Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 154

Jeff and Vinny's discussion about Summons to Yomi was hilarious.
 
I got insta-killed by it first time fighting the boss on my first playthru and also on my second.

" I think whatever the next endurance run is, it needs to not be a SMT game. I have nothing against them, it's just I think that it would get boring. >_> "

I hate you guys and love you guys all at the same time.  Making us wait for tomorrow is so uncool but that's what I thought would happen.  What a way to end the week though.

CLIFFHANGER!
 
Now i must see tomorrow.

I looked up the first form song on Youtube and have been looping it for...way too many times now.

Oh god nice remix at the boss :P

Did everyone else cringe when Vinny accidentally hit the triangle button and started a rush? but oh man, what a great cliffhanger to end on, if I had not beaten the game already I would be tearing my hair out waiting for tomorrow. Looks like the Endurance Run is really going to end tomorrow, damn.

The Witcher for the next Endurance Run! Its just the right length and the right kind of crazy.

Why do you hate Chie? Poor girl's footwear has been neglected all the way through the end.
 
Anyway, excellent work. I didn't even use Debilitate in my play through. Damn that's a broken spell.

Duder, this game ain't over!

He's fucking dead!

God damn it, it's great that I'm going out of state tomorrow to visit relatives who have almost no internet and I'll have to wait until Sunday to finally see the ending I've been waiting almost 90 hours for to see.

Congrats, guys! You've just finished the last, best PS2 game.

I didn't even use Debilitate in my play through. Damn that's a broken spell. "

" That boss didn't seem too bad for the final (super-secret-optional-uber) encounter. "

" @EvilTwin: WTH do you mean this isn't really the super-secret-optional-uber encounter WTH else is there???? "

82 minutes?!

I like how Vinny in the very last seconds of the video says (something like) "Tune in tomorrow for what could be the very last PERSONA 4 Endurance run". Maybe they already have another game to ER? Or maybe I'm just wishing too much. :P

" Nice job guys, can't believe you stuck it out all the way.  As great as the Endurance Run has been I REALLY hope you don't jump straight into a new one. There's all kinds of new features you guys could start with all the free time now that you're not "Enduring". Bring on the new! "

Investigation! Team! Go!
 
Nicely done. Almost 100 hours. I put slightly more time into Fallout 3, but not much. Wow.

Vinny just rushed the last boss of the game. You guys are AWESOME! The remixed music was amazing too.
 
It's sad that the ER is getting to an end, but it's always wonderful to recall all those great memories. We've still got one last one. Tomorrow, 09-18-2009, the last day of Persona 4 Endurance Run. It will be a great day, followed by some painful days. But, in the end, the ER just made us all slightly better and happier people.
 
GiantBomb, we owe you!

holy crap what a place to end. Thanks for doing these everyday guys. It was great to watch. Can't wait for tomorrow.

I'm glad I have a long, busy day today at work. I'm saving this episode for tomorrow, when I can watch the 1-2 punch of the finale properly. Truly this has been the most engaging, entertaining, and must-see viewing material from any gaming site that I can remember. Truly. <3 Giant Bomb.

"Alright, let's finish this Yosuke!" That bit at the end scared the hell out of me the first time I played.
 
Sucks that the Endurance Run is almost over, I'm really gonna miss daily Persona 4 episodes.

frozen rose is most likely a reference to beauty and the beast,

Dude, its over!
Replay the video?
sadly no.

Persona 3 FES endurance run next! It'd be crazy!
 
Really I'm not sure where we go from here after tomorrow. Plenty of options, but leaving Persona 4 behind is gonna be rough.

god damn put "person 4 secret boss" into youtube.
 
Looks like there are a ton of reasons for me to play this game a second time

I think this episode was best summed up by Vinny's reaction to Rise during the boss fight.
   
Rise: We've never seen anything like her before! 
Vinny: NO SHIT! 
 
Anyways, Jeff Gerstmann and Vinny Caravella- master of cliffhangers!

SHENMUE ENDURANCE RUN GO

" @Leadcat said:

I agree; but it should still be an RPG. The game has to let Vinny and Jeff come up with some commentary, serious or funny. That's why they couldn't do an endurance run on a FPS or Sports game. It pretty  much needs to be an RPG. Morrowind, maybe? "

They should seriously have everyone in the office sit in for the last episode, it would be so awesome.
 
Anyone else agree with me?

LOL, when Chie and Yukiko gets hit with Thousand Curses you can see Yosuke rocking out as he's standing there watching them get pulled down.

AHA!  Is it over?

Fuck yeah! i was getting pumped!

It's not loading for me O_O 
EDIT: It's fine now

" They should seriously have everyone in the office sit in for the last episode, it would be so awesome.  Anyone else agree with me? "

Imo, they shouldn't do anymore endurance runs this year. Wait till next year atleast. Let this one melt in a bit, also I don't think GB should do endurance runs on older games, it's not really the same. The whole appeal of p4 endurance run is that it's little obscure, kinda ridicilous and really long, it as everything lined up to make this not only fun to watch but kinda funny to laugh at and also funny to ENDURE. Games like morrowind and shenmue is old and not really any fun to sit through and watch as a spectator. Persona 4 had something special that made this possible (could've been persona 3 too) so until another game feel natural to do an endurance run, i say don't force it and let the concept of endurance run be on ice. 
 
Also it kinda funny i've been following this since the release of the first episode. I even skipped playing this just so i wouldn't spoil it anything really while watching this. (ok i read the comic but doesn't really count)

InO ! InO! InO! woohoo.
 
 
 
im gonna miss seeing new episodes after school :(.
 
 
/you had a dream about the ER..../

Accidentally hitting the rush button during the last boss fight is what the Endurance Run is all about. Couldn't think of a better way to end it. Stoked for tomorrow.

One more episode. Quite the cliff-hanger. Going to miss this. Hopefully the next one has the same charm and charisma as this one.

You tell Investigation Team just bumrush a god.   Your social link has gone into Reverse.
 
So stoked for tomorrow.  
 
By the way, the creepy magic teacher from P3 gives a lecture on Izanami on the school trip that lends insight into her and her true form.  It's in ER episode 100 after they arrive at the school.
