Wait, did the X-Blades guys send them more weird promotional stuff or an actual game this time?

I loved the steak part at the end, good episode.

If you guys are interested in the Dojima/Nanako parenting situation, you should check out Dojima and Nanako's Social Links. It provides great insight into both of those characters.

Haha - these commentaries are amazing, actually going to get this game now. Just need to dust off the PS2 ... comes out March 13th here in the UK so gotta wait 10 days, it better come with Vinny and Jeff commentary! 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, anyone noticed that it says (on the main page) that Giantbomb.com is powered by pancakes (among other stuff) - Is it it kinetic energy of the constant flipping of pancakes? or Do their servers use pancakes as some form of sustenance? ALL THESE QUESTIONS GIANTBOMB!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
P.S. 
Yosuke Hanamura is easily my favorite character in this :)

I'm glad you got more courage from your manly book, 'cause you're gonna need it to ask Chie to wrestle in Luchador masks.

And nothing else.

Maybe I'm abnormal, but I always run through a dungeon the first time through completely. I only escape when I know for certain that I'm going to die...am I the only one? =/

I have a question for Vinny and Jeff, are you playing it on PS3? and if you guys stop playing is there any opportunity to be able to download the save file from the site? I would like to play though the game but I don't want to do the first 3hours of pushing X. Keep going guys! I will keep watching!

Yeah it's best to do as much of a dungeon as you can in one go so you have more days free for advancing S.Links.

Jeff & Vinny really need to stock up on Goho-Ms so they can warp out to thesave point then just go right back in to the castle.

Yo, I know you check the sink every chance you get, so I figured id give you a little tip. You wont have any ingredients to make lunch until Nanako says something along the lines of "Hey I went shopping today", Once you arrive home and she says that you will be able to cook some food my friends.

Books are great for raising the social stats, you should get them as often as possible because they're usually cheap. They'll last for four nights if you 'read thoroughly' and two if you 'glance through'. You can mix and match these too, so if you read thoroughly twice and glance through once it'll last for 3 days. Early on I suggest you focus on Knowledge (studying) and Expression (some books and also the folding envelopes part-time job). Knowledge is important for getting good test scores, which boosts the S-Links of all your classmates and also gets you some pretty nice rewards from the Egyptian teacher and also from Dojima. If you rank first in your class, you also get a bonus accessory from Nanako, and they can't be found anywhere else and a couple of them are really good. Expression is key for a few Social Links, especially Nanako's and Dojima's (which will open soon). You can't progress the Links beyond a certain level without a high Expression rank.

it dont matter if u miss practice.
also on a rainy day. if u dont go into the TV spend some time a Aiya.
on rainy days if u fork up some $ u can try and raise 3 STATS AT ONCE! the best deal in the game!
also. the daycare job, not only pays better but it also has a S Link.!

GHT, that was an awesome Paradox there mate! That was some deep s**t there! (Don't listen to people's advice on the forum, especially not mine). 


and just wondering, do all the social link events (where you go up levels) automatically come up as you go through the game? or do you have "work" to make them happen?

no, there´s a hidden point system for every s.link. when you accumulate enough points, by spending time with them and giving the "good" answers (every answer you give has a different point value) it goes up.

compared to P3 the system is way more lenient this time around. in P4 you actually have a chance to max out everyone without slavishly following a day by day guide!

If Jeff and Vinny what to hand out with Chie then you must save Yukiko first. Basically Yukiko is Chie best friend, so she be there worry sick and doing nothing until you get Yukiko out of TV land. oh went you if you wnat to got out with here, she be by the roof.

April 29th is the last day to save yukiko, so be ready.  Don't forget to by some goho-M (pronounced go home) and Tap Soda.  I believe there are 10 floors to every dungeon and you're only on the 5th floor.


Tip:  Go to the bathroom occasionally at school, it sometimes gives you hints and items.

Tip: Jeff's right, go buy things at the shopping district then do your social links.

If you manage to max out the Social Link of someone in your party, their Persona will evolve and lose its weakness (for example, Chie wont be weak to fire any longer. To party members wont lose their weaknesses).

I highly suggest searching out Yosuke everyday (he'll be at the same place you saw him today, if you can hang out with him), as he gets bad ass, and invaluable fairly quickly.

Finally, you're almost at the end of your time to save Yukiko, so you should probably get to the TV. There are 8 floors, but I think you may be a few levels too low to take on the boss. Protip: get a Persona resistant to fire! I recommend fusing a Senri.

They have plenty of time to save Yukiko on the 27th, 28th and 29th.  If they are competant and somewhat lucky they can do it in 1 day.  A half assed job can get it done in 2 days.  A full assed job could take all 3 days


The game is being nice in that Yosuke is only avaiable on non practice days right now.  We're still at the bottom of the learning curve, saving Yukiko opens up the next level of complexity.

Someone's probably already said this but they forgot to watch the Midnight Channel didn't they, what with it being a rainy day and all? That might explain what Yousuck was on about. Hey, you know, scratch that; the rain was in the morning and bball practice wasn't cancelled. I'll shut up now...

Ok, This is the last epsiode of endurance run I've watched. Should I watch epsiode 18-101? Or just forget about Endurace run?
