Does anyone think that some of the PW characters will return in the Apollo Justice era? I mean, characters such as Pearl, Maya, Larry, Edgeworth, Franziska, Gumshoe (I know Gumshoe was in the game at one point, but that was in the past...) State your opinion on the matter.

Wouldn't count on it, they get referenced subtly sure but Gumshoe and Meekins were more just Cameos to be honest still it's Apollo's era, there will be equally lovable characters with time! I already like Trucy more than Maya :garyuu:

I hope some minor character like Dee, Hotti, or Oldbag comes back.
I'm sure they won't, but hey I can dream :matt:

If most of the PW characters appear in AJ again, then AJ might turn into something like Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. And I don't see that as a good thing. T_T

(FE:RD had pretty much all of the characters from the first game and only about a dozen new ones. And all of the new characters sucked.)

No, this is what GK is for. It's got more returning characters than new ones so far.

See, you have the AJ enthusiasts (who want the game to be solely Apollo's) and then the GS enthusiasts (who want returning characters). 'Figure that having simply cameos would satiate both ends.


Sometimes I think they could use older characters if they are fitting....like if Ema worked with Gumshoe on a case sometime, lets face it on Gumshoe's salary he'll still be a detective.

THAT....does make some degree of sense actually :garyuu:
If Ema is going to be a main detective it wouldn't be that unreasonable to see Lana making a return....ideally with Gant's job but then again I don't think any of Gumshoes family or connections have ever showed up...

I don't mind some of the old cast returning as long as they're none of the following: April May, Sal Manella, Wendy Oldbag, Ben & Trilo, Regina Berry, Jean Armstrong and Iris Hawthorne (at least, in a non-victim role).

Of course I do want to see some new characters, but a couple of familiar faces wouldn't hurt the series, as far as I'm concerned..

I would actually like to see a prequel to some sort, between Trials and Tribulations and Apollo Justice. You can mix all the characters together, and give some more backstory as to WHY EVERYONE IS GONE. You could give Phoenix the first case and show his downfall, give the other 3-4 cases to Apollo, have the prosecutors be a mix of Edgeworth and Kristoph, and everyone would be happy. Also throw in random cameos in both games for good measures. Because I want to know what happened to:

:phoenix: This Ace Attorney
:edgeworth: This Ace Prosecutor
:maya: This Medium
:pearl: This Medium
:franny: This Prodigy
:maggy: Ok maybe her, it'd be tough to fit her in though.
Spoiler:
And most definitley :godot:


Now that is what I would like Gyakuten 5 to be. Sure it probably wont happen, but It would give me more of a reason to buy and play through Apollo Justice at the price of $30, that's for sure. Because I am not going to spoil the game for myself on the internet.

I wouldn't. I want Nick and his arc to be left alone, TBH. But please, I hope this doesn't turn into another one of those threads.

Plus if you did that prequel idea it's just another way to push Apollo out of it....he started his first case in GS4 didn't he? He'd just be watching Klavier Gavin work as a legal aide. Is it really that hard to understand why everyone is gone? It's hinted that Edgey is over in Europe somewhere and Godot is probably in his prison, Maya maintains contact with Nick and send him DVD's and as for Franziska....is it that unlikely that Fransiska is still doing law but ISN'T guaranteed a trial against the new Apollo Justice...why would she need to appear in his game she's got no grudge against him and had dumped her grudge with Nick by GS3, there's plenty other trials and law disputes going on I'm sure she's probably kicking some rookie defense attorny's ass somewhere.

Preferably not. They've got their own lives to live, after all. Capcom can't bring them back just to please some whiny fanboys. Two or three references wouldn't hurt, though.

And the only characters from the PW era I would like to see return in GK are Maggey and Lana.

The only one I really want to know what happened to was Maya. I mean, she isn't even mentioned in GS4, even after her entire history of attending nearly every one of Nick's trials. She stood by his side, through thick and thin, and especially considering what she went through in 2-4 and 3-5! How is she randomly not even there, or mentioned at least, when Nick loses his badge?

Most of the other characters are easily explained.

