Sorry if this has been done or is against the rules....

This is my desperate attempt to bring Phoenix back as the protagonist of the AA series. I believe that Capcom could write him back in. I just like Phoenix better, there was more humor, he worked better with Maya than Apollo with Trucy. I think they need him back because he is very charismatic. I do like the perceive system but the Magatama worked out of court making it more interesting knowing things BEFORE court. Perhaps a dual series where Apollo and Phoenix join? I just really want Phoenix back. and seriously what kind of nickname is polly?



Please sign this if you want him back. Feel free to post your opinion, just don't flame.

Online petitions don't work. Besides, a lot of people here will agree that after three games... Phoenix has had enough time in the sun. It's Apollo's time. No one can change that fact.

As for what happens in GS5, we have no idea. Let Capcom do their own things.

Hm...Phoenix is much cooler in Apollo Justice than in the previous games. He's just more...confident and collected. His humor was awesome too. Maybe he could be in the court or not. Maybe you play as both Apollo and Phoenix. I dont know.

I would have loved it if Phoenix starred in the sequels, or even if we could have moved on to Apollo with the reassurance that Phoenix still had a bright future in law ahead of him, but what's done is done and there's no going back to the way things were. But hey, the future hasn't been written yet and anything could happen, including Phoenix making a return as the main character. I think Apollo deserves a fair chance though.

Phoenix and Maya's story has been fully resolved to a beautiful closure in T&T Case 5. Let's leave it at that. Any involvement of Phoenix Wright should be in intervention of the ongoing story of Apollo Justice and Trucy Wright. Any old characters brought back should also be in somewhat of a conjunction with the on going story.

I like Phoenix's new role as a mentor. And as much as I miss Maya, I hope she doesn't reappear in future cases, because if she does, it means she's involved in another murder case, and I think she's been caught up in enough of those for one girl.

Personally, I cannot see a different between playable pre-hobo Phoenix and Apollo in terms of personality. I am not sure if it is because of localization or the creator's decision, but it seems that once we playable attorneys in the game have the same attitude. For instance, they seem all sarcastic and jackass-like in how they react to other characters. I mean, they would talk behind other's ppl back or whatever. However, when you aren't controlling them, they suddenly have a unique and different personality. Phoenix seems to be written as a laidback oddball who seems to get into accidents frequently. But when you play as him, his personality is a bit cold and sarcastic. The same can be said for Mia. Edgeworth in the other hand has always been a jackass.

Personally, I like NPC hobo PW since he is seems to have more character depth than playable PW.

Yea they are very capable of creating a different first person personality. Just compare the difference between playing Miles for 1 fraction of a case and playing Apollo. Playing Miles had a radically different feel than playing Phoenix, however Apollo sort of felt much of the same.

However I can spot minor differences. Phoenix is more of an idealist than Apollo is. Apollo seems like he's more in it for the money and prestige. It might come from his upbringing however. Mia raised Phoenix to help out and trust clients no matter what. A little of Kristoph's hunger for pride and prestige must've rubbed off on Apollo a bit.

I understand that Edgeworth is different than Apollo since as I said before, he has always been a jerk even as a NPC. I wasn't clear before about that, but I meant that Edgeworth's personality didn't change from NPC to playable character since Capcom seems to know how to do reluctant and sarcastic characters better than any other character traits; it seems that Capcom just amped up the jerk-o-meter for the narration during the part one can play as Edgeworth. It would be nice to play a completely different character with a different personality in an AA game. Someone like Trucy or Maya would work since they seem to be the more naive, positive-types.

I too see other minor differences between PW and Aj as well. Apollo seems to be obsessed with his voice, where he occasionally mentions his voice training while Phoenix appears to have no interest at all (from what I recall.)

Also, I thought it was swell of Capcom to protray Phoenix as somewhat of a closet tokusatsu fan. I mean, I somewhat suspected it in PW1 and 2 since Phoenix's phone has the steel samurai ring tone; I thought that it might be Capcom's lazyiness of reusing music, but after playing AJ, one can see that he is very much into the genre and seems to somewhat denies being a fan (ex., if I recall, he says he has nothing to watch but these tokusatsu dvds that were sent to him by some kid. However, he then says that he has to watch them so that he doesn't get behind in the storyline.)

I love both Nick and Polly.Nick is cool, but watching young boy Polly growing up is fun, too. =v= It might be difficult to tell the difference between young Nick and Polly(because both of them are supposed to have a common personality, I guess),but still ,you can see Polly is smoother than Nick and tell jocks in a subtle way. And somehow...I can really feel Polly is younger than Nick, he has more energy and enthusiasm.Nick was an adult while Polly is a teenager(even he is not as a matter of fact).Which also make him silly some times.

Maybe in GS/AA 5 Capcom will go back to their VS game roots and introduce...

THE CROSS OVER TAG-TEAM LAWYER SYSTEM!!!

