It's kind of wild that this guy who joined Capcom as a planner and whose first directing gig was Dino Crisis 2 also happened to turn out to be one of the better writers of video games we've ever had.

This has one solid leg up on Ace Attorney and that's pacing - despite this game being one large "case" I find the pacing in this to be much tighter and more thought out than even the best Ace Attorney cases, even if those could have higher highs.
