The enemy advantage image does not bode well for the episode. Lets hope they didn't die again. *obligatory future joke here*

@NoDeath: Just assume they will in every episode. It's that much better when they do occasionally survive.

I'm going to remain optimistic. If the Endurance Run has proven anything, luck has definitely been on their side.

...Outside of Void Quest, anyway.

Starting with a tall, frosty can of 7-up?

Well, now they can't lose. Good strategy, J & V! Promises to be a refreshing episode!

Guys, since Chie's persona no longer has a weakness, you can equip her with a decent accessory besides a fire suppressor. Don't get me wrong, being able to evade a certain type of spell is useful, but only if you really focus on what spells keep being used during a dungeon, or if you know what spells a boss will use on you.

Without spoiling anything, if you've got anything that resists fear, it might be useful...

*edit* I stand corrected, hadn't seen that bit where they changed her stuff, but still.

@Jon93: It seems that they have. That's a bit embarrassing; a great deal of yesterday's comments were.. I don't know the word for it, but the vibe isn't going in a good direction.

*Hey Jeff and Vinny: Thanks for always making these. Sorry that the backseat driving has gotten out of hand. My favorite parts of the game are about to start, so I look foward to seeing your reactions to them.

The jump-in damage is actually Almighty damage, not Physical. That's why some are strong/weak to it. (very few enemies in the game are strong against Almighty, though)

Some enemies are also weak/resistant to status ailments; that's why Tentarafoo isn't doing so hot on the babies. On enemies that are weak to status ailments, it'll hit 90%-100% of the time.

Good job guys,, prepare to be sodomized if you go upstairs :) 

Should probably level downstairs a bit, even if to just raise money to pay fox.  And try to get Yukiko to get mediarama (You'll need it)

You are actually using mind charge wrongly.


You don't do double damage doing mind charge + spell its the same as casting the spell twice

Its most usefull on heavy scripted boss fight.

Void quest is when badluck hits everyone in Persona 4. I'm pretty certain it's everyone's least favorite dungeon. You'd think it'd be the coolest with the oldschool RPG theme but it breaks your balls every step of the way.
... I guess it's spot on then.

Yeah. In contrast, the dungeon after this one was pleasant. Especially the music; from here until the endgame, the dungeon soundtrack is wonderful piano tracks. Some of the music in these Persona games is weird, but the piano stuff is awesome.

thats wrong, you do about 2.5 of the original damage, otherwise you could just cast it twice.

Jeff's right, whatever Persona is in at the end gets the EXP.

So you can fight 95% of a battle with one Persona, then switch in the one you want to level up on your last turn.

You guys should use some of your offensive items if you know what the enemy is weak against and that character doesn't have that element. Like throwing a fire item with Yoskue.

CAST TENTARAFOO!  NO STOP CASTING TENTARAFOO!  Seriously, make up your mind people

Anyways, guys, you'll learn sooner or later that it really is a good idea to just accept any persona you find through Shuffle Time if you have open slots.  This is the only way you'll have enough for fusing purposes without having to pull more out of the compendium (which you don't want to do for yen related reasons).  Furthermore, since the arcana cards only appear after you started a shuffle time, it's in your best interests to do it everytime (unless of course there are 6 penalty cards on the screen or something.)

Nice, you guys played really well this episode.  No major goofs made or anything causing me to make strange noises of frustration and shuffle awkwardly in my chair (like last episode :P).  Keep it up!

@funcmode said:
"awesome episode - even though it was just fighting. I think the main reason I really enjoy the ER is because of the stuff you two talk about. All the random references like pushing the Hitler painting, and "You can't see this!" just crack me up, not to mention what ever the hell Vinny was going on about right at the end. 

I really don't look forward to the day this will eventually end, it sounds so stupid but this is an awesome and consistent thing to have to look forward to at the end of each day, max respect to the GB crew for keeping it going this long.

Hooray for endurance run goodness!

and to Jeff and Vinny, regarding your question over some enemies not taking much damage from the rush move, the rush doesnt count as physical damage, i think it counts as Almighty damage which is why the hand isnt strong against the rush

You guys need to get some Megido action on one of your Personas for Charlie. Or whatever the stronger 'Almighty' spell is called. It'll do like 350 damage on those gold hand monsters and rarely miss.

Also don't forget you've got Firecrackers and Ice Cubes and what not that can do elemental damage for someone like Yosuke that doesn't get any fire or ice attacks.

I'm still enjoying the Endurance Run, good luck guys!

@evilpaul: Unless Charlie has a Chakra ring on or the persona has Magic Master (halves SP costs), almighty spells aren't worth their extremely high SP costs.  Their damage have taken a serious hit compared to the beasts they were in P3.
