Kristoph’s actions genuinely disgusted me as I saw the impacts it had on so many people, both in the past and in the present. While the first few seconds pretty much tell us that Kristoph is responsible for everything, I was not expecting it to go as deep as it did. The story jumps back and forth between the recent past and seven years ago, about the time when Phoenix was disbarred. So what’s so good about it that makes it so much better than two of the cases before it? Mainly, the complexity of the story. While not to the same extent of Turnabout Trump, this case is pretty good. By this point, the writers were all sane again, so the quality skyrocketed back up. Speaking of the final case, we get Turnabout Succession. Not the worst thing ever, but a major disappointment after the first case. Honestly, this case in really just not fun. Granted, they all tie into the case in some way, but it’s quite tedious. There’s also the fact that you need to go on a bunch of fetch quests before the plot really gets going. She just doesn’t stand out in any special way. Alita Taila isn’t the worst villain in the game, but she feels rather generic. Not even your defendant, Wocky Kitaki, is likable, because he’s a brat and an asshole. This case in particular has awful side characters. We also get Trucy’s abduction, which was quite a shock. We also got introduced to Apollo’s Perceive ability, which I’ll talk about more later. This case introduces Ema and Klavier, and we start fleshing our Trucy’s character, since she only got a few seconds of screen time in Turnabout Trump. Before I start complaining, let’s talk about the good stuff. Well, after such a great start, I guess the writers all smoked weed in between writing the first two cases, because there’s a major dip in quality here. Thankfully, the main characters have much more screen time to overshadow the side characters, but the issue still stands. All of the others are either unlikable, forgettable, or just plain unpleasant. The only side characters I remember liking are Vera Misham, Thalassa Gramareye, and to an extent, Shadi Smith. Like, even worse than Justice For All’s roster. On the other hand, most of the side characters are awful. Same goes for Ema Skye, who I was very happy to see again. I feel that it shows that Phoenix isn’t a flawless person, and he’s a bit jaded after seven years. Phoenix returns as a hobo, and though some people don’t like this version of him because they believe that he’s “not in character”, but I like it. Apollo is wonderful, Trucy is precious, Klavier is awesome, and Kristoph is quite the awesome villain. By that, I mean the main characters are great. In terms of characters, Apollo Justice is very similar to the first game.
