Court Records has translated a bunch of details about The Great Ace Attorney from this week’s issue of Famitsu. You can find them rounded up below.

– Baroque/Barock: legendary English prosecutor said to never let a defendant escape
– He’s returning to court after 5 years
– Known as “The Death God of the Old Bailey”
– Took about a year to come up with the name of the prosecutor
– It was originally “Prosecutor Rival”
– There is a proper name origin for the name, but Takumi finds it embarrassing to talk about; he has a different font for “objection” to convey the “English”-ness of him
– Jury Battle: Each of the jury members have their own ideas about the case and you can get the not guilty verdict by finding the contradictions in, and between their ideas
– Ryuunosuke can walk around during the trial as he’s thinking
– The last argument is where you have your last chance to convince the jury of your client’s innocence
– If all jury members decide on guilty, then it’s over
– If there is a majority votes not guilty after the closing argument, you win
– Takumi had considered a multiple-ending game at first, but in the end, settled on this
– During trials, you can question multiple witnesses at once and yell “HANG ON!” if one is acting up, much like PLvsPW
– Special attention has been paid to camerawork, a sense of space and eye movements of the characters
– Case 1: “The Adventure of the Grand Travelers”
– The prosecutor in this case is Taketsuchi Auchi, Payne’s ancestor
– Case one’s waiter witness is named Satoru Hosonaga
– A mysterious, elaborately-dressed woman is also shown without a name
– DLC featuring Ryuunosuke and Asougi will be available 7/9 to 7/19 for free
– The episode is called “Randst Magazine Special Edition”
– It’s called out as a ‘game’, but it’s not clear if it’ll be a full case
– Randst Magazine comes from Strand Magazine, where the original Holmes stories were published
– The game’s limited edition will include a 48-page artbook and 10-track CD
