I dunno, they've been using the guidance of the community since the first dungeon, and even Jeff has already given up on quiz questions and is using a FAQ for those.Haven't seen P4's bad ending, but the P3 bad ending is a little depressing, as short as it is, mostly because of the complete about-face all the character's make in their outlook on life.  The sky didn't come falling down like I had hoped it would, though. "

Well, it is pretty depressing. While the Persona 3 ending is basically the main characters giving up all hope, the Persona 4 ending is them failing and seeing the people close to them suffer for it.That's as well as I can describe it without completely spoiling it.So if they end on a bad ending it will leave a bad taste in all of our mouths. Getting the Normal ending would be nice. Getting the True Ending would end it spectacularly... But we're hardly at that point. We'll burn that bridge when we cross it (is it how that goes) likely. "

We could burn the metaphorical bridge after we cross it, but it would be best to, when we come across such a bridge, determine how to cross it.  But until that happens, we don't need to worry about it. (I don't know how that analogy goes, haha)(P3 sort-of spoilers to the right) What's sad about P3's ending is how you go against the wishes of your friends, only to turn them into clueless, less-motivated versions of themselves.  And then do karaoke! "

I'm very surprised at you all.

True Ending= More Endurance Run to enjoy

Simple as that.

To get the true ending, theyd have to spoil it for themselves.

As much as I enjoy this Endurance Run, I feel they need to move onto another game sooner than later.  I mean, there's going to be another Endurance Run, right?

Well I sent a PM a few days ago explaining how to avoid the bad ending (completely spoiler free, all I said was the exact sentence you hear when you need to pick the six dialogue choices.) Although I doubt they'll read it and have probably already gotten many messages like it, I still felt like doing it.

As FrankCanada said, there is nothing remotely humourus about the bad ending. It wont end with laughs like the time they died from Hama after an hour, it just ends right after the most depressing scene of the game.

Then again, they're still far off from any ending, and I believe that if they make it that far they arent going to let it end like that. Such baffeling commitment followed by "that sucks, the end."? I dont think so. Kind of makes me wonder why i'm worried about it in the first place. I also dont see why they should go for the true ending after that. It feels really tacked on and there isnt any humor or much to say about it. Kind of if in Star wars VI the emperor would suddenly come back as a zombie in his death star 2.0

Also, im new, yaddayaddayadda etc.

It doesn't matter.   I don't watch the endurance run for the story of the game they're playing (if I was I'd just play the game myself), I watch it for Vinny and Jeff's commentary on a game that has many funny things to comment on.   If they get the bad ending it will probably be funnier than the alternative(s?), but I really could not care less.  

I'm pretty sure they'll get the bad ending because the correct responses and whatnot you have to get didnt exactly seem the obvious choices for me on my playthrough and probably wouldnt be the obvious choices for most people

Um hello? SPOILERS? Learn to think before you post, i'd edit that if I were you.

I'm not trying to lecture you or something but unless the topic has spoilers in the title it's pretty much a spoiler-free discussion, even if it's about the ending. About a month ago in episode 63 I believe when Jeff(or Vinny, dont remember) mensioned he found out about mutiple endings he said he did so on the forums, that could be this thread.

But i'm getting off-topic here so i'll be quiet now.

Plus, if they get the good or true ending, they get to sleep with one of the girls!

I think its a bit easy just pick the inbetween responses 

"I think its a bit easy just pick the inbetween responses 

not the kill em option

or the run away option

and even if they do chose the wrong response, they prompt you in saying "are you reeeeeeaaaaaaallllly sure about this?"

"

ohhhhhh

They will definitely get bad ending.100% sure unless they read FAQ or get help from others.

I'm currently on episode 43 and haven't played the game. 

" Would I like them to get the good ending? YesWould I like them to get the true ending? YesChances of either of those happening: Slim to none. "

^ Yeah, i don't get it too. It's depends on dialogue options, fusing personas or other shit?

" Bad ending is depressing as hell. Especially the credits music which is dramatically convenient if you've seen the true ending route. "

Okay, I figured how to get the good ending. Complicated as hell. Hopefully I get it right when the time comes.

I didn't think it was THAT hard to avoid the bad ending, but I did have to put the controller down for a minute and think about what was going on. That scene is really emotional.

Bar the not saving a certain someone, does the bad ending only happen when it happens?
Or are there things earlier on that must be decided on.
I.e. at the very start of the game, me not saying hello to someone would that result in a bad ending or is it only around the same time period anything can be affected.

I think theres only a certain scene which decides what ending you get. I hope they don't get it, or at least reload and look up how to get further cause the game really doesnt feel right to end there.

I really honestly think Jeff & Vinny would mess it up without any prior knowledge. If all they knew beforehand was that the dialogue choices in that scene determine the ending, I think they would catch on and maybe get it right. It would be preferable if they just knew what choice to pick from the get-go, though. However, I think if they got the bad ending, they would already be so far into the game that they would be willing to break their own rules. 

I haven't seen any of the three bad endings, but the thing I wouldn't mind seeing is a failure of the next dungeon.  Not the Naota one, but the one after that.  The fog coming to town would have to be one of the most depressing scenes in the game.

Getting the good ending is not a difficult task. I got it on my first try with no help. And to get the best ending, was easier. I love how the developers made you think and go against the choices the game throws at you so that you can unlock the true ending. More reasons as to why this game has found its place as one of my top favorite PRG's of all time.

I'm pretty sure they know the deal by now or, at the very least, once they get to that point they will.  When it gets there, it will more than likely be a matter of whether or not they want to do this endurance run any longer, or not.

Getting the good ending isn't hard.  I managed to do it my first time.  Now getting the true ending...that might take some help.

i think the true ending is hella more obvious than avoiding the bad one.

and its not like it deletes your save once you get an ending, you can go back :p.

Time question here.  If they get the bad ending, how much more would they have to play compared to what they'd have to play to get any of the other endings?

" They are nearly 25 hours into the game and are maybe 1/5th through the game...honestly it will take them at least 125 hours to beat it and will most likely stop by then (figure another 100 episodes+ at 1 hour each, on top of that if they die at all), that will be atleast another 6 months to complete it. Also they will NOT get the good ending unless they follow a guide on their first play through. I am literally up to that ground breaking part of the game myself; 51 hours in after the final exams, the night before the dialogue is going to happen which controls the ending. I have not used a guide until this point as from another thread finding out about it and from a friend that just finished the game today. They will need one, its 6 sentences that need to be responded to properly and ya...good luck with that. "

" Time question here.  If they get the bad ending, how much more would they have to play compared to what they'd have to play to get any of the other endings? "

You quouted a post from weeks ago? why?

They are more than 50 hours in now and I beat it in 65 with a true ending. The reason why they I expect them to take much longer is due to the fact they talk and aren't always playing. They are making commentary.

and making hotdogs

i think they know what's up

I'm betting that they will look up the correct answers beforehand and follow them while pretending to not know what they are doing.
