My dreams for AA7: -Athena as main defense -Franziska as main prosecutor -Franziska's niece (Manfred mentions having a granddaughter in the first game) makes an appearance... maybe she's training to be a defense attorney and is Athena's assistant, and the fact that she's a von Karma is a plot twist? -Gumshoe returns. The reason he's been absent is because he and Maggey had a kid, who we get to see causing mayhem at crime scenes because for whatever reason Gumshoe brings the kid to work with him
That's true, I recall the authors clarifying that the granddaughter is Franziska's niece through an older sister, so it would be natural that the granddaughter didn't carry the Von Karma name.
I'm thinking about a game, all 5 episodes of which revolve around one massive case, some kind of grand conspiracy, a group of villains that are united with some sort of a purpose, and each episode is us dismantling that group one by one, getting deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole, facing life-threatening situations, putting everyone's skills to the test, culminating in a trial that takes place not in the usual district courthouse, but the Supreme Court, unfamiliar territory where our names mean nothing to any participants
@@Asmodeus-D4rk We’ve only really seen the Supreme Court in Ace Attorney Investigations 2, from what I remember. So there’s a lot of potential to make it a larger focus of the next game, maybe have that be the court where Trials took place in. It would be cool to see multiple villains team up too, instead of each one being separated. It would be a nice change of pace in the story that the series has needed for so long.
About the artstyle: a lot of people say that Apollo, or just any originally 2D characters just can’t work animated as a 3D model. This argument stems from how Dual Destinies was the first AA game in 3D, and admittedly wasn’t the best when it came to its modeling or animation. But I think that he can be done justice (forgive the pun) in 3D. Look at the GAAC. The animation is fluid and cartoony, yet still believable. There are transitional sequences for each pose so that characters don’t immediately snap to a different pose. So in my opinion, if you want Apollo to actually look good in 3D, you should get into TGAAC’s philosophy. Don’t try to just recreate his poses/animations, reimagine them from the ground up so he looks more natural.
@@aplusgamer6595 Yeah, I agree, a lot of Apollo’s animations don’t look right when done in 3D. Remaking them from the ground up sounds like a good call, I’m just worried fans might get upset after being used to his normal animations for 4 games straight.
We saw Chief Procecutor Edgeworth in Spirit Of Justice. I really want to see characters from past games, aged and more experienced. I want to see Eustace Winner in a state similar to Pheonix in the first game.
Eustace deserves a lot of credit, especially for how he grew out of his fears and wanted to best his father. I hope we see him again, even if it was in AA7.
I honestly think Apollo deserves one last game before Athena becomes the main lawyer. He still didn't get a game where he gets full spotlight without any incovenience (like Beanix and the whole Dual Destinies fiasco). Just one more game with him as the ONLY attorney (and maybe a one or two Athena cases)
Perhaps, though from what I've played so far, I think the final case in Spirit of Justice puts Apollo to the test to see how good of a lawyer he can be when put up against Phoenix himself.
For awhile now I've thought about how they could do a Mia Fey prequel exploring her time as a lawyer. It would take place between convicting Dahlia and Phoenix's first case as a lawyer, and we get to see what kinds of cases she had taken up. Even include Phoenix as her new assistant learning the ropes.
@@rylade475 I didn’t think of that! Yeah we didn’t get to see much of her in the first few games from what I remember. I’d be down to see more of her in a spin-off or flashback in a newer mainline entry.
For Ace Attorney 7, I would have Athena become a prosecutor by the end of the game. Simon would be her mentor, and they could then have a spin-off investigations game with her being the main character. This why she gets more screen time, and then the main series games could introduce a new defense attorney for Phoenix to mentor. For a Phoenix Wright vs Professor Layton 2 game, I would include Katrielle in it.
@@AquaTwist_ Because of her friendship with Simon, and she might believe it would help her grow as a lawyer. Remember, she became a defense attorney in the first place to save Simon. I also liked their interaction in Turnabout Storyteller.
@@Official_RetroMania Agreed. Either works fine with me, the animations in Spirit of Justice have been significantly better than those in Dual Destinies, but I’d be happy with a return to 2D animations too.
@@AquaTwist_ Yeah I agree, Spirit of Justice really uped the game with animations sadly that game also performs really badly on the actual hardware, at some point I have seen running at 10-15 fps LOL. I thankfully played it on a emul... I mean on a "3DS" cough* so it run at a locked good frame rate, I think Dual Destinies run better but the animation quality was also very iffy. Now with the power of the Switch 2 I don't see any limitations, so they can choose between 2D and 3D, I don't think either one is cheaper or more expensive because even the 2D if they choose high quality art and animations like Famicom it will also have a certain budget plus all the investigation and evidence and court that Famicom Detective doesn't have. I think 3D is slightly more expensive (depending on how much they invest in the 3D models and other assets) I would also be happy with 3D slightly better than Great Ace Attorney because even that game looked INCREDIBLE and also run on the 3DS was even better looking than both Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice. Either way I just want a new Ace Attorney 😄 I will even take Great Ace Attorney 3 if we don't get Ace Attorney 7 😅.
