In the first design, he had large frills that went down to his thighs. The older Edgeworth in Dual Destinies went through many iterations. The design team added the iconic cravat to make a distinct silhouette but did not finalize that addition until von Karma's design was. When Shu Takumi saw the second version of the character, he was struck with inspiration and created the backstory between him and Wright. In Edgeworth's original design, he was going to be a 36-year-old veteran prosecutor, but the staff decided that was not interesting enough as a rival. After the first game, when Takumi saw a comic depicting Edgeworth liking the Steel Samurai, he decided that a more likable Edgeworth would be "cuter", and so Edgeworth was fleshed out into the valuable friend and ally seen since Farewell, My Turnabout. This is seen in Manfred von Karma raising Edgeworth to be a prosecutor and then prosecuting him for murder, just to have his revenge against Edgeworth's father. In the original game, Takumi designed Edgeworth to be an unlikable and tragic character. Edgeworth's character came together once Takumi decided he would be rich. Edgeworth has also made appearances in extended Ace Attorney media, such as film and animation, as well as several cameo appearances in titles outside of the main Ace Attorney series.Īccording to Shu Takumi, Edgeworth was difficult to develop as a character compared to Wright. Following the events of the first game, the character has a change of heart and reappears as a friendly rival in a minor capacity in most of the subsequent titles in the series.ĭue to the character's popularity, universally positive critical reception, and status as a breakout character, Edgeworth went on to star in two of his own spin-off games, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (2009) and its sequel. Initially introduced as a cold-hearted perfectionist, he appears as the antagonistic rival to main character Phoenix Wright in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2001).
