Boeboe: Will PW3 be released in Europe or not?
Matsukawa-San: It will be out on 3rd October
Boeboe: What do you think about European gamers importing games from the States or Japan? Especially with PW3 being endlessly delayed, breaking the storyline for PW fans that don't import their games.
Matsukawa-San: I'm sorry if the storylines have been spoilt. We are doing our best to localise the language to each region so you can play the games exactly how we wanted you to.
Boeboe: Not wanting to ask for any specifics about the releasedate: will perfect proscecutor be released in Europe (almost) simultaniously with America?
Matsukawa-San: I can't really say for now. However, as you may have noticed Capcom is very susceptible to fan voices so if you make enough noise...we'll hear you!
Boeboe: PW suddenly made the whole very Japanese "graphical novel" genre popular in the Western world. Can we expect similar games translated to English in the future?
Matsukawa-San: I'm absolutely delighted to hear that Phoenix Wright made such a cultural impact! It was a challenging task but it was obviously well worth the effort. However, at the moment I would imagine it would be hard to come up with 'similar' games and the PW series will be the one and only of this calibre.
ironlunch: When might we see new info on the next Ace Attorney game?
Matsukawa-San: I don't know...
ironlunch: Will the next game in the series feature a new defense attorney?
Matsukawa-San: I don't know about this either, but what I can be sure is that popular character are bound to show up again if there was the next game...
ironlunch: Are there any plans for an Ace Attorney game or spin-off to be developed for other systems (like WiiWare)?
Matsukawa-San: Not at all.
ironlunch: Will we ever get to play as Phoenix again?
Matsukawa-San: Maybe, maybe not
ironlunch: Is the upcoming Turnabout Prosecutor game part of a series? Or...will there be a sequel to it?
Matsukawa-San: It is the Ace Attorney series for sure, but will have signicantly different features. We can't say much for the sequel to this, we'll have to see, don't we.
Takagi-kun: Have you ever considered expanding the Ace Attorney universe and story in other media such as animated series, in a similar fashion to other Capcom games such as Devil May Cry or Viewtiful Joe?
Matsukawa-San: There are several projects currently ongoing/planned. The most prominent currently is the Special Court Orchestra.
Takagi-kun: In Japan, Ace attorney music concerts are quite popular. Do you think it would be possible to have one of these concerts held in the US or Europe in the future if the fan base is numerous enough?
Matsukawa-San: If there are enough people who would like to attend then sure, why not!
Takagi-kun: The first three Ace Attorney games for the Game Boy Advance were Japan-only releases. What made you change your mind and release the DS versions in western markets?
Matsukawa-San: Because the fans wanted them. We have heard from so many people that they wanted to play all of the series.
Takagi-kun: Was there any specific reason to release Apollo Justice before Trials and Tribulations in Europe while in the US it was the other way around?
Matsukawa-San: People wanted to play Apollo Justice with all the new characters more than Trials and Tribulations at that time.
Takagi-kun: What is, in your opinion, the biggest quality of the Ace Attorney games?
Matsukawa-San: I would say the characters and the story...but most weight would be on the characters' uniqueness. Obviously the characters and the stories related to them are all connected so the best quality of Ace Attorney is what these elements orchestrate.
Gravy On Toast: Will we see many familiar characters in TP? (I know Edgeworth, and Gumshoe are there, but is there anyone else?)
Matsukawa-San: This is actually soon to be announced. More and more information regarding this will be released in the near future so look out!
Gravy On Toast: Will we ever see Phoenix & Maya again?!
chyiochan: I want phoenix and Maya to be seen again so badly. You built up their friendship, and I think they deserve something more.
Matsukawa-San: Capcom is a company that is influenced by the voices of fans, almost too much so. So, if the fans out there make enough hype and noise about it...you know the drill!

I don't like teasing but I hope Phoenix does come back to the Defense bench, It'd make for an epic final case. The PhoenixXMaya teasing floats my boat too (shameless PXM shipper)

I wonder if they've done anything at all on GS5?
'ronlunch: Will the next game in the series feature a new defense attorney?
Matsukawa-San: I don't know about this either'
Haven't even committed to Apollo?
Scary thing is that out of the GS5 questions the Phoenix and Maya stuff is the least ambiguous answer, ambiguous as it is. WANT.
So, all we know is that a GS5 would feature some characters from past games, but not necessarily Apollo or Phoenix...

I stick to my five-case theory, which has a (in my opinion) perfect balance between Apollo's character development and fanservice with old characters.
That would be fanservice that would ruin the game possibly even worse than the previous one did.
Seriously, Phoenix needs to step aside.

Getting rid of Apollo would be so damn stupid, he's hardly become an Ace Attorney in one game. And what about loveable Trucy, Klavier etc?
I really hope they stick with Apollo.