For example:

If Phoenix has trouble reading the witness, then tag out to Apollo and break out his percieve powers, likewise if Apollo encounters some Psycholocks then tag back to Phoenix and use his Magatama to shatter those.

And when things are at their worse, one can turn around things by realeasing a Cross Over attack powered double OBJECTION!

Best of all something like this could open the door for two player play.

Sure it sounds crazy and super unrealistic even for a GS/AA game , but it could work....

I figure Phoenix makes a better investigator than Apollo. I can see players controlling Phoenix through the more complex investigations and have Apollo handle the courtroom. It could work very well, although it raises the issue of developing Apollo's character.

I still thought it was strange how much work they did on the magatama. I mean, making a 3D model of it spinnign and everything? My. I mean, if they arn't planning on having it being used in the future, I guess that efford is kind of wasted.

But as for tag-teaming, hell yeah. Maybe even having both the magatama and the percieve system used? For instance, you could use the percieve to get rid of psyce locks without any actual evidence ( :garyuu: ), or use the percieve system to trigger a magatama response in court.

But Capcom usually knows what they're doing. Whatever they decide, it's gonna be great.

That would actually be freakin' sweet if it worked out. Like, you could have both of them at the defense's bench, and doing investigations together, and allow the player to switch who they're controlling on the fly. Think of the situations they could insert that could use that function.

-Let's say you're investigating and controlling Apollo. You've found all the evidence you can, but there's some witnesses that just seem off. The player switches control to Phoenix (and his Magatama) and uses his ability to see Psyche-Locks to break the witnesses.

-By the same token, let's say you're in court and controlling Phoenix. The witnesses' testimony seems solid, and if you don't find a problem your client is boned. So, you switch over to Apollo and see if you can use the Perceive system to spot a habit you can use to perform a brilliant turnabout.

This could easily be done, since the defense is already allowed to have and aide in the games, and the aides seem to be allowed to object on their own (Mia did it all the time).

That's a really good idea, I'd love to see Capcom use that. And as someone previously stated, that could bring linked two-player functionality to the GS series.

I honestly really like Apollo and I like Phoenix's new role as mentor. Phoenix's story is complete and now its time for Phoenix teach Apollo as Mia taught Phoenix. What I really want in the next game is more development of Apollo. Not just his personality (Which started off being different from Phoenix's personality, but by the end was a little closer to Phoenix than I liked. Don't get me wrong. I love Phoenix's personality, but Apollo isn't Phoenix and he should have a distinct personality), but also I'd like to know more about Apollo's past. There is still so much we don't know.

Apollo is the hero now. You need to accept that. I do not want Phoenix to be playable anymore and I really hope Capcom doesn't do that in any way (well, I wouldn't mind if we play an introduction case with him as someone suggested elsewhere). I really like Apollo and he deserves to be developed more. Phoenix's story as the hero is over. AA4 has tied his story up nicely and they don't need to focus another game so much on his character. Phoenix is still one of my favorite characters and I'm glad he played such a large role in this game. But now it's time for him to really step aside and let Apollo fully take the spotlight.

They should give Phoenix his attorney's badge again, but not to play as him.
I just say, the biggest improvement that they can make is make the characters more interesting and give more spotlight to Apollo.

Personally, I'm all for the idea of giving Nick back his badge and making him your courtroom mentor, similar to Mia's role, owning Wright and Co. (Wright and Justice!) Law Offices and generally working besides Apollo on cases. But as has been said several times, Nick's time as the hero is over -- I wouldn't mind seeing him get back in touch (and in turn, introducing Apollo to) all his previous friends (very specifically, Maya, Pearl, Gumshoe and Edgeworth -- as much as I like him, introducing Apollo to Larry would just be a waste of brain cells... on Apollo's part) as a group cameo appearance (plus, I wanna see teenage Pearl -- if she went on to grow up like Mia, she's gonna be one hell of a hottie).

But I thoroughly agree on the fact that Nick's time as the main hero is over. Time to move on and become the more knowledgeable sidekick and mentor. =)

You do realise that this means Phoenix will be murdered, just so that Apollo can avenge his fallen mentor.

Which of course will lead to him never being able to tell Apollo and Trucy that they are siblings, which could potentially cause some serious shenanigans down the road. :hotti:

I was joking in regards to my last comment, but your quote did alert me to the fact I had misspelled Phoenix one time in my original post.

And yeah I too was a huge fan of the Capcom VS series, and seeing as Capcom also makes the GS\AA series it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to apply the same kind of Tag Team play found in the fighting games to the courtroom drama.

To be honest, I was kind of goofing around when I first thought of the idea, but as other posters had mentioned if executed right it can make for a very fun experience.

Especially if you throw two players in the mix, imagine if you will a two player investigation. One player controlling Phoenix, investigates one side of the crime scene, and the other player controlling Apollo investigates the other side. (IE each player has their own set of locations and witnesses to talk to.)

