Nice, you guys are returning to social links, I like those episodes better, I just wish they were longer

Also, you guys really need stronger personas, fuse some so you get some stronger ones

Death randomizes the floors, but it doesn't force you to go through the same ones again. It only did that last time because you never made it past the first floor.

Yes, there is a skill that you can use to exit the dungeon. One of your party members will learn it eventually, plus you can get it on your own Personas. The limit on the number of skills isn't much of an issue there, because you don't even have to use that Persona in battle if you don't want to.

Meh, poison. Just hit the motherfucker till it poofs. Light and dark spells on the other hand are mostly excellent, but they can really drain your SP if you start relying on them too much. And there's always a chance some random strong enemy can reflect those, and then..well..

Just listened to the latest Bombcast, spot on comments at the end. No spoilers here, I'll just mention the things Persona 4 does well get even better as the game advances. And the game is rarely *hard* so long as you keep a fresh stable of Personas handy for boss fights. Though I must say Kanji's shadow at the top of the bad, bad bathhouse is a real bitch. a-ha!

Stop using TOO much of your SP. Use your items, especially those steaks and also buy lots of cure aliment items.

@Relentless knight
They just need to fuse a sarasvati, that would give em more then enough SP to ride through most of the dungeon. Also, steaks are rather wasteful, their efficiency in healing per yen is even worse then using your SP and recharging via the fox.

I won't complain if they don't run through the whole thing in a single day though. One of the things I didn't like about P4 was how the dungeons really pushed you into dungeoning for an hour or two then doing Slinks/jobs for another hour, instead of being able to mix it up and do some of each every day. P3 in this was a lot better since the dungeoning was at night instead of in your already crowded afternoon.

By the way, why are you only using one save slot? Is your memory card too full for another one? I know there's been a few issues with Persona 4 saves on the PS3 being corrupted; don't want the endurance run ending because a save slot got ruined.

BTW, don't know if anyone's said this yet, but you're on the verge of opening up more Persona slots. The # of Persona you can have at once increases to 8 at Lvl 20, 10 at Lvl 25, and 12 (max) at Lvl 30.


As for fusion, I would watch the Fusion Forecasts for Bonus S. Link XP days. Once you start fusing Personas with Rank 5+ SLinks, you can get an extra level or 2 on those days.

HOW MUCH OF THE GAME IS LEFT?

How long does it last?

Should I play the game if I watched all the episodes till now, really enjoyed watching it, but if they've completed more than 25% of the game from what I've watched so far, I don't think I'll bother.

@Keyser_Soze

In game you can play up until the end of the year (and there is a hidden dungeon/boss even beyond that point). So they have tons of ingame time left, though there are a number of days in which game time speeds up quite a bit for certain special events. They are probably about 15%ish through.

I don't think they're playing on the PS3, so that's not an issue. And I don't think they want to have to load up a previous save and play through the same parts again. They'll do fine as long as they don't wait too long to rescue people.

@LEGENDARY1, Danke Schon, that's thankyou in German and I'm not even German.

I think I'll stop watching the vids, (I stopped at part 36 anyway) and get the game and complete that before watching the rest. Will probably take me about 6 months, what with other games to play as well.

I don't understand that when Teddie falls on the ground that and touches the floor, Vinny says that's "a little gross". I don't understand. Is it gross he fell on the floor or gross that a bear is trying it on with a human girl?

@samjiman: Let's think about this. Why would touching the floor of a bad bad bathhouse be considered gross? My guess is it has something to do with the fact that the dungeon is about bathhouses being a haven for illicit man on man behavior. So thus in a stroke of sophomoric wit Jeff made a joke about the lack of cleanliness of said bathhouse floors and bodily fluids conveying that Teddy is now covered in semen hence that is gross. 
Good brainstorming session let's try it again sometime. May I suggest we figure out the ending of F.E.A.R. 2 next ?

@bartok I guess you would know about it being semen because you are a A-grade wanker! You don't have to rip on me just because I didn't understand something. Also I am aware of the ending of F.E.A.R 2. Because I misunderstood this, I must be a moron right? I'm sure you've never misunderstood something in your smarmy miserable life.