After what they did to Phoenix in game 4, they can't just abandon him now.
However, he and Apollo kind of need separate cases.. or separate games. They cramp each other's space, fulfillment and characterisation.
Resolution of Phoenix with Maya and Edgeworth is fanservice that is needed!

It can be very easy. Five cases, Phoenix doing one (and maybe a half), the rest is all about Apollo.
Or Phoenix doesn't even have to be playable.
What about Apollo does really need to get some information (safe code, hidden place or whatever) from a victim, he askes Phoenix, then Phoenix introduces him to "someone very special to him", and you know the rest.
It doesn't even clearly have to say that Phoenix and Maya love each other, and they are a couple.
Suggestions similar to 3-5 are enough (those are very very strong suggestions anyway).

I wish, but I think they won't bother. GK, although sorely wanted, is a cover for the fact they're doing nothing on GS5. Although maybe they'll mention that 'it will one day exist'?

I've come to the conclusion that Phoenix and Apollo together cramp each other's style, character and potential.
There's no going past the fact that Phoenix is infinitely more compelling and captures the audience's attention, whether to positive or negative ends, whenever he's onscreen.
Also, working together on cases is difficult because it's not like Phoenix needs Apollo's help [he never needed him to solve cases, he just wanted a pawn to manipulate who still had a badge!] Phoenix helping Apollo just continues Apollo's incompetence. It's hard for him to become a Mia-type mentor because he's alive and can still be a lawyer himself.
Also, any time devoted to either is at the expense of the other. I mean, for Apollo to appear we sacrificed the existence of Phoenix's relationships with his best friends Maya and Edgeworth, which sure was grossly inconsistent with his character traits and totally unbelievable. (Oh and his career too, obviously... and making him a 'hobo'.. and the entire 3-5 ending...)
[Slightly OT, but if they just brought back 'presenting character profiles to other chars' they could very easily make up for the characters development generally lacking in game 4. Relationships between characters and what they think of each other can be established without them even meeting.]
Separate case/s, possibly which link into each other. Or just split the roles. Hey, send Phoenix out for an 'investigation phase' which can be hijacked into rectifying that problem of GS4 - we know that Maya and Edgeworth have not really been irrelevant to Phoenix's life the last 7 years and probably got him that jurist system coup, so just make this obvious in the canon of GS5 please. He can investigate with/visit Maya and visit Edgeworth and pick up something useful in their investigation which can be used by either him or Apollo in court. (No more MASON System investigations, please.)
Maybe Apollo can get kidnapped and held hostage :)
Szabu wrote:

Um, no. Those suggestions involved running across a burning bridge, and a massive irrational emotional breakdown in court, which I don't think will be replicated here.
But in 2-4 Phoenix says Maya is the person closest to him, and if he just repeats that here, it will prove their friendship hasn't been mysteriously discarded by the writers.
Some kind of indication that Maya and Edgeworth supported him through the last 7 years would be essential too, because otherwise it makes no sense. Or if they've been dead/missing/in a coma for the last 7 years, they should at least say so. I mean, even when somewhat-minor Larry didn't appear in game 2, they made up some thing about how he'd been in Nepal [?] with some weird girlfriend and that was why we hadn't seen him. (And here I was just assuming he was offscreen, because he wasn't as fundamental to Phoenix as Maya and Edgeworth were.)
Now, they could take this fanservice to another game - like a GK2, or even some other type of media, though they're not big on animes, though I guess they could do a slightly more serious sprite thing like they show at TGS but with more plot explanation.

Although I think a different team is developing GK, I think this statement is somewhat truthful.

Which is why they need to give Apollo a chance to grow and become just as likable. I can see where TT left no room for Phoenix to grow as an attorney, which is why we have Apollo in the first place, but give him a chance. I read somewhere that the producers made Phoenix be in the game, originally the plan was for all new cast of characters. I wonder how the fans would have reacted to that?

Which is why Phoenix needs to either be gone or have very limited role in the next game.

I was really mad that they did not include this feature. I always liked to see other characters reaction to the profiles.

I think we've had enough of characters getting kidnapped in this series.

Not until they resolve the mess they made of his life in GS4. 3-5 was a good resolution for him and 4-4 was bad. I want them to rectify the 'missing' relationships with Maya and Edgeworth and give him some kind of more positive future. (And I don't mean taking piano lessons. Such a waste of his talents.)
Though curiously enough, they didn't even commit to Apollo definitely in that interview. Who knows what they'll do...

I don't really see how Phoenix's story really needs to be "resolved" after 4-4. Maybe to some fans he'll never be the same until he's lawyering again, but I didn't think Phoenix gave much indication in AJ that he was truly unhappy in what he was doing. He has a daughter that he loves, and job that fits his erratic work ethic. Phoenix didn't become a laywer because he has a love of the law, after all - he did it because he wanted to help people. If he can be just as useful by aiding Apollo, I don't see that he would be desperate to be back in law.
In fact, I would say that 4-1 pretty much proved Phoenix has given up on that prospect.

