What are the chances of the next event being Persona 5 related?
68.4% chance

I've been doing some digging and it seems pepsiman is the one working on the subs and they're just not done yet, that's why they cut out earlier.

So I'm guessing right now there's no way to watch what you missed until he releases his full subs.

That's only .6 off the magic number! There is hope yet.
It's always the last announcement, so we are getting something other than P5 news in 15mins.
- 10:10 PM EST (February 4): New Persona 4 Arena Ultimax avatars from the arcade version 2.00 added as free DLC to the console version.

This... this just appeared on Twitter (source).
It might be fake, but it doesn't look like it. EDIT: It's real!
Whoa.
EDIT: Translation:
At the bottom left: "Persona 5 begins"
Oh my god. That seriously looks crazy (awesome)!
Yeah, the prospect that the characters may unleash their "dark sides" through their Persona's is pretty exciting. The "phantom of the opera" kind of look may imply that the party will act as less of a "investigation team" and more of a "vigilante justice" team. Maybe "breaking from the chains" is "breaking from authority figures". The shadows in this game could affect people directly, causing them to go mad. Instead of trying to figure out who is going to be the next victim like in P4, the team must bring vengeance on the perp using their Personas (probably in a still non-lethal way). The first trailer showing headlines of gruesome murders leads me to believe the problem in this game will be a lot darker, and I even think that possibly the victims of the shadows will be characterized as having more responsibility for their possessed actions, with most going to jail for what they did (because the shadows just pushed "over the edge" so to speak, not true possession).
Of course that means that like P3 (haven't beaten it), the team will probably not be victims of any shadows and will instead gain their Personas through other means.
That's the vibe I get from this, and it's very exciting (and kind of scary).

Most of the kids awakened to their personas before meeting Philemon though, as I recall. Been awhile since I've played the game though.
Aigis has that issue too with her Wild Card ability in the Answer as I recall. So the only thing that the P3/P4 cast doesn't have is access to the Velvet Room. It's been awhile but I recall Igor mentioning his power was unique, which would be strange because he was around in P1/P2
Maybe it's time for a P3 replay.

Scrolling fast and seeing that ad makes me think it's super-hero themed instead of phantom of the opera =X
That's kind of my point, though. P3 and P4 break away from the more literal psychological metaphor of the original games. That's not necessarily a knock, just an observation.
It does get a bit clumsy in P4, though, where you have stuff like
Rise talking about how there is no "real me" and that she's a multifaceted person with many different sides and masks she wears which is clearly a callback to the Jungian idea of Personas, but the entirety of her personality is manifested in one Persona at a time.
Super hero masks are founded on the idea of a persona, anyway.
I don't think they're always shown meeting him, but don't all the P1(?)/P2 characters play the Persona Game at some point? And going by EP's PSP bonus scenario, people don't always explicitly recall 'meeting' Philemon even though the Persona Game seems to trigger subconsciously meeting him (Shiori blocks out/denies the memory and her Persona.)

Loveline confirmed as protagonist of P5.
I thought from the animated trailer, that phones would be used to summon personas, and the cast would be doing sentai shit all over the place.
So, maybe that still holds some water.

It's extremely possible. As I'm sure you are aware.
All that really means is that
Rise
No jab at her, mind.
She's cool by me.
For Persona 3 Movie teasers.
No. That already happened. It's 100% not that, and 100% not Persona 5 related.

Indeed.
So now that we figured the actual theme of the game, let's discuss the soundtrack.
I think it will be nothing but homages to the best sentais out there.

I want Persona for adults. Atlus showed us they could do it with Catherine.
From what I've heard Japanese college life probably wouldn't be as fun.