I would absolutely love an Ace Attorney 7 with the art style of either the Famicom Detective Club games or the Arc System Works games, depending on whether they wanted to go with 3D models.
Yeah! Glad I’m not the only one! Spirit of Justice has better models than in Dual Destinies in my opinion, but I’d love to see a full-on return to 2D portraits for the next mainline entry. 😮
@@falconeshield I definitely think she will be. She seems to be a perfect fit for the future of the series going forward, especially with her high presence in Dual Destinies.
My dream game that seems very unlikely to happen would be a Great Ace Attorney sequel (possibly 4 since it seemed like they had plans for 3) with Ryunosuke going to America to fight against the California Alien Land Law of 1913.
@@rngwrldngnr that would be incredible! I can definitely see another Great Ace Attorney in between Ace Attorney 7 and 8 (assuming they’re making another trilogy). I have yet to play TGAAC, but I’ve heard nothing but excellent things!
Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright HD would do well if its made in the same engine as that of TGAAC, actually. That game laid the foundation that TGAAC built upon with gameplay mechanics, style, and aesthetiv, so I think it deserves a standalone HD re-release. A collection re-release is near impossible even if Level 5 decided to re-release the original and prequel trilogies unless they make a spin off collection(Alfendi/Katrielle/Crossover). Business wise people would be drawn to either collections of mainline games or collections of spin-offs. PLvsPW could use a new coat of painting if its marketed as its own thing once again as well as given a canon place in the timeline! If PLvsPW does get a sequel, then I imagine it as a game where Apollo and Trucy face off against Alfendi and Lucy. This way it can breathe new room into the Apollo/Trucy dynamic as well as repopularize Alfendi seeing that his sister got far more promotion but failed miserably. If another investigations game were to happen, then I think Klavier or Nahyuta would be proper candidates for the main role. Klavier could have Ema investigate his brother's wrongdoings and resolve Kristoph's plot once and for all(MAYBE a game with the brothers investigating alongside each other!?). Nahyuta is an international prosecutor, so you could frame the game to feature him solving cases across the globe with an overarching plot going on in the background??? For AA7 I personally think Athena and Apollo were mistreated because of Capcom shoehorning phoenix, but I think they learned from their mistakes for this one, so I wouldn't mind her getting a second chance, but I wouldn't be really that excited and jumping up and down if she gets her own game. I would definitely love to see a proper Apollo only game, or maybe, just MAYBE a true sequel to AA4 written by Takumi that connects AA4 to AA5 where you find out Kristoph's motive, what happened to the jurist system, expand more on the Dark Age of the Law, give Klavier more screen time, etc... SO many potential things can be done
I'd love to see more of Klavier! I missed him during Spirit of Justice and hope he returns in some way. I just don't know how Capcom can market Phoenix Wright Vs. Professor Layton on its own, unless if it was a budget $30 (likely digital only) HD release.
I think it would be cool to either have a full on Ace Attorney 7 based on Athena or maybe an Ace Attorney 0 where you get to play as Mia. Maybe the game could start from the end of Turnabout Memories to before Phoenix’s first case. Either way I feel like the next game should have a lot more cases (like 10) so that it doesn’t feel like a rip off since we’ve been getting Ace Attorney collections with 10+ cases for over half a decade now
@@ROYBGB I was thinking they’d probably include Ace Attorney 7 and maybe 8 as a dual pack with 10 cases total. Maybe that’s why it’s taking so long to announce it. Capcom definitely would want to make the next game worth purchasing after the last few collections have at least 10 cases each. But I don’t think they want to break the 5 case standard that’s been set for so long.
Ace Attorney Investigations 3 would probably be how Edgeworth became the Chief Prosecutor. Ace Attorney 7 should have that Anime Exclusive Case if there is a case that connects to that one. Why Ddid Turnabout Express had to be Anime Only.
@@pikachupower0025 Turnabout Express was only in the anime? Damn, that sucks, it sounds like a sick case. Also yeah, that makes perfect sense to see how Edgeworth became Chief Prosecutor. As far as I know they haven’t really explained that time period much.
