- the four writers and the character designer lodged together for four days and three nights
- this was for a brainstorming session
- this is when they came up with the “impactful event”

- with Phoenix, it took much more time to grasp his character
- the team wanted to create a Phoenix that inherited his traits from Apollo Justice
- they also brought back some of his “youth” from Trials and Tribulations
- Kokone Kizuki's name comes from a play on words for “to notice things” and “listening to the heart or soul”

- she's a defense attorney working under Phoenix
- her first design was extremely sci-fi-esque
- the monitor (named “Monita”) hanging from her neck is what enables the special “Heart Scope” function

- These emotions would hold the key to seeing through the various preconceptions and prejudices of people dragged into such an extreme situation
- the staff are aware that there will be much resistance to new voice actors and sounds
- they still feel it's important to change things
- the staff wanted the game sequences to work with the anime scenes

- he considered characters that were not only very popular but also those who would fit into the story

- Shingo is quite eccentric
- he has red/blue goggles that bug out and a wrist computer he uses to talk with
- no voice acting
- Kokone will pull out *her* wrist computer called the Heart Scope
- this lets players see emotions when another character testifies
- it can detect happy, sad, surprised, and angry
- Shinobu should have felt happy or relieved because she wasn’t injured during the bombing, but she was sad
