Something interesting that I've noticed about the new assistant is that she only has one of many things that are supposed to come in twos. One glove, one earring, one pigtail and it looks like only one hoop on the bow in her hair.

I'm excited to see where this game takes us and I hope we get some answers about what's happening to other characters from past games, even if it's just a passing not in a conversation.

Eshiro has a great grasp of new mechanics. Apollo's game didn't feel much different at all compared to rise from the ashes (GS1-5) in that respect.

But he's also had his down sides, I hear there's a MAJOR :grey: moment in terms of character rationalization that made Croik want to throw her DS at the wall. But it's not like Takumi wasn't guilty of the same thing in GS3 and that nonsense which was GS2-3.

In other words, the game is in as good hands as it has ever been. And Takumi off the GS train means he'll have time soon for Ghost Trick 2 or maybe some other new IP.


Ah, yes, it's very true. I very nearly lost a DS that day.

Eshiro's problem with GK1 that got worse in GK2 was (in my opinion) Edgeworth's limited range as a protagonist. He'd been fleshed out so thoroughly in the other games there was literally nowhere for them to take him that wasn't retracing their steps (which is why Edgeworth had to discover what it means to be a lawyer over and over). The cast was so bloated with cameos it left very little room for original characters, which meant forcing the drama to revolve around a limited number of people that had little to nothing to do with Edgeworth himself. Add to that the fact the Edgeworth isn't exactly big in the empathy department, and toward the end of GK2 I felt like I had no connection to the cases going on. The one time that Edgeworth really broke down and got emotionally involved, it was just so over the top and ridiculous. AND IT MADE NO SENSE THAT PHOENIX WASN'T THERE FOR IT. Bah.

So I'm not sure what this means for Phoenix back in the driver's seat. We already have a lot of Phoenix's backstory plotted out, from before he lost his badge. He's done the "life lessons for lawyers" class a few times already. I don't think the writers are as nervous of making him appear foolish or flat out wrong as they were Edgeworth, so hopefully the cases will go back to having a believable degree of tension. If his stint away from the courtroom helps him to empathize more than ever with his clients, great. But it's already hard for me to imagine how they can make the states higher for him than when Maya was kidnapped by an assassin (or on trial for murder, or trapped in an icy cave...). Can they even threaten to take away his badge again? They're going to have to develop strong bonds between Phoenix and his cases hopefully WITHOUT resorting to cameos in order to keep things fresh. But there are two areas they can definitely tap:

1. Phoenix's time as a non-lawyer. Maybe a friend of his (from the bar?) got in trouble while he was disbarred and unable to help, and now Phoenix has the chance to revisit their case. I know Capcom wants to shuffle that era of Phoenix's hobodom under the rug, but it's an important part of his characterization, and I'd love to see Phoenix expressing gratitude to someone that helped him out when he was at rock bottom with a new daughter, that sort of thing.

2. Phoenix's relationship with Trucy. If they want to say that Apollo is handling his own cases and Trucy is helping him offscreen somewhere... I'll deal. But they can't write Trucy out completely, she is his daughter, and still a minor when this game takes place. You don't get to see the daddy-daughter relationship in most games (and when you do the dad is dead, especially in this series: Karma, Byrne, Russel, Drew, Zak). We have a unique opportunity to see the father's perspective here, and I hope they embrace that rather than pretend Trucy's totally autonomous, or that she disappears back to Kurain when convenient or what have you.

Im playing case 4 of Apollo right this minute and realized something. I always remembered the jurist system to be pretty much a real life jury system. But its actually a lot more limited. I think the end where you vote not guilty stuck with me and madee think that, but from how people are talking the judge still makes the final call. The jurists are more like advisors who arent even in the courtroom. I think this means the system might be in place in GS5 and not mess with gameplay at all. In fact a jury might even work well with that emotion gameplay.

Gosh, I've been waiting for this day. Feels just like when everyone was freaking out when AJ was first announced. I'll be honest, my first reaction upon hearing Phoenix was the lead again was negative. These past few years since the release of AJ have really divided the Ace Attorney fanbase. There are those who thought Apollo was a terrible protagonist compared to Phoenix and that the whole disbarment plot was bad. Then you have the Apollo camp that like him, the AJ characters and don't mind having Phoenix stepping down from the limelight.

