An iris comeback is interesting as like realistically I could see it happening (only for Phoenix to go with Edgeworth for a molars checkup lol). But also like what they are doing with Apollo and Trucy, that plotline seemingly is already in the past, and bringing iris back isn't really a cameo the level of Maya or Franziska/Gumshoe would be. So it would be nice but I dont see it happening sorry iris x Phoenix shippers

I do agree that killing Phoenix would be a cheap ploy. And Capcom has already proven that killing a main mascot would be disastrous after Frank West's end. I'm more in favour of Athena and Apollo dealing with something major while Phoenix is away or indisposed. You don't need anything complex, just a reason for Phoenix to be unavailable for the most part, maybe with a phone call or brief visit cameo here and there. Simplicity is usually the winning formula, after all.

I heard people pitch Athena or Phoenix travel to Europe to separate them and deal with stuff overseas.

I think one of the things they could do for Phoenix at this point is to have him tackle some different types of cases. Not being in the story risks a loss in sales considering he's the face of the franchise, him being the main character again isn't a good idea as he's pretty much completed his character arc, he's too early in his career to rationally retire (especially in this economy), his death would be a bad idea for numerous reasons, and having him taking on more murder cases risks players thinking his story would be more interesting than the one they're following. The guy has seen enough death for one lifetime. Especially since he's not even 40. While he is a lawyer, I don't remember him ever saying he is exclusively a criminal defense lawyer. He took a civil case in SoJ (though he was being coerced, and it ended up being a murder), and a theft in T&T (which also ended up being a murder but he didn't know at the time,) and I don't think it's farfetched to assume he'd be willing to do more like that. Have him be extremely busy with petty lawsuits and robberies and whatnot, while Athena (or whoever is the protagonist) deals with the murders due to a lack of other lawyers at the agency. Maybe for the last chapter, their cases overlap and Athena has to connect the dots. Idk, probably a stupid idea, but I think it's better than killing him off.

I've seen fandoms say they want the main character to get killed off in favor of a new character, and then get mad when that actually happens. Killing off the main character seems like a common trope these days, and I'm tired of it. It seems like everyone wants to kill off the main character just for the sake it. Like you said, it's just lazy writing for shock value. Have Phoenix retire and like, leave the country for a while or something instead.

There's so much angst and drama in a spin off about Trucy doing magic just because of how Apollo reacted to Dhurke, just and of how complicated and dark the Grammary story is including all the things Laminoir has to deal with after losing her memory. Also there could be a chance for a full retelling of Phoenix journey in his secrn years unemployed. A lot of ligh hearted fun before another wild ride an Athena game can be.

Athena just feels like an 'eh' choice for main protagonist with the regular cast, but I would _love_ a game with Athena in that position with Blackquill as the main assistant for the game. Out of all the characters Athena could be paired up with, Blackquill specifically has the best chemistry with her behind the bench IMO, and the other main characters already have their perfect partners - Phoenix with Maya, Apollo with Trucy. Blackquill also seems like the perfect candidate for a more active assistant - someone who could participate more in the actual trial proceedings instead of just playing moral support.

I don’t really have any story related ideas for the next Ace Attorney game, but I would think it’d be cool to have a slight time jump, and with that a little wardrobe change for Apollo and Athena. I think it’d just be cool if Apollo grew like a short stache + goatee (separated) and now has some Kurah’in flair to his vest and general outfit, and if Athena changed to wearing a full blazer and suit pants, with the pants being a little bell bottom-y, and the coat to still have the rolled sleeves. I can’t really think of another difference they could make to Phoenix’s outfit since Capcom gave him his 3-piece suit in DD. The only thing I could think of a change in Phoenix would I guess him growing out a beard like how Capcom gave Ryu one in SF6. I guess they could put some flair into it and make it somewhat like his actual hair too? I dunno I just think a switch up in the character designs would be cool

