    The funniest thing about Apollo was, I hated his game - because of everyone apart from the man himself. Then, his name was disassociated from the two following games, but I really enjoyed his storyline in each.

    There are accusations that new backstory for him was forcibly shoved into Spirit of Justice, but I disagree; when you’re playing a game in isolation, I think it just doesn’t work well to have too many lingering plot points to be resolved in future - it made sense to only feature story beats that will reach some resolution.

      I liked Apollo Justice. Yeah, it was very disjointed and barely consistent at times, but it was still very fun to me.

      The weirdest part of it was discovering how absolutely crazy Phoenix looks to anyone not in his head. Someone described it as talking to the version of Phoenix who chose all the stupidest answers in previous games, and yeah, it’s kinda like that.

      Not really, it’s just kind of a weird name for the collection based on the fact that Apollo plays a relatively big role in the story of these three games.

        Definitely more so in the last one. Dual Destinies was mostly Phoenix and Athena, and yeah, a small bit of Apollo. and Apollo kinda got his limelight stolen in his own game anyway

        Funny how they called the collection “Apollo Justice : Ace Attorney” when two games in it literally put “Phoenix Wright” back in the title.

          I don’t mind it a huge bunch, I mean Phoenix Wright plays a huge part in Apollo’s own game, as far as I’m concerned they’re all just one giant series with naming issues. As a kid I never played Apollo cause I thought his character design was goofy (just nuanced kid opinions).

          All these years later when I finally played Apollo I realized it really was another Phoenix Wright game, I just cheated myself out of enjoying it because of that perception that it wasn’t the same thing
