5-6 lands just below the 9.0 mark and currently stands as the highest ranked non-finale case. Indeed, many people said exactly that: this case is the best non-finale case in the series and an excellent example of how a case doesn't need drama to be really, really good.
Summary:
Phoenix and Maya's exchange trip to London is interrupted when Phoenix is asked to defend a strange girl, Espella, on charges of assault. But why is she pleading guilty?
Main Characters:
Phoenix Wright, Maya Fey, Espella Cantabella, Darklaw, The English Judge, Flynch
Other Characters:
Johnny Smiles, Olivia Aldente
My rating: 2/10. This is...certainly a case that exists. It's a shame that PLvAA has a unique gimmick with magic being presentable and mob testimonies, but the first case doesn't really do any of that. Also, the really good PLvAA soundtrack doesn't play here! We instead get a remix of AA1's soundtrack, which...well, it's
nice
but I don't really like the remix. I don't like Espella, but she's especially bad in this case by not...emoting at all. Johnny Smiles feels kinda like a fanmade character. That said, I'll give this case a point just for Olivia. She's a fun character and adds some surprises in this case. It's also so short that I really can't fault it that much.
