Producer Yoshio Sakamoto and assistant producer Kaori Miyachi took part in the discussion. According to Sakamoto, there weren’t plans for Emio while working on the Famicom Detective Club remakes. However, after seeing Mages work on that release, he “began to seriously think about creating something new again and was motivated to write a new story.”