@@AquaTwist_ There are also cases exclusive to other media (manga, stage plays) that might be fun to see a game version of as well! Personally, I'd rather see new cases, but it still might be fun to see something like Turnabout Spotlight for example as DLC or something.
@@theoriginalcatfish It’s been years since I’ve heard of Matt Engarde, but, that was a really great case from what I remember! We definitely need more Guilty verdicts or twist endings, it’s getting stale seeing Not Guilty be the final verdict for most cases.
The best route for the series going forward is 7 being a co-game. Focus it on Phoenix and Athena. We need to play it relatively safe, it’s been 8 years since we got a new game, and if this game alienates people mainline is doomed. Depending on the reception of Athena, you can easily mold the sequels to create an Athena trilogy, a Phoenix trilogy 2, or just a trilogy focusing on the both of them I think another edgeWORTH game is also an inevitability, if only because he’s the fan favorite and his collection did super well.
That’s valid. Make the first game a return of Phoenix Wright as the assistant to Athena, then have Athena lead the rest of the trilogy. I’d also love an Investigations 3. There’s so much potential in the gameplay mechanics that they can add since the last one was made in 2011 on the DS.
@ I don’t really mind who leads the next trilogy. I love Phoenix and Athena so whichever one is more successful is fine ig. Ideally I’d actually probably just go for both of them and you go back and forth
Thank you everyone for the support on this video! Glad to know there's a lot of Ace Attorney fans out there, and I'm excited to now consider myself one of them! I also added subtitles, so hopefully this video reaches a larger audience, or it makes it easier for people to hear what I'm saying.
Case 1: Phoenix defends a pop star's biggest fan. It also brings Winston Payne out of retirement. Case 2: Apollo must defend Rayfa in an American court when she is accused of murdering an FBI agent/good will ambassador. Prosecutor is Lana Skye. Case 3: Apollo and Trucy must defend Lamiroir. She also reveals her identity as Thalassa Gramarye. Case 4: Athena must come to the defense of Aura Blackquill when the latter is accused of murdering an old flame from high school. Case 5: The big one: Phoenix gets captured and it's up to Apollo, Athena and Mia to stop the unholy alliance between Garan and Morgan. Bonus Case: The newly married Iris Wright must defend Shaun Fenn as he was accused of murder before becoming inaugurated as the new president of Zheng Fa.
Spoiler for case 1, the pop star faked her own death to get her manager of her back, and the latter exploits his clients. For case 2 the culprit, Irma P. Oster, is a Rayfa body double named Ima Postor who was Garan's contingency plan in the event she was dethroned and goes to an extreme by launching a nucular missile at the Kingdom of Khurain. it does not work.
I just want them to move on to new characters if possible - The Apollo Justice is just a mess in writing; Apollo gets his spotlight stolen from him in his own debut game, and the writers can't decide what they want to do with him and Phoenix. Athena is just... there, after her "le epic" story arc is over, she literally has nothing else to do, and simply fulfills the role of being "the other one".
That makes sense. All 3 of those characters have had time to shine. My only concern is that a lot of fans would be upset if a new entry in almost 10 years didn’t feature any old characters in some way.
Honestly i always thought if we WERE to get investigations 3, i wouldnt want it to star miles edgeworth. He had such a good arc in 2 and there isnt that much left to do with him tbh Why not let another prosecutor take the reigns and get development? These games dont NEED to star miles in every game, just like the trilogy doesn't NEED to star phoenix in every game. Any of the other prosecutors could provide interesting stories, hell, i'd love one with Eustace, whose coming into his own as a prosecutor and showing what he's learned from miles. Imagine him interacting with the other series prosecutors and learning more about the dynamics of the prosecutors office, while figuring out his own identity as one himself. There's potential here and i want to see the series allow other characters to take the spotlight, because they have a lot of cool characters to play with.
It is interesting. I can see an older Apollo Justice or an adult Amanda Sykes getting her license. Now there was an Ace Attorney game that was going to be called The Final Judgement, but that was just Spirit of Justice's Japanese translation.
After playing several indies what I really want is for AA to shake up the formula and stop reusing past plot points and character tropes so much. The games are still fine but they could be so much more creative
@@hadoukenfighter Agreed. I’ve only noticed 1 of the cases NOT be about murder out of the entire mainline series so far. There’s so much potential for the series yet they keep relying on murder for almost every trial!