Mia's dead, and would be 'with' Maya or Pearl, anyway.
Edgeworth is off doing his prosecuting thing elsewhere.
Gumshoe is also off doing his own detective thing elsewhere. Maybe he got transfered, picked up a new position, etc.
Larry is known for not seeking Phoenix out, doing his random jobs all over.
Franziska is back in Germany, doing her thing.
Pearl is studying to become a Medium, or perhaps hanging with Maya.

And that pretty much covers all the characters that actually require an explanation.

Note: Maya is mentioned...at least it SHOULD be her.

When Nick is in Hospital he's surrounded by DVD's of Steel Samurai/Pink Princess and a bazillion other 'Samurai's' and when you examine them he says a friend keeps sending him then cause what else do you have to do when your in hospital.

Maya would have taken over the title of Master of Kurain since Misty snuffed it.

I've heard that it has been confirmed that it's her in an interview or something.

Eldoon mentions her once, too.

Well that's good.

Though I still find it hard to believe she's not around Nick anymore, even if she's the Kurain master. They were good friends for a couple years, along with the events they both went through.

Maybe she'll show up in GS5? <_<

A bit of a stretch especially what with the whole scientific angle the series seems to be taking...not that I wouldn't mind seeing GS5 Maya crushing Ema brutally and severely.

You could have a game which was before and after game 4. The chars could start on something between 3-5 and 4-1 and Apollo could wrap it up years later.

..just a possibility.

Maya and Edgeworth. Their absence is inexplicable and a plot hole. Everyone else can be relatively easily explained.

I mean, they could have reffed Maya so easily in the flashback '[Phoenix to Zak:Pity my assistant couldn't get back here on such short notice...'] or something.

I think 4-1 is the worst. Maya would be there to support Phoenix. He's on trial for murder, for heaven's sake. Even if they hadn't spoken in years she'd support him, he only saved her from 3 murder charges? And if she's sending the DVDs, they're obviously in close communication. Maybe they'll do a Larry and in GS5 try and claim she was spiritual training in Siberia for the last 5 years or something weird.

Does it have to be THAT desperate for Maya to get back in it? It's Apollo's story not Nick's maybe she believed the press about Nick losing his badge and lost some respect for him she's not that vital and it ain't no plothole in my opinion :yuusaku:

Maya? No. He believed in her the three times she was accused of murder, remember? I can only assume you've forgotten how close the two were during the games. She'd never believe Phoenix did it 2 months after 3-5. And if it was 'Apollo's' story then why did everything revolve around Phoenix? (Oh no. Not one of 'those threads' again.)

Besides, Maya would know all about the cruelty and lies of the press, even if she didn't believe in Phoenix to start with. Remember how the media destroyed Misty Fey with lies and ostracism? She's going to take a cynical view of what they say about Phoenix.

It's not a matter of 'Maya getting back into it.' It's a serious unexplained plothole which could have been fixed with even a tiny reference.

It's not a plothole, it doesn't contradict anything! Sure she SHOULD have been there but maybe she grew up? Acknowledged her title and lead the Kurain family. She had left him in the few months between the end of T+T (when she became the master of Kurain channeling tradition) and him losing his badge, clearly she has responsibilities that come before Nick nowadays.

She had left him in the few months between the end of T+T (when she became the master of Kurain channeling tradition) and him losing his badge, clearly she has responsibilities that come before Nick nowadays.


A plothole doesn't require a contradiction. And anyway it is contradictory to her characterisation in 3-5. And in 3-5 credits she states how she will be both Kurain Master and manager at Wright and Co and continue to look after 'Nick and Pearly'. And Phoenix being on trial for murder is a pretty serious thing, not just a random social visit. The writers give no explanations, so we have to assume Maya is adhering to her intentions in 3-5 credits (minus manager at Wright and Co, I suppose), so it is a contradictory plothole.

Maybe she was managing Wright and Co until it went under as a law firm at which point Nick became effectively unemployed I see no reason why she wouldn't leave to focus on her Kurain career without staying with Nick 100% of the time. She's all growed up now! :phoenix:

But in that situation she'd still come back to support him if he's on trial for murder. And her absence in the flashback is never explained either, even though a tiny indirect reference would have worked.
