UPDATE: As pointed out on Destructoid, this image is from last year's Persona Music Live event, likely indicating a disc release of the concert (see below image). My hopes were up for a second there.
Atlus, choosing not to deviate from their current MO, has taken out a teaser ad in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu in Japan in order to tease... something Persona-related.The ad in question (viewable below) depicts the main characters of the most recent Persona iterations: the main character from Persona 3 (Minato Arisato in the official manga), Shin Kanzato from Persona: Trinity Soul, and the main character from Persona 4 (Souji Seto in the official manga).On the side of the page, "全ての人の魂に捧ぐ..." is written, which roughly translates to "an offering for the souls of all people..."
Other than that, there is no mention of a website, a possible reveal date, or anything else. Some have speculated on a new PSP enhanced port of an existing Persona title, but given the fact that the ad features the newer protagonists rather than any nostalgia pieces, I would imagine we will see something new.Yes, I am reporting on an ad. Again. Atlus is pretty good at this teasing business.Speculations?
In the latest issue of Famitsu, Atlus Japan has placed a 2-page spread ad of... a cat!Okay, so the cat is black and it is totally looking at the moon. And there's some text there too. Roughly translated it says "On the Day Yin and Yang are bound together, a new incident will be revealed." It also gives a URL ...which is conveniently obscured by the lighting on the photo of the page. =(I think it says www.newmoon.co.jp. Which is, if you go there, a page that says "under construction" in Japanese. Looking at the HTML source code reveals... nothing! (I already checked.)UPDATE: Thanks to some internet matlock at Gamekyo, the website has been revealed to actually be www.new-moon.tv, however, the end result is the same. The website is definitely made to look like the ad in the magazine, but only says that the site cannot be accessed at this time and to check back later (read: "under construction").At the bottom of the ad it says that details will be revealed on August 1st, in this magazine (referring to Famitsu).Is this the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 RPG in development? Or is it something... else?We have no idea, but we think there will be a black cat in it. Somewhere. ...Yeah, pretty sure about that.UPDATE 2: Atlus' new-moon.tv website has updated! It now features the same black cat, and a large purple countdown clock which is currently pointing to next Friday (as the ad mentions). In addition, if you sit and watch the clock for a little while, some of the numbers will sporatically be substituted for a sillhouette of a Megami Tensei demon. (In just the minute and a half I watched it, I could clearly identify Jack Frost, Lamia, Oni, and a few others.) There is little doubt now that the game is indeed a Megami Tensei title of some sort. Past that, though, we're still just guessing.Check out the ad below.
P.S. If someone has/finds a better quality scan, please let me know in the comments so I can get that up. Thanks. ;)
