From this:  

I liked Apollo Justice, I really did. With that said, I did not like what they did with Mr. Wright. To me, he felt like a completely different character. I have to keep reminding myself : "That dude dressed like a hobo, is Phoenix Wright. That lovable dork from the other games." And it never clicked for me. They should just have named him something else. He's an interesting character but he doesn't "feel" like Phoenix Wright to me. I know the quite a few years passed since Phoenix's days as a lawyer and that people change with time but this is a bit much.

No, because I haven't played any of the games to develop an opinion on any of them.

So, "other"?

Motherfucker.

I was completely fine with it.

I do however think he was the focus of too much of the story and ended up overshadowing Apollo and Trucy because of it.

Not really, no. I haven't played Apollo Justice since it came out (because I didn't like it for a multitude of reasons that include Hobo Phoenix), but I'm pretty sure he's kind of a bastard. If I recall correctly, he forges evidence in the first case as a way to get revenge against Kristoff and then basically spends the rest of the game being cryptic and generally unhelpful. It isn't until the last case of the game, which is mostly a flashback anyways, that he becomes likeable again.

In the context of the game it makes total sense?

This poll is misleading. They didn't just change him.

The idea is that you don't know who the guy is, until it's revealed to be phoenix. All you did was ruin an early game twist and make a misleading poll, I HATE YOU

I think when I first played the game, I was shocked at what they did with Phoenix. With how he was going in the previous trilogy, I was expecting him to be a kind of "nice guy Manfred von Karma" in the future, with a reputable law firm where everyone wanted to go to to be defended. However, now I've come to appreciate his new character. I like the "downfall" concept they took with him while still portraying him as someone who is much wiser than he looks (especially with how he handled the last case). 

I loked the dude version of phoenix

So why the fuck are you posting?

@TheKramer89:

He had a question; I had an answer.

I didn't mind all that much, makes sense in the context of the story , though the Apollo justice game is very weak if compared to the original trilogy, still a nice game none the less.

So your opinion is "No" even though you don't have an opinion? You don't have to post in every goddamn thread, is what I'm getting at.

i could not say it any better myself. In other words "this".

@TheKramer89:

You seem to think that my not liking something automatically means I dislike it. The two are not the same at all.

yeah, we can tell.

He wasn't bad exactly but it didn't really even feel like Phoenix Wright. They should have just made him a separate character than trying to tie it into the last trilogy.

I count Apollo Justice as the low point of the series for me personally. That's not saying it's a bad game, I just felt like the game wasn't as interesting to me than the previous three installments, and Investigations was better. That said, I'm kind of inbetween of what they did with Phoenix's character, but I'll have to go with no, I don't like what they did. Phoenix was always a somewhat insecure person in the first three games, but confident and outgoing when he needed to be. In Apollo Justice, I felt like they played up the "mysterious and scarred" aspect a little too much.

They ruined him! And I hate that.
