I wish she’d come back

All-stars is fine but you can tell how often they take this approach just looking at how many times Morrigan has been a "All-star" in one of these games and then 15 others characters from Darkstalkers get benched, we want you to use ALL your characters capcom just choosing one representative from a series you used to care about is way to old at this point

She should be getting out of prison one of these days desu

She said pretty clearly she didn't know what Dahlia was up to that day.

don’t you wanna play the engarde case?

Yes, that's why I can't bring myself to skip JfA.

That case really managed to win me over on JfA. No small feat.

I figured they were building to him being the villain, but the reveal still surprised me

Why though? It has best overall cases, best prosecutor, best story and themes. It's literally the game getting better with each entry.

>skipping a game that has fewer cases and will take less time to play

What are the odds of them porting 4-6 to Switch?

I was completely expecting it to turn out that he was legally innocent of the murder, but a total dickhead that would be unsavory to defend.

fuck it, have a based

I wish you luck, friend.

I'd think we'd be better off with an AA0 prequel, 3.5, or a maya game. What do you think?

AA is always best when they pull shit out of their ass and somehow connect the dots

People are ignoring that T&T, AAI2 and SoJ did this and yet for some reason people pretend it's a 3DS thing

I really don't care what it is, AA always manages to surprise and write some good shit regardless of the scattered opinions, more AA is always great.

>AA0 prequel
I wonder if it's possible to cover cases such as the DL-6 Incident in a game or if we know too much at this point for the writers to be able to do all their ass pulls and twists. Alternatively, a Mia game. I can't remember if it's covered why she started her own firm, but you could do something with that.

Excellent list

People will probably disagree but i too absolutely agree that both AAi1 and Apollo are both better than the first game

The first game is just TOO vanilla

I don't understand why the word "high tier" is higher praise than "great tier" in your list.

They still have not elaborated on how Phoenix and Athena met. The next games are probably going to be more Athena centric since Phoenix and Apollo have had their trilogy. Also, the black locks need to be expanded upon, damn it! I can't believe such an interesting concept got a shitty explanation in DD and then is forgotten forever.

Imagine Godot in court for the Kick Vic case.

“Here’s the deal, witless. Every time you told a lie to this court today I drank one cup of coffee. I drank every thirteen cups in your opening statement alone. Now. How many lies did you tell?

Yea Forums sucks AAI2's dick, not AAI. AAI was pretty mediocre.

AAI is pretty boring until the last 2 cases, but it's worth it for AAI-2

Reminder that Rise from the Ashes is STILL the best case in the series

And that Ema is the cutest girl in the world

It's not even the best case in its own game

would you like to provide evidence to back up your claims?

1-4 is a perfect tie up to the narrative of the game and has a greater emotional payout.

Also, 1-5's first day sucks. Sure after that it becomes absolutely bananas and amazing but that first day fucking sucks.

Are Phoenix Wright games ever going to have an acceptable cast of characters ever again, in terms of numbers?
The first game had an increasing number of characters with each case, peaking at like a dozen (of which 5 could realistically be the culprit in the end), JFA's last case had a fuckton of people in it, TTA's numbers weren't as huge, but they still kept it hard to guess and with the entire cast being there from the start of the case.
Then came Apollo, the last game to actually feature a complete case, but that already showed signs of depopulation.

Which leads us to Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice.
What the fuck happened?

Every single case, no matter how long or important it is (most notably the last one), has like three people in it.
Victim, primary suspect, second suspect. THE END.
And every time they try really hard to spruce it up (by making a single character count for two, by introducing them mid-trial, by making the victim the culprit, etc), but there's just SO LITTLE CHOICE when trying to deduce stuff, that it doesn't even matter.
By process of elimination, you end up understanding everything way too soon, and it's never interesting even when something is a "surprise".

Not to mention, the back-and-forth nature of trial and investigation from the first 3 games is completely gone.
You don't go investigating and interrogating people anymore after new developments in the case require it (because there simply isn't a cast big enough to allow for that).
The case just starts, someone dies, you examine one-two rooms they explicitly tell you to comb through, then you go to trial until it's over.

Did they change directors/writers?
Why are the more recent games so lackluster on such a basic, easily fixable level?
Just add more people to the cases, god fucking damnit.