Personally, I think the best way forward incorporates all of these things simultaneously. I think that a 3rd trilogy is the way to go to fully wrap up the Phoenix Wright story and then move on to other characters. Here’s how I’d write it. I love the part in super hero shows where all the villains join forces to take out the hero. That’s where I’d start. Morgan Fey, Manfred Von Karma, Kristoph Gavin, and Damon Gant all join forces to take Phoenix and co out-for good. Of course, this wouldn’t be revealed until later in the game. Early on in the game, just as Phoenix is about to win a case, he gets murdered. Reeling in shock, Athena and Apollo have to take up the reins and finish the case. BUT… Phoenix isn’t actually dead. Rather, his death is faked because Edgeworth, Gumshoe, and Francisca start hearing rumors that Shelley De Killer is trying to kill him. They don’t tell Apollo and Athena (and us, by extension) in order to protect them. If they think Phoenix is dead, perhaps the people trying to kill him will believe so, too. And if they got captured, they would not be able to give them the information they want. To further solidify Phoenix’s death, his “body” is found, with evidence showing Edgeworth is the killer. Athena and Apollo try to defend him, but they lose. It’s an airtight case. However what Apollo, Athena, and the player don’t know is that the entire case and Phoenix’s death is a complete fabrication. Edgeworth is also a target, and the group decided the best way to protect Edgeworth is to get him incarcerated. Since Phoenix also needs to be undeniably dead, this is a sort of two birds, one stone kind of deal. Thinking that Phoenix is dead, the bad guys then turn their crosshairs to the rest of Wright Anything Agency. This gives ample time for Apollo and Athena to get some much-needed screen time, and allows for an absolutely earth-shattering final game. In the final case, during the final attack, that’s when Phoenix returns. For the three of them together to end it once and for all.

I'd really like to know what exactly you mean by Blackquill being a watered down version of Godot. The only unique similarity they share is that both of them went to prison. Godot is an interesting character with inherent flaws who due to his sexism blamed Phoenix for not protecting Mia (this later turned out to be him projecting) which is why Godot killed Dahlia just for the sake of revenge. Despite being fully aware of who the body belonged to. This is his tragedy. Simon on the other hand pleads guilty for killing his mentor, only because he was under the impression that her Daughter was the culprit. His drive was to save Athena which in turn lead Athena to turn into a lawyer. I fail to see any parallels.
@CoolCarGuy8 ай бұрын
From my personal interpretation, Blackquil as a character and personality felt like an attempt to recreate Godot, but only really a surface level understanding as to why godot is so compelling. And Blackquil lacking the personal flaw as you mentioned as Godot with his arrogance and sexist/male savior attitude is the very reason Blackquil feels lesser than Godot. Both use some form of “psychological manipulation” to win their arguments, however Godot is way more pungent and has a different level of intensity to his comments. Blackquil meanwhile only really makes very shallow statements and calls them “psychological manipulation” in my opinion. (More so a part of Yamazaki’s writing style which you could take it or leave it). But thats a major reason as to why Blackquil just feels like an Ai look the base details that make up godot and made a character based on that. And there is the tragic backstory which godot and Blackquil kind of differ, but still have similarities: prolific prosecutors who throw everything away from one event. But while Blackquil had the more sappy sympathy level backstory incline to those who see Godot as a selfless hero, Godot’s true backstory has that level of depth and character flaw that makes his lore thought provoking than Blackquil. Blackquil is distant just cuz he wants to protect Athena? It’s a backstory we’ve seen a million times. But Godot could be argued his poisoning was from arrogance and even his underlying sexism seeing dahlia as lesser. It’s a tragic backstory surmounted by Godot’s own flaws rather than just one who made a presumption through pure selfless sympathy. So like the Godot Blackquil isn’t a direct 1 to 1, but there are similarities are similar arcs trying to make two dark edgy characters with tragic and selflessness to them. But one in my opinion one just feels more intriguing and dark while the other is just a more surface level and shallow version of what they did with godot.
@IceBlueLugia9 күн бұрын
The thing with Blackquill is that I feel he’s compelling as a rival before and after his big moments in 5-5. Whereas Godot is really mostly defined by the 3-5 ending and doesn’t stand out much before that, and never appears afterwards Blackquill also gives off many Lana Skye vibes since they both plead guilty to a crime they didn’t commit and act cold and distant to protect someone close to them. To me that makes Blackquill feel less unique while with someone like Godot he remains morally grey throughout the entire thing. You can see his loving and selflessness from how deeply he was hurt from Mia’s death, but also how incredibly selfish he is in trying to live out some hero fantasy where he kills Dahlia and saves Maya, at the cost of Misty’s and Iris’ life. It means that while some may hate him and not sympathize at all, some also will sympathize with him and remember him fondly. Either way, it creates interesting discussion and makes him incredibly memorable. Blackquill doesn’t really have that, he doesn’t even have the moral greyness Lana had where she outright forged evidence to protect Ema. Blackquill simply lies under oath which every damn witness does lol In the end not sure who I prefer

