The Ace Attorney games released for the Nintendo 3DS contain a particular pattern of initially presenting a character's gender as male, only to later reveal them as having been female all along. Whether the writers were aware of this trend during development is unknown.
One of the developer illustrations in the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies art book features Miles Edgeworth dressed as Klavier Gavin.
Kristoph Gavin is the only culprit in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney who does not use a gun as a murder weapon.
According to character designer Kazuya Nuri, many different proposals were made for the design of Sherlock Holmes in Dai Gyakuten Saiban, such as "Dark Holmes", "Easy-Going Holmes", "Depressive Holmes", and more.
According to Tatsuro Iwamoto, Buddy Faith (the victim in the first episode of Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth) was modeled after Takeshi Yamazaki. Jacques Portsman from the same episode was also modeled after a staff member, but exactly which one is unknown.
Many of the original designs for Barok van Zieks looked very different than his final design.
Included with the Gyakuten Saiban 6 Official Visual Book is art of Rayfa Padma Khura'in wearing a different outfit than the outfit she wears in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice.
One of the original concepts for Miles Edgeworth's redesign in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies was giving him facial hair.
