Approximately 10 years ago, I walked into a Gamestop and bought some weird game about anime lawyers.

My life has never been the same since.

Man I didn't even hear of them until 2 years later when a friend told me I had to check out this weird game. I played through the first case on his DS and immediately informed him I was stealing it for a while.

I still remember asking my uncle to drive me to the store so I could get a game about being an attorney. He was very confused.

A tiny bit more news.



Apparently the game takes place in both Kurain(starring Phoenix) and Japanifornia(starring Apollo). I'm sure the plot will make that make sense somehow.

Also, Gaspen Payne is chief prosecutor of Kurain. :allears:

So the only way he could get a respectable law career after being exposed as a corrupt prosecutor was taking a job in a kangaroo court, at which point they made him the head kangaroo.

Sounds about right.

Once again, Apollo/Athena/Trucy's side of the plot will be law-themed Home Alone.

Phoenix realizes that three kids are way above his level of parenting and runs away, spends his sabbatical slowly learning that he's really a good dad in the end and it'll turn out fine.

Then he returns to Japanifornia and Apollo, Athena, and Trucy have burned the offices to the ground.

Seconding this. Now that we actually have more than 1 lawyer, I'd love to see some focus going around for all of them now. (Besides, I liked the dynamic between Apollo and Athena and how good they worked together, regardless of which one of them was the main attorney for the case they worked on.)

I imagine she's going to be Apollo's co-council. Maybe taking over when Apollo inevitably gets arrested for murder. Which is bound to happen sooner or later.

Framed by Zak Gramarye, as channeled by a rogue spirit medium, so as to make sure Trucy inherits the title of Top Magician, all the while nobody has any idea what he's talking about or why he's doing anything.

But really, I want Apollo and Athena to take cases together. The way they work as a team just feels so right and they kinda make each other into better characters overall (and it'd be really neat if they take on a case where the client fools them Matt Engarde-style and see how they react to taking on a client like that).

But also because I ship them about as much as I ship Maya and Phoenix because I'm an ultragoon and am total trash. :v:

This series is really cool. I just bought the trilogy when it was on sale and now I'm at case 3 of Dual Destinies. But flipping through the thread a bit, some people don't like Blackquill even though he's a cool faux-samurai man that tells bad dad jokes and insane prison anecdotes, and is generally a nice contrast to the other ones I've seen since he's just a dude doing his job competently that doesn't hold palpable contempt to the player like Godot did. Or help obviously innocent people nearly get convicted. I don't get it. :confused:

Are you sure about that?

Trucy had a marketable profession before Phoenix.

Meaning she was the first person at the firm.
