FYI - P5 Royal is NOT canon

[Sardorim]

P5 Strikers is the official stated sequel to Persona 5.

Nothing in Royal is in Strikers.

So rest assured, Makoto fans. Your waifu is the unofficial official canon waifu of Joker with how much the game P5 and Strikers ships them and gives them exclusive romantic scenes that you cannot skip.

I don't see any reason it isn't canon, nor is that anyone's decision to make except for Atlus (if you have a source on that, feel free to share). Your only evidence is that the Royal additions weren't in Strikers, which is a *really* poor argument seeing as they were developed at the same time and released only a few months apart. Royal also wraps up its new additions on its own, so its not like theey are glaring omissions from Strikers.

The striker joker did not do the Maruki confidant.

Oh thank god!

I don't really care about the rest of what you said though.

Basically this. A reminder for those who forgot, or for those who never knew in the first place, but: Persona 4 Golden came out after the Arena games, and despite none of the Golden changes being mentioned in them, Yosuke directly mentioning the events of Arena in the epilogue.

Uh no. Strikers doesnt say anyone is the canon romance. There is no romance in P5 Strikers.

[Arifufu]

Persona 5 Strikers = Persona 4 Arena, in this game also no mention of Marie from Golden,

Persona 5 ??? not release yet = Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, we need a new squel to combine Strikers and Royal story.

Persona 5 and persona 5 royal take place in different timelines and both are cannon. Also strikers messed up because the PT doesn't have their evolved persona's. It makes sense why Joker doesn't have his, but come on.

Makoto simps are so insecure.

This, There's litterally no reason for Yoshizawa and Maruki to be in Strikers as far as character development and narrative goes, so it's the the only logical explanation.

Hell, I still wish they would go back and add "Take Over", "Throw Away Your Mask" and "I believe" with Maruki and Yoshizawa as DLC for P5D. But they won't.

I'd buy that if it was released as DLC.

Royal is as Canon as P3 Fes and P4 Golden, just cause they didn't bring everything from Royal forward doesn't mean it didn't happen, any one that says other wise at this point is wrong

[nfinite.recursion]

Of course P5 Strikers is canon. If Atlus said it wasn't, then they'd be validating everyone saying that it was just another <franchise> + "Dynasty Warriors" cash grab that a number of other games were doing at the time.

[prudenut]

Isn’t this the same thing as saying hyrule warriors or age of calamity is canon?

[nfinite.recursion]

Absolutely.
