Really not looking forward to the next few years of not being able to answer "WHAT FONT THIS" on the Bemani Font Thread.

As a librarian, I like the look of those bookcases in the background!

(At least I'm assuming they're bookcases?)

2019 marks IIDX’s 20th anniversary.

---

So this means, they're going back to their roots? But based on the background, I say that the theme will revolve around shapes and polygons.

---

I love it, obvious call to Roots 26, should have seen some sort of name like this coming lol.

---

I've also noticed that the main colors of the columns in the background are cyan, magenta, yellow, and a certain shade of black, which are the colors used in the CMYK color profile.

---

CMYK is used in printing, right? Then perhaps the bookcases appearing in the background can be plausible.

---

Looks less like books and more like printer ink cartridges.

Math, geometry, shapes, polygons, and lines as well? XD

---

Was really hoping for a planes theme. That way we would have Planes, Trains & Automobiles.

I understand that it's been a year since CANNON BALLERS was announced, but I feel like it's still too early for a new game. I mean, the Air Race event still needs its third EXTRA STAGE for Bayside -Emerald-. And most of the recent IIDX games have had two different unlock events. CANNON BALLERS only had one. But if KONAMI feels like they're ready for a new game, I'm still down for it because in the end, IIDX is still an amazing franchise.

Heh, wonder what surprises they have for this one.

They're gonna bring back a song from 1st style but it's gonna be Be in my paradise

iidx 25 hasn't lasted one year and a new one is announced already? Hmm. I was initially convinced this was fanmade by a serious graphics designer.

What could the theme be this time though? I think those are bookshelves in the background but I can't be certain yet.

---

IIDX has about 1 year between versions most of the time, so the first location test happening now isn't strange (in fact, it's later in the year than the past few versions other than Cannon Ballers).