I'm definitely in the Apollo camp. While I love Phoenix, it's hard to see what sort of development the creators can take him with anymore. It's kinda like having Dumbledore or Mia as the main character. While they're really cool, they're so wise and seasoned that it's hard to imagine room for character growth from them anymore. I feel like Apollo is a much better candidate for character growth and providing an enjoyable story. I always thought it was a shame that even in his own titled game he got all the glory stolen from him by Phoenix's story. There's so much I want to know about Apollo, like why he became an attorney, how was his life was as an orphan, what his reaction is to his true heritage,etc. There's so much room for development compared to Phoenix in my eyes. Plus, just compare what you knew about Phoenix by the end of the first game compared to what we know about Apollo by the end of his game. While we, the audience know all about his true relation to Trucy and Lamoroir, Apollo himself doesn't. The last case of AJ was all about Phoenix. By the end of the game, Apollo really hadn't done much of anything.

Geez, I didn't mean to turn so rambly. I'm okay with it now, Phoenix looks daper as heck and I'm just excited to have a new mainline game. I'm sure both Apollo and Trucy will be central characters due to their relationship with Phoenix. Hopefully even if he isn't the main character, we can still see some character development for Apollo.

I agree with this. At first I was pretty "meh" when I heard that Nick was coming back (and that he had a new assistant, which already had a negative impact on me since I was really, really, really looking forward to seeing an older Maya), but damn did that redesign win me over LOL. The new assistant, in my opinion, resembles Trucy a lot, but I know that not much has been revealed about her yet so I'm not jumping to any conclusions. The new 3D models look interesting and are definitely a step up from sprites if you asked me. I just hope the animations run smoothly and don't appear choppy because that would just make playing awkward and annoying as hell.

Now, regarding Apollo...

I'm going to flat-out admit that I dislike Apollo and didn't enjoy playing "his" game. But that's because his character just wasn't fleshed-out enough and for all intents and purposes we were just playing a Phoenix clone in red clothing and with stronger vocal chords. Apollo hasn't even been mentioned at all in the news we have regarding AA5 so far, so I really don't know what Capcom decided to do with him. They didn't retcon the events of AJ:AA, yeah, but there are SO MANY loose threads hanging. Keeping my fingers crossed that Capcom finds a way to resolve these, even if they're just mentioned in passing. I have, however, read an interesting theory on these forums about the possibility of Apollo switching to prosecution.

In AJ:AA Apollo seems really pissed about the Court System since it "protects criminals" (replay Case 3 Turnabout Serenade, he's really bitchy about it when Daryan refuses to testify). Someone on these forums (I forget who, though) said that Apollo's personality isn't really fit for a defense attorney at all, and that he'd be much more suited to being a prosecutor.

But until we get more info, who really knows? Personally I'd like to see Kay Faraday as the main prosecutor.

P.S. Is it me, or does Phoenix NOT look like he's 35 years old? He looks 21. Reverse aging? :P

I played Apollo before Phoenix Wright, and while that made the flashback case less intense it really helped get a good perspective on the character and also Apollo seem more important. Because I hadnt played any AA gale before, Apollo was mind blowing and I really loved the characters (especially since I had nothing to compare them to.)
Phoenix's character had a "LOST"-like mystery to him because I didnt know him from the other games. When I went back, it was nice to know where hed turn up and it helped my experience with his character a lot.

But replaying Apollo after the others, I can see why people dint always like him much. The characters while good arent always always at the level the originals were. They did a good job making them different but Apollo and Trucy sometimes feel like a Phoenix and Maya clone. (this was mostly done on purpose, though). Wrights story still holds up really well, and will probably become the most important part of that story. I almost think newcomers should play Apollo first, as it would give them more to love from the game, but I guess that would also screw up the impact of the original.

Thanks! So I guess the new girl is there from the beginning. Usually the games start out pretty quickly so unless they have a huge cutscene in the beginning that might hint that we know her somehow already. Although it could also be the Ace Attorney's formula of "introduce it in the first case, explain it in the last case."

I also wonder what that little box is with the conversation bubbles. Could this be a record of everything that's been said in the case? That would be a great feature. There have been a few times where I miss an objection because I misremembered a number or a statement from an investigation phase.

