So this is a thread for discussing love for the Phoenix we see in this game (no character bashing please). I'll start us off with some pretty fan art of our favorite poker playing hobo.

Yeah, I'll admit, maybe he stole a fair share of the spotlight from Apollo, but I personally would've felt cheated if they hadn't given any explanation behind the incident that ended his career. Hell, I nearly fangasmed when I realized I got to play through that case.
But yeah, Phoenix was actually pretty badass in this one. And don't pretend that his personality shouldn't have changed at all over 7 years, because that almost never happens. Everyone experiences something that changes their worldview in that kind of timespan, and Phoenix not only lost his job due to forces beyond his control, but became a father. As a result, he became notably less high-strung over the years, which only makes sense.
I also like that Phoenix was able to both affect major change in the legal system and kind of break the fourth wall at the same time. What a way to go out.

Gotta say, my heart skipped a beat when the falsified evidence showed up.
@Quadros I loved him breaking the fourth wall. Wasn't sure if I was Apollo during that part or me or someone else.

. I love how Trucy keeps asking Phoenix if he's going to find her a Mommy. XD Reminds me almost of Pearl playing matchmaker with Nick and Maya, actually...except not as blatant in Trucy's case. Also, personally, I don't think Hobonix is all that "immoral", per se. In a way, the forged ace was a fitting retribution for what Kristoph did seven years prior. The difference, of course, being that Phoenix's 'forgery' actually existed, albeit not being the same. More notable is the fact that Phoenix is a lot more "out there" in AA4. I'm not entirely convinced that the "white powder" is the only thing Phoenix was stockpiling :P
Phoenix's "secret mission" and its ramifications instill me with confidence that he still has that sense of justice we all know and love from the first three games. Here's to hoping he comes back and defends proper for at least one case in GS5. Black suit + sky blue tie ftw?!?

I found him funny in the 3 previous games, but now I think he's awesome (and sexy!!).
I like the little sadness in his eyes sometimes.
He's been through a lot of things, he couldn't remain the same.

Ah, good, I wasn't the only one thinking that. :p
I've said this elsewhere, but I think I like Nick now more than I did when he was actually the ace attorney. I can't really put a finger on why, oddly enough, but I still have about 75% of 4-4 to get through, so maybe I'll come up with a reason after that.

"My only gripe was that just because he's not a lawyer anymore doesn't mean he can't shave once in a while lol (technically he just LOOKS like a hobo.. nothing else). And I wanted a surprise sprite where he takes off his hat! That would've been awesome!

Or maybe not. In the eyes of the law, it doesn't matter why you cheated. Just that you did...I guess we'll have to wait and see for our hobo's future.

And he's adorable with Trucy <3. I can't help but think that his mellowing out has a lot to do wtih Trucy being around all the time: when your daughter can read your every physical cue, you had better learn to hide things quick! Seeing Phoenix's cleverness reflected in Trucy was really cute, too. It's interesting to see the kinds of things he passed on to her.

I'm not devoted to the thread name and can always change it if people would prefer something else. Suggestions are welcome.
In the meantime, more fanart!

I wonder if there's much fanart out there of older Pearl, Maya, Edgey, etc.?
(for what it's worth, I think the "x or X?" topics are still cool :P)

That last bit of the game was nice though, because we got to see that he's basically the same character at heart, just matured, and with a different outside (not just appearance wise, but outer personality).
I still haven't warmed up to him as much as I feel I should have, but I appreciate.

When I got to that part in the game, I really did feel like he was the old Phoenix again, which felt great, but you could feel the jadedness begin to grow. When Trucy came into the picture, it was heart-breaking. I could see him slumped over a desk trying to call around to see if Trucy had any relatives or guardians to look after her, only to find none. The first time he talked to her in the office you could feel the strain on his voice as he's talking, saying how he doesn't know how to raise kids (if you examine Charley during this sequence he makes some kind of remark saying, "I'm sure kids need to be more than just watered" xD). He was so uncertain during this period and when the screen faded to black, he talked about how hard it got at times, and I wanted to cry for him.
And then We see Trucy's sprite on screen and Phoenix said how she helped pull him through those dark times. The moment he said, "She was my light.." I REALLY wanted to cry!To that effect, you can see him much more collected 7 years later, thanks to Trucy's bright smile. Everyone say awwww~

I still don't fully understand this picture. Is Apollo threatening to cut off his hair antennae because they refuse to take to the gel he's holding?

Raising a child is so much different than just hanging out with Maya and Pearl, after all. Even if Phoenix got to act like serrogate familiy to them, at the end of the day they still go home. It's a lot different when you live with a kid 24/7 and are the sole person responsible for their well-being. The idea of Phoenix as a father really touches my heart, and it's too bad we won't get the chance to see more of that, from the beginning of their time together (though I love their present day interaction, too <3).
Which is why I'm glad there's so much fanart of it .

The MASON System is broken... How can you take evidence into the past?
And how could he show his memories to the jury? I chuckled after realizing that he didn't have the mystic ability to break the fourth wall AND time travel.
