GN Version 4.0
- Shu Takumi was reluctant to work on the game in the very beginnin
- Takumi threw himself into the game during the last stretch this year
- Takumi was like a main staff member figuratively and literally
- Takumi felt the cultures between both companies were very different

“It took some time before we could start to say what we truly felt and truly confront each other.”

- Hino admits that his strategy had been to “let Takumi do whatever he wanted” from the very beginning

“There were quite a few times when our staff would raise an issue where we simply couldn’t see eye-to-eye, where I would tell them: ‘Then why don’t we do it how Takumi would want us to do?’ Make things easy for Takumi to work his creative juices.”

- Takumi felt the project was very different from his usual work.
- writing scenes he never would’ve written himself and listening to new ideas was a very interesting experience
- Hino stated that Takumi would have the actors record the lines “Objection!” and “Hold it!” over and over again for two hours
- originally, Ace Attorney’s voices were done by the development staff themselves (and Takumi himself voiced Phoenix)
- they’d record 30-40 trials and choose just the best one