>By process of elimination, you end up understanding everything way too soon, and it's never interesting even when something is a "surprise".
Contributing to that, there's also how even the most important twists are spoiled to you by the game itself, with cartoonish "It couldn't be...could it? No...it's not possible..." moments in which you're hammered over the head with the "twist" until you're just sick of it and by the time it comes around you're just relieved they'll stop acting coy about it.

In Spirit of Justice, Rayfa's real descendancy as well as Nahyuta's could have been an amazing twist, but they just had to take out that dumb picture a billion times, every time going "Mhh...there's something wrong...what could it be...", with both involved characters acting weird about it and making it obvious as fuck.

The trails for PLvPW were top tier though
It was so nice to have one that didn't turn into a murder either.

It's funny how aai has like 10+ characters on one screen.

That's why it's shit.

Shu didn't work on AJ at all. He's only there as Special Thanks at best.

I disagree.

DGSI when?

It's a standard writer conflict that basically every writer hits eventually. Every writer is typically given the same piece of advice rehashed in different ways "Don't add unnecessary elements"/"Don't add useless fluff"/"Don't bloat the writing".

With most fiction genres, since the cast is intimately tied to the plot, characters are intimately tied to the "fear of bloat". The most basic story structure requires the least amount of characters (and also the least amount of work). Adding characters introduces complexity, but it also creates problems because each character stresses the overall "consistency" and "uniqueness".

Eventually the writer hits the dilemma - every new character introduced technically needs the same level of background work in order to make them fit internally within the writer's headspace, but the audience doesn't see this because they only get a portion of the "overall picture", which leads to some characters being seen as useless by the audience even though the writer may have a critical purpose for them. The writer's craft needs to be excellent in order to make every character fit (and more important, for the audience to buy in to it), otherwise they develop a reputation as a writer that "adds fluff for no reason" - and once they have this reputation it is hard to break. This is a risk that comes with all writing.

So what do you do when you're risk adverse? You minimize the cast as much as possible and rely on proven names. Sure, it simplifies the story and it locks you in as a writer to specific interactions (because the characters have to maintain internal cohesion), but it also makes the writing process "safer" and easier.

He composed the song on THAT video and created Apollo, but yeah, he wasn't a writer or director like before.

>the back-and-forth nature of trial and investigation from the first 3 games is completely gone.
This is the biggest loss for the series imho
Phoenix's "bluff and buy time" strategy makes no sense when trials never get readjourned to the next day and when no new information is ever added to the trial, his floundering at this point is just a meme that serves no purpose in the new INTRO > INVESTIGATION > TRIAL > END formula

My heart has been fully erect for years now. They NEED to get married next game.

You can probably skip most of JFA. Cases like the first or third one don't really have that much of an impact on the trilogy and the third one especially was just a filler case with nothing really noteworthy.

That's not Jezail.

Is there NickxMaya undertone?

Less than previous games, mostly due to Pearls not shipping them anymore IIRC. Was a while since I played tho.

There isn't any. They're straight up friends in the main game, and the DLC just has her back to her teenage self.

>add new lawyer characters
>still stick to phoenix for the most part
what the FUCK were they thinking? I wanna see Athena and especially Apollo, since all they've done with him so far is develop his backstory, mature more as lawyers and take on interesting/challenging cases. Some moral dilemmas a la 2-4 would be great as well.

The lack of subtlety in general is a wider problem in weeb entertainment.

Sorry, she was executed for multiple murders and is now being gangraped to death in hell, over and over again.

Who the fuck pushed the policeman in her first case anyway and where did she go after that?

You're confusing her for Dahlia. It's okay though, they are twins after all.

brainlet detected
They are the same person, Phoenix made up the whole twins story because she has him charmed just like every other guy.

that second point bothered me a lot too
she must have left the scene for the murderer to fake her name in the sand afterward but it's never stated why, plus i'm pretty sure the murderer was the one who phoned it in
then she never sees her name written down afterward even though the victim is her boyfriend and she's a policewoman, nobody questions or investigates if the glasses are hers or not, and nobody questions how he wrote her name when his neck broke on impact

what a stupid case

>nobody questions how he wrote her name when his neck broke on impact
Yeah fuck this, I thought of that too and then they go "no, faggot, he's left handed, it's literally impossible for him to write anything with his right hand"
Also doesn't she say later that they aren't even a couple?

The movie is fucking weird. I suppose it's okay, but some of the things it decides to change are... off. Maya is unrecognizable, they turned her from a hyperactive idiot into some kind of an emotionless ice queen.
