(Anonymous) 2013-03-19 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)Apollo was the main character from beginning to end. Phoenix plays an important role, but you could argue that Edgeworth plays just as an important role in the first game. After all, Case 4 in the original game is all about him and hardly at all about Phoenix.
Apollo really worked for me because he was a sly commentary on all the tropes and cliches of the series. Shouting in court, his spiky hair (which he has to meticulously gel instead of having "natural" spiky hair like Phoenix), his complaints about the parade of misfits that he has to interview/defend ("Why can't I just have a normal case for once?") and the bizarre hoops he has to jump through (the most blatant being when he has to figure out a magic trick because none of the magicians will tell him) and so forth.
And every case is connected to Apollo or his backstory in a way that some cases in the Phoenix Trilogy never were. Case 3 in AA, for example, which is a fun little story but completely irrelevant to the overarching plot. In comparison, Case 3 in Apollo Justice introduces Lamiroir (and if you've played the game, you know how important she is not just to the story but to Apollo directly.)
Yeah, Phoenix plays a huge role in the plot of AJAA. But it's Apollo's story from beginning to end. It's Apollo's trial (no pun intended) to overcome.
