Apollo Justice - "Recollection - A Fate Smeared by Tricks and Gadgets"

[@not_juano]

I still can't believe that someone like phoenix waited for 7 years, slowly crafting a plan, not caring about what people might think of him just to get back at kristoph. it's impressive really

It's actually crazy. He didn't even stop with putting him behind bars in the first case... he wanted to HUMILIATE him 💀 really make him pay

[@propellerknightlol2308]

His hair spikes are natural I believe so he probably just pushed them down a bit like his hair in SoJ and DD

It's amazing how the artist made him seem so different, yet kept a sense of familiarity about him. But yeah, Phoenix got screwed over bad in this game. I actually felt sympathetic for him. It makes you reflect on some of your own past mistakes. Being disbarred has got to be the worst for an attorney who went through hell to for their career (college, law school, bar exam, forming your own practice, e.t.c). It's the reason I didn't choose to major in law. Too much stress.

I find it strange that Edgeworth wasn't disbarred for presenting fake evidence before.

[@mertensiam3384]

@@Aego384 It was because of how the legal system worked. The prosecutors had a lot of advantages, and they can do a lot of stuff that lawyers in that world couldn't even dream of. It was pretty much resolved in Dual Destinies, were you beat the dark age of law and return law to a previous state, even before the first game. But it's not like if the law system in the first trilogy was THAT messed up, since we see that Franzizka couldn't pressent her illegal proof without getting a penalty, but she still managed to play with the laws and get everyone to see it and walk it off without any comsecuense. So did Edgeworth. We know he used to forge evidence, but he certainly made sure law couldn't touch him for doing so, just like Franzizka or with even more intricate ways, he's a smart man with supernatural logic floating chess powers, after all.

[@KainDarkfire]

They stipped him of his badge, and seemingly his association with everyone, and yet, in this transformation he suddenly becomes omnicent, who seems to be pulling all the strings when he's around. He might be more fearful than Gant or Von Karma in his own way now.

[@BottomOfTheDumpsterFire]

I really wish they kept that in AA5 and AA6, but alas, different writers. Phoenix being an associate that Apollo can talk to that can just instantly tell him "yeah, sounds like you should look at/talk to/check out X" would have made it actually useful to go back to Wright and Co since it could be a way of helping with story progression and it would really show off that he's extremely competent at his job. He's busy with his own cases, but he'll always be there to help Apollo out.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

@@nickname2239 Kristoph Gavin is legally-immune to the Inquisitorial Judicial System because of the lack of decisive evidence. Without the real letter evidence that came from Drew Misham, convicting Kristoph is next to impossible. But on the other hand, there is a way to potentially convict him. And that is the Jurist System. Kristoph broke down immediately when he had heard about the news that he is going to be convicted under the Jurist Judicial System because his intentions for murder will be exposed from the other people who aren't involved in the case. He is utterly helpless because if the Jurists have heard that he is the obvious killer, they would probably all just decide a "Not Guilty Verdict" on the defendant. Unless someone believed that there is a need for decisive evidence because without it, you can't accuse Kristoph. So in the other point of view, the accusations against Kristoph Gavin is meaningless without the decisive evidence. However, the most important thing as being a Defense Lawyer is to believe in the innocence of their defendants and Apollo believed that Vera is not guilty, and he proved all the possible points that she did not do it and the most obvious killer who could've done it was Kristoph and that is Final.

[@tantris2876]

What?

[@marcusvergara6193]

I know I’m late, but this is retarded. Kristoph had spent 100,000 dollars on forged evidence and had plotted to kill 2 people, one of them being a 12 year old girl. He literally wasted 100,000 dollars, and could get convicted for forgery, attempted (and depending on how his plan worked, it could have been ACTUAL) murder, and endangerment of a child as well as losing his reputation he worked to get. All for it to be lost over a poker game. And, Kristoph already hated Phoenix. Gotta love how people on this fandom literally have 2 IQ.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

@@marcusvergara6193 In Kristoph's view, it's a waste of money. Once a cheater, always a cheater. He only does his defense attorney job because of fame, not because of the fulfillment of his role as the pillar of the law. And after those 7 years of "freedom", he finally got the retribution he deserves. I certainly don't associate myself with these fandoms, mind you. I only watch Ace Attorney to find the truths.

[@marcusvergara6193]

@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx ...ok? And? How does that change the motive of Kristoph’s? I was saying it was a waste because he ended up being dismissed at the end. I’m not trying to claim that Kristoph is a saint, I’m trying to claim that his motive for murder was much less simplistic than a poker game.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

@@marcusvergara6193 I see. I think people commit murder for the most pettiest of things. We do know his motive for murder is weak, I understand but he only murdered his forger and his daughter so that he can avoid paying that sum of $100,000 and to prevent them from becoming a witness to his proposed forgery because he already knows that it's a waste anyway and his client is no longer employing him. The reason why he's not guilty of his deed is because of his murder plot is kinda more of a gamble than a direct murder. And the Mishams themselves are near oblivious to the deadly traps that he had just set from them. His murder weapons are the most unlikely because they are almost not valid enough evidence to make Kristoph Gavin guilty. So in order to expose him, the truth behind his murder plot must come from his own statement as the Jurist System must judge him according to his motives and testimonies.

[@ThePhantomLK]

Yes, Payne's brother is just the prosecutor in the first case, as Payne himself was in the previous games. The main prosecutor is most likely that shadowy guy at the very end of the trailer.

This is a sad version of "Guilty Love", Klavier Gavin's Theme. Coincidence? I don't think so. In fact, it was Klavier, along with Kristoph who destroyed Phoenix' life... It saddens me when I think about it. :(
