- Eshiro knows a lot of fans want an anime, but such a project costs a lot of time, and they just never managed to get the timing right for something like that. And just an anime would be boring, so he would like to do something special with it if they were to produce one.

- Yamazaki would like to do something like a real-life game (i.e. escape the room games).

- Some people thought the game was too easy and they'll keep that in mind for future games

Thanks for the translation.


I am so glad to hear that.

Writers always give in to a little fanservice (Ema in AJ, playing as Edgeworth) so while I don't know about Athena in GS6, I think it's safe to say Apollo will continue to have a large role. I mentioned it before but every single character who appeared in both of the GK games improved from GK1 to GK2 (exception being Larry, I suppose) so I do have faith that the writers will improve Athena

I'm not too surprised Maya still ranks high but I am with Godot. I'm also surprised to see Klavier made the top 10, though, and that Fulbright beat out Blackquill. Did anyone else notice that 6/10 of the entries are prosecutors? (And the entire bottom five are prosecutors as well)

Fulbright beating Godot and Blackquill is a pretty big surprise too... Due to fanservice, I wouldn't be surprised if

I am so glad to hear that.

I wonder if Athena not making top 10 will affect her role in the eventual GS6? Anywho, that last bulletpoint makes me think it will be a long while before they show what the game after DGS will be.

Possibly, but I don't think that's too bad. AA5 already told quite a lot of Athena's story, while there is still much left to Apollo's. So AA6 can easily concentrate more on APollo, and Athena gets a smaller role (I still hope we can play as her at least once).

Can you post a link to the full rankings?

Whaaaaaat? That should come as no surprise!

I swear Gumshoe gets no respect... In all seriousness, though, is there a more... primary source for the character rankings? The SA post mentions a stream...

- A lot of fans reacted positive to Apollo's role in the game

I'm just curious about the "there will be more games after DGS" quote because now I'm not even sure they are working simultaniously on two Ace Attorney games at once anymore.

It's A Wonderful Life With Penny Nichols

I'd buy it

The official popularity poll was also hosted on a Nico Video live stream. That's what the original poster was referring to.

It had two stages, actually: the one for the top 50 characters, and the one on Nico with the top 8 + Athena, but since it was a live stream, voters only had a short time to choose.

It'd be tragic, because Penny would realise that literally no one cared about her after all.

Is there any permanent link to this, by any chance? Not that I personally would follow it necessarily, but once the SA post is too old for non-users to look at, what then? It would be nice to have a primary, permanent source for this info.

Phoenix Wright 20.9%
Apollo Justice 15.5%
Miles Edgeworth 14.9%
Athena Cykes 12.1%
Maya Fey 11.8%
Godot 9.3%
Bobby Fulbright 7.9%
Simon Blackquill 5.2%
Yumihiko Ichiyanagi 2.4%

Whoa what I thought the difficulty been fine so far...then again I approach the game as a casual gamer :P

I would not be opposed if the consequences for getting answers wrong was akin to JFA though

Everything related to ios releasing seemed spot on

I don't know why apollo is #1, all I see from his DD character is that he's gotten a lot more smarter figuring stuff out. But im on the 4th case so ill reseve my udgement

I might also be biased though since I feel like GS6 would have a better chance at localization than GK3 would. Also If they did make a GK3 I'd want it to be set during the GS5 era. I'm tired of the original trilogy era at this point. Playing as Blackquill (with Edgeworth as a supporting character) would be great.

There's some REALLY dumb moments in Case 5 and the DLC case that hurt because the answers are so obvious.
Still you'll see them in time. I also really think the Mood Matrix should come with penalties, it's already a ridiculously unorthodox method that goes totally balls up if the witness says "No....that's not what I'm feeling" so I feel it should be subject to penalties for trying the Court's patience.
