It introduces the spirit medium nonsense and thus can be entirely blamed for that shit. It gives you a piece of paper as evidence in the first few minutes of the case and the big reveal that closes the case is that despite having it in your inventory (or a copy/image/however the evidence bag works) for the entire case, you never looked at the backside of it and doing so cracks the case. It's incredibly unsatisfying as a gameplay and storytelling element and I know Phoenix is often played off as a bit of a dumdum, but how stupid do you have to be to not have the brain function to turn over a piece of paper? And even then, that's not enough to fully close the case. A ghost literally has to blackmail a confession out of the bad guy in the middle of court. It's baffling. You won. Because your dead boss blackmailed someone.

Like, there are cases that are more boring or otherwise less enjoyable to play, and less significant in the main storyline of the franchise. But there's no case that has ever made me ask why I'm even playing the same way that 1-2 does.
