Actually, it's pretty horrible.  What do you mean?  The only thing rushing does is it makes turns go extra fast and it makes the characters only use their weapons.  And doing that against the final boss, Izanami, is suicide. "

I might've begun the battle using the Rush command. When it became Yukiko's turn (and my party was hurt pretty bad) I'd always stop it and heal.   Heck, I even had an accessory that gives you all your health back if your HP reaches 0 and the boss never killed me. I salute this 'accidental' rush command. I also kind of wish they'd use it more often... "

CLIFFHAAANGER!!

LOL nice triangle in the boss fight.   
The battle remix was just a bit overdue. :D 
 
... Oh man what a cliffhanger!

Rise: LOOK OUT! We've never seen anything like her!

Vinnie: NO-SHIT!

Thank you, that made my day and is easily one of the funniest reactions in the entire Endurance Run.

" Lucifer, for lvl 93 starter from a Hex spread, was pretty damn disappointing. He was strong and all, but didn't really bring anything unique to the table. "

Endurance Run should be put away till Persona 5 comes out. There is nothing else that can do it justice.

" @EmperorSeth:   The problem with the final boss music is that the build up is about 5 minutes long, with the fanfare remix only being about 1. That makes for a pretty quiet fight... "

" Dunno if someone mentioned this before but..  It's a waste of a turn to cast Tarukaja on Chie, because it expires in the 2 of her other turns. Matarukaja would be a better deal if you had the MC casting it.  Summons to Yomi auto kills anyone with a status ailment. "

Man this really does feel like the end :( I'm going to miss this, but we had some great memories. I've kept up with every episode along the way. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Persona 4 was a perfect game for the Endurance Run's debut (155 episodes!!!). Man, good times.

This really does feel like the end. :( I'm going to miss this. But I'm also really glad it's ending. It shows Vinny and Jeff have enough competence to complete what they set out to do (sort of). Ok they exceeded what they set out to do. Persona 4 was a perfect game for Endurance Run's debut (155 episodes!!!). Man good times. There were a lot of good memories and countless hilarious moments. It felt like I was right there with you guys. 
 
I really liked the music playing during Izanami's first form. One of my favourites. :)

I've been listening to this fucking theme for a few hours now. It's hard to believe that the Endurance Run is almost over, and it's hard to believe I actually have watched 154 episodes and over 98 hours of it. It's so well worth it though, and I'm actually pretty sad that Persona 4 is coming to an end. 
 
Here's to the end of the Persona 4 Endurance Run and whatever will come next.

Oh jeez, loved this episode, can't wait for the conclusion. Feel most of what I could say has already been said enough times, although hitting triangle was too good; typical of this run.
 
I support a P3 Endurance Run wholeheartedly, even if it takes you longer than this one. There may be a lot of people against the idea, and the plot of this game, I admit, may have gotten a little convoluted towards the end, but there really isn't any other game I could see working this well as an 'Endurance Run'. You could play through other games, but unless it was an RPG it would lose the endurance feeling, and unless it was a Persona game I doubt the script would keep people all that entertained. 
 
In either case, whatever happens, thanks for everything. Should really save this for tonights episode, but it's been a great year all the same and words couldn't describe just how great it's felt following along. Cheers. :)

The remix was really cool, and damn a cliff hanger and a half can't wait.

If you've watched Endurance Run since it began (which I haven't but I'm still in the process of catching up), then by the end of this year, you'll have spent 1% of the year watching Endurance Run (and Jeff & Vinny have will have spent 1% of the year playing it...!) (90+hrs / [24hrs * 365days])

My problem is not that it's "quiet" for so long.  It's that it basically builds up to the awesome remix of Reach Out To The Truth for no reason.  What I mean is that the music is threatening and grand for a long while, fitting the enemy you're up against very nicely.  But then it can lead up to that remix, that is basically filled with hope and makes one feel that victory's right around the corner, even if you're badly losing!  The developers should have made it in a way that the remix only kicks in when you are actually about to win and not be heard right in the beginning of the fight.

Rushing Izanami. Truly the best battle in the entirety of the Endurance Run.

Runner up for this ep:Forgetting the set damage items when they were up against the 100HP robot(thus making the battle take several turns instead of one). I know you never use them, but surely you remember they exist, right? I mean, you keep picking them up!

That would be a pain in the neck to code/program, a huge pain.. but I can't help but agree with you 100%. This is just an assumption, but I feel that they probably would have loved to do that, but were approaching this game the "japanimation" way -- that is, saving money and time wherever possible, because the biggest portion of the developers' budget goes to the voice cast. You've already probably thought of this, but a great solution would have been to have two music tracks -- load and buffer both at the beginning of the fight, and play the first until Izanami's at 1/3 health, then crossfade into the second.

Bah, i've started down a path of watching the episodes in reverse order :P HELP!!

Susano-O looks like Bozo, seriously.

I can't believe it's come so far. This is great.

That...that was so goddamn intense at the end.

" @AlKusanagi: Fight Margaret. I DARE you to say the same thing after. I just beat her. "

noooooo its over /cry now i have to try to find another endurance run

It's nice to rewatch their final fight from time to time, they really did learn a lot in all those months they spent playing the game.

Good video!

This is my second time around. Still as good as the first time.

I was watching this while eating dinner, and when Vinny accidentally rushed, I threw my knife across the room. Woops! :/

"LOOK OUT! WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE HER!!! 

"Yea, No. Shit" 
 
Love Vinny.

The end of this game is near. 

Crazy ass epic music. 

"Don't hit triangle" lol

I love all the boss battle tunes in this game: the general one, Namatame and Adachi's, Ameno-Sagiri's, and the two here. As you go through the game it keeps getting more and more epic, although I agree with the complaints about the final boss music.
 
But my PS2 is so old and busted that the music cuts out every now and then, and it really sucks when it does it for the final boss. It also makes it a bitch for anything to load in P3.
 
EDIT: nooooooooo, cliffhanger!

God it drives me nuts how Naoto just recaps EVERYthing after she joins the party. It's so unnecessary. 
Still! I love me some P4 and I looooove me some Endurance Run.

The final boss music is awesome, I can't believe anyone disliked it.

I headbanged through the entire final battle.
 
EDIT: It's funny how Vinny says "Nanako!" at 54:00-ish. Izanami and Nanako = same voice actress.

I love jrpgs but I've always had a problem with the way they get all pretentious towards the end, its always about saving the world.

Lol at rushing the final boss.

it was funny when Vinny rushed...  this ER has definately been a blast

Rewatching. Started about a month ago or so. 
 
Fucking great run, guys.  
 
Shit never gets old.