And then right before the trial both players confer with each other about what they found out, meaning that all the information they've gathered indivdually will be brought together to make up the full story. And thus will be able to use their findings to make a united case.

I know it would be really hard to implement, but if done well it could be the greatest game play innovation ever.

Um, Phoenix never left ok. He's still there, just not an attorney anymore. He's even laughed off the idea of becoming an attorney again. He doesn't even have a motive. Bringing him back now would just be in bad taste.

People keep saying this and I don't know why. The games always have a mentor figure that helps the protagonist. Mia was dead, not gone. She was channelled all the time in the course of the three games to train Phoenix. In this game as it stands now, there are no active spirit mediums (and even if Maya and Pearl came back, a male spirit has never been channelled in the games). It doesn't make sense for them to kill off Phoenix because they can't bring him back to help so you would completely lose the mentor figure which was a big part of the games. Besides, if I recall correctly, I read somewhere that Mia was killed off because the game designers thought Phoenix had too many allies so they did a two for one deal. That doesn't apply here as far as I can tell.
Spoiler: 4-1, 4-4
Kristoph is knocked out pretty quickly, but Phoenix picks up as the mentor figure almost immediately. You even see tinges of his taking over that role in 4-1 before Kristoph is gone. You still have the cryptic mentor in this game. Over the course of the game, Phoenix is even referenced repeatedly as being Apollo's mentor. Apollo certainly doesn't try to avenge Kristoph, so the mentors aren't being knocked out so that they can be avenged. In the cases of Mia and Kristoph, it was merely a plot device, not a pattern.

Spoiler: all of the game
I'm still not certain that the laugh in the ending credits was him laughing off the idea of becoming an attorney again as much as relief that it was over and amusement over the situation "Maybe I'll take the bar exam... again." Why even bring it up if there wasn't any possibility there? It isn't a forgone conclusion that he wants to or that he can before the credits, but this indicates that he not only would be allowed to but at least gave the idea some thought. Besides there were comments like in 4-1, from the judge, "You really do belong in the courtroom, Mr. Wright" and in 4-4 from Apollo "(Once an attorney, always an attorney I guess)." I think there were a couple other comments that I'm forgetting as well. I'm not saying its a definite, but I don't think the idea of Phoenix getting his badge back is excluded by the game. I don't disagree with the point that its Apollo's turn in the spotlight, but I would like to see Phoenix become a lawyer again.

Phoenix had three games, Apollo is probably going to have three games...

I'd love the idea of having Phoenix back in the lead-role in GS7. You'd be playing as an older, veteran defense attorney and it would put a different twist on the game, plus they'd be bringing back a fan-favorite.

Also, I don't see why he shouldn't be a lawyer again. He went to law school and became a lawyer so he could defend the innocent. There are innocent people being accused every day; a lawyer's job is never done! I could see Phoenix stepping back into the courtroom if his services are needed. He could defend until he gets old and grizzled! XD

People keep saying this and I don't know why. The games always have a mentor figure that helps the protagonist. Mia was dead, not gone. She was channelled all the time in the course of the three games to train Phoenix. In this game as it stands now, there are no active spirit mediums (and even if Maya and Pearl came back, a male spirit has never been channelled in the games). It doesn't make sense for them to kill off Phoenix because they can't bring him back to help so you would completely lose the mentor figure which was a big part of the games. Besides, if I recall correctly, I read somewhere that Mia was killed off because the game designers thought Phoenix had too many allies so they did a two for one deal. That doesn't apply here as far as I can tell.

Technically Gregory Edgeworth was channeled by Misty as part of DL-6,

However a female channeling a male has not happened on screen, as it raises, awkward questions.

Very true, but as you point out we don't see it on screen and therefore its likely that Phoenix would not be able to be included in the game if they killed him off (particularly since the idea raises... bad images that are probably best left alone for everyone's sanity). On top of that, its a really cheap move in general to simply kill him off like that and its not necessary. My point still holds. Besides, they seem to be trying to lean away from the whole spirit medium thing in this game. Now we're into magic! :minuki:

It doesn't matter to me when they bring back Phoenix - As long as they do it.
It's fine for me that you get a new hero in GS4, a new bunch of characters and so on ...
But for me, Phoenix will ever be the cult figure. (*sigh*)
Variety is the spice of life and that's cool ...
But I want Phoenix, Edgeworth, Gumshoe etc. to come back ...
I mean, I just finished the first game and I already love them totally ...

No.
Why are people making such a big deal? You people are morons. Apollo isn't a bad character, and he's approximately 12 times more huggable than Feenie-boy.
Stop whining. Phoenix and Apollo....they're barely even characters! They're just the eyes the player sees the world is. Who cares who you play as? As long as the game is fun, it shouldn't matter.
So stop your whining and fucking deal with it.
