*The special cut-in effect when Joker summons Arsène differs depending on region; if the language is set to Japanese, it is accompanied by the onomatopoeia "{{ja|ブチッ|Buchi}}" (to snap from anger).

This reflects the English localization of ''Persona 5'', which changed the cut-in effect the same way. | *The special cut-in effect when Joker summons Arsène differs depending on region; if the language is set to Japanese, it is accompanied by the onomatopoeia "{{ja|ブチッ|Buchi}}" (to snap from anger).
