Oh, you're talking about the 21:00 slot on the 17th?
In which case, no, that's wrong
(ok, not entirely, but I do have a few counterpoints.)
Firstly, the segment doesn't have to last an hour. If you remember the last streams, very few events ran for the full time until the next one. It could last anything from 5 minutes to 55 minutes.
Secondly, you underestimate the ability of Japanese streamers to fill time with nothing of interest.
Thirdly, they do have things to talk about: the "hunt for the phantom thieves" event, the schedule for the rest of the stream, and TGS stuff in general.
Admittedly, the main difference between this stream and the other two is that we have the human hosts from almost the start, rather than just Teddie, so it might run in a slightly different format. In addition, they're actually being upfront about Persona 5 for once. Still, I think that segment will be mostly filler, as per usual for these sorts of events.
Interesting points, but I have to kinda object to this one:
Like you state, this isn't solely a live stream with pre-recorded footage like News Flash! was at the start, but it's also happening live. There is no way they do a 1 hour countdown to the segment of the two hosts only to end it 10 minutes later... well, unless Atlus is doing the thing that they do again.
Because the segment is called the "main program," I have to think that it's not a misnomer and that it actually will fill out the time until Lotus Juice's radio show.
And...

And...
...this isn't even to mention September 18th, which is a giant question mark right now, yet has still been confirmed to feature a variety of Persona related content. It's different when a stream doesn't involve people, so they can throw endless video loops at us, but now that actual hosts are there for shows, they won't just be discussing the same things you mention in point 3 for September 17th and September 18th.
They might show a new Persona 5 trailer and just analyze it like they did last year... Unless that's already included in the PSC timeslot.

I think the 18th will be the standard Teddie hosted filler stuff: top characters, random clips from the games, bad poetry, stuff like that. Maybe with something big to close the day though. Too early for a Falling Down abridged thing?
also: there's no mention of the 21:00 segment being live. In fact, since the 10:00 segment on the 19th is actually stated to be from TGS, I think it's a safe bet that the 21:00 one therefore won't be, and will be prerecorded like regular stalker club stuff, or at least from a studio.

I'll give you this one; that would fit the "variety of Persona content" description. I think it would be a bit weird, though, seeing how that segment will be succeeded by a 4 hour live countdown from TGS, which sounds like it would amount to the same thing.
I did consider this for the previous reply. That's also a good point, but there's also the part where it still involves people and not Teddie or something. It's definitely not a regular PSC thing; I absolutely believe they're keeping that for the final Persona focused segment on the 19th.
Talking about the retailer campaign and about the upcoming TGS schedule, huh... That's definitely possible.

I think stuff like this will fill out quite a bit of the schedule. The tweet that showed the new P5 poster was pulled pretty quickly, and combined with the fact that it promised more information next week, makes me think that stuff like the "hunt for the phantom" won't really be isolated events. Kinda like the multiple cities back in 2013, I'm guessing they'll have a couple different little promotional events for P5 based on a "thieves on the run" kind of idea. And then to fill out the countdown, they could just cut to "reporters in the field" to see what the Phantom has gotten up to.
I wonder if it's likely that PV02 will just be part of one of the countdown segments, and end up being played more than once alongside the previous Persona 5 trailers. That sounds like something that could happen, thinking back to the previous Persona streams they had.
And yeah, the Persona 5 campaign and how it relates to that specific time frame is the main thing I'm thinking about. A scripted event which the live stream segments will interact with? Hm.

The hunt could be fun to follow. If it's a more expanded version of what they did at Super Live.
Wonder if they've stolen a feature from Famitsu again, or if it's something bigger. Maybe they steal the trailer from Sony's show, which is why P5 won't be there
That would be a great fake out. Trailer about to start then the Phantom and his crew steal it.
I was thinking that they might do that too. Seems like the kind of thing that would happen.

That poster also confirms a Persona 5 manga adaptation.

Are we looking at the same poster...?
It's more like everything can potentially explode on those dates, which is more than we've ever gotten since PV#02.
What I'm most interested in is that Hunt for the Phantom Thieves promotion that's going to happen. I kinda want to know more about what that entails than a new trailer.

You know, I really thought I beat Persona 4, until I discovered (endgame spoilers)
I wish SP restoring items were more common, I could use just one more soma. >.<;;;
Well, hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult. Has anyone ever really struggled with managing SP throughout P4's story?
there's still more beyond Adachi and Amano-sagiri.

Only in dungeouns. Only ever used soma for boss fights since yukiko heals like no one can. And only needed to use it once because Godhand baby.

Trailer for the Persora Awards DVD which is coming out soon. It's a Stalker Club spinoff thing focused on the misheard lyrics segment.
It sucks that their marketing stuff (or at least PSC) isn't as smart as their actual games.
The show is really, really weird, but sometimes it can be quite funny. The ghost stories from the last episode made me giggle more than I would like to admit, but it doesn't really make sense to watch the show if you don't know Japanese.
The picture that Soejima drew them for their DVD was nice at least.
Yes, this year has already been too awesome for me, I am just curious to see/hear more details.
How can you guys even be saying this if I presume you don't understand what they're actually saying...?
Yes, it is very popular with the Japanese audience and each episode gets multiple hundreds of thousands of views on Niconico.

pretty sure the voice clip we heard sounded female. and the name Morgana sounds female.
Morgana is written モルガナ (mo-ru-ga-na). The name isn't Japanese and as far as I know exclusively female.
NickWright
Member
It's a pretty common name for female enchantress-like characters. So yeah, it's likely that Morgana is a female cat. ... I guess.
I'm sure she'll get a human form like Teddie.

Atlus pls
Now that I think about it, I wonder if fata morganas will factor into the story at all. They're basically a type of mirage that makes it look like there's a huge landmass floating in the sky that got their namesake from sailors thinking that the illusion was caused by Morgana trying to lure them to their deaths.

Someone's already posted what she may look like as a human earlier in the OT.

I wouldn't be too sure about that,
she already has 2 forms like Teddie (including 1 that'd let her operate in the normal world), three would be a bit much

Well, they might do that with the cut down versions at least, would be neat if we got Falling Down abridged too.
We'll certainly be getting another trailer marathon for all the recent games. They seem to like doing those.

Did we ever get this confirmed or is this another case of "X has a distinctive voice so it's probably them" like with Phantom?
