Ah, right, forgot that for some reason that whole thing is considered 6-5 including that first chunk.Honestly the first chunk of 6-5 itself plays a huge factor in how good 6-5 is imo. Atishon-Sarge-Datz is an insane lineup of culprit, witness, defendant. Phoenix playing the prosecutor is cool too if you can get over the circumstances making him one is a bit contrived and a retread. Apollo and Dhurke get into an active situation that has Illegal of Fate playing. Sarge's therapy session is also probably the most understandable circumstances for a therapy session in court too. Everyone played a decent role here.
Apollo was accused of murdering the franchise.That counts.He got away with it, too!
Apollo has never lost a case!
The lack of information about AA7 is just making me go slightly cuckoo regarding the series' continuation...I sometimes wonder if the difficulty of knowing where to go next with the series is part of what's keeping it from continuing
The real issue with AA7 is that Shu Takumi (AA trilogy, AJ, and GAA) and Takeshi Yamazaki (AAI, DD, and SOJ) seem to be done with Ace Attorney.Oh? What did they move on to?
Plus, there's no reason to move on from Athena yet anyway. There's still plenty of story to tell with her.I mean the reason to move on is that they've had two games to do anything interesting with her as a protagonist and they basically haven't. I'd love an Athena game but I'm not confident they can pull it off, or even want to.

I'm mostly just sad because I don't feel like there have been a lot of good successors to this style of game either

Partly because they were busy reestablishing Phoenix in DD and wrapping up Apollo in SoJ. It wouldn't be too difficult to craft an Athena-centric game at this point. Phoenix would still be involved, of course, but she could take the lead at the end.I hope you're right, I'm just less than convinced. *shrug*
I'm pretty sure Takumi wanted to retire Phoenix since T&T. His four games since then have been AJ (Hobonix), Layton vs Wright (T&T-era Phoenix), Ghost Trick (no AA at all), and GAA (no Phoenix).I literally mean what's Takumi's job now if he's not working on AA7? Last we saw him he was doing promotional stuff for the AJ trilogy, but that's not enough for him to be working on for years.
Takumi was front and center for Ghost Trick HD, he was even in the Nintendo Direct for several minutes. Wasn't that long ago!I wouldn't be surprised. A creator's most successful series is not always what they actually want to work on.
I got the impression from that show that what he wants to do is more Ghost Trick....

Yamazaki seems to have left Capcom in 2020. Not sure what he's up to now.

I wonder how this poll goes if you remove AA4 and AAI.
