In an interview with NGamer Magazine, Ryota Niitsuma, a producer over at Capcom, indicated that the R&D team was pulling for Phoenix Wright and Franziska von Karma to be added to the roster as a part of Capcom's team. Niitsuma went on to say that localization problems were the main reason that Phoenix Wright was dropped -

"Because Phoenix Wright only has one move, 'Objection', we struggled. We designed a move for him: when he says objection, the actual writing attacks the opponent. However, 'objection' in Japanese is 'igiari' - it's four characters, where as 'objection' becomes ten. When we localise, the balance of the game gets destroyed because the move becomes bigger. There'd be no way of avoiding it! We had to remove him for these reasons."
