Despite how stuff shirt Japan is in real life, I often wonder how they manage to get fans to participate in this stuff. I mean where do you have to be to find this and be a part of the action?

I'd heard of this game and I'm familiar with the finale of the original Dragon Quest but I had no idea that was the plot here. Anime hyper

This is in a very busy station so I imagine a lot of people are just passerbys that wanted to help. Others may have read the press release Sony and Square Enix put out a few days before.

Well, when you have a population density like Japan, I guess no matter where you might go you're bound to find something. I wonder if that's the same station that had a promotion a couple of years back. Was it for Bayonetta (or something else)?

That would be fun to do. It would bring hype that just isn't possible with screenshots and promotional videos.