I'm so glad that there are a lot of people still talking about Ace Attorney. Well, the Apollo Justice Trilogy is happening so I see it was obvious, but still, that a lot of people are not only talking, also speculating and theorizing as much as they can. I also expect that Ace Attorney 7 happens, we already got 3 compilations, a new game sounds like about time. Okay, this was amazing. The topics that fandom has touched and needs answer. About Athena: I love Athena, but I feel her introduction was heavily overshadowed by Phoenix's return and Apollo's tragic path, without mentioning the whole lotta traumas both Athena and Apollo presented in just one game. Athena has the rights to have her own game, she deserves it. About the Prosecutors: Are they really ignoring the existence of Franziska, Sebastian and Klavier in favor of Edgeworth? Hey, Edgeworth is amazing but if they brought back Ema or Pearl, then those prosecutors also would deserve a comeback, right? Just imagine the situations and dialogue between Sebastian and Athena, or Franziska and Blackquill trying to slash each other by mere provoking. About Apollo: His "trilogy" is happening, yes, but he wasn't the main character in one and a half games from that trilogy. And meanwhile Spirit of Justice finally gave Apollo his ultimate resolution, he still has a lot to offer, not only in Khura'in. His chords of steel are still vibrating with excitement, I want to hear more of them. About the Spinoffs: WE NEED MORE SPINOFFS. Maybe kind of like a title such as "The Ace Attorney Files" that talk about Mia and Godot's old cases, of even Gregory's ones, even a whole new cast unrelated to the main characters. About Phoenix's dead: I've been in a lot of fandoms, and the topic of killing the main protagonist is always a constant. I even know that is just the riskiest decision to ever give, no matter the context. Killing Phoenix, while it may give such a heavy twist to the series and the consequences that follows, I think it's just not a good idea. Phoenix has been for a LONG time already, he's basically a renamed character with such influence and recognition, killing him would change the focus. As you said, dead is no rare in Ace Attorney, but it is the impact that it gives to the plot at the moment. Some deaths happen because they must, are presented for the main character to get through the shock and find the hope after. But we're talking about Phoenix, his death will only cause shock for the sake of shock. Also, Apollo and Athena can shine without putting Pheonix out of the picture, Apollo Justice, Investigations and The Great Ace Attorney are proof of that. To finish, can I imagine them letting Phoenix get killed even after everything he went through? Nah. Overall, I enjoyed so much this video. You really took feedback from the comment and with that explored every topic with such caution and investigation. Truly a remarkable job.

To be honest I'm also on the side that killing Phoenix off would do more harm then good for not only the franchise but the characters as well since as you mentioned before, it'll once again center around Phoenix but just with his 'death' instead. Phoenix is actually my favorite character in AA and I actually had an alternative idea for him with one last storyline that'll wrap up his character for the most part in my book. I think people have seen this idea already with a few fan videos being made of it, but anyone ever notice that we follow Phoenix's and everyone's adventures but we haven't delved too much into Phoenix's mental state unlike Athena and Apollo. I think I a nice storyline (kudos to anyone who remembers the fan video of this idea) starts with Phoenix showing off the magatama to Apollo explaining how it works. We all know Apollo's famous line 'I'm Apollo Justice and I'm fine!" as a way to pump himself up. He encourages Phoenix to try that out while he's holding the magatama and Phoenix goes 'I'm Phoenix Wright and I'm fine!'. And then a whole bunch of black psyche locks appear on him stunning Apollo. Phoenix is oblivious to this reveal and Apollo realizes that they got a BIG problem. Because when you really think about, Phoenix goes through a fucking lot through out the games. Whether it's physical or mental trauma it's a god damn laundry list varying from game to game. And he seems to come out perfectly fine by the end of it and there isn't much address on his mental well being after everything is said and done from others or even himself. I think this could be a really good story line that ties all three attorneys together since we've seen all of their pasts to an extent. Athena and Apollo would be a solid team up of figuring out Phoenix's emotions and breaking each psyche lock each chapter setting up a dynamic where for once Phoenix needs to rely on them rather than vice versa whether he realizes it or not. It can also bring out more sides to said three characters since this isn't really the type of challenge they're use to outside of Athena with her being able to detect and feel emotions. It's not perfect and could definitely use some polish here and there on how they would go about it but I definitely like the idea since it focuses more on the psychological aspects of the characters rather then their pasts or just trying to be a better lawyer. Sorry for the wall of text, I just think it's neat.

