Based Amazon heard my pleas, and my copy arrived early. 
However, I'm still playing through Trials and Tribulations.

Well, he was said to be the director and writer prior to the release of the game (for example, FamiTsû here, and Dengeki Online there). I wasn't aware there had been an interesting credit switcheroo around the time of the release. Quite interesting, indeed, as nobody is credited for the scenario! Did Capcom try to pretend for a while that Takumi's role was the same as before? Did the staff change at some point during development? Was there an Alan Smithee situation?Datschge said:
His posts on the official blog make it sound like he wrote the game, and his "scenario gensaku" credit there is the closest thing to a "writer" credit I could find for that game... I don't know...
I knew he wasn't involved, but he's not even mentioned as original creator anymore, really? Damn, that's harsh.

I am on the third case, and have been for roughly a month. :\ Thanks to a medication I am on, playing my DS makes me sleepy for some reason.Fantastical said:

I have one criticism with games like this.
Once it's over, that's it.
I get so into this game that I don't want the game to end! But that's a compliment to the game because it's that good!
I'm a little over half way now. Guess I have to enjoy it while it lasts.

Wish I could erase my memories and start again

I am actually replaying through the series for the second time. I told myself that I couldn't play Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, until I do so.LiK said:

I am expecting it to be. Oh Edgeworth...LiK said:
Played about an hour or two and I'm on the second chapter.
Since I don't feel like writing a paragraph on my impressions, I'll just do long steam-of-consciousness sentence. Fun game, missile is cool, good art-style and animation, damn you fake-out cameo from "you know who" in the middle of the second chapter, music is Ace Attorney goodness, already having more fun with this than I did the last two Ace Attorney titles, interesting puzzles so far, Missile is awesome, Missile just wants to say WELCOME!, and that's it.

You better be wrong. More sprites? Pfft, I have barely tapped into my current Ace Attorney .gif stockpile. Though more can't hurt.
There was a director and two planners though. Honestly I'm still trying to figure out why Capcom got Mitsuru Endo to direct GS4 when Takeshi Yamazaki worked with Takumi on Case 5 in the DS version of GS. Endo didn't even return for Gyakuten Kenji either since they finally did put Yamazaki in charge. Hopefully whatever happened during the development of GS4 doesn't repeat though, it still remains my least favourite entry in the series. It's the only story in the series that I wish wasn't canon. >_>Erigu said:

I think I have to pick Edgeworth up after Ghost Trick!LiK said:
Should I also get 999? I'm also thinking about ordering Last Window but I don't know if I want to pay $60 for it!
Same here.jj984jj said:
Just found an interview where Takumi (who is still credited as director and writer) explicitly states that they considered having somebody else write the game at some point, but he ended up writing the whole scenario by himself after all.
Apparently, that interview took place right after the game was completed, and a little while before the release, and there's an interesting change of tune between that and his comments on the official blog right before the release: in the interview, he says that maybe Naruhodo ended up playing such an important role because he was still the writer, whereas he later explains on the blog that it was Capcom who asked for Naruhodo to be included in the game. Hmm...

I wonder how Takumi's relationship with the higher-ups has changed with Mikami gone.

I actually like Ghost Trick's graphical style more than Ace Attorney's.
The animation is just gorgeous.

I'll be able to replay it in about three or four years time, I reckon.
Anyway, ending spoilers:
I love how telegraphed some of the plot twists are... the first thing Sissel says when he wakes up is 'you don't see any other corpses around here, do you?', in the second or third chapter Lynne temporarily takes the form of Inspector Cabenela to show you that ghosts can take any form (and you're reminded of this a few times through the game)... I'm sure there's quite a few bits of foreshadowing through the game that you'll spot on a replay.

Bought Ghost Trick at Gamestop. Finished chapter four, I love it so far!
Just some ending clarification questions:
If Lynne can thought-speak to Sissel in cat-form in the new future, does that mean that everybody who Sissel saved in the present that was averted has a core? I.e. Detective Jowd, Inspector Cabanela, Missile etc? Or was that just Lynne thinking and Sissel reading her thoughts?

So I haven't given it to her yet, but I assume my Phoenix Wright/Layton loving woman will love this?

Stuck in Chapter

. I'm sure it's easier than it seems, and this is the first time I've been stuck.

arrange the steam-spewing missles to allow Lynne through :/
