Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 80

In this last episode before our E3 break, we get Social Links out the wazoo.

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?

@ahoodedfigure: Yes, they forgot to register anything. Luckily, they didn't fuse anything (so far, I'm still watching the video). Never mind, they fused something, but those Persona were probably already registered since they looked like they came straight from Shuffle Time.

They can get a Ghoul in Shuffle Time, but they need to go back to wherever he was found before.

Friendly's is like a Dairy Queen, but it also serves breakfast. I had another friend not know what one was, and I did a quick search and the farthest West the franchise goes is Ohio. Meanwhile, there's a Friendly's in practically every town in New York. Good stuff.

I know you guy will never remember this after E3 but if you fuse both Izanagi and Saki Mitama (you have both) you will get Ghoul

(Hierophant) Omoikane x (Empress) Senri=ghoul also when you guys are switching teams to the b team you should have yosku in instead of yukiko, then use pyro jack and you can use invigorate all the time and you don't have to switch to other persona's very much

I'm not sure where you guys heard that you can't hang out with someone without a persona of the right Arcana, because you can. You should've hung out with Rise before fusing Undine, so that it would gain extra EXP. Also, you might want to, you know... continue looking for Mitsuo soon... you only have a couple of days left... literally. You don't want to know what happens when you run out of time... o_O
Hope this helps. :3

Strength: physical damage
Magic: magic damage
Endurance: damage mitigation (all types)
Agility: initiative/hit/evasion
Luck: crit rating (physical skills)

IIRC spells aren't capable of critical hits.  Also, weapon damage only affects normal attacks and All-Out attacks.  A Persona's Strength stat determines the power of special Physicals.

I believe the Luck stat effects  personas doing critical hits, and evading attacks.

This has been said a couple times before in the comments, but here it is once more to stress it:

THERES NO NEED TO HAVE A CARD TO HANG OUT WITH SOMEONE!

As someone pointed out, you want to do the opposite so you gain more power when fusing. The rate of S.Link ranks is also relative, so it takes longer to reach higher rank levels than lower ones. Enjoy E3 everybody!

Whoa whoa whoa, let's be clear here. Having a persona of the same arcana when hanging out with someone will cause their S. Link to level up faster. Fusing that Lovers persona was a perfectly reasonable decision. Sure, at level 1 it hardly matters, but they have the right idea AND they got a new persona.

The "helping the girl speak better quest" can only be done in school. Because it is summer break, it is not possible to do.

You guys should really save visiting the fox for rainy days when possible. He's the only S. Link available on those days, you're better off hanging out with someone else on sunny days.

The cicada noises in Persona make it feel an awful lot like summer time in Animal Crossing.

Quick, someone make an objects page right away!

...or maybe a concepts page?  Regardless dude, POINTS!

Also, when you QUOTE someones SPOILER, you are only doubling the chances of someone reading it.

I thought this last episode before E3 should be a long one but I had a feeling it would be a short 15 minute "filler" episode just because the GB crew probably has a lot going on right now. Obviously I was wrong, so I'm happy.

You can put that model you built on your lonely shelf.

Because your shelf needs company when you're out linking with people and jumping into TV's and whatever you kids do these days

It's sad how you're almost adamant on avoiding Kanji as a Social Link.

I'm sure you actually can visit dudes even when they aren't part of your Deck. The Soc. Link mostly just give you Bonus XP when you make a persona of that Arcana, as far as I see.

I remember Jeff giving Tomb Raider 2 a score of  5.7.  So very harsh, even though it's true the original was a much better game.

Yes, you can spend time with your S.Links when you don't have a matching persona. However, you will earn less points towards the next rank. This results in you having to spend time with your S.Links when nothing happens ("your relationship will grow stronger soon").


Anyway, kind of awesome to hear the original Japanese voice acting there at the bit with the commotion in the hospital. Kind of werid at the same time; I wonder why they left that in there.

You  guys really should have spent that rainy day in the TV instead of in the Meat Dimension. :( Every rainy day spent not going in the TV turns into a perfectly good sunny day spent in the TV instead. Seriously, there is so little to do when it's raining that if you have a dungeon in progress, GO WORK ON IT! If not, then turn in fox quest, and if you don't even have that to do, then, and only then, go to the beef bowl place. Stat ups are nice and all, but you're really better off spending time turning in quests and going in the TV so that those things aren't eating up otherwise productive(aka sunny) days.
