Greatest Cases from the Original Phoenix Wright Trilogy

This case had a few minor problems in terms of its execution, but in terms of story and plot, it brings back the main characters of the trilogy and solves a lot of loose ends. Very rarely has the finale of a series done this so well.

Playing as Edgeworth was also really fun, especially since he went up against Franziska. I love Iris and hope she'll reappear in the future.

So I congratulate Bridge to the Turnabout. It did have quite a few minor faults, but what it did well, it did really well.

This case felt like it was made for the sole purpose of tying off any loose ends in the series and leaving the fans with a perfectly complete story.

I believe that they succeeded. Along with the amount of twists and turns in the case, you get interesting characters, the most intense trial of all time as you go against an enemy who is dead, and best of all, you get to play as Edgeworth as you go against Franziska Von Karma.

While the second game is probably the worst in the series, it is a fact that its final case was absolutely amazing.

Through the first half of the case, you find more and more evidence pointing towards your client. You realize that it was him who called the assassin, and when you confront him, you expect the classic Phoenix Wright plot involving the victim deserving it to console the fact that you are defending the guilty party.

And then it happens. Your client flips his hair and reveals just how much of a dirtbag he is. The twist, combined with the moral question of what is important to you, makes this my favorite case in the series.

While the case starts off quite generically, with the first day being a normal murder case, I didn't expect much. However, the twist about the multiple crime scenes and the fact that Gant is an amazing character really made up for it.

Gant is honestly the highlight of the entire first game.

While a lot of people say that this is the best case in the series, I must disagree. That said, the case is still nothing short of amazing. You get some development for Edgeworth, get to go up against the scariest character in the series, and even get to cross-examine a parrot.

The one small issue with this case is how quickly Von Karma crumbles once you put him on the spot.

Compared to the other games' second cases, this one is by far the best. It starts off quite well with the introduction to Luke Atmey, one of my favorite characters for both personality and his name.

My favorite part, however, was when you realized what was going on and how getting convicted for theft was just a way to get away with murder.

As well as being the second time you get to play as Mia, the ending to this case nearly brought me to tears. The case itself was a rollercoaster as well. Everything about this case was awesome.

I enjoyed the characters in this one except for Jean Armstrong, who I felt was quite annoying. The concept of a staged murder was also extremely clever.

My favorite part of the case was definitely the absurdity of the fact that Tigre impersonated Phoenix. As the case went on, it became stupider and stupider, with people believing that the reason the fake attorney badge was differently colored was because it got sunburned.

The fact that you got to meet the murder victim was interesting, as before this, that never happened. The twist about the faces was clever, but I don't like it as much because I predicted it almost immediately.

Also, the character of Ini Miney frustrates me a lot. I'm not usually keen on stupid characters, and this one is no exception.

A massive jump in complexity from the first two cases, Turnabout Samurai does a good job at setting up what future cases could be like. It's the first case to have a twist and the first case where you interact with the prosecutor as a person rather than an opponent.

The one thing I don't like about this case is Sal Manella is my least favorite character in the entire series.
