Oh man, the game revived the P/E shipper in me, big time. I honestly just consider it canon at this point.

The only thing that disappointed me about DD was that during the entire phantom reveal, my brain was screaming "Kristoph...KrisTOPH...KRISTOPH"

And then nothing.

I didn't really like Kristoph so I can't say I hoped it would turn out to be him, but didn't we get a nice subtle reference to him when Phoenix sees Athena's black Psyche-locks?
(I kinda wish Kristoph's locks were explained at some point. It was the only thing about him I really found interesting, and they were just forgotten about.)

Right? I was trying to figure that out, but only ended up with more questions. What is it about Kristoph's crimes that's locked in his subconscious? The only idea I've got is that he hasn't admitted to himself that maybe his inability to get over being fired by Zak Gramarye had more to do with him than it did to do with Zak or Phoenix. I don't find that explanation completely satisfactory, though.

Yeah, same. Feels more like it was a convenient plot device to keep Phoenix from learning too much too soon, with a half-assed explanation on WHY those locks would be unbreakable. It's great that we got a better explanation about black Psyche-locks in DD, but... I still can't really figure out how that would apply to Kristoph.

Wasn't it weird that Kristoph really didn't come up at all in the whole game? It was like they were retconning AJ away entirely, even though Apollo and Trucy and Klavier were right there.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure the writers and/or translators are putting in Phoenix/Edgeworth stuff on purpose now. Maybe it's queerbaiting, but I don't even care. I mean, "(This immense tension between us... It's like we're picking up right where we left off.)"? "Don't lecture ME on matters of the heart, Edgeworth!"? The argument over who has the better eye for aesthetics??? Having them make out onscreen could hardly be less subtle.

To be fair, they left out a great deal of things that were supposedly important in AJ. The whole thing about Apollo and Trucy being siblings, for example (WHERE the hell is their mother, and WHEN the hell does she exactly plan on telling them the truth? Won't Phoenix say anything?), and then the whole thing about the Jurist System were just forgotten about.
It was especially jarring in the latter case: the Jurist System was supposed to be a Big Deal, the ultimate goal of AJ, and then... poof. Nothing. Nada. Gone. Jurist System? Never heard of it.

That was kinda weird. An explanation wouldn't have hurt.

Well, a 6th game has been commissioned, so maybe they'll tie up the loose ends there. Especially since the lack of resolution seems to be the ultimate and only complaint about DD.

This is true. Maybe Kristoph will make an appearance? Maybe he'll have something to do with the Phantom after all?

I'd pay money to get more of the Phantom. And yeah, I guess it may be a good chance to clear up things with Kristoph, too.

Seriously, I kept wondering when someone was going to mention that Apollo and Trucy were siblings. There's this short fic on AO3, I think written for the kink meme, where Apollo and Trucy are in love, and when they tell Phoenix, he FLIPS OUT. Phoenix could avoid this scenario pretty easily, but will he? Who can say?

I don't even know what to think about the jurist system. It doesn't really fit with the world of Ace Attorney, so I didn't mind not having to deal with it, but at the same time, what the heck, that was quite the retcon.

IF the matter is ever addressed to in canon, I expect both Trucy and Apollo to be furious at him for not telling them. I know I would be. :P

I was very much okay with no having it (as you said, it didn't really fit) but man, wasn't it jarring when I realized it just vanished with no explanation after being built up as the Big Thing Phoenix worked on for seven years.

I was always under the impression that the last trial in AJ was like beta testing, and that the Jurist System wouldn't be widely used for at least a few more years?

Hey, that would be a good explanation! It's a shame they didn't even use it, though. It would have taken care of some inconsistency problems.
