The Answer (now titled Episode Aigis, just like its Japanese counterpart) has now been announced! With it we got the other half of this artwork... and it turns out that Makoto was looking at Aigis all along 😭

The events in P3 took place near Maruki’s palace
In P5 Royal, there is unused DLC outfit dialogue. When you make Joker wear a Gekkoukan outfit, Ryuji would say this:
Gekkoukan High School’s uniform? Oh, that’s that one school near Odaiba.
Odaiba. Sounds familiar? That’s where Maruki’s Palace was located during the 3rd semester.
Also in the P3 map, you see a stadium. Given the Persona timeline, the stadium that becomes Maruki’s Palace wasn’t built yet because it was still in construction during P5 Royal (a game took place YEARS after the events of P3).
But this is just an interesting thing I felt like pointing out.
The information Ryuji gave us, also means that P3 took place in Tokyo. Thanks Ryuji! ☺️
More thoughts
Maruki’s Palace portrays the themes of Sorrow and Sadness (shown by the Will Seeds), plus the palace theme (Gentle Madman) sounds melancholic. It’s not too dissimilar to some of P3′s themes of depression, grief, and apathy.
P5R’s “bad ending” during the 3rd Semester is also pretty similar to P3′s “bad ending”. The teams’ memories being altered, living in blissful ignorance, not knowing what’s really happening.
In The Answer, Mitsuru mentioned about SEES not being able to reform society. It seems to me that society in Tokyo will become very apathetic (the deadly sin of Sloth) and eventually create Yaldaboath and Mementos in several years. This will become the Phantom Thieves’ problem later on in P5.
