@Loveisabadday

Young Detective is feelin the bass groove.

Question is.... does the entire thing work properly today?

Woo

AWESOME! Thank you Vinny, Jeff and Drew!

Well this was nice, to see the new episode coming so fast. Can't wait for the boss fight.

I hope this one is a lttle better than yesterdays.

Oh noes, looks like their low levels are finally going to be an issue here.

We'll be praying for you guys.

3rd girl's talc....HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@xDot-

So far so good :D

Chie totally lied to you guys

yeah the boss here is a biatch, prolly want to kill both shadows in the older dungeons.

Investigation team GO!!!!

I'm kind of suprised that the life and death conversation with Nanako didn't end with "Your Junes!"

Oh God, battle vids coming up!?  I can't wait to see the comments.

If I were you, I'd go up a few floors on Rise's dungeon, gain some levels as a result, and then give the King another shot.  And there's a new boss at Kanji's dungeon, too, but you have to go up all 11 floors again to reach it.  Your call.

Also, regarding party members, you can always swap them out mid-trip.  I like keeping one party until a few run low on SP, and then swap them out for fresh ones.  Saves money on the Fox that way.

You should definately go and take out the king first.

Man, that talk with Nanako was a bum out.

I'm glad there will be more fighting soon. Does anyone know how many floors are in this dungeon?

lol @ the start when, as expected, they tried to fake that Jeff had had gone on GameFAQs and went straight to the practice building. Honesty is the best policy...or, at least, that's what my mum always said.

/hopes this episode is better than the last few

Everybody STRIP!

Strip like a ZEBRA!

You should replace Yosuke with Kanji. Yosuke is useless.

Well, now it's time for them to start getting those ailment cures from the Item Store. This is the dungeon where they really start hurting if they don't have them.

Uhh wow, they kinda worried me there bringing out Sarasvati (who's weak against wind) against some rare wind casting monsters...good thing Chie was there

If by useless you mean having an incredibly important spell, Tentarafoo, but thats a weird use of the word useless.

Neato.

@Loveisabadday

that is a pretty awesome song.

Shut up Hairy, Yosuke is just fine.

God, Nanako is the most depressed character ever. She's even worse than drama girl.

Killing the King is one thing, but you've got the bonus boss in the sauna to deal with now too. Get to it gents!

I would have at least checked out Kanji's stats&skills to see if he is like... better than anyone else or something instead of just going with the old party.
I have never played P4, so don't tell me to get used to the fact that they don't do as you'd like them to.

Nice job guys, these vids really helped me burn through those early parts of P4. Just a note, the upcoming Rise big boss fight (not sub boss) you'll want to have some ice resist, I recommend King Frost who drains ice damage. Also Yukiko is weak to ice so consider leaving her out (although you can have her block to prevent knock down). 

Almost forgot, hit the mailbox in the shopping district to trade in 3 prize stickers for some free stuff.

@Ventilator

I think they chose the original party just because they had higher social links with them and are able to do extra attacks and special recovery.  But I agree with you that they should at least check his skills and attributes first.

Im getting sick of Brosuke.
Switch him :P
Pwease?

Vinny said: See you guys tomorrow

Yeah like hell are we getting a weekend episode

Jeff actually suggested the Practice Building in yesterday's episode too. I think if they knew which student they were supposed to talk to, they'd go straight there. They don't like talking to anyone that they don't have to.

So awesome they didn't get hit with a third Magaru, especially after they hit up Sarasvati.  Would totally suck to have to go back to the last save, which I think was before the investigation started...

"I'll look around in the TV" just made my day.

Regarding the line-up:

Yosuke's final wind spells can be devastating to the shadows in the last couple of dungeons.  The person who struggled the most at that level (for me, at least) was Chie.  Her spells never really get that powerful, and her special attacks are so costly that you have to keep a constant eye on her health as a result.  And te guys may not like Yukiko, but I found her invaluable towards the end.

Every game needs a strip club dungeon.

Ah, I was kind of hoping ot see Kanji hit someone with a folding chair. Oh well, you guys do have a point. You got S-Link skills with the other guys. Heh, and...

Achievement Unlocked: "Mad Crime"
-Talked to Nanako about how more people have been doing bad things since you showed up. Also, you got depressed.

When will you fight the King in Yukiko's dungeon? You got my hopes up, you need to exact revenge on it!

First video in three days to work on first try!  Yeah!

Kanji's a great physical attacker, and also the only other character with Zio spells. You don't have to use him all the time, but it's a good idea to change your team every so often to save on SP.

I can't believe neither of you have even checked out Kanji's Persona and its stats using the menu. He's more useful then Chie. Yukiko is the only character from the original 4 to continue to be in my squad to the very end.

mrbasehart; Chie and "Charlie" were my dealers the entire time with Yukiko being on the ball as well, I stuck with the original 4 for the most part and used the others for clearing the random shadows on the earlier floors. Chie and Charlie using melee heavy attacks with Power Charge, Attack up on them and defense down on the boss with the skill God's Hand literally was my tactic for pretty much every boss and led to "one shot" kills with Yosuke giving Hit/Evasion to the party at all times with Yuki spamming full heals for 15 SP with an acc that halves the  cost of SP spells.

And for them, they should really use everyone. Kanji is great but his SP pool is quite limited, when they get additional people they can have 2 groups a main group and a backup group; use backup group to clear some floors, goho and swap in the main group when they get low. Wish I was doing that from the start as i'd of been clearing dungeons in 1 day instead of 2 or whatever.
