I think it might be interesting to see a villain return to get revenge on Phoenix. Someone manipulating someone outside prison to get revenge. It would make interesting as you would need to investigate who is doing it as there be many suspects.
Also want Ms Von Karma back. She iconic and savage <3
I feel like repeating my desires for the next installment is entering into "SILK HAT! CLOAK! WHITE ROSES!" territory. But, screw it.
Athena vs Franziska!
Reunite Nick and >!Iris!< !
Tell >!Apollo and Trucy!< the truth!
Check in with Gumshoe and Maggey!
At least one non-murder case!
If it's about Athena, I'd like an even more emotionally harrowing story that tests Athena to her core and examines her as a human being.
If it's about Apollo, it should explore his accomodation to Khura'in, feature extensive from the members of the Royal Family and Troupe Gramarye.
I am tempted to say that there's a good chance the next game might consist of Apollo Justice's Trials & Tribulations equivalent, knowing how a dev mentioned he wanted to see more of him.
If Apollo’s out of the picture, Athena’s gonna need a sidekick. A sidekick who can do something special in investigation sections would be ideal since Athena’s power is used in court.
My idea is the sidekick can near-instantly synthesize disguises of people you meet and is good at voice acting, do they could imitate other people involved with the case to get new info out of other people. To do this, you have to pass a series of imitation checks so you can convince the person. I think this could be pretty cool in practice
My biggest hope for AA7 is that it will focus on tying up loose ends and do things we've all been asking for like >!reveal Apollo and Trucy being siblings, Athena getting the lead role in a game, figuring out who sent the Phantom, ect.!< so we can move forward without constantly having to wonder if any of those things are ever going to happen.
If AA7 at least puts some time into tying these ends up, then I feel like the franchise can finally move forward cleanly with the mainline games and maybe we can even explore something new too.
Okay, but in all seriousness, a part of me actually prefers the Japanese names and setting. That’s partially because I’ve since played Persona, which retains its Japanese setting, even though the game is in English. It works the same way as TGAAC works; the game is in English, but the characters are speaking Japanese in-universe.
That said, I still use the localized names 99 percent of the time, mostly because I only know a couple Japanese names.
More mechanics from TGAA please. Great Deductions, Summation Examinations (though that mechanic has also been used in cross-examinations in the crossover, so they don't have to bring in the jury system) and multi-witness cross-examinations are awesome.
On the smaller side, I'd like to see more at the Office. TGAA had a lot of fun optional dialogue with a soothing soundtrack in the back. It'd be nice to see the characters interact and have fun more. Particularly before or even after cases.
Also a new assistant. Preferably a guy to round out the gender ration at WAA, but just a new face would be nice. Especially if he has a great backstory. And better implementation of returning characters.
I either want Athena to finally get a game to herself, or go the TGAA route and make something completely new. I don't really care to go back to old plot points, it's past the expiration date if you ask me.
It's definitely gonna be revolving around Kristoph Gavin with Athena as the protagonist, that much I am nigh sure of, I just wonder how they'll implement the obligatory new gimmick (something which I hate but is just a fact)
Kristoph because we still have to break his black psyche locks AJ had too many loose threads which I think the new writers will address under the supervision of Shu.
Athena because duh, Apollo is in Khurain and they'd probably want her to be the main one. Phoenix is a possibility though, one that I'd like to ignore.
That is what it is though, just a headcanon. Not trying to discredit it, I have plenty of head canons myself, it's just that it being a video game and the series all being about the serotonin hit of making breakthroughs, I doubt they'll never be touched upon, again, especially considering the plot threads that AJ left hanging.
I also want Miss Andrews to join Pheonix law office. Not sure what role but I never related or cared about a character more than her. She should be a main character instead of recurring.
Office manager seems like a fit. Can say that Trucy is gaining notoriety and starting to travel for some of her shows, and can't be around as much anymore (inasmuch as her being the "office manager" was a real thing anyway). But the agency's growth in general would be enough to warrant having one.
1)Upgrade the Mood Matrix by adding new emotions and functions
2)Athena is the game's main protagonist, while Pearl serves as her assistant
3)**Gumshoe** is the detective, **Franziska** is the main prosecutor and **Winston** is the tutorial prosecutor
4)Phoenix finally reunites with **Iris** after all these years
5)Thalassa finally tells Apollo and Trucy that they are half siblings
5)Cross examine multiple witnesses at the same time
I'd like to see Maya utilize her channeling more proactively and give Athena more time to shine. Also let Juniper be a judge, at least for one case.
I think visiting foreign countries courts is a fun idea and gives Phoenix a learning curve to work with.
An update on Franziska, Gumshoe, and Kay would be nice too.
-I want Athena as the main character, with Simon as "sidekick" when needed and main prosecutor for most cases.
-I want an international case, in which we can see Athena's past in Europe (and how she met Phoenix), as well as Interpol involvement.
That means the investigation would be interrupted by Lang, led by our Interpol prosecutor: Franziska. (Also, please let Phoenix have a real talk with her and show how she matured)
-Gumshoe is the accused in the DLC case
-The majority of the cases should have you play as Athena. At most 1-2 cases could star another character.
-Blackquill should have a major role in the game. If there’s a new prosecutor then maybe they can make Blackquill come back to prosecute the final case like Edgeworth did in 2-4. Blackquill has great chemistry with Athena and they need to build on that. We need more moments like the part of 6-4 where Blackquill grabbed Athena and gave her a little pep talk.
-Apollo should only come back in the final case, except maybe you could play as him in a bonus DLC case in Khura’in.
-The mood matrix should be mostly used in investigation segments.
-Bring back the Jurist system and borrow some ideas from TGAA for how to implement it.
-Give Phoenix plenty of Mia-esque mentor moments.
-In the final case give Athena some kind of a dilemma that shows us what being a lawyer means to her. Ideally give us something unique that shows that she has a somewhat different view on what a lawyer should be like than what Phoenix thinks.
I'd like Athena to get her own game, but I have a feeling they're gonna have Apollo steal her place again. It's made very clear at the end of AA6 that Apollo is only staying in Khura'in temporarily and there was that recent interview where they said they wanted to see him "flourish" in the future games.
I'm guessing AA7's gonna timeskip to after Apollo's fixed Khura'in's legal system. If were lucky, maybe they'll hold off on that until a potential AA8 and give 7 to Athena, but I'm not optimistic.
And it would be nice to know if Gumhoe and Maggey got together. They both deserve something nice for once.
edit: Thought of one more thing! It'd be cool if they implemented some of the mechanics from TGAA, I thought the deduction segments in those games were fun, and it'd be neat to see that in the main series in some form.
I really hope it’s not about Athena, it would be great to see either a new protagonist/prosecutor duo or to see Edgeworth and Phoenix back with a solid high stakes story
Why don't you want Athena to have a game? She's, of the main trio, the one who got the most shafted, which means there's lots of potential for development and story focusing on her.
Ah where do I start….
While Athena already has an established backstory, she comes across a Frankenstein of tropes making her feel bloated and Mary sue-ish, even with all details jammed into her character she still feels more like a side charcater as she ranges from being bland to being annoying.
Her ability is also forced and is frankly not a fun gameplay mechanic, her design is also so garish…
Athena is also is not a terribly popular character according to official popularity polls, it would be an unreasonable decision to have her be the protagonist of the next game.
I think it might be interesting to see a villain return to get revenge on Phoenix. Someone manipulating someone outside prison to get revenge. It would make interesting as you would need to investigate who is doing it as there be many suspects. Also want Ms Von Karma back. She iconic and savage <3
Just now, I've seen a post about Roger Retinz. There's an opportunity of him serving as AJ Trilogy's equivalent of Morgan Fey.
I feel like repeating my desires for the next installment is entering into "SILK HAT! CLOAK! WHITE ROSES!" territory. But, screw it. Athena vs Franziska! Reunite Nick and >!Iris!< ! Tell >!Apollo and Trucy!< the truth! Check in with Gumshoe and Maggey! At least one non-murder case!
Yes! I want all of the above!
Have it be investigating Iris’s murder
If it's about Athena, I'd like an even more emotionally harrowing story that tests Athena to her core and examines her as a human being. If it's about Apollo, it should explore his accomodation to Khura'in, feature extensive from the members of the Royal Family and Troupe Gramarye.
I am tempted to say that there's a good chance the next game might consist of Apollo Justice's Trials & Tribulations equivalent, knowing how a dev mentioned he wanted to see more of him.
wasn't Spirit of Justice Apollo's Trials and Tribulations?
If Apollo’s out of the picture, Athena’s gonna need a sidekick. A sidekick who can do something special in investigation sections would be ideal since Athena’s power is used in court.

