That's why my running theory for the entire game was that
the murderer was actually your Shadow. Because if you had the ability to put people in TVs your Shadow would as well. Then they'd just need to explain your Shadow leaving the TV world somehow and it'd all be good.
So was it just a total coincidence that the first two people killed also showed up on the midnight channel? Or did Izanami somehow make that happen?

HK: Hey Philemon was in the game!
Yes but you didnt meet him until well after going into the Velvet Room for the first time. P3 Protag and Aigis both met him before.

Well, glad that they got spoiled anyway. :lol
But man, they have no friends! Who doesn't want to hang out with suicidal ex-fat girls or girls who hate their dads?!

Glad to see that the ER lives another day.
Should be an interesting upcoming week.

What do you mean a coincidence?
A person shows up on the midnight channel when they are being thought of, the first victim's affair is what caused her to show up and news about Saki finding the body is what caused her to show up.

Yeah, that was awesome/sad.
I also liked how they reacted to that Nanako moment, although it brings up a question - what happens if you only hung out with only Nanako or Dojima? It'd probably have to play out the same way, I imagine.
Fimbulvetr said:
I mean the fact that Adachi killed them immediately after they appeared on it. Because they were on the channel before they got thrown in. That's the coincidence part I'm talking about. Because he threw the first woman in on accident (I think) and Saki mostly because she pissed him off, and not because he saw them on the MC or anything like that.

Just finished watching the latest Endurance run episode, good to see they're going for gold. Nothing stops the endurance run !:lol

I see what you mean,
Adachi's plan did seem to rely a lot on luck too
ultron87 said:
I think the fact was that because the public was constantly thinking about the first woman's case, she appeared on the midnight channel. And, since the only reason Adachi could throw people in was because of Izanami, it was by sheer accident that he realized he could enter the TV, and his insanity caused him to throw her in. So while the two events are both related to the shadow world/Izanami, they're largely unrelated to each other as cause/effect. Damn Adachi luck.

Margaret battle
1. I'm amazed at the effort the Persona devs (and English localization team) put into this game. To spend all that time on something like this which maybe 500 people will ever access is ridiculous. Reminds me of MGS3 in a way.
2. Margaret's fighting stance is badass. Such a cool optional fight.
3. Holy shit that guy playing is a huge nerd. Not only is he like a pro P4 player, he also put that video up less than 2 months after the game was released.... some intense poopsocking to get stats like that so fast.

Omega is just like that with most games.
"Withstand THIS!" Mitsuru still sounds awesome. :lol
I can't tell whether she's easier or harder than Liz.

I never did fight her, Liz was enough for me. I let myself get nuked so I could get an avatar out of it.
I'm still watching today's episode, but I'm willing to wager they lose the first time. They're rather under-leveled and have no idea about the combo attack the final does

Still have to watch yesterday's episode, so I'm looking at two-and-a-half hours of Persona 4 lovin' to go with my grinding out the Abyss of Time. But I still cannot get over one fact:
Duder, it's over. ;_;

Climactic ending to this episode.
They win. But the end it at the bit where Izanami pulls you under.

Mine froze just when they were about to start fight her. :{ Loading up slowly.

I could have finished the boss my first try but I got cocky and didn't guard after it mind charged. I couldn't resist, I was mind charged it was debilitated and Ragnarok was hitting it for over 1000 hp, so I took my chance.

I never considered that
Vinny went with. Too bad he only did it for one round.
:lol The remix fight theme does pump you up during that fight.
Rush the final Boss strategy,
I've accidentally pressed Triangle before. I'd freak out frantically tapping the button, turning it on and off a few more turns until I sorted it out.

Woohoo, awesome episode. But it's going to end tomorrow
the bit where they accidentally rushed was funny cuz it's happened to me a couple of times too :lol. But still

Wow, I thought they would have finished it up today but I guess not. Still, I'm going to miss it.
As much as I'd love them to do a Persona 1 Endurance Run, I can't see that happening. :lol:

Well that's that. 100 hours over 7.5 months or so doesn't seem like all that long. It's like 3 and half hours a week. I think I spend more time getting coffee at work. I'm glad they stuck with it to the end.

Loved the 99h 59 min part. :lol
It was an epic run. It also made me realize how much people can suck at games and how frustrating it can be to watch them F up. Vinny is a hilarious and swell guy but man some of the decisions made... :lol

I think it definitely benefited the sales of Persona games. They showed the entire game but they showed it across a span of 7.5 months. Ton of people who were unfamiliar with the series got hooked on the endurance run and decided to try the game(s) for themselves. Others were just content watching the endurance run and these people wouldn't have ever bought the game in the first place.Yaweee said:

While my copy was one I had from Square Enix ages ago (they published it in the UK and sent me two copies; I handed one off to the person who reviewed it and kept the other), I can say that I've happily just begun playing this game and it's all down to the Endurance Run. I'd never have played it otherwise.
I'm sure there's plenty of people out there like me who have been swayed but didn't own the game so ended up buying it.

It definitely sold me on the game. I really had no interest in the game or the Endurance Run at first. I ended up watching an episode after they talked about it on the Bombcast and I was hooked. 30-40 episodes later, I felt compelled to play something like it, and after realizing there wasn't any alternative that would satisfy me I decided to just play Persona 4.

If not sales, it at least raised a lot of people's opinion on the game.

It'll definitely feel weird waking up and not watching this every morning.

Pretty much. I'd imagine a lot of people had skeptical thoughts when they heard "high-school sim" and "dating-sim elements" thrown out when describing the last 2 Persona games.chandoog said:
