like the most suspicious character will be the actual villain?
While these twists are usually surprising, I find them incredibly unsatisfying
"No way X can be a villain! He's too much of an asshole!"
*X is revealed as the villain*

I think cases generally need larger casts at this point, though. I don't want them to get too bloated, but in Cases 2 and 3 of DD, every witness except for one person (the killer) appears on the stand for the first trial day
Yeah, what's been going on with this? I felt like every villain in AA6 was revealed implicitly the second I met them and if not then a while longer. The entire second half of the final case I was like "Man, I really don't know who it could be" because in my mind I was already excluding the most obvious contender from the "it can't be THAT simple." thinking.
This is where the series needs to rely on the idea that villains are hard to nail even when you know they're the culprits, but I feel like they still present it as if it's a mystery all the way to the end who the villain is supposed to be. The player can see through the writing's scenario from a mile but we still have to wait for the characters to logically climb their way, rigidly, until they're like "that's it, we know who did it!". I really liked how obvious it was made in 4-3 who the villain was even before the final trial and then IIRC you could sense how Apollo probably knew it too but he was sticking to the facts. I'd have liked that a bit more in some of AA6's cases.
