- Hints at the possibility of one of those classic TGS GS trailers...

Lack of playable demo is a bit of a shame (when's this thing coming out, anyway...?) but otherwise, good to get TGS confirmation!

Awesome, and unless that's concept art only it's looking like Takumi's going with a 2-d style again. Can't wait.

If only I wasn't avoiding spoilers.

It certainly is a setting/time period with a lot of potential. I bet at least one defendant will be a former Samurai who can't accept the loss of his status and has resorted to drink and brawling. We might also see Victor Kudo's ancestors and the Fey clan...heck, maybe even Ami Fey herself!

Cool beans.

If only I wasn't avoiding spoilers.

I hope they don't overuse it, though. The judge can be the same looking judge as always, that's fine and a series trademark. Ami Fey or another Fey character is also fine, because in the original trilogy the Fey clan and their prestigious members were always mentioned. But I don't want to see a Payne ancestor in the first case, followed by a Von Karma/Edgeworth ancestor as the main rival, while you try to rescue the Butz ancestor who was witnessed by the Lotta Hart ancestor doing some shady stuff, while in reality he was only stalking an Oldbag ancestor who he thought was a Cindy Block ancestor...

I agree with you, although I would be amused if they threw in a teenage Oldbag (just to imply that she's that old)

Hmm, did they ever show spoilers during the GS presentations at the TGS? I can't remember any.

I think the Fey clan was founded way before DGS. Why would they Fey clan be only a little over 100 years? That makes no sense.

While they can't really reuse any of DD's 3D models, chances are that TGAA will at least utilise its engine. So I very much doubt the game will use sprites. I will certainly miss them, though.

I'm very curious to see how this game will turn out. The Meiji Restoration was a rather turbulent time in Japan's history, since a lot of changes took place in a relatively short time frame. The whole European/Anglo-American style of judicial and legal systems was a rather radical departure from the feudal system that existed before that. I imagine a big theme of the game will be skepticism over these changes and the process of discovery as to how things are supposed to work.
