Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 13

ROFL where is your stylish money? I will judge you!

Funky Student is amazing.  Unfortunately, the video keeps stopping right after him.

ROFL! Funky student is the shitzzz!!!

Whoah son!

the video aint workin no more

 Funky Student is amazing

Ah, you guys put a smile to my face.

 I solved that quiz instantly, but I guess Vinny and Jeff don't really know anything about color saturation or brightness (the second group being the one with less of either one of those). Can't blame them, but every time Vinny moved the cursor to "B" the right side of my brain screamed a little ;)

I think it's because red and green are opposites, blue and orange are opposites, so black would be opposite white, so it should be group A.

Excuse me, funky student, I speak Jive. 

i still really love these. so funny. I need to play the game though...

FUNKY STUDENT!

Ryan "Let's not join the Drama Club." but don't they join it?

from what I remember they did what I did when joining a culture club: saw what the band girl looked like and steered well clear of... it.

8:30-9:40 mins is THE BEST

@Duffyside How can I keep watching P4: ER now?

... Fine.

Here's the hottest girl in the game.

I'm watching all of this again and then saw the thumbnail of Funky Student. I totally forgot about him! :L

Vinny's reaction when noticing Funky Student for the first time is absolutely priceless.

"This is where the real Persona 4 begins"

:)

Having played the game, and watching this now for a second time, I'm reminded of how this is not only one of the best games ever for the gameplay, story, design style, but also some fantastic music.

@thiago123: I'm currently playing it right now, then watching this as I pass each area. So far, my only complaint is the music. Too many repeated tracks, and I've grinded so much in Yukiko Castle that I may go insane if I hear that dungeon music again...That, and that you can't buy SP potions. I think it's kind of dumb that sometimes dungeons are more of a test to conserve magic then health

Are you playing the PS2 version or Golden on Vita? What difficulty are you playing it on? Are you just grinding because you don't want to go past what you've watched in the endurance run?

I beat the game without ever really feeling the need to "grind." I ran through each dungeon twice, once for the story and once again when the second boss came in for each character's weapon. That was enough to level up enough to beat the game on Normal or the next step up (I forget which difficulty I played it on) without too many problems (maybe redoing a few boss fights). If you keep playing, you get enough items and spells to where SP won't be that much of a problem if you manage your tactics and links right. It could be that it was tough in the early game only. Also, I did play Golden which I think was more generous with Shuffle Time bonuses, I pretty much always went for SP if there was no new Persona.

As for the music, I guess we have different opinions (yours is wrong! j/k). Yes it's kind of silly JPop but man is it catchy. Maybe it's because you are grinding too much. Even the best music will turn bad if you listen to it non-stop.

@thiago123: I'm on the original PS2 version, mostly since I don't own a Vita. I'm also on Normal difficulty, and the reason I grinded so much was because I felt severely under-leveled. I was about lv 10 when I beat the Yukiko Castle boss (this was while I fought every enemy I saw and fully explored each map), but I just barely beat her while literally on the edge of death. So, I grinded until lv 15. Came back afterward to get the weapon, by this time around 17 or so, and got slaughtered by that boss; still haven't beat him. As for the endurance run, I'm staying about one month (in-game) or so behind, so I'm at the Kanji portion right now. In the Bathhouse level, SP is more important than ever, as most of the enemies have massive physical defense. The actual leveling and battles are great, but the thought that I may have to dump half of my money just refill SP for the boss is daunting in itself. Obviously, I think this game is still great, and I'm going to stick with it, but this doesn't strike me as a game that benefits from any high difficulty points

Doing the same thing myself, now. Only wish I had more time to play so I could watch more of these videos!

Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 14

Funky student's riddle was not very funky.

Per the Gamespot FAQs:

There's 3 songs that play after school.

Your Affection, which plays on sunny day. Lyrics here. ,

Heartbeat, Heartbreak, which plays on cloudy days. Lyrics here.

And Snowflakes for January and February.

And it was on this day ten years ago that this site was introduced to funky student. Glad I could be here to pay my respects.

I wonder if Funky Student is now running Funky Barn.

I wish you can add Funky Student to your party, I really want to see what his persona would be.

Re-watched this episode maybe the 4th time. I can't wait to hear Vinny and Jeff's kids in 15 years when they can riff rapid fire jokes like during the funky student scene.
