Why is killing off a main cast member the only idea people ever have for the future of this series, it'd just be cheap drama? I feel like the moment the devs do that is the moment it becomes clear that they've run out of ideas
I think most people would simply be content with entertaining cases that are decently surprising, aren't too hand hold-y, filled with fun dialogue, and aren't too retarded or asspull-y.
So where does the series go from here?

This. The Great Attorney games did a good job at being a quirky spin off. You can literally play fangames that're far superior to AA in writing and characters. All the newer AA games focus way too much on making every situation wacky and zany with zero focus on making the core cases/writing any good. Plus it's too predictable. Oh is there a mean, misunderstood prosecutor? He'll get a final case dedicated to them and making them good. Is there some new, mysterious ally character we don't know much about like Athena or Rayfa? They'll have a case dedicated to revealing a huge secret that'll change their life, etc. They need to either do what said and make more good spin offs or figure out how to make AA good without focusing solely on comedic approach.

Phoenix investigates Seth Rich’s murder at a furry con. Your client is Hillary Oldbag and you have to prove Seth really committed suicide. Wacky hijinx ensue.

Something clasping together the entries.
1-2-3 were a coherent entity with people returning every so often. After 4 its mostly detached stories. People like the games for callbacks more than quirky characters.

We'll see at TGS what he is up to. I hope his next game is a new IP

>Plus it's too predictable
This is something that I wish future games could avoid. DD and Investigations 1 and 2 did a good job of making me incapable of figuring out the final adversary way too early, but they still need to break the formula and mix up the character cast more.

Another set of games with a completely new cast like the original AA1-3
I understand people like Phoenix but 4-6 have all felt flat compared to a set of coherent trials and a complete story like the original trilogy had, and I blame the fact that they keep feeling the need to play the "REMEMBER X CHARACTER?" card all the time
You can have like some post-game cutscene of Phoenix and Maya rawdogging it or some shit if you really need the fanservice, but make the cast almost entirely new
