Capcom’s Shu Takumi has been tweeting up a storm as of late. Takumi recently shared a status update on The Great Ace Attorney’s development, among other things.

One of the most notable pieces of information Takumi shared is that The Great Attorney’s development is complete. In Japan, the game launches on July 9.

Other tidbits Takumi shared:

– Takumi still finds the role of director difficult
– This is because while it’s “his” game, the members of his team are doing most of the work
– It’s hard to ask other people to correct their work to fit his own vision
– Luckily he has a great team and they can all look back at the project with smiles on their faces (despite the “battles” on the dev floor)
– 15 years ago, the Ace Attorney team started out with 7 people, but now it’s around 60

Last but not least, The Great Ace Attorney will be featured on Capcom TV again on June 17. It’s a possibility that Famitsu will have an article during the same week as well.

More details about The Great Ace Attorney – creation of Ryunosuke

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

In Capcom’s latest video for The Great Ace Attorney, director Shu Takumi and producer Shintaro Kojima spoke about the origins of main character Ryunosuke Naruhod. You’ll find a summary of what was shared below, courtesy of Siliconera’s translation.

– Ryunosuke is a university student when the story begins
– He becomes determined to be an attorney after becoming involved with a certain incident
– “Naruhodo” is the Japanese version for “Wright”
– Ryunosuke is the ancestor of Phoenix, and The Great Ace Attorney will tell the tale of how the first attorney of the Wright family came to be, and how it carried on after
– Players will see more traditional garments since the game is set in the Meiji Period of Japan when “defense attorney” was still a new concept
– Initially decided to give Ryunosuke the sharp look of a university student
– This wasn’t an issue, but designing his hairstyle took more time
– Takumi says that he wanted something recognizable from a silhouette
– Given the time period, most people had simple haircuts, and they wouldn’t have wanted to give that to the protagonist
– “Ryunosuke” name was decided on within ten seconds
– As Phoenix’s name in Japanese is “Ryunoichi,” they began writing a list of names they could use, and the very first one was Ryunosuke
– The development team ended up keeping this name until the end
– The concept of Ryunosuke’s character came from the idea of how Phoenix would act and speak if he were living in the Meiji Period
– Since he’s not exactly a proper attorney, you’ll see Ryunosuke display a little nervousness and inexperience, which adds to his character and the setting
