It did well in Japan, and the producer wants to do more, so I wouldn't worry about new entries.
What we need to worry about is getting them outside of Japan. Hopefully their shortsighted digital only strategy won't prevent them from being satisfied with the reception. (But Capcom is famous for their outrageous sales expectations.)
I was hoping to come up with a question while I was objecting, Your Honor..........
....I didn't.
Loved the game! One of the best in the series.
Although the one thing that never settled with me until the end was the voice acting. It's like seeing a movie based on a book you read a thousand times. I always had this idea what their voices would sound like (Phoenix in particular) and it didn't match.
(Not really a spoiler, more a VA thing)

In the beginning and during the cutscenes I kept hearing Akihiko from P3, when Phoenix spoke.
Yeah, reached this on the train, nearly burst out laughing.
Well Wright actually doesn't share the same VA as Akihiko from P3. I don't even feel they sound too much alike.
This game. THIS GAME.
It's amazing how it manages to tie everything up in the end, and the final boss manages to turn something what most veterans would have taken for granted and turn it on its head. The graphics and 3D is very well done, and I have to give credit to the artists and animators on how they manage to keep the charm of the game, yet bring a lot more new designs that works so well with the new engine. And the soundtrack. Iwadare really knocked it out of the park with this one. I can't remember a song I disliked.
The story is, however, undeniably something from the AAI team. It's not that it's bad (in fact, so much better than AAI1), but all the over complex executions and concepts like
is more... complex as compared to what Shu Takumi would have written. Sometimes it just takes me out of the game, wondering why the hell the killer has to do so much crazy shit when he could have done something simpler. But in the end, figuring it out is very satisfying.
I think this game is just below 3 as the top Ace Attorney game.

Yeah, AA2 was a lot worse on this front. Especially when you consider that almost every sentence in that game ended with "!!!".
I got a penalty for showing the picture when the defendant claimed to be helping the victim, even though the picture makes it clear that the defendant was the one being carried (the suits of the Astronauts had some key differences between them). Frustating when the game punish you for caughting a contradiction before it expects you to.

Welp, I finished the Phoenix Trilogy......sorta
I still have to do the extra case for the first game. Should I get to that first or is it not important enough and I can just go to Apollo Justice already?

Do the extra case, as a character in that is in Apollo Justice.
The extra case is very good. Definitly do it before Apollo Justice (also, yeah, a character from that case appears in AJ).

Yes, not only is there a new character who returns in later games, but it's one of the best cases in the series - personally speaking it's the best case in the series.
Finished it today and I'm so glad that I decided to buy it instead of waiting for the physical release. The art was amazing and the writing was great too.
I do have to say that the lack of exploration definitely holds this game back, some of the best jokes were from clicking on random stuff. I'm also surprised that they cut back on the 3D evidence.
That said, I really can't wait for the DLC, and hopefully more from this series.

You should do it after you finished all the case, though it will make your impression on JFA even a bitter one after that.
I'm now in the same position. Where are you in the game now?
Nevermind. Seen your post above.
Oh man I can't wait to unveil all the spoiler bars on Case 4. Just finished investigations part 1, seems interesting.
Poor polly.
/edit was there a 'reach out to the truth' reference in Case 3 day 3? And I swear there was a... what was it? Thena and Phoenix were referencing something pretty blatantly while exploring the Lounge in Case 4, but I can't remember what

love all the themes. Athena's non objection theme is one of my favs of the game.
anyone else find it odd that Simon has a feather in his mouth and have the eagle there too?
That's like... having your dog around... and dog hair in your mouth.
Kinda wish the original games were redone in this engine... but i want new games too lol.

yo Taka is a hawk.
I think.
oh man is there a difference between a hawk and an eagle?
Then again I think being hot as fuck gives you a license to be abusive <3

meh at least she ain't hurting Ponco.

Haha I love Aura! So cute when she leans on top of Clonco and Clonco's like >_<
Finished the third case this morning. Sweet jebus that was so cool. Entire case spoiler
And oh, I love all the animations in the game, but I think Haka (the hawk) sitting on top of the surprised judge's head is particulary funny.
One thing I didn't get about Case 4 during the first trial day;
Case 4, Investigation day 1 here we come!
Robin a gal, Hugh being a 25 year old dude (Blackquil laughing about this one was pretty funny) and holy shit at that Professor Means change. I always expected him to be the murderer, but the mohawk and the blackboard was awesome.

Why did Apollo wear bandages during this trial? He got hurt after the trial, not before it right?

Well, AAI2 was already a great game, so overall they really learned from AAI1.

These AAI impressions have me concerned D:
I was glad I at least had the AAI games
left to play once I was done with AA5, so it's disappointing to hear that it doesn't have too great a reception.
I'll still play it though. I enjoyed AJ (more than JFA at least) so we'll see.

Taka is definitely a hawk, I know this because I watch Hajime no Ippo.

I thought I had Case 2 all figured out, and was getting a little bummed out that it was so painfully obvious. But then
, and the case went in directions I hadn't suspected. The ending sequence was just one thing after another. So great. If this is the weakest case, I can't wait to see the rest!
Filch was revealed to be Tenma Taro
I'd rank the cases like:
Case 3 > Case 5 > Case 1 > Case 4 > Case 2
(Oddly enough, that's close to how I'd rank the games in the main series)
They're all excellent, though.
Edit: Also, where the .gifs at? I guess it'd be harder to make some for this game compared to the previous AA games because of the lack of sprites.
