No one knows, but Adrian got at most 6 months for mutilating a body and tampering with the crime scene, so Lana is likely free now.

More importantly though, I'm wondering why Angel Starr was not given her old job back since as far as we know, the only thing she was fired for was seeing through the real culprits.

I read it as yet another old character Capcom
won't refocus on
Angel was so disgusted by the corruption and loss of her coworkers/friends she has no faith in the system being properly rebuilt, also as after working in such a traumatic field it was probably downright refreshing just to sell lunch to people. Kinda reminds me of Guy Eldoon taking over the family business after being drummed out of his original career. Come to think of it, a lot of characters lose their original jobs and end up working in food in some way in these games.

Too bad it would be too similar to Blackquill, but Lana Skye could be a great prosecutor foil to Athena in AA7. Maybe she distrusts psychology in that it could be used to sway witnesses into fake memories/false testimony (considering how Gant gaslit and manipulated her for years).

That was always a thing, she pretty much started on that path when she got kicked out of case 1.

"wich the worst part was what troll face did to sonic's corpse after words wich was rape it. at that point i looked away"



Lana being the prosecutor in the next game is... actually a pretty awesome idea. Built-in cool backstory, built-in distrust for the system and psychology, built-in drama with her relationship with Ema... honestly, I would love to see her come back filling that role.

It also helps that Rise from the Ashes is one of the best and most memorable cases in the series and practically no one would be against building upon it, I don't think.

yeah, I'm totally on board with Lana coming back to the fold against Athena. would make for some good story. I wonder who will be Athena's assistant? If they have a case in Khura'in, I hope Apollo's assistant is Alhbi

Interesting character concepts from the visual book:

The big wall of Nahyutas



Maya actually looks like an adult!



Gaspen's got a bit of a role model...



GO BACK TO NATURE! You tell 'em, Pees!



At one point, Bonnie was more of a Katie.



I think I saw Datz on a t-shirt once.



(Case 5 spoilers) Armie had a lot of concepts.

Dhurke had a lot more of a revolutionary look to him.



Mr. Reus, or Tao Pai Pai to his friends.



Archie Buff, or The History Teacher From Persona 4 to his friends.

Rise from the Ashes is definitely in the top 3 of cases and Lana would be a badass prosecutor, but I think that, again, they'd like to avoid referencing any other game and just have new content for the next game. Ema is the one exception to the rule and she owns but I don't think they'll do it again.

e: ^Those are good but I think Mr. Reus looks better in the final version. There's not a single thing I would change about that character, actually.

Yeah, I agree, but I feel I know why they went the way they did. They didn't want to make it too obvious that he is Dhurke's son. Making him take on Amara's features also helped with the reveal in a way..

I wish his design was less white one way or another, he's just one solid mass of light. Which I guess is the intent to his design, making him look like a blindingly bright, godly figure, but it doesn't really work for me (the "game cover" for SoJ drives it home, it's easily the worst looking in the franchise to me).

Klavier is a cool fun character. Dunno why he's so hated when he's bursting with personality and from what I remember not an outright rear end in a top hat. After playing a game where the prosecutor has all the character of a bowl of oatmeal I dunno how you all can poo poo on Klavier so much.

Klavier is hated because he's boring and has no character arc, for the most part. He's not bad, but he doesn't serve his role as a prosecutor well and he's not particularly likable either. That said, obviously your mileage may vary on the subject.

I think the worst part is that in AA4, he has an obvious possible character arc that is never really expanded upon. The dude clearly has huge pressure coming from his brother, I mean, the guys sport almost the same haircut, but they only have a couple lines between eachother. What a shame.

Because he doesn't play a large role in the story due to 4-4 being real bad and it makes him not leave much impact. Like, even compared to Nahyuta.

Also, people just aren't fond of a court opponent who is solidly on your side and never really gets too distressed or upset when you overturn his argument, since he's in this for the same reasons you are.

Klavier, while being annoyingly helpful in court, never ever comes to respect Apollo as a lawyer, which is just another part of why Apollo has no character arc in his own game.
