Message board goers seem to be like pearl divers. Different people can stand different depths. We're all digging around in the dark looking for flashes of something worth finding. Some people can go deeper than others. Everyone who does it long enough will give themselves nosebleeds.

I appreciate your beautifully written comment, but that still doesn't say anything that /r/megaten is simply a tryhard /smtg/

I'd love for Persona 3 Platinum to be a thing. Say my younger sister wants to try out the series, she either has to start at 4 Golden, go back to archaic P3FES by today's standards (at least for not completely casual yet not completely core player) or play with the FeMC (which would be ideal) but as a PSP game. P3 Platinum would fix any issue anyone ever has when asking "where should I start".

A definitive version of P3 would be nice to have but I don't think it's something we really need right now.

A remake with the Persona 5 (maybe even 6) engine could be really cool though.

This is pretty good. It's what I picture a casual area (like the coffee shop hangout) might sound like.

I feel like a definitive version of Persona 3 is most likely to happen after the movie anthology is finished. And by extension of that, after Persona 5 is released.

I feel like so many people don't care about whether it's really 2015 in NA or not, while that's probably the only thing I really want to know and which E3 will definitely tell us.

I get the impression that most people don't believe Persona 5 could possibly come out this year in NA. Therefore, they don't care.

I shall be happen when there's a full English trailer at E3 that's brand new and different from the Japanese one! Because I believe in a simultaneous October 2015 launch!

I am always happen when I think about Persona 5 (☞ ͡ ͡° ͜ ʖ ͡ ͡°)☞

I, too, #BELIEVE in a simultaneous launch, if not a US release one month after the Japanese release.

Persona 3 Platinum with Persona 5 graphics engine.

I will flip shit if it got P5 graphics quality. Although not expecting it even if there is a P3 re-release

I would actually like this in P5. I seem to be the only one to not like the P5 Trailer music as much, but this sounded good.

Not a fan of ironic shitposters, to be honest. But that's really all there is that's "bad" about /r/megaten

Seriously though, P3 Platinum's a pipe dream at this point.

There is content literally split between two versions, i think a remake is definitely warranted.

So, a few posts back, most of you may have noticed that FluxWaveZ found a part of p-ch.jp that doesn't seem to be publically open yet and is in construction: http://p-ch.jp/about/

I've decided to analyze it for everyone, and here are my results:

If you visit it, you'll notice it looks like a broken page with broken images. However, there is more to this page.

The broken images are not broken images, but images changed to have permissions set to make it be viewed as a broken or not found image. It also seems to link to http://www.nesica.net, the official website for NESiCA, which is a Japanese service that is used in arcade cabinets, and also has its own arcade cabinets. It has its own registration services, which is used in the arcade version of P4U2. This arcade cabinet service is known as "NESiCAxLive" which some of you may have heard about.

Found within the site are links to a page called http://p-ch.jp/howto/, as well as a page called http://p-ch.jp/playtitle/ and http://p-ch.jp/playtitle/detail, which have tags.

One of the HTML codes in the source is labeled "what-touroku-s" which is what the link to the NESiCA login page is connected to. The writing for "touroku is "登録" in Japanese which is usually used for sign-up pages. In fact, the NESiCA site uses the term "最新登録" which can mean "new registration" This would make sense, as the NESiCA page linked is a login page, although it seems to be a 404 page. Even more interesting is how p-ch.jp is referred to "what-shop" in the code, which makes me wonder if a shop section is being added to p-ch.jp relating to all of this.

Here's an image of these parts of the source code:

So, maybe this is a registration tutorial for a shop section, which would make the link "howto" make sense. Another interesting thing is that NESiCA was involved with P4U2, which used a NESiCA machine. Could this be what it's for?
I noticed "<body id="p4u2" class="bg-none">" in the code, however, that's also in the code for all p-ch.jp pages, as the site manager probably forgot to change the background body tag to "P4D" after the P4U2 background was changed.

I feel that this is an ATLUSxNESiCA thing, judging by what I can see right now. But, only time will tell.

Whatever this is for seems to be something of interest, so I'll make sure to keep an eye on it.

EDIT: Added more information.

Obviously, this means a Persona 5 Social Link Phone/Web App is in development to really drive in the feel of next-gen.

