#also you still have Ga’ran as the final boss

[princedrewwrites]

there’s a part of me that wishes they had swapped Nahyuta and Phoenix’s role in Turnabout Revolution, so that Phoenix was the final boss instead of Ga’ran and Nahyuta was Apollo’s co-counsel. just swap it so Nahyuta tries to retrieve the Orb for Ga’ran (something like oh it’s a personal treasure not a national one) and make it so Ga’ran is holding Phoenix hostage or something

for one, I think it makes a nice narrative arc of Phoenix being the first client that Apollo defended -> him being the last lawyer Apollo defeats in court, which would also heighten the emotional stakes more

but also I think it have been better for Nahyuta’s character writing, because Nahyuta is a character we see under a very specific set of circumstances and we get maybe…5 minutes of him not under Ga’ran’s control? his character doesn’t get time to breathe. I think revealing the blackmail earlier and giving him a proper chance to defy Ga’ran/help the revolution would have helped to give him depth that actually comes from seeing him on screen, and not just being relayed by other characters. it would probably help flesh out his and Apollo’s relationship by having them interact on good terms for more than 5 minutes, and you could still make him the final defendant by having Phoenix/Ga’ran accuse him.
