Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice is the newest installment in Capcom's popular Ace Attorney series, which follows the legal adventures of Phoenix Wright and his law agency. It's the 6th main game and the 10th game overall and comes out on the 8th of September. This installment finds Phoenix traveling to the Kingdom of Khura'in, an Asian country which has tailored its law system in such a way as to make defense attorneys nonexistent also they killed them all, instead trying cases due to the interpretation of the victim's last memories. Phoenix must find a way to bring true justice to this country and revolutionize their legal system from within. Meanwhile, back in Los Angeles, Phoenix's proteges Apollo and Athena are left to their own devices at the agency, encountering a person who seems to know about Apollo's past.

Characters:


Phoenix Wright

Phoenix is the head of the Wright Anything Agency, and has been a lawyer for like 5 of the last 11 years, so it's totally fine. Ignore that 7 year gap. It's fiiiine. He finds himself in Khura'in after a worrisome conversation with an old friend. Has a knack for turning bad situations around. Can use his Magatama to find out when people are lying.


Apollo Justice

THIS IS APOLLO JUSTICE AND HE'S FINE! The second lawyer to join the Anything Agency, he's taking care of things at home while Phoenix is away. A very intense boy who usually acts as the straight man to his co-workers. Can use his bracelet to perceive people's poker faces.


Athena Cykes

A young attorney and analytical psychologist, she joined the Agency last year. She's very peppy and perky and generally pleasant to be around. Can use her Mood Matrix to analyze a person's emotions during testimony.


Rayfa Padma Khura'in

The princess of Khura'in, she performs the Divination Seance, a ritual that allows one to see a departed spirit's final thoughts and sensations. She's also 14. What is it with this series and teenage girls?


Maya Fey

Phoenix's assistant for his early career, she's finally back! As the heir to the Kurain Spirit Channeling Technique, she's currently in Khura'in studying to become the Master of her school. These names may or may not be related.


Nahyuta Sahdmadhi

An international prosecutor, he tries cases in both Khura'in and America. A respected monk, he believes that convicting criminals in court will bring them salvation. He seems to remember Apollo, but how???


Ema Skye

Obsessed with forensics all her life, Phoenix helped Ema with a case in the first year of his career. Later, she would serve an unsatisfying stint as a homicide detective before being put into her dream job of a forensic scientist. She'll assist Apollo with investigations back home.

Divination Seance:



One of the key gameplay elements of SoJ, the Divination Seance allows the courtroom to see what the victim saw and felt at their final moments. It's up to Phoenix to use this information, along with the evidence, to challenge Rayfa's interpretation of what happened and to find the truth.


Spirit of Justice will be available September 8th for digital download only from the Nintendo eShop. There's costume DLC which will be free for the first year of release and a DLC case plus some mini episodes which have not been announced for localization yet.

Glad I was able to finish Dual Destinies (and finishing Justice for All and Trials & Tribulations earlier this year) so I could be fully prepared for this new one!

Ema is cool and I hope she's back to her AA1 self this time around

I heard the cops are going to pin the crime on her little sister? Bullshit, I say, but they've got Demon Attorney Miles Edgeworth prosecuting her so I guess case closed :shrug:

Yes, a few years back.

Helim needed to be invisible.
The Wright vs Layton game was released before Dual Destinies in Japan, but the opposite was true for the west. I'm holding out hope for the same being true for ~~Dai Gyakuten Saiban: Naruhodō Ryūnosuke no Bōken~~, but chances seem... pretty slim.

I'm really enjoying Jack Hammer's work in the latest Steel Samurai series. Deffo a top 3 Evil Magistrate performance.

The game should be available around noon on Thursday? Or something, that's usually when the eshop updates.

Or can you preorder this one?

Yes the eshop updates at 12 EST/9 PST aside from special big releases of which Ace Attorney is decidedly not. I'm not at my 3DS atm so I'll check if it can be preordered later but I doubt it. Someone would've mentioned it by now right??

Yeah and I could have sworn the last game could be pre-ordered too. Not a big deal, I have a chance to grab it before a long trip I start on the 13th.

Yeah. It's half of an alright Layton game mixed with half of an alright AA game which is just about (or slightly less than, depending on how you view the ending) the sum of its parts.

The actual cases were pretty good and it had some genuine character moments with Phoenix, that was nice.

The introductory video for this game contains the line "One of the remnant lawyers, then...." and a mountain full of lawyer tombstones where it is always windy. This game is going to own.

I really liked the Phoenix and Maya bits, but the Layton stuff was mostly boring IMO.

Thanks for rebooting the thread. I checked out of the last one until I had a chance to finish the AAI2 translation, so I otherwise would've completely missed the news of this game!
