[Possible spoilers...?]

I had always assumed that Phoenix Wright took place
in Japan.
My friend argues that it takes place in the United States,
but if so, I'm wondering why there are channeling temples
and channeling training places in mountains and stuff like
that, and bento boxes, etc.

So I ended up convincing her that PW takes place in
Japan, but there's one little issue with that.

When playing case 5, I noticed that it was Febraury, and
snowing. That's the steriotypical weather in the U.S.

Wouldn't it be like, spring in Japan (in February)?


I'm going to feel like an idiot if the location of PW is
confirmed as the U.S. or something. =D;;

Yeah, it's America. They don't use dollars in Japan. And I'm certain it was confirmed it takes place in LA.
fuck

In the US version, it's set in the US.

In the Japan version, it's set in Japan.

Lulz that makes sense. :D

The Japan references are still a little weird though.
I need to pay more attention. -shot-

They could have easily changed the date when translating it to be more like the US anyway, so...

I argue that it takes place in Canada. Americans don't have "Dollar-coin" 's. lol.

Honestly though, yeah, it's in the United States. Redd White makes a comment about "Americans" in the second case of the first game, leading Phoenix to think "um, dude? You're an american too.".

I never remember it being explicitly mentioned as L.A. in the game, but that seems to be the common theory.

I think the creator said it takes place in LA in the American Version and Tokyo in the Japanese version. You could presume the Fey family moved to america some time in the past and have lived there since but kept Japanese customs.

The fucking creators said so. It doesn't have to make sense.

Mountainous regions of California do indeed have snow. This would explain Hazakura Temple.

Gourd Lake Park, though, you've got me there. It can get quite cold in CA, I wouldn't be surprised if there may have been a light dusting.

That's a good possibility. However, I wouldn't reference a movie that details highly fictional events to back it up. Really, though, global warming also involves a series of cooling periods. The reason we're experiencing global warming NOW isn't because of pollution. Rather, we're simply heading into the next ice age. Thankfully we should all be long gone before we have to worry about it.

BUT THIS IS BESIDE THE POINT.

I think that by 2016, a light snow in LA shouldn't be too impossible.

But what about Victor Kudo? He mention something about "Hailing from the land of the rising sun." which gives me the impression that they're in U.S. now. (can't remember the exact wording...)
