How many cases will GS5 have?

grim_tales · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 8:01 pm

4 or 5 cases? I guess it should have 5 going by the 4-5-4 pattern set now (PW1-3 had a 5-4-5 pattern). 5 cases may mean shorter ones compared to PW though.
I'd rather have 4 sharp, shocking cases than 5 shoddy, messy ones (though as a whole I'd say thats unlikely, the shoddy part I mean for all of them).
I cant wait to see what cases they come up with!

Megaman.EXE · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:38 pm

Id say 5, I saw the pattern too. Maybe they'll add a 6th case to throw everyone off :beef:

Bad Player · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:42 pm

OVAR 9000 CASES!!!

Heh. Had to say that :oops:

Seriously, I'm hoping for 5. I really really am. Because I really luved T&T and AA (which had 5), but thought AJ was good and disliked JFA (which had 4). Plus, it follows the 5-4-5-4- pattern.

I remember someone said that they had heard a rumor that there would be 7... that would be sweet :edgy:

(as long as they weren't all rushed. And that might have been for GK, not GS5... I forget....)

ProsecutorX · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 10:38 pm

I noticed the pattern as well, 5-4-5

I presume it's 5 after all, it should be a big game.

I also hope it's 5 and I hope they're really good cases.

the return of :edgy:

anyone?

Well, I don't actually see much of a pattern since AA got 5 cases after it's re-release on the DS and not before. So originally it was something like 4-4-5-4 setting 4 as par for the series.

>.> Not that I don't HOPE there's 5.

That pattern doesn't really work because PW 1 actually had 4 cases origenally, it just had a bonus one added later.

T&T had 5 cases but it had 2 trial only cases.

5 cases is 5 cases. Besides, they could've left it at 4 cases, but they didn't!

And a trial-only case is still a case. 3-4 was fun and good. Quality > Quantity. (I would prefer a good trial-only case, like 3-4, than a bad 2 or 3-day case)

I really hope that they make it a 5 case game. I liked Apollo Justice, but it left me wanting more. It was hard for me to get into at first (poor HoboNick!), and I didn't start really enjoying until the third case.

Maybe they'll pull a TT, and you'll get to play your mentor's first case for the tutorial case (and I'm not talking about Kristoph) *shot*

IMO the game is great for the 1st 2 cases and then the rest isn't so great.

Better that they make the game as good as they can rather than rushing it! I think what makes the series so good is how AJ left me wanting more even if AJ may not be as good in some areas as T&T was, I still enjoyed it a lot.

I think there should be 5 cases.

The first should probably be against Payne. It should also officially introduce the jury system which gives an opportunity to explain the basics of the game. Ever thought that Maya might be a juror? I mean, she is a pretty important person, being the Master of Kurain and so on.

The second should introduce a new prosecutor, with Klavier being on a world tour with his rock band. The new prosecutor should be someone ruthless unlike Klavier. The case could be a "filler" like 1-3, 2-3 and 3-2 were.

The third should revolve around Apollo's family, including Trucy as a half-sister and his unknown father. This case should also feature the new prosecutor.

The fourth should be a fanservice, reintroducing some old characters like Maya, Pearl, Franny and Edgeworth. Maya should NOT be the defendant, as she already was far too many times, but maybe Pearl can be. The victim could be Bikini or whoever. Even if it doesn't have anything to do with channeling, I feel the need of a case like this. This could also be when we see Phoenix and co for the last time when they are really important.

The fifth might be a spiritual continuation of 5-3, revealing a greater truth, much like they only mentioned DL-6 in 1-2 but it was in the center in 1-4.

Like this, Apollo and Trucy could really get some character development, with giving some well-deserved answers about the old cast.
About Klavier, I don't know where he fits in, but hey... my idea will probably not be anything like GS5 in the end.

[spoiler]At the end of 4-4, Klavier says that the Gavviners have been disbanded, probably due to :haha:

being arrested in 4-3![/spoiler]

Anyway, I'd like to see at least 5 cases, with A) the re-introduction of 3-day cases and B) None of this 'jurists deciding the verdict' crap!

NinjaMonkey, you did spoiler wrong =\ you need to have spoiler= at the beginning.

Croik · **Posted:** Thu Jul 31, 2008 1:55 pm

If there are 5 cases, it'll probably have 2 that are court only just like in T&T. These games can only be so long, after all, considering their smaller team size and budget. I'd be perfectly happy with 4 cases, so the writers can spend their time tightening them up rather than tossing in an extra.

DramaticaXIV2 · **Posted:** Thu Jul 31, 2008 3:33 pm

OVER 9000!

