If it wasn't for the endurance run I wouldn't have a clue about the game or even the others, and after enjoying the endurance run I went and bought the game by the 20th episode. So if it was the Endurance Run that made you purchase Persona 4, or any Persona game, sign here!!

Signed! Didn't give a crap about endurance run . . . But after watching the first episode on a boring saturday. . . I was hooked! 

Signed, Giant Bomb is good advertising for Atlus

Signed. Never heard of Persona, nor Shin Megami Tensei. To be fair, Scotland/UK don't get many NTSC/J releases. Plus, I had moved on a whole console generation. I was looking in the wrong direction entirely!

Played Persona 3 FES. Didnt bother playing P4, I can just watch it here :)

@FluxWaveZ:

yeah sorry bout that, just thought I would make another just to show how many others there are, incase know one had seen it.

Half sign... the endurance run made me return to the game after quitting due to a Kanji boss frustration... lol

Did anyone do that poll yet that asked if people had played or beaten P4 before the ER began? FluxWaveZ, I nominate you.

Since mine broke, I'm hoping to get someones PS2 very soon., and as soon as I do Persona 3 and 4 are goign straight on my Amazon basket. £9.77 for P£ FES at them moment, Bargain!

Not Signed, I loved SMT and Persona before ER.

yup and Persona 3

It should arrive tomorrow.
 
80+ hours of entertainment so far... and they fuse sometimes too. 

I only recently found out about the endurance run and this game, after just a few episodes I ordered the game. Now I'm waiting wait the rest of the run till I finish the game myself.

"as in DO we need another one of these threads "

yes, we do. Definitely. "

Signed in a sense...I've only seen a couple of ER episodes but I liked the game in the videos enough to pick up P3 FES then P4 and finally SMT DDS, DDS2 and Nocturne.  For me, the ER served more as a Quick Look than what it was meant to be.

Since someone dug up the topic I'll sign it too.
I went to the shop to buy a game for my DSi (so that I actually have A game for that thing) and I saw P4 and bought that instead. 2 months later and the DSi is still lonely.

Negative.
Made me consider it though

I would buy it if I didn't go to Wikipedia and read the whole story. No point in getting it now.

Yes it did, I think this seems to be the case for a lot of people here. I mean I don't see this becoming the most game forum on the site without the existence of the Endurance Run.

it made me get P3...

i dont own it yet, but I SWEAR I WILL AS SOON AS I GO 2 MY COUNTRY HOUSE (its where my ps2's at)

It convinced me to purchase a PS2, P3 and P4.

before the ER i've been contemplating whether i should get it or not. after watching the first few eps. i ended up getting it.

Yes, I've decided to purchase Persona 4 a little after they beat Yukiko's Castle. Since then I've beat it, lapped them, and now I'm about 10 hours into Persona 3: FES. After I beat Persona 3: FES I'm going to have to take a pretty long break until I even consider playing one of them again because I'm sure by that time I'll be severely burnt from the series.. Or I'll just wait for the inevitable Persona 5.

No, but i'd buy persona 5 for ps3 if it came out. Theres no way i'd do that if i hadn't seen the endurance run.

Yes. I bought another PS2 (because I had sold my old one just 2 months before the ER started) and P4 all because of the Endurance Run.

*Signs*

this shoulda been a poll

Well I never actually saw it, so...maybe i have different settings as mine is set to newest to latest?

Signed.
Played the original Persona on the original PlayStation, but never finished it.  Saw them playing Persona 3 on On The Spot, and was put off by the whole shooting yourself in the head to summon Personae thing, but the Endurance Run sealed the deal on 4. 

Too bad I already owned it and wasn't able to follow along with the Endurance Run.

It made me buy it, also made me buy a PS2 so i could play it.

Signed, and still playing, 140 hours later.

i am running P3 on my Laptop right now.  it works great.

I actually bought my copy of P4 a few months ago before the ER, then I bought P3 after I finished P4. But the ER was one of the main reasons why I visit GB in the first place since I wanted to see how Jeff and Vinny did. Either way though, I would have bought P4.
