Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers says you can still enjoy the game without having played Persona 5

Man Switch owners were hoping that Persona 5 was going to hit Switch, but it doesn't seem that's happening. Instead, we'll be getting Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, a spin-off title. Should Switch owners worry that they won't enjoy Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers without having played Persona 5? In an interview with Nintendo Dream, Producer Daisuke Kaneda says that's not the case.

“I think those who have not played ‘P5’ or ‘P5R’ will be able to enjoy the story. ‘P5’ has expanded into anime and manga and such, so it’s not just limited to the game. If players have a general understanding of the story through those mediums, I think they’ll be able to enjoy this sequel even more.”