7:35 That reminds me of my idea for a fan character who is a prosecutor who is seemingly from our world and played the ace attorney trilogy and keeps breaking the fourth wall. The joke would be one of the reasons he became a prosecutor would be to check if Godot was sentenced to death or not, and then just never say the answer out loud.

Much as I would like for the lingering plot threads, like Apollo and Trucy being siblings, I just honestly feel like they're gonna purposely go unresolved forever. The best opportunities to resolve these threads have come and gone which is why I feel fine with a new cast taking over. Or at least, a new cast + Athena and Blackquill. I just can't imagine many of the resolutions at this point being all that satisfying at this point. For instance, we already had Mr. Reus who, assumedly, was the last unresolved part of Troupe Gramarye which would've been a perfect time to do... something with the two half-siblings but we got nothing in that regard. And now at this point, unless they devise some incredible storyline I cannot envision currently, it would probably kill the pacing and feel cheap despite how long we've been waiting for it. Also a new cast could be cool if it was something about Athena as the rookie figuring herself out and we got to see more different kinds of lawyers and prosecutors, not in terms of their presence during a trial, but as characters with various opinions and thoughts about justice and the law and so on.

not addressing the apollo trucy backstory may have been the biggest failure of the Yamazaki era of ace attorney games imo. It just perpetuated that flaw of Apollo jumping between backstories/plotlines instead of a continuation. So I think just even passingly address it in a one-off special episode case would just give it the closure it deserves

Once a character is dead, they are cut off from the world altogether and not supposed to come back, even in a fictional world. Otherwise, questions start to arise as to why they were not preserved alive if they were meant to still play an active role. If Phoenix were to quit lawyering, simply "quitting" like retirement would be enough. He wouldn't play an active role anymore as a lawyer while still being able to operate as much as needed. Regardless, this is just an opinion on the matter.

I'm still holding out for more TGAA. Or maybe it's the copium, but seeing the previous generation's team or watching Kazuma, Barok and Gina (Maybe some Maria too?) Solve crimes and hang out in Britain would be amazing. Or maybe a Ryutaro game focusing on how Japan's legal system is shaping up? (A century is enough time for the legal system to fall into a modern trilogy level state of disrepair, I hope.)

6:07 “There I am, Gary! There I am!” The fact that Athena is being included in the weekly Apollo Justice Trilogy trailers gives me hope that Capcom hasn’t completely forgotten about her. My guess is that it’ll depend on how well the AJ Trilogy does if we get an Athena game. But man, I want it BADLY now. And Franziska would be such a fun prosecuting foil to Athena. My dream spin-off would be an AAI game starring Klavier and Simon as they work with Edgeworth to clean up the Prosecutors’ Office following Simon’s acquittal. And they take turns being the lead or the other’s weird assistant. Mostly because I love those two characters and want more of them, but also because the AJ trilogy prosecutors never really got the chance to get fully fleshed out beyond their debut games. It’s become one of the casualties of introducing a new prosecutor with each game and why I love that we got Barok for both Chronicles games. Edgeworth’s story didn’t end with DL6, so why should Klavier’s end with the jurist trial or Simon with his acquittal?

11:17 Or Lestrade. I wanna see Gina Lestrade grown up and being a good detective without Gregson. Though maybe she could way for Sholmes to cover his blindspots because she has first hand knowledge on crimes and criminal motivation. While Lestrade will be kinda tied to Scotland Yard politics like Gregson when Sholmes isn't. My idea would be to have a game take place 2-5 years after the events of the Chronicles with a 12-15 year old Iris Wilson and a 20-23 year old Lestrade. I have a feeling there's potential there. Though the "5 year" option would be kinda hard to tie to the Chronicles games because it would be basically ages ago and long forgotten. While with the 2 year option you can imagine that Wilson and Lestrade still hold some grief about Klint van Zieks and Gregson respectively. Though I also really wanna see Teenage Wilson.