I was reading the capcom forums about this game, and someone pointed out the people in the shots. There are a lot more people than were in the courtroom in earlier games, and a lot of them are dressed like normal citizens. Also, rather than having them up on a balcony above the lawyers, they are seated at the back of a courtroom much more simliar to the traditional courtroom/jury bench. I at first was concerned about the game making Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney irrelevant, but now I think they're starting to do the opposite. It seems they're taking a lot of care to make it a true sequel (from a storyline sense

I agree with LightningFistCat, I didnt DISlike Apollo but really wanted to know more about him, his character wasnt fleshed out enough in AJ, maybe he wanted to be a magician/performer but got pushed into law, or something? Its a shame we didnt know much of his story.
The irony was by the end of Nick's first game, we knew more about Nick than we did about Apollo at the end of "his" game. We know Trucy and Apollo are sibilings (half siblings?) but Apollo doesnt, how would he react to that? Surely big story threads like this need to be touched upon and cleared up?

Hi, just a comment about GS5...

I love GS but it's really sad that Shu Takumi isn't involved in this anymore (and that's maybe the main reason I don't really like AAI), it's just not the same without him.

For me, the first three games were enough for the series, but then AJ happened, and although I've always though that it would never be superior to the first games, it's not that bad. But when I finished AJ I felt like there were way too many holes left... For that part I'm glad they're making GS5, because yeah, you have to make new characters and new plots and all, but they can't just leave Apollo and Trucy abandoned like that! They must be in the game, and not just that, there has to be some development with them.

So now... seeing Phoenix Wright as the main protagonist, I would really love to see Maya and Pearl. Some of you have said that maybe Maya is very busy being the Master, but I don't believe Maya would just leave Nick and her sister's agency alone. The Fey Clan were a great part in Nick's life, and I refuse to believe that they just lost contact or something like that.

They don't need to be the central plot, not anymore, but at least they should still be alive in the series. Right? :D

PD: The yellow girl's design... it bothers me a little... butOH MY GOD with Phoenix, he looks.... he looks so... *drool*... *GASP* Wh-what did just happened!?!!

It would definitely help if we at least see Apollo in Phoenix's eyes here, I think a character can be a bit more interesting when the player isn't actually controlling him because it's a bit more subtle that way. However It also really wouldn't surprise me that much if Apollo gets completely ignored, by simply referring to him as that defense attorney in red, after all this is the AAI team, they did their very best to walk around the disbarment, chronologically speaking just so they won't step on Takumi's toes with conflicting storylines, characters etc.

The very fact that we know very little about Apollo's backstory, makes him very susceptible to being on the prosecuting side, so I understand why people think that. And yes, fuck yes I want to see Kay as the prosecutor, either that she must be the new assistant in disguise. :P Any AAI exclusive characters would definitely be a treat, cameos or little hints anything that can connect both GK & GS together, and the possibilities are way higher now since the AAI team are the ones mostly involved.

The idea of Apollo become a Prosecutor fascinates me, since it'd explain the statement of Eshiro that Phoenix returned to court to keep "an important promise he made to someone". He promised Thalassa to look after her Kids. If Apollo went astray Phoenix would probably decide he needs to repeat what he did with Edgeworth and Object some sense back into the kid as well, for Thalassa's and Trucy's sake and for Apollo's own. Trucy'd probably be rather depressed that Apollo left the agency.

Hmmm...Apollo turning into prosecutor...
Not sure how I like the idea...

Granted; Api was eager to prove himself in the AJ.
In that sense, if he's all for the glory and impatient person,
he might switch from little to no-know defense attorney to prosecutor.
And like Neni gal here already stated, it could give some interesting possibilities for the story.

But I'm still bit against it though...
Sure we don't know why he became a defense attorney in the first place,
but I just can't really imagine him as a prosecutor.
Red against blue or not... :/

I'd be for it. Kristoph is a psychopath and Wright is a manipulative bastard. That'd be enough to make one doubt their profession by association.

I would absolutely love it if Apollo basically Sebastian Stark'd. Even more so if he was now under the wing of Edgey.

I can't see Apollo becoming a prosecutor. He became an attorney because of Phoenix (even though he was under Kristoph's wing). After Gavin disappointed him, he still wanted to go on as a defender. The only scenario that would warrant a career change would be if his idol, Nick, did something that would destroy the defense attorney inside him.

Well, about Prosecutor Apollo Justice, I actually wrote down a theory about this (which got me quite a few "Why would you post this?!" Gifs on tumblr. :yuusaku: ) which describes exactly how a plot like that could work very well.

