#phoenix wright ace attorney duel destinies

[never-forget-viva-la-pluto]

You are Apollo Justice and your life has been this:

First your biological father dies in an intentionally set fire and your mom goes missing on the same night...

Then your adopted father gets framed for assassination of a royal, resulting in you living alone in another country, saying goodbye to your dad and brother...

Then your mentor, the man who taught you everything you know about being a lawyer, kills a man in cold blood and defamed your idol, Phoenix Wright, at the same time. This results in your mentor getting a life sentence, effectively getting you fired...

Then it gets worse. Your best friend since elementary school gets murdered and the court house you took the case to gets bombed and you are nearly killed by falling rubble...

THEN your dad finally comes to take you home but it turns out that your dad was fucking murdered days beforehand and he was being spirit channeled in the body of your boss's friend, whom he died protecting, and you spend days with him before your find his corpse and learn of his murder.

I don’t think investigating a crime scene just after a heavy rain storm is the best idea. Especially in a white suit

Ace Attorney is wild. I'm having a trial in a broken courtroom held by a mad woman, one of my daughters is on trial with so much PTSD she's not entirely sure she's innocent, my other daughter is a hostage, I have no idea where my son is, and my husband is poking the crazy robot WHILE OUR DAUGHTER'S LIFE IS ON THE LINE!

I have finished Spirit of Justice and I have OPINIONS:

These are not going to be at all well organized instead will be tangent filled and disorganized af. Bear with me.

First of all the trilogy itself id describe as a…interesting sandwich, we have a rocky depressing start but with absolutely solid new characters. The absolute masterpiece of Duel destines being a completely amazing set of cases consistently. And then…this absolutely devastating rollercoaster. I think the cases in Japanafornia are solid, great cases. While the first 2 cases in Kura’in are…they’re pretty bad, especially the 3rd case of the game. And that issue is entirely because the characters from Kura’in are incredibly uncomplying. Nahyuta is a complete asshole and hypocrite who shows no signs of his change. And Rayfa is a spoiled brat. Neither of these characters change until the last half of the last case. That. Is. A. Problem. Why should I care about their changes when I haven’t seen a steady pattern of growth from them? Instead we get coin flips. That’s not compelling that’s a waste of my time having to read their stupid. Boring. Dialogue. I hated Nahyuta so much I stoped voicing him for a while in my play though. The best way k can describe why he sucks is because he wasted 4 dialogue boxes to just say he likes peaches. He drags on about nothing. After following the incredible acts of Gavin and Simon the best was I can explain my disappointment is by pointing out how both they before him had the ability to admit when they’re wrong and be helpful in a case. Nahyuta said Trucy was a sinful being pretending to be a cute little girl. That’s not a great introduction when we know Trucy is far from that. They keep saying he’s “kind and generous” but they show no action confirming that idea. The writers forgot about the core rule of “show don’t tell” that man was awful constantly and consistently. So when we get to the final case, I don’t give a single flying fuck about his feelings or change of heart. Because I’ve been given no real reason to care. Speaking of the 5th case. Oh my god. I cried so much about Dhurke. And part of me is upset because that proves the writers could make a character worth bringing me to tears and he had so much less screen time then Nahyuta or Rayfa. So they proved they can write characters that don’t suck ass from Kura’in. So I’m just all the more disappointed. Finally. I hate Apollo staying there. And that’s for multiple reasons. One, I don’t like the kingdom of Kura’in. Best way I can explain that is due to the fact it doesn’t have its own voice as a distinct country. I can clearly tell it’s a large melting point of every country from the east. What am I supposed to latch onto if it doesn’t truly have a culture? It’s biggest defining feature is it’s hostility towards me. So my reaction is to want to get tf out of there as fast as possible. Secondly as I’ve stated. All the characters in Kura’in are fucking boring. Or annoying. Or whatever. I don’t want to spend my time talking to them. Therfore I don’t want to be in this location. Okay two. I love Apollo. And I’m terrified that he won’t be a main character in the next game. I don’t want him to come back as a cameo character in a single case. He is a core part of the main 3 I’ve come to adore and I want him to be there. As a main character. Consistently. And I don’t know if he is. And I’m worried. So the ending made me feel bittersweet, upset, disappointed. This cast I’ve come to know as a family. And then being together is important to me. Is that stupid? Personally Idgaf it’s my feelings and I’ll get myself attached to what I want. I will criticize the writers for these decisions because they’re also written an amazing franchise that I’ve come to adore incredibly. I care about this game and it’s characters and I want to see them together. The end of duel destines where they all 3 point together left such an impression on me. As an artist and a character designer (not professional in any sense but it’s what I love to do) I respect the fuck out of the creators for making the cast of Wright anything agency. But the fumbles in Spirit of Justice have me concerned for the next game in the franchise. I hope to be proven wrong in my fears.

I think Klavier should have been the prosecutor in Ace Attorney 5-3 (Turnabout Academy), and the defense should have been Athena and Phoenix.

The only main reoccurring character to really get character development in this case is Athena. Apollo and Blackquill are fine, but they don't really do much in this case. But Klavier and Phoenix? Oh boy is there a lot of potential there.

For one, the murder victim is someone Klavier greatly respected and trusted. Considering how things turned out with previous people he trusted, it would make sense that he would consider this case personal and want to take it on.

That already has a lot of potential for character development, but the real kicker is that in this case the prosecution presents forged evidence.

Imagine how amazing it would be if Klavier presented forged evidence in a case against Phoenix? Imagine the moment when Klavier realized that their roles had reversed? Suddenly Phoenix has the opportunity to take vengeance. He could accuse Klavier of forging it himself. He could press charges. He could do everything Klavier did to him if he wanted to.

But he doesn't.

When Klavier says he didn't know about the forged tape recorder, Phoenix believes him. When he says he is dedicated to finding out the truth, Phoenix believes him.

Phoenix gives Klavier the second chance, faith and trust that Klavier never gave him.

This could have forced open a whole other side plot about Phoenix and Klavier working out, or at least attempting to work out, their complicated history.

This could even tie back in thematically with the main three students in this case and how they are all lying to each other! There was literally so much possibility here and I feel like I am the only one who sees it.

I havent seen anyone point this out yet but, it's CANON that Edgeworth and Wright went on a date a few days before the trial of Athena Cykes

And where did they go?

To see their daughter's magic show

That's super cute

Going between Apollo justice and Duel Destinies, Phoenix is very much the same man in both games, but its almost like he can relax. Like his jaded nature very much does come out in the Academy case.

I get the vibe that Nick is friendlier in DD just because people aren't out to get him and he can finally breathe.
