Because, somehow, the Internet can't stream 17-minutes videos ? There's nothing preventing that from happening.

I think the NeoGAF investigation team can easily say at this point, that the entirety of Japan will be the next ones thrown in the tv. It's time to pointlessly warn them and prepare to fight Shadow Japan: a lone disappointed japanese father.
Yup, its will not came in DVD that came with magz.
Yeah, this time instead of paying to produce and distribute a 17min DVD with every copy of a Famitsu issue, they're spending it on a 72 hour countdown livestream, an announcement livestream, a talk event livestream, and renting broadcast time on a Sunday evening on 8 public screens throughout Japan.
Yeah, I'm going to take your confidence on that with a grain of salt.
I guess that shows you how much the series has grown.

I reiterate: if this is Persona 4-2 or some direct sequel with the same characters, be it from P4 or previous entries, I will be super pissed. Stop milking your shit Atlus; give us a brand-new Persona 5. It's time.

So what's the countdown until the reveal?
yeah, rock that hype, thanks for the links
Also damn, Nirolak, now it seems totally logical to me that they will broadcast that stuff live out there to the folks because the game will be available for free after the video finishes. Well not really, but why did this just came into my head, ahr.
Sounds like low key announcement in general.
I'd buy 10 copies.
Dem Sega money.
When you put it like that this sounds considerably more expensive than before.
I don't think that's really the only reason. It also shows how much media and fan interaction has changed in the last decade. Back then livestreaming wasn't as big as it is now, and the most effective way to market to the audience would be through the game magazine with the highest circulation in the country. But nowadays live events powered by the internet are much more effective.
It's not that different in the west either, with stuff like the VGAs and various streaming events being the platform of choice to teaser or announce major titles now.
Just look at how many people are tuning in on the Nico Nico streaming event. Over 800,000 so far and it's hardly done anything. Pretty damn effective marketing. >_>;
How many is it for the Japanese side or is that for both?
?OK, am I right? If it's the announcement itself, maybe it'll be worth adding to the OP or something?
Someone did so above and it looked accurate according to the stream countdown.
I think it's both, I recall someone on my Twitter who lives in Japan saying the same number.

I just hope it doesn't have ties to the other games. P4G is the only one I have completed and I'd rather it be it's own thing than a sequel to the fighting games/3 or some shit :d.
In SEGA I trust for a timely EU release.

I'm confused, so the livestream is over? The Twitch re-stream had a giant note saying "THE SHOW IS OVER, FOLKS. GO HOME." before it died just now. Is NicoNico not showing a countdown anymore?
It will probably be on Dengeki Playstation this time.
They turned the stream off for tonight, as it's past midnight in Japan. It's just playing music for now. It'll come back before the reveal later.
It's gone "off-the-air" just like it has before. So no more events and in the place of the countdowns is the test card that can now be seen.

Gotcha, thanks for the info dudes!

Seems like we need to add this to the OP.
Edit: nvm. shit's offline now
Just try later on, too many people on the stream, once it hits a limit it becomes locked to premium. It's why I left mine on all night, lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if Persona 5 had some sort of train theme and ran with the whole "5 = Go" pun.
Heh, yeah. I'm still listening to it. XD
Right now it's off the air and just playing music. It'll come back for the reveal. So you're not missing much. Just keep trying and eventually you'll get in. If you really want to, that is.
Shit, then how are we supposed to watch when it finally goes live?