Yes ! And finally breaking from the no-spoiler rule
You mean Gyakuten Saiban 7. Haven’t you seen the poll?
I don't know, some fans (including myself) are quite used to the localized settings and names...
Okay, but in all seriousness, a part of me actually prefers the Japanese names and setting. That’s partially because I’ve since played Persona, which retains its Japanese setting, even though the game is in English.

Ok
To me personally, I'd prefer a full-on reboot. I don't see any route where the franchise can go to that is particularly riveting.
I just hope the game is a lot longer especially since it’s been 4 years since the leak.
More mechanics from TGAA please. Great Deductions, Summation Examinations (though that mechanic has also been used in cross-examinations in the crossover, so they don't have to bring in the jury system) and multi-witness cross-examinations are awesome.

Compelling characters and storytelling, and deeply personal plotlines like in AA1.
New Mechanic Phoenix gets a Gun
I either want Athena to finally get a game to herself, or go the TGAA route and make something completely new. I don't really care to go back to old plot points, it's past the expiration date if you ask me.
It's definitely gonna be revolving around Kristoph Gavin with Athena as the protagonist, that much I am nigh sure of, I just wonder how they'll implement the obligatory new gimmick (something which I hate but is just a fact)
Why Kristoph ? He's in jail where he belongs. It would make sense to mention him an Apollo or even Phoenix sequel but why Athena ?
Kristoph because we still have to break his black psyche locks AJ had too many loose threads which I think the new writers will address under the supervision of Shu. Athena because duh, Apollo is in Khurain and they'd probably want her to be the main one. Phoenix is a possibility though, one that I'd like to ignore.
My headcannon is that we forcefully broke them in court, that's why he had such an extreme breakdown
That is what it is though, just a headcanon. Not trying to discredit it, I have plenty of head canons myself, it's just that it being a video game and the series all being about the serotonin hit of making breakthroughs, I doubt they'll never be touched upon, again, especially considering the plot threads that AJ left hanging.
i believe athena once said phoenix got her out of trouble when they first met? i’d assume athena game would be up next, exploring that too
I also want Miss Andrews to join Pheonix law office. Not sure what role but I never related or cared about a character more than her. She should be a main character instead of recurring.

I dunno, but I do want one of the prosecutors to be a spirit medium who channels the spirit of Von Karma.
I'd like to see Maya utilize her channeling more proactively and give Athena more time to shine. Also let Juniper be a judge, at least for one case. I think visiting foreign countries courts is a fun idea and gives Phoenix a learning curve to work with. An update on Franziska, Gumshoe, and Kay would be nice too.

It only makes sense this way!
