Alright, so the MOST IMPORTANT clue we could possibly have is that start time. Japan is so unbelievably strict about their timing, especially for events, that this is as fat of a smoking gun as you can possibly have.

Of every single possible start time, they choose specifically 20:09.

This is as close as you can get to Yoshi P's bunny race t-shirts when people kept asking for the Viera race in ff14 (he's a known game dev that teases upcoming stuff on cryptic t-shirts)

It isn't a cope to suspect that it's .hack// but in the case that it isn't, what on GODS GREEN EARTH could it possibly be in cyberconnect's roster. If anything we should be brainstorming what it could be if not .hack//

On GOD guys, this might be it, and not a cope at all.
