Live countdown to major Persona team announcement from Atlus [Summary in OP]

I actually like Elizabeth's Japanese voice. Never really heard it before, but I like it better than the dub, which is unusual for me.
 
Going to double post since my post is basically buried. Here's a hint

Dotonbori is three minutes away from Namba Station in Osaka. It's a city that never sleeps, basically, and a huge tourist attraction. It's also near Minami, which is another district, and the Japanese word for "south"

The JR East Station is one of the biggest stations in all of Tokyo, and is very big around Shinjuku. In Shinjuku, it is known as one of the busiest train stations in the world to some, even going as far as being recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The Sakae Station is located in the Naka ward of Nagoya and in the city of Aichi, and is a fairly nice station. I couldn't find much info about it, though...

The Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) station is another big station that is also home to a small shopping center of sorts.

The Sendai Station is known as the biggest station in Sendai, and is home to the Sendai Subway Namboku Line. It was affected in the 2011 Touhoku earthquake and tsunami. Not much more info I can find on it, sadly...

The Sapporo Chikagai, located near Odori, is home to an underground shopping center. I couldn't find much more information, but I did find that it is near some shopping centers such as Aurora City and Pole Town.

Now, to those who also speak Japanese, do you get it yet?

The answer is These are directions. North and south is Namboku in Japanese. North alone is Kita, and south alone is Minami. Combined is Namboku, which means north and south, Naka is middle, Chikagai is underground. Nishi is west. JR East is well, east. Dotonbori is near Minami, which means south. Chuo-ku, where Odori is, also means "center" Seeing something here?

Now, let's push this theory up to eleven. Shinjuku is the only place that is a ward within itself. Shinjuku is divided into 6 wards, each in different directions. What are the directions of these wards? North, south, east, west, with Shinjuku being the one in the center/middle. Shinjuku also has an underground district, I believe.

I wonder if this is for Persona 5... I found that there is supposed to be another logo on the p-ch page.



This doesn't mean anything at first, but what this means is that "div class" is the description and name, and "img src" is the source of the file, which in this case is an image.

For the locations that jiggle, they use a script that is called JRumble, which makes the text jiggle, and you can then add a div class and img src to make the images appear to be like text, or appear interactive even though each thing is just an image.

What I'm saying is, at first, the source only displayed "osaka rumble" which would add a rumble effect to the image, which is titled osaka.png, but now it says "osaka rumble = osaka2" to change the image.

This means that we will see another logo soon, since everything else started out with a div class, but then got a "img src" or something similar.

This is very hard to explain, so what I'm saying might sound like ramblings. I'm sorry.

EDIT: Go to the inspect element menu of your browser for a better understanding. Every item on the page has a division class, which explains what each thing represents. The three boxes, are known as "banners" and the images are known as "chara", meaning the banners are for a character, in this case, Teddie.
There is a division class for another logo section. logo-L is the P-Studio and ATLUS logo, so what could logo-R (right) be? Arc System Works? Aniplex?

I've been on a 36h work period(a few hours rest tops here and there) so I might be stupider than ever. But did everything here make sense?

You are amazing.
 
Namba station? Please take place in Osaka, please take place in Osaka, please take place in Osaka.

It's all nice but what are you getting at?
 
And we're done for several hours. It's switched to music. Time to relax at work.

Had the stream on at work and refused to mute it, yeah I'm that a-hole, and people have been looking at me as I'm mad :D

But anyway been reading through more and more of the threads just to see if someone else has any good ideas. But man...I can't muster up anymore coffee so time to sleep. Thanks for sharing the madness GAF.
 
I guess my wishful thinking still works: the P3 / P4 stuff teases P3 silver and Arena 2 home version while the train stuff is P5.

Yeah, I have to stop setting myself for disappointment.
 
Persona 3 - Tartarus
Persona 4 - TV world
Persona 5 - Subway ride to the otherworld

choose your train:

Hmm..Trains served as an intro for P3 and P4 to get the protag to where they needed to go, so it might not necessarily indicate a full-on series of cities and the like.

But if SMT IV is any indication, it's certainly not out of the question, and would be pretty neat, provided the expanding of the area doesn't lead to feeling like there's a lot less to do.
 
Can anyone give me a recap of what's been happening. I'm out of the loop and the thread is confusing me.

The stream is of a countdown leading up to the 24th. Every now and then we're getting little "events" that can be cutscenes or trailers of past games, mainly P3/P4/P4U. At midnight, Japan time, teasers have been played.
 
There was that strange moment at the beginning of Persona 4 where the MC still on the train had a vision of events unfolding elsewhere at the same time, as well as of Igor. It happened before the craziness properly started in the game, and is pretty much an unexplained phenomenon, considering how thoroughly everything else in the game was explained. It would be interesting if there is some weirdness with trains in the Persona world that ties into this.
 
Most theories always suspected P5 to be based around social media in some way.

Doom trains what we a nice twist haha

Maybe the plot is based around some viral marketing initiative that turns people into zombies who sit at their computer watching pointless videos.
 
Just wanna give thanks to you guys for sharing the NicoNico stream via Twitch, YT, and then analyzing what we've seen so far. It's made this all a lot more fun.

Now don't let me down, Atlus.

So basically these are the 6 locations where you can buy tickets to whatever live concert event this is inevitably going to be?