Despite how well the series has been doing financially in recent years, Ace Attorney has been dead for nearly 8 years. The last game to be released was GAA2 back in 2017, and the final story to have ever been drafted was in 2016 with Spirit of Justice, meaning we have gone almost an entire decade without a new story. Likely because Capcom despised the financial setbacks that were AAI1 and both GAA games, they'd rather make cheaper remasters which make way more money, and now there are no more left, so they HAVE to start anew. What we have to remember is that the first game had only 7 people working on it, and it's extremely low budget. Yet, AA1 turned out a success, seen as a great game by many despite its limitations due to the heart and effort that went into it. What Ace Attorney needs now is a testing ground. An entirely new spinoff to test the waters, with entirely new characters, unique gameplay, and most importantly, be entirely 2D and kept on a low budget with a small team of staff. Given Ace Attorney has made a name for itself with these remasters, this might kickstart the rejuvenation of this series, once thriving, now lying dormant.
@@torri776 I’m interested to see what spin-off they would do though. I’d imagine fans would be pissed if after years of waiting for AA7 they got something else instead for the newest AA game.
@@AquaTwist_ Well, I've been waiting 4 years for Ace Attorney 7 considering the GAA release was completely warranted and not a pathetic excuse to waste development time on remasters. It's clear that Capcom doesn't want to make AA7 a reality. If they do, I will be shocked yet also amazed considering it's been almost a decade since Spirit of Justice's release.
@@aplusgamer6595 Absolutely! She’s full of spunk and passion, arguably more than Apollo in my opinion. I think she would have really good animations in 2D.
i hate to bring some negativity into this comment section cause overall while i like all the games the first one and dual destanies i dont like that the give away the culprit in the 2nd case i can forgive the frachise for doing it with the first case of the games because its a tutorial but doing it after that kind of takes the fun out of it for me
@ also as far as the supernatrual mechanics go i think the least liked are percive and the divation pool whats your favorite and least favorite supernatrual element also would you like any of the villains to return like more or garran or engarde or would that be more lazy than creative
Now correct me if im wrong but the director left capcom so i kinda prefer for capcom to not continue the ace attorney unless the director is still with them or someone who knows the director vision its like metal gear series where I’d prefer for konami to not continue the series unless hideo kojima is the director
@@AquaTwist_ it is something like that but i’d rather see a great games being translated and released in newer consoles rather than continuing the story with a random direction unless the writer or director can continue while understanding the old director or writer vision Thats just my personal opinion
I think Phoenix Wright needs to get a wife and his own kid, and for that kid to become a defense attorney. That way they can tell new stories while still having Phoenix as a mentor, and Phoenix Wright continues his bloodline.
My dreams for AA7:
-Athena as main defense
-Franziska as main prosecutor
-Franziska's niece (Manfred mentions having a granddaughter in the first game) makes an appearance... maybe she's training to be a defense attorney and is Athena's assistant, and the fact that she's a von Karma is a plot twist?

Thank you everyone for the support on this video! Glad to know there's a lot of Ace Attorney fans out there, and I'm excited to now consider myself one of them! I also added subtitles, so hopefully this video reaches a larger audience, or it makes it easier for people to hear what I'm saying.
Case 1: Phoenix defends a pop star's biggest fan. It also brings Winston Payne out of retirement.
Case 2: Apollo must defend Rayfa in an American court when she is accused of murdering an FBI agent/good will ambassador. Prosecutor is Lana Skye.
Case 3: Apollo and Trucy must defend Lamiroir. She also reveals her identity as Thalassa Gramarye.
Case 4: Athena must come to the defense of Aura Blackquill when the latter is accused of murdering an old flame from high school.
Case 5: The big one: Phoenix gets captured and it's up to Apollo, Athena and Mia to stop the unholy alliance between Garan and Morgan.
Bonus Case: The newly married Iris Wright must defend Shaun Fenn as he was accused of murder before becoming inaugurated as the new president of Zheng Fa.
Spoiler
for case 1, the pop star faked her own death to get her manager of her back, and the latter exploits his clients.
For case 2 the culprit, Irma P. Oster, is a Rayfa body double named Ima Postor who was Garan's contingency plan in the event she was dethroned and goes to an extreme by launching a nucular missile at the Kingdom of Khurain. it does not work.
Good video bro✌️✌️
@@marioagiota208 Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🥳
I just want them to move on to new characters if possible - The Apollo Justice is just a mess in writing; Apollo gets his spotlight stolen from him in his own debut game, and the writers can't decide what they want to do with him and Phoenix. Athena is just... there, after her "le epic" story arc is over, she literally has nothing else to do, and simply fulfills the role of being "the other one".
That makes sense. All 3 of those characters have had time to shine. My only concern is that a lot of fans would be upset if a new entry in almost 10 years didn’t feature any old characters in some way.
Honestly i always thought if we WERE to get investigations 3, i wouldnt want it to star miles edgeworth.