Sorry, overused meme and I just realised someone had done it.

Either 4 or 5, definately. Not sure though. I was thinking about a six-case-set too. But that would suck.

Alas, we have no way of knowing.

In Gyakuten Saiban 5 and 6 Phoenix may be a lawyer too, yeah?
I'd Like to play with some Phoenix new cases for his new defense attorney career =)
Expecially in Gyakuten Saiban 6, that will be the last GS of the entire series!

1. Apollo would get even less time then.
2. Who says AA 6 will be the last one?

First of all, Why wont you let Apollo have a chance at his own game?
Secondly, Why do you want the series to end? I love it forever!

Maya could be a juror, but being Master of Kurain has nothing to do with it. The entire purpose of the jury system is to inject "the wisdom of the public" i.e. common sense into a case. Having a high-ranking leader of the occult in there may be defeating the purpose!

In any case, let's say 5. And in the next game, 6. I have evidence to re-inforce my theories.

grim_tales · **Posted:** Fri Aug 01, 2008 8:47 pm

I really love the AA games and when playing, I never want them to end :D I always feel a pang of sadness when theyre over :(
That said I dont want the series to be stale. I guess if it sells Capcom will keep making more.

kerobi11 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 03, 2008 8:17 pm

If they had 4, it better have everything related.

If they had 5, one case can be unrelated to the game in its entirety, but has a connection on at least one case, like 3-2 and 3-3.

LeahNinjaGirl · **Posted:** Wed Aug 20, 2008 3:20 am

Ermm sorry got sidetracked . Hmm .. It will probably have 4 . I'd like it if it had 5 though! :]

5 cases is 5 cases. Besides, they could've left it at 4 cases, but they didn't!

Regardless, it began with four cases, the second game continued with four cases, and the final game ended with five cases. It's pretty inconceivable that a simple additional case would intentionally create a pattern.

My two-cents: patterns are not solid indications of anything. They're merely for speculatory purposes. But, everyone knows that some anonymous dev team members is discreetly surfing around these parts and is going to bend over to the fan's every whim and desire. I wouldn't be surprised if the next installment had five cases simply to give the little pests what they want so that they'll shut up and possibly prevent a baw fest within the community.

Tarmogoyf · **Posted:** Fri Aug 29, 2008 10:47 am

You can't be sure, but if it follows in the 5-4-5 pattern, there is a high possibility. I would rather have 4 solid cases than 5 rather short ones. That's what happened to me with GS1 and GS2. It took me about twice as long to finish GS2 than it did GS1. Reason being, that the cases in GS2 are more solid than those of GS1. So I would only want 5 cases if they were to be nice, solid cases. Not short and sloppy ones.

Meph · **Posted:** Sat Aug 30, 2008 4:28 pm

There is no 5-4-5-4 pattern. Have you forgotten that GS1 originally only had four cases. I think there's a 4-4-5/4-4-5 pattern. ;)

Salutation Here · **Posted:** Sat Aug 30, 2008 8:15 pm

It'll probably have four cases. Though I'd love a fifth.

grim_tales · **Posted:** Sat Aug 30, 2008 8:45 pm

As long as theyre good solid cases, I think 4 would be OK.

Meph · **Posted:** Sat Aug 30, 2008 10:07 pm

I suppose it depends on how much the main storyline needs there to be.

Phoenix_Apollo · **Joined:** Sat Mar 29, 2008 1:58 pm **Posts:** 1707

You guys seem to forget that the original two only had four cases because of the GBA cart. T&T was able to have five cases because they were able to get a hold of the extra space.

As for AJ, I'm pretty sure it was kept at four to get newcomers interested in the originals.

I'm thinking that they're pretty much given the license to have five or six cases now that they've established the fanbase.

And what do you mean sloppy and poor? This isn't just some normal series we're talking about. These games DEPEND on case quality. They're not about to fuck that up.

Well, we could say they had that many trials... but since they were related incidents its really one "case".

Personaly, I don't think their trying to do a pattern or anything of the sort. Remember how Grossberg was limited to two animations? Its limited how much they can fit on the card... Isn't it? (I'd hate to hear they were just ripping us off when they could have fit more cases in :larry:

But think of the development time that would add on to the game. T&T had 5 cases because the fourth one was short, and several of the cases used pre-existing characters. To have six full cases that weren't just a parade of rehashes, you'd have to tack a lot of time onto the development process.

I'd rather it not take that long for the game to come out :sadshoe:

grim_tales · **Posted:** Mon Sep 01, 2008 1:36 pm

True but I wouldnt want rehashes either.
Though in AJ