I'd like to see the "presenting profiles as evidence" return too, that was great.
If its a different team working on GK, surely they can do GS5 at the same time? It was announced in 2007 wasnt it?

Think about it: If Phoenix got his badge again, we could even have GS8! That's enough fanservice for a whole series. Maybe for two whole series.
I mean, why AJ? They could as well have finish Gyakuten Saiban in GS4, instead of introducing a new character that doesn't have any relation to any Phoenix era character, except Phoenix and Ema, as a MAIN character.
So, if GS5 happens (and it will), it would be great to finish everything there. With that, I mean:
-Apollo's real father. Is he really dead? Who was him? We know he was a performer, but nothing else.
-Drew Misham's fascination on Phoenix and Apollo. I think there is more than "he was so calm even when his badge was taken off him". I THINK.
-The Feys. I think this is THE topic. After all, the Feys were the main topic of Ace Attorney, Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations. How is Maya doing in the Master of Kurain position? What happened to Pearls? And to Morgan?
-PhoenIris (or something like that). What REALLY happened between Phoenix and Iris?
-Lotta. Where the hell is she?
That is it.

I agree with the plea for Maya. Morgan was probably executed.
Iris: was strongly implied to be over post-3-5 by the writers. Ship them if you like, but the official line didn't seem to support much possibility of a canon relationship. And Iris was in jail when he was disbarred, remember. Larry had more hope, still being in Hazakura, maybe.

Am I the only one that wants GS5 to be the last game in the GS series?
Quite probably. :D
I think only giving Polly two games would be Capcom throwing up their hands and saying 'Ok, this didn't work.' But the sales were good, and most of the fanbase was happy with AJ, so it's not going to happen. (Yes, I know it seems that the fans are negative towards the game, but that's generally because they're louder. The CR poll showed that the majority of the people who'd finished it by that time liked it.) Obviously we'd need a more current poll to be sure, but here is the poll which is re-calculated to ignore the people who didn't have it or didn't finish it.
Beat it, LOVED it! 1,816 (65%)
Beat it, thought it was good 730 (26%)
Beat it, thought it was average 171 (6%)
Beat it, it SUCKED 54 (2%)
Beat it, didn't like it 41 (1%)
Much less haters than it appears. Couple it with the scores from the press, and you can see that CAPCOM have nothing to worry about. XD

There's a difference between 'thought game was okay but had some problems with continuity/as a follow-up to original trilogy' and 'hated it'. Anyway, regardless of the reaction of people happening to visit the CR homepage during the poll or of Western fans overall, the reaction of the Japanese fanbase is all that Capcom will take into account, I'm sure of this. [Sales figures != fan reaction to game. I'd have no idea of fan reaction to the game. I heard there were some outspoken critics but naturally no idea what amount. The Edgeworth game seems to have been directly motivated by fan reaction though.]

Actually, his future seems to be up in the air at the end, he doesn't seem to have any job. The piano/poker thing seemed to end after 4-1, the jurist thing seemed to be temporary, and though we'd assume Edgeworth or whoever pulled significant strings to get him that job may be able to get him more, nothing is committed to at the end of the game.
At 4-1 he'd definitely given up on ever being a lawyer again, but now the option is re-opened maybe he can consider the position. (And kind of hints he may do so in the credits. At the credits the writers are obviously keeping their options open.)
I'm not sure he can be 'just as helpful' aiding Apollo - he really wasn't much of a mentor to him, Apollo was just his pawn for what he couldn't implement himself. They can't use him as another Mia. And there isn't a fluffy 'family' relationship between them either - Phoenix didn't seem to have a very high opinion of Apollo.
In fact, procrastinating over what exactly they should do with Phoenix is possibly why they're delaying so long on any serious attempt at GS5? Does anyone else think this? They seem to be buying as much time as possible with GK, so probably they won't be motivated to work enough to release info on GS5 until well after GK is on sale. *sigh* so damn long to wait.

I am 99% sure the line is deliberately completely ambiguous. It means maybe he will take the bar exam and maybe he won't. It gives the writers room to do whatever in GS5, including leave Phoenix entirely, have him be a lawyer, or have some other role.
LOL parody sig trend. Phoenix/Maya Day is Sept 5!

I'd like to see more of the old characters again, but only if that's the way the dev team want to play it. Otherwise things could get very messy indeed.

I think "we listen to what the fans want" is a stock response by any game maker,
I don't know if for any game maker, but for Capcom, surely.
I mean, every time fans ask about a new game or fanservices or cameos or whatevs, they say "I don't know, but if you fans make enough noise, we might make what you want to shut you up."
Personally, I don't like game making companies being too influenced by fans. That way, some games become 100% fanservice, which becomes tiring.

The ambiguity of the interview suggests to me they are still in the planning stages if they've even started on the game at all. The promise of the return of popular characters worries me somewhat as well.
