#'its consistent for phoenix to defend orla because he cross examined the parrot' maybe its someone elses turn. for silly stuff.

i actually dont even hate apollos role in the main story of dual destinies. like. sad they couldn't give him an actual sequel but given that they just HAD to bring phoenix back for branding they did a decent job of keeping apollo involved and having an excuse when he's offscreen? because of the whole assault in the first case and doubting athena in four/five? its fine i guess and he does get to develop a bit from that whole arc

its the FREAKING!!! dlc that actually pisses me off. as a case reclaimed is definitely the best in the game but the way that it just shoves apollo to the side right at the beginning so that it can be ANOTHER phoenix case where ALSO athena is the assistant again because they dont really respect her as an actual lawyer for more than one case is just so LAME!!! and BORING!!! and it SUCKS!!!

it could have just been an athena case! she needed it! making phoenix's big return the tutorial case which makes sense! apollo could have used another cocounsel case! just because its a phoenix game for branding doesn't mean the dlc has to do that too! you already used phoenix to sell the game so its not like the people who played it are gonna see the dlc and not know who athena and apollo are! more time to build their relationship so its a bigger deal when he's upset about her lying to him! and isn't it way more in character for athena to care about orla than phoenix does anyway
