Apollo was bad in his first game but has become good. Neither Phoenix nor Apollo should be retired but are reaching the point they work better as support for a less experienced attorney.

i don't get the love for apollo justice but at the same time i get the feeling that people who really like apollo and think phoenix should be retired don't understand what's likeable about nick. it's an ouroborus of misunderstanding

He's kind of plateaued as a character and reached the height of his development. Like for the last 2 games his main role has been as the experienced boss who helps other characters grow and go through their arcs. There's just more potential with Apollo and Athena (especially Athena now that Apollo had a game fully about exploring his past and him graduating from the Wright law offices, and starting his own office is a good end for him too) getting focus and cases about them. I love Nick and he's a cool and good dude but there's more to explore with the kids.

Also maybe for once in this goddamned series maybe we could get a trilogy that is actually planned out from the start

Apollo was fine in his first game, it's just everything else that wasn't.

Yeah, Nick works as the established boss character and the new attorney should get the main crux of the story. But we also havent somehow finished the Apollo/Trucy plot so whatever.

I feel like that plotline being abandoned as well as Trucy's decreased role in 5 was a byproduct of Capcom going "poo poo, people got mad at 4, step back, step back!"

That was the right decision since the main thing that game had to prove was that they could salvage what was left of the series after that. They also focused on the wrong thing anyway since the two are already siblings, parents be damned.

I mean SoJ ended with Thalassa and Phoenix meeting up and going "yeah we should probably tell them".

Also, Trucy is definitely going to play a bigger role in AA7 when she takes over Apollo's perceiving duties as Athena's assistant after Apollo is arrested for the murder of famed singer and now artist Lamiroir.

Isn't the period between the end of AA3 and Nick getting disbarred only something like a month?

This will happen but it will turn out to be a replica of the world built underneath San Fransokyo and the game will secretly be the second Professor Layton crossover.

Nothing exciting to see here. Move along.
It'd be neat to have Phoenix in a support role now that they finally did it in SoJ's final chapter's final half, though I think it'd be fun with them switching which of the attorneys become the lead depending on the case and whether or not they're awailable or not. I'd also be down for more cases taking place outside of Japanifornia. I'd also be down with a game focused on Apollo Justice and his newfound quest to fix and reestablish Khura'in's law system (perhaps getting visits from Phoenix and/or Athena somewhere along the way).

In general, I guess I feel that having multiple lawyers around so that they can switch up who'll be the lead and assistant is the best way to go about it.

I like Apollo and Athena as a team better than any other investigation/court team so far, so I'd love to see Apollo and Athena become a main team again when Apollo is finished with his work in Khura'in.

(But in general, I'd love more lawyer duo teams because being flexible about which one is the lead and which one is the assistant is a good asset in my opinion.)
