Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 79

Yo Jeff! Had my shoes off this whole time, oh yeah.

I have an odd feeling of deja vu watching this...

You guys put together the physical battle persona to use for physical battling, then in a physical battle you puss out without even using him? At least give him a spin.

When you're knee deep in menus, just press triangle again to exit out of them completely, except on the Persona menu, where triangle dismisses Personas! Don't do that.

Best show ever!

So if the episodes continue on schedule, including them skipping next week, episode 100 should fall on Friday July 3rd. Mark your calendars!

I like this back and forth of "Actually, you should have two teams... actually, you shouldn't" in the comments.

And to people who've finished the game, is Naoto useful... ever?  Light, dark, and expensive Almighty spells, sure, maybe, but would you want a whole slot in battle taken for that?  Maybe just for dungeon-crawling, but if she has no practical use in bosses (or maybe she does, I don't know), why level her at all?

I actually found that Chie ended up being on the scrub team eventually when I played.  Teddie gained cooler spells and gained his ice spells way faster.  Kanji was on the scrub team too though, he just didn't have big enough sp's, if you know what I'm sayin'.

The big reason why she can be useful is mind charge and no weaknesses.  It'd be better if she had another spell to match with mind charge that isn't as costly as Megido, but them's the breaks.  It all depends if you want to spend time making sure to cover up Teddie's and Yukiko's weaknesses.

It's hardly a spoiler; they don't even know who that is.

Kanji is awesome.....PERSONAAAAA!!

Seriously, use him more!

Here are some tips for Jeff and Vinny:

1.   Start using instant death magic more.  You'll soon be approaching a point where you're gonna want to use it.  Those beetles you encountered are weak against Darkness, I think.  You definitely don't want to be prolonging that battle.  Also, make sure you carry at least one Persona that can protect Charlie from instant death.

2.  Try to get some more Chest Keys.  You can get some good stuff in the Void Quest dungeon, including Blessed Hands, which powers up your healing ability.

3.  Try using the L1 button more.  With it, you can see the turn order.

4.   When faced with the decision to give up spells, there's no point in keeping both weak and medium attack magic.  Just drop the weak spell.

5.  Between Chie and Teddie, Teddie is superior when it comes to ice magic.  At this point in the game, only use Chie if you intend to use physical skills.

6.  I don't know if you got the message from a few of us, but don't go to the strip club unless it's for a quest or if you're going to fight the extra boss.  For the latter, just get to the top floor and don't waste time exploring/fighting weak enemies.  You have the Void Quest for grinding.

I don't know how I feel about having someone in the party that doesn't wear glasses....

yo what you guys could do is put yosku in instead of yukiko and just use teddy as the main healer then you can stay with pyro jack and be the fire person and invigorate all the time so you don't run out of sp as fast

So, it sounds like you guys aren't going to use Kanji very often.

Dang. At least Teddie's working out moderately OK.

i think the music is much better in this dungeon than all the others has anyone else noticed that lol?

Great episode, guys! ^_^ It's so looong~  And seeing Team B makes me happy, though you should have kept in Yosuke.  Yukiko's only features (in your party) are Diarama, Media, and her fire spells.  Yosuke has Diarama now, and he also has wind.  It would have saved you a great deal of SP by having Pyro Jack for fire/Invigorate, and use Yosuke for Magaru.

Also, I believe in this dungeon, the beetles reflect everything but physical/Almighty....(not sure about Light/Dark cause I never use it XD)  Which then leads me to a point many have already argued: WHY DON'T YOU USE PHYSICAL ATTACKS?!  They are WAY more likely to land a critical hit, they do more damage, and all it costs is a fraction of your HP.  It would cut down a great deal of effort to defeat enemies, and it would save a lot of your SP in the long run.

And I agree with a few of the other people on here: DON'T go to the strip club for grinding.  Just go straight for the stairs to the extra boss (for Teddie's weapon) and save your SP for the Void Quest.

By the way: Chapter 7 is a trap, and circle is your friend. :3

If they just rush to the top of the club they'll never run into the other party members, and that means missing out on the best dialogs and greatest usable items in the game

so does anyone know where i can download these videos so i can watch them on my zune?

Guys use Tentarafoo!!! It would've confused all the beatles!!!!

Guys if you can .. stay with either Kanji or Teddie in the A team... or somehow keep using the B team... I feal the B team has more personality then the other team.

Nobody can hate Rise for long. Not even Jeff.

I'm placing my bets that they'll wipe on this dungeon's boss on the first try. Just throwin' that out there. It took me a few tries, but then again I was playing this on expert. Which, I'd like to say I'm glad Jeff and Vinny picked to play this on normal. They'd be dying a lot on expert.

First level on Social Link is mortal blow taking.

Jeff and Vinny are awesome for the whole why so serious segment. Seriously it gets old after the 1000 time

now when chie lvs up you get rid of her ice skills for phys skill. her phys is the best!!!
teddy is your go to ice man!

Where were you when Jeff took his shoes off.

1) Kanji and Teddie were takin' hits because you guys REALLY need better armor. And weapons. Weapons are less important but for a physical attacker like Kanji (his magic stat is garbage) it's kinda needed.
2) Until Konohana Sakuya levels a fair bit more and nabs it herself, Teddie's the superior healer. Only needing one Mediarama vs blowing a lot of SP on lesser stuff = good.
3) Oh god level a lot. The boss is demonic...
4) No seriously, level a lot. I was 40 and I had a fight that lasted well over an hour and, had this not been my first time playing it (I was on Beginner, thus I had 10 'rez you if you die' items) I woulda hadta redo the whole thing after like 50 minutes.
5) Gotta pay more attention to your skills, guys. This is painful to watch. Optimally? You have a spread that knows a little of everything. One guy primarily for healing, one with the Hamas and Mudos (because if an enemy is weak to either, those are instant deaths, no questions asked), and one of each element. And... please, for the love of grannie smith, ya gotta stop NOT overwriting weak spells with their better versions. There's no reason to have Garu and Garula on Yosuke...

Anyway, that's all I got for now. You manky hobos drove me to buy the game, and I've passed by where you are finally. One dungeon ahead, roughly. I really hope Shadow Mitsuo doesn't eat you alive, because if the Endurance Run ever hits a part where I'd worry you'll give up, it's there. There's some funny stuff beyond it and the next dungeon/boss is fun as hell. Good luck, gentlemen.

Go Vinny, Go!

He's still going

13:27 ("He's so on my enemies list!") -- I have to say I was pleasantly surprised when I hopped over to Rises character page here on gb and noticed someone had added Mitsuo to Rises enemies list. That's awesome.  :>    

I love Teddie.
