This is just something I've been wondering about... I want to hear other people's theories and thoughts and ideas and stuff xD

Anyway, before AA, it would make sense from JFA that Maya is living in Kurain Village. However, the conversation in 1-2 makes it seem like she's alone, not with Morgan and Pearl and other people... Although maybe she has her own little villa or section of Fey Manor that's her own?

The beginning of 1-3 takes place in Phoenix's bedroom, and Maya tells him via phone to go to the office. If Phoenix lived in the office, Maya would probably just go to him and wake him up, but this implies he's living in an apartment or something. At the beginning of 1-4, when Phoenix suggests taking a cold shower, Maya says that their shower has lower water pressure... meaning there is a full bathroom in the office, which would suggest it has other living spaces. Those are all the lines I remember that could lead to thoughts about this... Any I forgot?

Well, it's clear Maya's not living in Kurain for the duration of PW1 [1-2's murder onward to end 1-4, maybe she's living on the 'mountain' when Mia calls her before the murder.]. Phoenix has no idea where she lives or how to visit after 1-4 [it's not even called 'Kurain' yet] so it's unlikely she's commuting back to Kurain - and that would be a 4 hours daily commute. She comes to the office every day - Charley gets overwatered in 1-3. I suppose it's possible she lives at the office when she's not at Kurain - but just a bathroom isn't so strange for the office, even one with a shower.

Here's Phoenix's bedroom:

Is that official art?
I remember when CR was cool and Croik was the only one in charge.

I also remember when we used to have respectable members. :(

I'm betting that Nick lives in an apartment of some sort.

Also, since the game has its origins in Japan, I don't think it's unlikely that Maya lives by herself in some sort of apartment. I've read enough manga that have characters who live on thier own using money sent to them by relatives. Hell, I even met a guy once who was living like that and I told him I thought it only happened in mangas.

In my head, Phoenix, Maya and Pearl(and later Trucy, I guess) all live in the Wright & Co. Law Offices together. Even if that's not canon. XD

Phoenix doesn't seem to do much in the office, besides talking to Maya, and cleaning the toilet. So even if he lived in an apartment far away from the office, I still don't think that's where he's heading, because he can't be late going there, since nothing happens. :lana: I'd say he's heading to court, but that's just my opinion.

Ditto, since I've never seen that before.

But I think the opening of 1-3 pretty much confirms Phoenix doesn't live in the office.

I don't think Fey Manor really fits the conversation at 1-2, and something like that might not have been what the writers initially intended, but I think JFA probably retconned it into her home. It is a "Manor," so again, she could've had her own little part.


...I'm not sure a small office like Fey/Wright & Co. Law Offices would have a shower... Of course, I'm not sure an office like that would have a living part thingy... (Maybe she just sleeps on the couch? xD)

At the end of 1-4, when Phoenix reads Maya's note that says she's leaving, it's 5 in the morning. And he's at his office. So he either lives in his office, or came to work very early that day.

Ooh, nice catch... Although I think he mentioned something about drinking too much, so maybe it's just that he passed out? :yuusaku:

It is official art: it's from the Naruhodo Gyakuten book, which had a bunch of art paired with little side stories (like the time Edgeworth "gave Phoenix a valentine"). I forget the story paired with that pic though. I have the book somewhere... Maybe it would shed some light.

The living situation is strange, because by AJ a few quotes make it sound like Phoenix and Trucy live in the office. Maybe there's a small apartment attached to it, or in the floor above?

I'm just gonna say that before AA1, Maya lives in Kurain as well as after AA1, then she comes back and lives with Phoenix innnnnnnnn.....

Wright & Co. Law Offices.
I think Phoenix lives there. Just a theory...but I really believe in it.

:kissy:
Thats why this couple actually makes sense...you know?

I think Phoenix lives in some room above the offices. Maybe it's a two-story building. The bottom floor is the work area, while the top is the living area.

Well, Mia was a successful young professional, right? (Phoenix did go over Fey & Co's financial records in first game, it was fine.) I'm sure she had a nice apartment in the city, I figure Maya would be living there. It could be attached to the office, who knows?

The entire building is rented, this includes rooms that may be on other floors.

It wouldn't be too hard to believe that Mia herself was living there, seeing as how there were no implications otherwise.

I vote that Phoenix lives in the building, with an extra room for Maya.

In my headcanon, Phoenix lives in an apartment above the office or maybe attached to it. But it would've been weird if he was living there when Mia owned the office, so I assume that Mia lived there when she was alive, then kinda left the whole office to Nick when she died... apartment included.
Anyway, I think Maya lived in Kurain at first, with Morgan and Pearl; after all, Morgan must've looked after her after Mia left, cos Maya probably wasn't very old then. And maybe when Mia called her in 1-2 and she said she was 'all alone on the mountain', Maya was just exaggerating to make Mia feel bad?
So anyway, I assume that Maya moved into Mia's old flat with Nick after she became his assistant. After all, surely she can't still live at Kurain - it IS 2 hours away, quite a lot of travelling for her just to mostyly bum around at the office all day. But maybe when she called him and he was in her bedroom, she didn't live with him yet; that's why she phoned him up. And maybe she just wanted to meet him down in the office.
Also, I kind of assume that Pearl stays at the office too with Maya and Nick sometimes, like in 2-4 and 3-2, since she's helping with cases. But the rest of the time I guess she just gets looked after by the village elders, as her mother is in jail.
Anyway, that's the way I see it! (Oops... wrote a lot >.<)

We see those inconsistences only because with every new game Capcom changed something, developed, you can say.
And about the theory of renting the whole building... I don't think that Phoenix can afford something like that, especially when he has Maya to look after.

So, basically, Maya lived alone at montains before AA1. Then she arrived and lived at the Wright and Co Law Offices. They have shower in there. Phoenix lives apart from Maya at that point. Well, I think Capcom just wanted to add some drama and putted them into different places to live. You know, it's cool when someone calls you at night and says: "quickly go to the office". The drama.
Then in JFA they created this whole Kurain story. Apart from that, we have a new information. Wright and Co Law Offices has enough space for Maya and Pearl to live there. Pearl is little, though, but still... Nah, that's probably nothing.
Then, in AJ we see that Trucy and Phoenix are probably living there. How's that? Well, that's just another Capcom's caprice.
They didn't want people to forget that ol' building, you know.

I can suggest that the building magically enlarges.
Oh and in mountais just as magically as Law offices expands, the Kurain village appears from nowhere and Maya is happy.
I think that's all the fault of Gramarye family.
Now slap me all you want, I'm ready.

Well, I think Phoenix lives in an appartment or something of the sort. That his office has a bathroom isn't so odd, I think; I'd bet there could be also a little kitchen :) And about Maya, I guess she's living also in her own appartment (or Mia's), at least until the end of JFA. At this moment I suppose she'd return to Kurain Village to perform her duties as the new Master.

Edit: I meant "until the end of T&T", not "JFA", LoL

There's definitely a kitchen there. I remember how Gumshoe cooked something for Phoenix in T & T (case with the restaurant?), if my memory serves me well.

Now I've just remembered that while staying in the office Pearls offers Phoenix to make some tea too. I don't remember the game, though.
