, since she is the only one who shows any romantic intrest in the MC, outside the S-link events.

So...?  I'm saying that this subject has been discussed in the comments too much and there's nothing to take from it.  And what makes you think that I'm trying to act like a mod?  Stopping all the clutter from these comments?  I think you're the one who should act reasonably.

I'm saying that this has already been discussed enough in the video comments and it results to nothing but argument.  If one desperately wants to talk about this, they should go to the Persona 4 forums where there are a ton of threads that discuss/argue the same exact thing.  The video comment section should be used for that.  For COMMENTS ON THE VIDEO.

I will not spoil anything, but I will give a little hint to the giantbomb guys: You should begin to wrap up whatever social links you are close to finishing now (Rise, Yumi, and hopefully Kanji). You will not get many chances to S. Link after the next event.

@TRega123: That really only applies to the Investigation team S.Links.  Drama Girl, Sports Team,etc, are all unaffected.  Kanji is also at lv 9 iirc, with only one meet left needed to max him.  Naoto probably is not going to hit lv 10 by the end of the game, though I don't think most of use care too much anymore now that there won't be an epic hug at the end of it.

I hope they intentionally get the bad ending, then don't post any videos for a week to fuck with the commenters, then reload and go for the true ending after that break.

@AnimZero: Eh, while it'd be a good idea, even if they don't save on that day, nothing is really lost.  They saved right before the exam, so all that'll happen is spending that 5 extra minutes going through it.

After playing through and watching all of the endings, I think I felt more emotionally compelled by the bad ending than I did the good or normal. I just felt like the latter two endings were sort of cookie-cutter "everything is fine with the world", while the bad ending made me actually think about how I would feel in certain characters' situations.
 
Regardless of whatever they choose to do, I still "like" the really bad ending the best, in the sense of emotional investment.

A FAQ free blind final ER would be the giantest bomb of all. And I mean that in a good way, like in the mid-late 90s kinda da bomb.

I watched the bad, good, and normal endings on YouTube the other day. The bad one was interesting but went on forever, the normal one was absolutely hilarious and Kanji had so many good lines, and the good one was just the typical good ending you'd expect. I couldn't tell if the stuff in the normal ending is contained in the good ending, but if it isn't, I say they go for the normal ending.
 
They'd appreciate the normal ending so much more. It's so funny. Kanji is awesome.

Oh come on Jeff and Vinny. Go rewatch the Endurance Run episode where you go into the TV for the first time. It will shed some light on why everyone thinks this fog is poisonous.

What's the difference between protecting and fighting back in the first place? You can't have one without the other.

I don't know how to feel about the Naoto decision. On the one hand, I'm glad Kanji will now get his chance with her, as guy has been crushin' on her hard since forever. On the other, Charlie got goddamn friend-zoned, man.
 
That's just uncool. He's Charlie friggin' Tunoku.

Incredible Crisis is a hot candidate right now. Less potential for spoilers and bitching and not nearly as long.