It would be sad to lose that many old faces but it would really show how much of a grudge the three had

Tbh I kinda want to see the franchise go back to the Manfred von Karma and Blaise Debeste times and deal with a case as a flashback case like they did with the inherited turnabout by the murder of someone like idk Marvin Grossberg and it is dealt by the og main cast of Phoenix and Edgeworth. It can feature insights on Grossberg Law Offices with many attorneys like Hammond, Armando, and perhaps in training Mia in a law school with Lana. This can be dealt by Phoenix segments while on the other hand Edgeworth can handle Edgeworth law offices and PIC segments. We could also get flashback segments with Grossberg leading them (kinda unappealing but idk who else can be chosen). They can also bring back Detective Rip Lacer as a minor culprit or smth. Or maybe an entire spinoff like investigations 3 to take place in this period. We can see Badd's comeback too. This time period has high potential. I personally think they could either go and make it a full Pre IS-7 game or full post DL-6 game. Edit : We might even see Payne's first defeat in this by perhaps Grossberg and see a little comedic rivalry among them.

Man, hearing you talk about an Athena sequel and maybe a Mia prequel spinoff made me think; we never really saw these two together. Athena's my favorite protagonist because much as some people don't like how much more energy she has than Phoenix or Apollo (or, as good and fun as he is, even Ryuunosuke; and even Susato for that ONE case and Mia for her two cases), that alone gives our point of view's internal thoughts so much change that I felt it was super refreshing. Plus the contrast between that endless cheerfulness you'd expect more from an assistant and her more professional attitude as soon as psychology and emotions enter the picture is a great balance. But also, unlike Apollo who kind of just stumbled under Phoenix's care (or... lack thereof, for the longest time), Athena was directly sought out by him. She's basically what Phoenix himself was to Mia, except we saw this relation develop a little bit more than that one. So it made me curious as to how the two would interact; seeing Mia proud of how even farther Phoenix had come since even T&T (the whole AJ "mission" being a big undertaking even without his badge-- and then add DD AND SoJ ontop of it), and with the help of Pearl or even Maya channeling her, help further develop said new generation. Much as Trucy is my favorite assistant (I just found her hijinxes in AJ more fun than a lot of the idle banter of Maya in the trilogy), having Pearl (or Maya if the circumstances permit it) and thus the ability to channel Mia at a moment's notice I feel would only further help the idea of helping Athena fully develop as a lawyer of her own, just like you suggested having her face Franziska and potentially confronting Kristoph would. ... though I guess that role could just be filled with Phoenix himself actually being the boss that he now is, but I find that hard to balance with the goofy lovable protagonist side of his shown in every game except most of AJ. '^^

Hoo boy. Where do I even begin. Why kill Phoenix? Why? WHY? If you want to reduce his role, just make him busy or Athena's co-counsel. At the end of the day, he is still the owner of the Wright Anything Agency, and that would make the story go "mentor death as motivation" all over again. He can be in the background, or have one of the case where he takes the lead because the implications are high. That said, the idea of him becoming a District Attorney is... a logical follow-up, after all the stunts he pulled to get to where he is. A Mia prequel can be interesting, and for one good reason: A return to the series' roots. With the over-reliance on the Magatama, Bracelet, Mood Matrix, I feel it would do the series a lot of good to return to more realistic setting. And shed more light on what evidence Mia had on Redd White - he is the reason she became an attorney. In doing so we will have the full picture of the damages caused by Gregory's murder. Also, I think after two murders, Kristoph can't come back to mess with Athena. He had to have got that lethal shot. On the same vein, I would mind Godot reappearing, but I wouldn't mind seeing some Godot references from Phoenix. The guy has to have an impact in Phoenix's life. If they want anything to do with Apollo, make his cases a separate game - I personally didn't like Spirit of Justice's contrived stuff and Apollo getting a new backstory every time I change my nephew's diapers.

