I was more arguing about how this time we won't have those 17 minutes that we usually get from it being revealed through Famitsu.
For historical reference, this is how Persona 3 and Persona 4 were announced in Japan:
Persona 3 Announcement DVD in Famitsu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouI4EULiwX8
Persona 4 Announcement DVD in Famitsu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJt2ZnL9eTQ
Both were 17 minutes long.
Because the brand is alot more popular these days.
But it doesn't seem Persona 5 will be announced through Famitsu.
It'll either be PS3 or *shudders* 3DS.
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.

Sounds like low key announcement in general.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.

I guess that shows you how much the series has grown.
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. >_>;
If someone can whip up a countdown post which auto-updates, I'll happily put it in the OP. Thanks.
?OK, am I right? If it's the announcement itself, maybe it'll be worth adding to the OP or something?

How many is it for the Japanese side or is that for both?

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.

Shit, then how are we supposed to watch when it finally goes live?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.
there sure is a hidden message, we can solve it if we put all the beginning letters of the songs played together or something, gotta be itThey're going through a good jam list right now at least, not just one CD straight.