He had such a good arc in 2 and there isnt that much left to do with him tbh
Why not let another prosecutor take the reigns and get development? These games dont NEED to star miles in every game, just like the trilogy doesn't NEED to star phoenix in every game.
Any of the other prosecutors could provide interesting stories, hell, i'd love one with Eustace, whose coming into his own as a prosecutor and showing what he's learned from miles.
Imagine him interacting with the other series prosecutors and learning more about the dynamics of the prosecutors office, while figuring out his own identity as one himself.
There's potential here and i want to see the series allow other characters to take the spotlight, because they have a lot of cool characters to play with.
It is interesting. I can see an older Apollo Justice or an adult Amanda Sykes getting her license. Now there was an Ace Attorney game that was going to be called The Final Judgement, but that was just Spirit of Justice's Japanese translation.
Sorry about that. It is actually Athena Sykes.
After playing several indies what I really want is for AA to shake up the formula and stop reusing past plot points and character tropes so much. The games are still fine but they could be so much more creative
This!! Even reading other mystery novels or series makes me realize that AA can get waaay more creative with their writing
@@hadoukenfighter Agreed. I’ve only noticed 1 of the cases NOT be about murder out of the entire mainline series so far. There’s so much potential for the series yet they keep relying on murder for almost every trial!
Despite how well the series has been doing financially in recent years, Ace Attorney has been dead for nearly 8 years. The last game to be released was GAA2 back in 2017, and the final story to have ever been drafted was in 2016 with Spirit of Justice, meaning we have gone almost an entire decade without a new story. Likely because Capcom despised the financial setbacks that were AAI1 and both GAA games, they'd rather make cheaper remasters which make way more money, and now there are no more left, so they HAVE to start anew.
What we have to remember is that the first game had only 7 people working on it, and it's extremely low budget. Yet, AA1 turned out a success, seen as a great game by many despite its limitations due to the heart and effort that went into it. What Ace Attorney needs now is a testing ground. An entirely new spinoff to test the waters, with entirely new characters, unique gameplay, and most importantly, be entirely 2D and kept on a low budget with a small team of staff. Given Ace Attorney has made a name for itself with these remasters, this might kickstart the rejuvenation of this series, once thriving, now lying dormant.
@@torri776 I’m interested to see what spin-off they would do though. I’d imagine fans would be pissed if after years of waiting for AA7 they got something else instead for the newest AA game.
@@AquaTwist_ Well, I've been waiting 4 years for Ace Attorney 7 considering the GAA release was completely warranted and not a pathetic excuse to waste development time on remasters. It's clear that Capcom doesn't want to make AA7 a reality. If they do, I will be shocked yet also amazed considering it's been almost a decade since Spirit of Justice's release.
The original trilogy gyakuten saiban gba for the gba coming to America on the ds.. the first game came out 2001
@@Robato-yuh Correct. It’s crazy that they were Japan exclusive for 3-4 years before coming out in the US!
@@AquaTwist_yes testing the market is something all companies do from time to time
Do you think Athena could translate well into 2d?
@@aplusgamer6595 Absolutely! She’s full of spunk and passion, arguably more than Apollo in my opinion. I think she would have really good animations in 2D.
AA7 HYPE
@@Someone69769 YES! AA7 is gonna be HYPE!
i hate to bring some negativity into this comment section cause overall while i like all the games the first one and dual destanies i dont like that the give away the culprit in the 2nd case i can forgive the frachise for doing it with the first case of the games because its a tutorial but doing it after that kind of takes the fun out of it for me
@@kelsey1467 Yeah, the intro cutscene in the 2nd case of Dual Destinies was a dead giveaway, which was a bit disappointing.
@ also as far as the supernatrual mechanics go i think the least liked are percive and the divation pool whats your favorite and least favorite supernatrual element also would you like any of the villains to return like more or garran or engarde or would that be more lazy than creative
Now correct me if im wrong but the director left capcom so i kinda prefer for capcom to not continue the ace attorney unless the director is still with them or someone who knows the director vision its like metal gear series where I’d prefer for konami to not continue the series unless hideo kojima is the director
I think it was the Writer of the Sequel Trilogy who left, I’m unsure about the Director of Ace Attorney as a whole.
@@AquaTwist_ it is something like that but i’d rather see a great games being translated and released in newer consoles rather than continuing the story with a random direction unless the writer or director can continue while understanding the old director or writer vision
Thats just my personal opinion
I think Phoenix Wright needs to get a wife and his own kid, and for that kid to become a defense attorney. That way they can tell new stories while still having Phoenix as a mentor, and Phoenix Wright continues his bloodline.
@@TheLegoMaster261 YES! He deserves to settle down after all the stressful trials and tribulations he’s been through.
