Game designer Yuki Nakamura, who was in charge of writing the DLC episode "Turnabout Reclaimed", used the concept of "lighthearted fun" to set it apart from the episodes in the base game. The episode featuring an orca and taking place in an aquarium was the first thing she decided on, but she struggled to come up with the rest of the story. One scrapped idea had the orca stealing treasure from the aquarium and attacking people by the shore as it escaped to sea, with the mystery involving the reason for the orca's behavior. The draft for this version of the episode opened with Bobby Fulbright and some guards vaguely referring to somebody escaping. This was intended to mislead players into thinking that they were referring to Simon Blackquill, before it was ultimately revealed to be the orca.

Director Takeshi Yamazaki knew from the start that he wanted all three player characters to have their own motivations and purposes that would play out throughout the game. At one point, he even considered having five lawyers in the game, on account of Dual Destinies being the fifth game in the series. He later stated that the idea was "crazy and overly ambitious", and that they had dodged a bullet by not doing it.

The artbook "The Art of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies" by Udon Entertainment expands upon this. In-universe, the similarities are purely coincidental, as Juniper just so happened to design the exact same costume that Lamiroir wore during the previous game. Out-of-universe, however, it was done to tie into the sub-plot about Juniper's crush on Apollo Justice, as it allowed for a cutscene where she gains "brownie points" with Justice, who is a fan of Lamiroir's music.

Apollo's ringtone is a remix of "The Guitar's Serenade" from Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice. The performance of this song, by The Gavinners featuring Lamiroir, was central to the "Turnabout Serenade" case in that game.
