Trivia

- Interestingly, both Diego Brando and Stroheim were the first characters to be introduced, having been the most wanted characters not included in the roster for All-Star Battle.
- The game uses most of the sound effects, font, characters models and battle announcer from All-Star Battle.
- Unlike previous games, most of the character's, voice actors, color scheme and clothing match their anime counterparts.
- According to an interview with CyberConnect2' boss Hiroshi Matsuyama, the game will have no paid-DLC and micro-transitions. Moreover, it was said that the story mode for Eyes of Heaven will follow an original story supervised by Hirohiko Araki.