Kill off Phoenix Wright? I was thinking of Apollo Justice taking a bullet to defend his sister but then to be resurrected/have-the-fatal-would-healed by the Holy Mother if the Princess channeled her if she could do that. As for Athena, I would like her to be at the center for the next game, specifically I want her to bond with some of Phoenix's other friends like build a sister-like relationship with Maya and have Maya offer Athena a chance to talk to her mother again by channeling her.

AA7 should be a Phoenix Wright game, the final Phoenix Wright game. Some ideas would be: he makes allies out of the Paynes, people who have hated him since the first game, EVERY main character since the first game returns, the threat of this game is a gang, made up of most of the main villains Phoenix has defeated, even manipulating Maya/Pearl to channel Manfred and Dahlia, Phoenix apologising to Apollo for the forged ace and using him for his own benefits, telling him and Trucy the truth, like the end of SOJ, the game would need to end with character development, with Phoenix retiring and passing the torch to Athena, setting up AA8, which would be the Athena game that everyone wants. I just feel that before that happens, Phoenix needs a proper sendoff game that ends in his retirement, leaving Capcom now choice but to switch protagonists in AA8, while using AA7 to send off Phoenix in a satisfying way, while also tying up all loose ends from the second trilogy

I think if they really wanted to, they should do something similar to what they did with Apollo. Give him an indefinite exit where they can bring him back at any time.

That opens the doors for a lot of new characters, and new possibilities

The reason why Athena is so controversial is because her existence takes away from both Apollo and Trucy. Duel Destiny should have Apollo as the main character with Trucy as the assistant. With Athena existing, she now has to have a role, and someone had to be cut down. Most of Athena roles could be given to other characters, and it wouldn't cause many major problems aside from writing a slight difference in the story. I should note that I actually like Athena, but I knew that spirit of justice would sideline her. It just too many people in the game and not enough time to flesh them out. Spirit of Justice is a prime example of this. The game starts with Phoenix in another country, only to switch to Apollo and Athena who are back home with a case that pretty disconnected to the main game, only to go back to Phoenix in the other country to continue the story, but then you go back to Athena in Japan to have another irrelevance case. Spirit of Justice has a major pacing issues that no other game had, not even Duel Destiny has that issue, and it's because Athena existed and we were expecting to be able to play as her because the previous set up that expectations. As much as I like Apollo more than Athena, him leaving is a very good thing, because now the game can slow themselves down to a new, more manageable pace. Ace Attorney 7 should be better because they are no longer bound by needing to give three charaters a case each in a 5 case game.

Or maybe in a coma question, and like it’s life and death until the end episode of AA7.

I think games 5 and 6 had a lot more good than bad esp game 5 and I would love to see aa7 take the remaining threads from games 4-6 and resolve them in a cool way w Athena as a protagonist. I will say I doubt they won’t make a new prosecutor considering that that’s a staple of the ace attorney formula, but I think if they do it well it wouldn’t actually be a bad thing. Also one more thing I want is more screentime and characterization for nahyuta, not necessarily even as a prosecutor we face in court again but just as an assistant or even a witness. I think a lot of people are wayyyy too harsh on him and seeing how he’d have changed since aa6 would be good for his character.

I don’t believe anyone would want to work with him after that fact, even people who work illegally and underground. At this point, he’s lost everything with no hope of ever regaining it, which is why I think him being in further games just wouldn’t make any sense.

Honestly, I'm sure this might be an unpopular opinion, but I think the Ace Attorney team should just drop all the characters entirely. Ace Attorney Chronicles did this and it's really the best game in the series. I love Apollo, and occasionally Athena and Phoenix, but I think it's just time to let them go. Phoenix definitely had his time, and Apollo, while I wish he could stick around, is just way to complicated to deal with now. I wish they could do another actual Apollo Justice game with Trucy and Klavier, but it just doesn't seem possible. If Athena had a game, then it be the most heartbreaking thing ever, as we'd have to wave goodbye to his honor, our beloved 'udgy. Since Junie would have to be the new judge, and I'm not sure anyone is prepared for that. Not to mention if Athena had a game, well, actually I can't even picture it. She'd have to have a male sidekick, but that's about all I can gleam. She could potentially have a game, because she doesn't really have much going on, so that makes her an ideal candidate I suppose. I just personally wasn't a fan of the mood matrix.
