Between Persona 4 Golden being my favorite video game, the realization that the Endurance Run is now over seven years old, the HD remakes, and the inevitable release of Persona 5 possibly/hopefully this year, I finally cracked and decided to watch the Persona 4 Endurance Run. And then I decided to make this thing along the way:
For the amount of content this series has produced, I only knew of a handful of highlights--like Bufu, Mysterious Fox, and Hama--from the forums and YouTube, but I never really knew what it was like for Jeff and Vinny to experience Persona 4 beyond those moments. So for this, I decided to pick one highlight / funny moment from all 155 videos, as a way to highlight and promote the series as a whole. More often than not, I went with whatever I personally thought was the funniest, but I also wanted to capture what it is like to play this game. (As in having a balance between when certain characters, Personas or mechanics are introduced, Social Links, and dungeon crawling)
Since I am watching this series live, there may be random delays between future releases, but I hope to finish this before Persona 5 launches. (Whenever the hell that is)
This video features clips from Parts 001 to 015. Highlights include: Funky Student, Everyday's Great At Your Junes, and luchador masks.
Even with this and other Best Of videos, you should really see this series for yourself. There are almost too many funny moments to cover in a highlight video like this and the Persona games are really entertaining to watch someone else play.

Hope you guys enjoy!