Whatever it actually turns out to be, let's positive HYPE~

Then Persona 5: The Arcade Cabinet, or P4A3? I'm running out of ideas here, although we won't know until that section of the site is fully developed. ;__;
Click to expand...

I was thinking P4D on NESiCAxLive, but only time will tell. It'd make sense. They could release it later in the year, and since it'd be an arcade port, it wouldn't get in the way of P5.

Whatever this is, it really seems like an ATLUSxNESiCA company crossover right now (TAITO is behind NESiCA for those wondering). By that, I don't mean game titles crossing over together. I mean it like the companies working together. For example: ATLUSxARC SYSTEM WORKS and the former ATLUSxDINGO company crossover.

Actually, "shop" makes me wonder. Maybe they're planning on bringing over the P4U2 DLC from the PS3 version over to NESiCAxLive. That's also a possibility.

So, this is interesting. I took a look at the URLs for the broken images again, and did something.

Here are the URLs to the broken images:

http://p-ch.jp/itemimg/07893827db4e60b619f583c56f588c45a624.jpg

http://p-ch.jp/itemimg/0154ffc629294b9318df0dd279e98336e4e9.jpg

The official website for NESiCA has an "/itemimg/" page, so I took the JPG parts of the links and put them into http://nesica.net/itemimg/

Here are the results:

http://nesica.net/itemimg/07893827db4e60b619f583c56f588c45a624.jpg

Yep, they're not broken on the NESiCA website. Only thing is, these are all released titles, so these are definitely not ATLUS developed games or anything secret. Oh, and all of the "/playtitle/detail/" pages except the first one are all valid pages on the NESiCA website that lead to details on the products showcased in those images. Take a look:

http://nesica.net/playtitle/detail/?nesys_id=990010 (Broken)
http://nesica.net/playtitle/detail/?nesys_id=2100 (&#12464;&#12523;&#12540;&#12532;&#12467;&#12540;&#12473;&#12479;&#12540; 2 &#12504;&#12532;&#12531;&#12522;&#12540;&#12501;&#12455;&#12473;&#12486;&#12451;&#12496;&#12523; GROOVE COASTER 2 HEAVENLY FESTIVAL)
http://nesica.net/playtitle/detail/?nesys_id=3025 (BLAZBLUE CHRONOPHANTASMA Ver2.00)
http://nesica.net/playtitle/detail/?nesys_id=1900 (&#12460;&#12531;&#12473;&#12522;&#12531;&#12460;&#12540; &#12473;&#12488;&#12521;&#12488;&#12473; GUNSLINGER STRATOS)
http://nesica.net/playtitle/detail/?nesys_id=1007 (&#12525;&#12540;&#12489; &#12458;&#12502; &#12532;&#12449;&#12540;&#12511;&#12522;&#12458;&#12531; III LORD OF VERMILION III)
http://nesica.net/playtitle/detail/?nesys_id=3030 (THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIII CLIMAX for NESiCAxLive)

Also, the "howto" page is in fact a page on NESiCA that was also linked incorrectly:

http://nesica.net/howto/

And, the http://p-ch.jp/about/ page uses code directly from http://nesica.net/about/ including the sign up and login link, which is: http://member.nesica.net/member/login/?guid=ON

However, that link is incorrectly linked, and instead incorrectly typed out as "http://nesica.net/member/login/?guid=ON" instead of "http://member.nesica.net/member/login/?guid=ON"

Take a look at the source code for http://nesica.net/about/

Look a bit similar? That's because it is, but with the links changed to "p-ch.jp" and "http://member.nesica.net/member/login/?guid=ON" being typed as "http://nesica.net/member/login/?guid=ON"

I wonder what's going on, and why this page exists on p-ch.jp

Now, this could just be ATLUS doing a bad job copying and pasting everything, as this is clearly a page in construction, but still, I wonder what's going on. This is really interesting.

Same here. I already ate one when I rubbished the claims that they will announce Persona 5 coming to the PS4 during last year's Tokyo Game Show. How wrong I was=/

All this talk about cabs reminded me: weren't there a couple of arcade games that featured Persona characters? I think one of them was by Square Enix but I'm not too sure.

By the way I just recently saw your reply in that E3 Theatre thread. So you're from Montréal too?

Wow. I see something like this being used for free time in the afternoon, sunny. It doesn't feel as nocturnal as other songs I've heard that would fit night better. It's upbeat and would fit sunny better than cloudy.