Spoiler:
So, recently the theory that Apollo might have switched sides and be the Prosecutor for GS5 have cropped up. Me and my friends pondered over that theory and have come up with a more detailed version as to why that could be.

Phoenix’ design in GS5 has the locket with Trucy’s picture on him, but he’s no longer wearing it around his neck, but in his chestpocket. Close to his heart. This has been confirmed.

Also, in an interview, Eshiro stated that Phoenix returned to court to fullfill an important promise.

Remember the end of GS4: Phoenix promised Thalassa to look after her children. Well then, get out your tissues, here comes a very sad theory:

Sometime soon after GS4, Apollo and Trucy are investigating into a case, but go too far and are too daring. Trucy is killed in the investigations, to stop her from passing on information to Apollo. Apollo is, naturally, devastated. Frantically, he puts his all into the case to pin down the criminal and get revenge for his partner, and he eventually collects enough solid evidence to take him down. He thinks he got him…

…Except the Jurist System. The guilty party manages to twist and turn the evidence and testimony into a sob story that makes him look like victim more than a murderer. And he gets away mildly. Apollo is madened by how this System, this system HE helped get installed into the law, caused Trucy’s murderer to go unscathed. So much, he stays crying in the courtroom even long after the trial ended.

Afterwards, an equally shocked Phoenix (but not traumatized - he saw dear people die before. It hurts a lot but he can somehow deal with it) finally confesses the truth to Apollo. That Trucy was his sister. That’s the final straw for Apollo, he is DONE with Phoenix, DONE with his lies, his ideas, his using him to his own end and him not being there when Trucy would have needed him the most. (Though, the last wasn’t Phoenix’ fault.) He leaves the office and becomes a Prosecutor, bitter, and intent on making sure that, Jury or not, never again will a murderer like that walk away free, never.

But for Phoenix, the matter isn’t done like that. He hasn’t just lost Trucy; Apollo’s behaviour and experiences also give him servere flashbacks to Edgeworth’s situation a decade ago. He feels he failed his promise to Thalassa in it’s entirety and makes a decision: He needs to get Apollo back. He needs to restore his faith into Justice and people. He needs to do this, for Thalassa, for Trucy and for himself. That’s why he goes back into Law. What worked for Edgeworth should work for that Kid too, after all, right?

Except Apollo is still a Gramayre and Nick, (as his new system beautifully underlines) is a Poker Player, a Bluffer. Apollo’s speciality is seeing through Bluffs. Through Phoenix has a surprisingly hard time winning trials against what used to be his vastly inferior student…

It’s like elementar weaknesses. And Perceiving beats Bluffing, as Phoenix must now realize. So he has to give it his all if he really wants to get through to the kid…

Eshiro claims GS5 would have a “darker” tone than the earlier games, and what is darker than killing of Phoenix’ beloved daughter right before the game, as well, as giving another character the Edgeworth treatment… On-screen?

It’s just a theory, but I think it’d make sense.

It’s also compatible with my earlier theory about the Yellow Girl if you think about it.


The only thing I dislike about my theory here is that it involves Dead Little Sister. But, seriously, as long as she's around, I can't see Apollo switching sides. If you guys, however, can change the theory around so Little Sister gets to survive, I'd be very grateful. :minuki:

:udgy:

Turning up the drama a few notches, are we?

Spoiler:
I am fairly sure that Phoenix didn't have someone as close as an adopted daughter die before... the closest person would be his mentor Mia. But I guess what you mean is that since Phoenix wasn't traumatized by that, he wouldn't be traumatized by Trucy's death either.

I can think of some things that could happen to Trucy that could evoke the same effect, like putting her into a long coma, but such things would cause her to suffer too. That could be even worse.

Question is, would they be daring enough to do something horrible (murder or otherwise) to a well-established character? Mia doesn't count, since she was only known as a mentor before 1-2.

Hmm... :yuusaku:


But I can see them making the game dark for other reasons. However, I'm not a writer, so I have a hard time speculating ideas. :yogi:

GS5 is just going to highlight what's already been established before: the justice force is corrupt (police and prosecutors). They're just going to show us how dark it can get.

It's possible that there's more to it, though. Good writing usually has more than just one layer to it.

Then again, I am automatically assuming here, that this is going to have good writing... :payne:

The justice system always seems corrupt anyway in the AA universe - I know in UK/US we say 'innocent until proven guilty' - is it truly the other way round in Japan and other Eastern countries?
