I would keep Pazuzu since he learns Cool Breeze which restores 8% of your SP at the end of the battle if you have the persona with that ability equipped. Or you could try and get Spirit Drain.
It's not too hard to get another persona to inherit Cool Breeze. And the end of my game I had about 6 personae in my party with Cool Breeze, all were one's that I was using.

Holy shit, does Black Spot have a 50% crit chance or something?  Or is Chie wearing some crit-buffing equipment?

You guys should start doing Margaret's S.Link. Print out a guide to see what you need to fuse (you'll need one), and go to town. The best thing about it is completing her requests won't  even "spend time," so you can potentially get up to level 6 or 7 and still hang out with Yukiko/Rise the same day.

@GioVANNI: Probably the keigo. Both of the main girls are a bit crazy, but Yukiko is the "polite and formal" type. Since Chie always says what's on her mind, she's maybe easier to relate to? Plus, kicking tanks.
Weird trend: Somewhere around 20 people have each done their own "live playthrough" of P4 on NicoNico (basically the same type of first-time play as the Endurance Run). Most of the guys ended up maxing Chie first. The girls went straight for Yukiko.

I don't get their problem with Rise. I thought she was the best character of the main cast.

Either way, looking forward to tomorrow and the class trip.

"Aha! Is this our chance?" I lol everytime Chie says this

I agree with Vinny, it's only bad because most of the voiceovers in this game are pretty good. Good episode today, can't wait for tomorrow's.

Pity they didn't get to level 47 and fure rangda, the forecast slink bonus would give him all of his awesome skills instantly. Without it he would still be a few levels behind getting repel physical.

This, and next time make sure you guys get to the class tip on TUESDAY.

That's because Jeff and vinny are not 14 years old they don't base everything on physical appreance. They actually base it on personality, look they chose Chie as their favourite it says alot. :P

See the guide for Margaret's requests.  It just requires a little time and a lot of fusing and some money (if you pull them out)  There is also the list of personas to get to certain levels (use them occasionally in battle if you wish to get this social link). 

Hope the power doesn't go out for episode 100!  Maybe the UPS should be hooked up!  Another behind the scenes video?

Are you saying that it wasn't a sign, sir?  Because, and I'm speaking for myself here, if I had a dream where this girl I liked was hardcore wrestling with me and I had some inkling that it would be something she's totally into, I'd fucking propose to her the next day.  That's called a keeper.

 Love the Endurance Run !!!   FYI even though this is still far away you should increase knowledge and understanding to start the Naoto social link. 

If you want to complete Dojima or Nanoko S. links you should do it as soon as you can for they will be cut off in a few months ahead.  

Also Rise is definetly a social link you want to complete. Out of the team I suggest finishing Kanji last for I found him the easiest in the end time.

 In the end you get some extra scenes from the people that have rank 10 social links that are fun to read and watch. If you do the true ending that is.

Isn't this over yet?  What is there left to do?  Watching you walk around talking to people and doing ham-fisted fusions is pretty boring.

If the game is over, turn it off and move on to something else.  Preferably something not from the Megami series.

How about an older game like Phantasy Star II, Dragon Quest VIII, or Wild Arms 3.

@DukeTogo: Sorry, bro, there's at least 60 more episodes before they can finally close the books on the Endurance Run.

And, as much as I love older stuff like Wild Arms 3, I'd put the kibosh on an endurance run with no voice acting. Huge cut scenes would be like pulling teeth after a while, even if the writing is excellent.

Dude, not only can I not believe I've watched 99 hours of these as an avid JRPG hater, but I absolutely cannot believe that I bought and am extremely close to finishing Persona 3 now as a result of the Endurance Run.

I like how people think that people can just pick random JRPG and make an Endurance Run out of it, because within the first 2 or 3 hours , people will start to find flaws in it , random battles, unrelatable characters, no strategic depth in battles, garbage story. Persona 4 is an RPG perfection , japanese or otherwise.  People who consider of putting Wild Arms in the same level of prowess with Persona 4 simply have no idea of what they're talking about. The day of raising a fucking golden Chocobo by stealing some rare coconut from some rare goblin on a secluded island to get into a secluded cave to get a spell with 9999 damage is over, face it.

I maxed Chie and Yukiko in my first game, but I "friend zoned" both of them and ended up romantically with Rise, Ai, and Yumi (the drama girl.)  Part of it was I felt bad turning down girls who didn't have an easy path to steer them towards friends, like Chie and Yukiko have.  And part of it, well, I thought Yukiko and Chie made a better couple for each other anyway.  =)

They have reached about 60% of the game only until now (if they decide to choose "full" ending path).
