This is my idea for a Ghost Trick sequel that I came up with a while ago, but please feel free to come up with some of your own!

Hey, I'm not sure if anybody already thought of this or not, but I came up with an idea for a sequel (Or at least a new conflict) for the Ghost Trick universe.

Now, this idea of a new conflict revolves around a villain that's both new and old. A being that has seen many family members die. A being that is conflicted about it's own purpose, and has been basically alone it's entire life (Because there is no one else like him). And more importantly, we are to blame for torturing this self-proclaimed "innocent" soul, and we do it seemingly without reason to everyone of it's kind.

Have you figured out what "it" could be yet?


Maybe he could even have the power to combine other ghost powers so that he can slowly (So slowly that the story takes place after Ghost Trick's present) build up an army of apparitions to literally crush the entire city and force people into hiding. Basically, he wants them to feel the same way that he has always felt for his entire life.

However, (This is another idea I had) that army may still need some protection so another dead character (Probably not a human) helps them out by using the power to manipulate metal (Only metal). They can use this metal (And the "combining powers" power) to create an armored giant that could easily accomplish the task at hand. It's later revealed that an older version of that metal-powered character, now realizing why they needed his help, tries to find a way to save himself, thinking that it would solve everything.

However, since he knows nothing about Temsik and can't remember anything about himself, he has no starting point and cannot stop himself from dying. A young him figures out his new powers and the cycle continues. Army thing has a plan, he gets roped into it, place is destroyed, he feels horrible and needs to go back in time to correct it, but can't.

I don't really know how that cycle would be broken, but once again, it's just an idea.

I think a bug would at least be an interesting main villain, though. I think that it would work well.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my ideas. Let me know what you think!

You lost me after the villain identity part.

After playing the first Ghost Trick I was convinced it wouldn't ever need a sequel since it closed the lids on so many things, but now that you mention it, the origins of the Temsik could be something to be explored, potentially making the series become a trilogy. And I bet there would be a lot of new tricks (no pun intended) if the series evolved on the 3DS :)

I think your idea is interesting enough. It would work as a concept, though maybe I'm not too fond of the army-building thing and I don't think Ghost Trick should go to the scale where an entire city is gonna be threatened. Bigger is rarely better, so I'd stray from that if I wrote the games.

The city part also kinda bugged me (pun slightly intended), but the idea of such a villain terrorist character would be quite a nice one.

Yeah, I can see why a city at stake wouldn't be very appealing (And frankly it's been done so many times).

Also, the second part of the idea (Regarding the armor and other character) was just a way of explaining how destroying a city would even be possible. I do think that a bug would be a great character since we really do treat them pretty badly (Not that I'm some sort of bug activist or something) I think it would be some nice motivation for the character.

Hmmm…for the past 2 1/2 years I've not been expecting or wanting a sequel; I literally think Ghost Trick had one of the best endings to not just any video game, but any story told through any medium ever. Every one of the several crazy mysteries resolved, every baffling question answered, everything somehow managing to make perfect sense, and just everything…perfect!
But I think you may have something there. As long as the story is enough of a departure from the original and doesn't ruin the first one retroactively then it could all work out well!

I believe the creator of the game had an idea of a crossover between Ghost Trick and Ace Attorney, where Phoenix died and had to solve his death, and Sissel acted as prosecutor. If there was a sequel, that would be an awesome thing to have. Especially after the Professor Layton crossover.

Yeah, idea... Not much more. He was talking guesses there, not coming up with actual plot.

Hey, everything starts as an idea and not much more!

I love Ghost Trick as is, and I'm not sure how well a crossover would work... but if it ever happened, I'd be the first one all over that. Bonus points if Missile and Missile get to meet somehow.

Well, I'm just glad that he's still thinking about Ghost Trick at all. While I'm not seeing this crossover idea, I'm seriously hoping to get a sequel to Ghost Trick at some point. I know a lot of people are saying that the game is fine as-is, and that there isn't really a need for a sequel, and neither do I. But.. well, let me put it this way: if Takumi made and released a Ghost Trick 2, would you seriously hesitate from buying it?

I had an idea for a story and game, which I posted in a different topic:
