I'm kinda glad, but at the same time would love it if someone could explain the combat in a way to maximize everything. It's a great game but sooo confusing to get into.

I would like to give the Persona series another try. Which LPer and game would you recommend? Skipping grinding and showing off Personas and monsters would be particularly appreciated.

I don't think that anything can beat the Giant Bomb Endurance Run (their version of an LP) of Persona 4 with hero protagonist man Charlie Tunoku http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/endurance-run/?page=12.

I stopped playing because I kept losing to the first boss. I've only really watched that LP with it. I've glanced through this video and it seems they explain what's going on in the combat. It's a two-person LP, too. I watched a boss battle they did and they were thinking it out out-loud.

KalonZombie made one that's all three a while back. It's only the first game, though; he's said he plans on doing the rest eventually, but I don't think that will be anytime soon.

The greatest of feasts

Are there any decent completionist VLPs of FFIX or Lightning Returns out there? I've been looking around and either the player reads all the dialogue in a funny voice (in the case of the former) or says nothing (in the case of the latter).

Kung-Fu Jesus started one for LR, but quickly abandoned it. Your best bet for a good Lightning Returns VLP would be to wait a month or so until Artix and Fedule start up theirs. They've already been through XIII and XIII-2, and it's just a matter of time before they get to LR.

And are you sure you mean Final Fantasy 9? Because that's not really a game that lends itself to a VLP very well, but that being said FrancisFarterburgr and fieldmouse are doing every Final Fantasy game as a series of VLPs, so they'll probably get to IX... I dunno, eventually. They've been at it since late February and are up to IV now with regular updates.

Worth noting that they're waiting on the PC port which as far as I know keeps getting delayed.

Like nine-gear-crow said, a VLP of FFIX would be hard to find, but The White Dragon did a comprehensive screenshot LP of it back in 2010-2011.

I guess just to clear the air on LR, we are doing it, but it'll probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of June 2016. Aside from the necessity of finishing VLR and putting the PC port through its paces, Fedule has some personal stuff that means he won't be able to commit to a full LP until then. Theoretically I could start one next week, but it certainly wouldn't be what you were looking for, for a variety of reasons.

Cknoor did an in-character LP thing of don't starve. It was some time since I saw it but it was pretty good.

He's also got Reign of Giants multiplayer videos with Skuzal, IB and occasional others. He's fairly incompetent in them but they're also pretty entertaining!

I'd recommend them.

Kung Fu Jesus did stream himself starting and beating Final Fantasy IX. I don't know how good it is and if there are any missing spots in the video, but he did upload most - if not all - of it to YouTube.

A VLP? Probably not. I've always had an interest in the game but I don't know how well I could carry it, especially being a standard RPG with some gimmicky mechanics.

That's right, I haven't recommended Mercenaries 2 on this page yet.

Also Fleve's excellent Call of Juarez: Gunslinger LP just wrapped up so everyone should just go watch that because that game is an amazing bit of storytelling paired with constant balls-to-the-wall action.

The Archive's daily recs pointed me towards Trenchfoot's Monument Valley LP, and while I'm usually not much for VLPs I ended up watching this one all the way through. A quiet subtitled LP of a soothing, trance-y mobile puzzle game; just put the LP on and space out. Very calming.

There's some mocking the game and talking over each other, but I loved Slowbeef and Diabetus versus Dracula Unleashed. They're also doing Ripper now, another classic.
If you want an actually good FMV game, (using the term loosely) Contradiction is a fantastic watch.

One of my favorite unexpectedly chill LPs ever is MapleLeaf's Big Mutha Truckers. http://lparchive.org/Big-Mutha-Truckers/

Towards the other extreme, what are some LPs where the LPer is clearly better at the game than 99.99% of people and it shows? I feel like most of the more impressive LPs I've seen have been based on good planning and editing but not so much raw skill.

Also to be super annoying and specific, preferably not speedrunny kind of stuff, as I get enough of that from actual speedruns.

This'll probably seem a little... "janky" by now, since it's an LP from 2009, but if you're looking for skill, you can't really miss out on James315's Battlefield 1942 LP. Yeah, an LP of a multiplayer game seems like a really bad idea, but he makes it work. Even when his side loses, he usually still tops the scoreboard. His voice is always calm and informative, and he explains most of the little tricks he uses to get an edge.

/edit:
Also, some extremely badass things happened in that LP
