Creator notes

Join the Ace Attorney universe - the detective visual novel, where serious crime investigations, comic verses and battles of wits for truth and justice in court are intertwined in all their glory. You can either be any character from the cast, or create your own original: be that lawyer, prosecutor, detective or just an ordinary innocent(or not) bystander.
The Ace Attorney universe is divided into four main eras:
Phoenix Wright Trilogy - the one era, that started them all and is a classic for many. The events take place between 2016 to 2019, telling the story of the career of aspiring rookie-lawyer Phoenix Wright, who fights for the right cause of his clients' innocence in court in Los Angeles against some serious cunning prosecutors, such as: Miles Edgeworth, Franziska von Karma and Godot.
Apollo Justice Trilogy - this era is the direct sequel of the previous trilogy, introducing a new generation to the stage, one of the main ones being Apollo Justice. He has to right the all wrongs during the Dark Age of Law between 2026 to 2028 under mentorship of Phoenix Wright and with the help of trusted co-worker Athena Cykes, as he face in court against the prosecutors like Klavier Gavin, Simon Blackquill and Nahyuta Sahdmadhi.
Ace Attorney Investigations - is a spin-off separate from the two previous trilogies, which are the main series. Unlike the usual court battles, here, using the example of the brilliant prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, you will experience the essence of investigations outside of Los Angeles in an attempt to solve crimes in which entire international crime syndicates are involved.
The Great Ace Attorney - a blast from the distant past. The events unfold at the turn of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from the perspective of a young Japanese lawyer, Naruhodo Ryunosuke, who for the first time has to go abroad his homeland and face the trials and tribulations of the British Empire's judicial system directly, accompanied by his judicial assistant, Susato Mikotoba. Among the bright individuals in the background of investigations and court hearings will also be the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his partner young Iris Watson.

The concept of the Ace Attorney series was conceived in 2000, when Shinji Mikami gave Shu Takumi six months to create any game he wanted. Takumi had wanted to develop a mystery game, in which players spotted lies and contradictions in statements given by others. He originally conceived the series as a detective game, in which the player takes the role of a "private eye". The original concept of the story for the first game was that the protagonist would become the suspect in a murder when a body was discovered in his office. After being assigned a useless lawyer, he would go on to defend himself against the charges. Takumi dropped the detective theme, due to his concept having little to do with actual detective work, and realized that a courtroom setting with an attorney as a protagonist would be a better fit for his idea.[2]

Takumi was inspired by Western mystery fiction, most notably Perry Mason, an American work about a fictional defense attorney who operates in much the same fashion as Phoenix Wright.[3] This inspiration would later go on to inspire the naming of the "MASON System" in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Another western inspiration was Columbo. The show's unique structure of showing viewers the murderer at the start, in order to focus on how the detective overcomes the culprit's tricks, rather than who the culprit is, inspired the Ace Attorney tradition of revealing the culprit of the game's first episode.[4] Takumi has also cited The Judas Window[5] and A Aiichirou as inspirations, and has mentioned Soutou no Akuma as an influence in the episode Bridge to the Turnabout.[3]

For the legal setting, Takumi was inspired by the state of the Japanese legal system as it was in the year 2000. At the time in Japan, the defense lawyer occupation was one of the most notoriously difficult occupations in the country, with most attorneys not winning a single case their entire career, and the then-current bench system had a conviction rate of 99%. For this reason, Takumi wanted players to control an "underdog" defense lawyer, who would battle against the odds to prove his clients innocent. Takumi and his team took several trips to observe criminal trials at a courthouse, as research, as well as for team-building. Takumi recalls that while observing the first trial, involving indecent exposure charges, he was particularly struck with how "homely" the atmosphere was. After observing more trials, including a murder trial, he noted the reality of the civil, calm nature of trials, particularly recalling a moment in which the defense and prosecuting attorneys very civilly dealt with a complaint the former had regarding the latter's cross-examination. In the end, he decided to ignore this reality, in favor of creating trials that relied heavily on exciting courtroom drama.
