Expecting something like Yamada Fuutarou's Meiji Dantoudai. Which was awesome.

Well the one on the left definitely somewhat resembles Phoenix, though does anyone else see a resemblance with apollo and the one on the right?. Don't know how I feel about this.
Yes, someone on GAF also said he looks like a mix of Phoenix and Apollo and younger. And I also think he looks like Apollo without antenna hair.

To be perfectly honest, I can't say I like this idea too much. But Takumi is heading the project, so I'm going to be open-minded and optimistic. (I think mostly I just don't want to have to read everyone speaking in Meiji-era Japanese; AA is already tough enough xD)
I also find it kind of hilarious how the protag is a mix of Nick and Polly

It says right in the OP that this is Takumi's project, not the DD one.

Nope, but you'd think so since a lot of the GK crew didn't work on earlier AA games, and that with PLvsPWAA Takumi practically got an entire team from Capcom with him to do the animations and the artstyle as well as a lot of gameplay programming and etc.
I think it's likely Capcom is gonna publish two AA games simultaniously.
--------------------------------------------
My first impressions:
I'm just sad that with how Capcom's been since AAI was being localized and how DD was english-only and digital-only, the chances of this game being localized are slim to none, mostly just because of the cultural difference, unless of course Janet Hsu and her team can succesfully localize this idea into an american or european historic era (DOUBTFUL!)
But anyhow, I like the idea... a bit too... I don't know, 'predictable'(?) that Takumi would go this route after PLvsPWAA. It sounds like it's practically PLvsPWAA2 without Layton in it and a different time-period than when there were witch trials.
Maybe they should've saved Blackquill for this game instead? (my historic knowledge or lack thereof probably shines through here)
But well, I support the idea, totally! Good to see him try to do new things with the IP -- and hey, Awesome they still have Kazuya Nuri doing the artwork! He's the best art director AA has had IMO.

The Meiji angle catches me off guard, but I'm counting on Takumi's story and plotting being tight no matter what.

Oh well.
I feel like the sword is a bit unsubtle. Hopefully it gets justified otherwise it's just an unnecessarily obvious prop.

WHAAAAATTT!!!! This is real, right? Do we finally have news on Takumi's project! Who cares if it's in the Meiji era, it's Takumi's writing, and so it'll be greatly entertaining!

But I agree in saying that it'll be a bitch to localise, if it ever does gat localised, that is. (Here's to hoping it does!!)
Maybe Phoenix has Japanese ancestry?

I actually have a possible route Capcom could take for localization: Instead of moving the setting to Japanifornia like every game thus far, since the setting is so closely tied to Japanese history, it would be a good option to keep the setting in Japan. Names would still be localized as per tradition, but might just be better overall to stop pretending they're not in Japan (as that one Awkward Zombie comic criticizes). Since the only link to the current games that we have thus far is that this is Phoenix's ancestor, they're not bound to anything that those state.
And then it wouldn't be a stretch to say that someone between Ryuunosuke and Phoenix immigrated to Japanifornia to keep things not too inconsistent.

The spelling (kanji) is a bit different and the wording might be a bit archaic, but Meiji/Taishou Japanese isn't that hard if you can read modern Japanese. At least it's readable, in comparison to kanbun! (though there might be more dialectal talk: a lot of the influential persons in the Meiji period came from Kyushu for obvious historical reasons).

Historically, defense attorneys fell under the Shihoushou (Ministry of Justice), and law enforcement officials/people in the military were allowed to carry swords.

Really? So the prosecution and defense would be state-appointed? That's interesting.

And linkenski, it looks like those are Phoenix and Apollo's ancestors. Maybe Blackquill will get one? (I actually doubt it since Simon isn't Takumi's character. Also, it would be lame if every character in this game was an ancestor. I understand using Phoenix to have a connection to past games, but I don't want an ancestor Apollo, Edgeworth, Gumshoe, etc)

If they don't localize it (and I really hope they don't, despite the logistical difficulties I'm about to get into), they're going to have to come up with a sound way to explain why he's a Naruhodou.

Migration happens all the time; it wouldn't be hard to explain. Remember that Japanese-Americans were common enough on the west coast that the US placed them in camps during WWII, "just in case".

This is why I said "names would still be localized, as per tradition". Yes, it would be a little more out of place, but I really wouldn't want to play an AA game without understandable puns for the characters' names.
By the way, isn't this story way older than the Meiji era?

I'm not sure how to react to this...on one hand, it seems like it can be full of possibilities, and on the other hand, it feels fairly limited (fingerprints and luxuries like that are a no-go). One also has to wonder how much of the game will focus on the new protagonist being an ancestor of Phoenix.
It's definitely "completely different" though, I'll say that much, so I'm fairly sure everyone involved has a plan for what the game is going to look like/play like/be about.

We're watching a few episodes of 仁 for Japanese class, and... while Meiji-era speak is manageable, modern Japanese would still be easier xD

That's what I thought, too, but Takumi has shown in PLvAA that he's more than capable of making good mysteries within strange limitations, so I'm going to be optimistic about this one.

On topic - wow, did not see this one coming, but that's really interesting! I can't help but get a few vibes of PLvsPW from the concept; I'm looking forward to seeing what Takumi can do with a true "historical mystery".
Hi! I've largely stepped back from C-R due to life stuff. Please contact one of the other staff members for help!
