I mean, why didn't the creators just put Apollo Justice 3 or 4 years after PW3. Why seven years?
Isn't seven years way too much time for Phoenix completing his investigation, secret mission and so on?
Nothing, I mean, NOTHING else in the Ace Attorney world take this long.
It's sad... Phoenix deserved better after the PW trilogy.

I mean, You couldn't have beaten it very well if you dont know why Phoenix had to wait seven years.

And Balrog: it isn't. It might as well be 4 years and they change the script to that.

The number "7" really isn't that important.
What stopped them from setting the game closer to PW3, let's say, 4 years?
Yeah, Ema and Trucy only, I guess...
But Mia Fey, I like your "how screwed up the system was" explanation.

They needed enough for it to seem believable (to a degree) that all the events had taken place. Also events that aren't in the game like Ema getting out of school and becoming a detective. Also Phoenix personality change, which also wouldn't happen in a couple days.

Yep, I think Pearls has got it. X3 It is 7 years for someone to be pronounced legally dead.

Personally, I'm glad they went that far, because it means that any returning characters have a chance to have a lot of growth. The first three games take place over 3 years, and Phoenix doesn't look any different from start to finish. So if they said AJ was only 3 years later, it might be weird to see him so drastically different.
(Of course, that's what they did with 3-1: I really didn't like that within only 3 years Phoenix went from a spastic cry baby to the laid back Phoenix we see in PW:AA)
But more than 5 years and suddenly it feels like a long time. You can really see in the game how time has changed Phoenix and Ema, and if more characters show up, it'll be really interesting to see how much they've changed as well.
Plus what everyone else said B:

Would have legally gotten the rights...but nobody knew who she was except (perhaps) Zac, who wanted the rights to go to Trucy anyways. I think Zac knew who Lamiroir was, but was too embaressed about shooting her to say it in public. He hinted too strongly in the conversation at the restaurant. But the point is that 4-1 was Phoenix's opportunity to get Krissi in jail, and Zac thinking that he needed a will made that possible.

Anyway, I liked the fact tat AJ took place so long after T&T, It gave the characters a chance to develop well.

I think thats down to transatlantic differences in the use of the word spastic, grim_tales, it has a different meaning over here than in America hence games have had to be edited and Tiger Woods had to apologise. see here for more information on why if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spastic
and back on topic I agree 7 years was probably picked as it allowed returning characters and the legal system to change over time and to reverse the original question why not 7 years? Theres no reason that there shouldn't be an 7 year gap when you consider the influence
Sig made by the talented Trabztress, thank you!

Wow. I had no idea the word had such a negative meaning outside the U.S. That's really interesting.

I just heard the NBC bells and the phrase "The More You Know" flash in my mind.
