Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

which part? his backstory or the fact that capcom got rid of apollo by leaving him behind khura'in as an excuse to focus on phoenix more

apparently the Khura'in thing is what ruffles people up most. i don't quite understand that. characters have 'left' before in the series, only to make overdramatic plotdevice returns in later games. he even SAID he'd come back. i doubt we've seen the last of Apollo and in the meantime he gets to run a law office of his own in a country that really needs one.

If anything it's a great opportunity for him. Khura'in has very few defense attorneys so he'll get lots of cases and get to do what he would rather do.

Honestly, I think it's far worse what was done to him most of the time in DD. He got the least amount of screentime and in the DLC case he was relegated to errand boy. The only good thing he got was some backstory and a connection to cases 4 and 5, but Athena and Simon very much overshadowed him and made it very easy to forget that hey, Apollo's best friend was the victim damn it.

I'd rather see Phoenix stay in Khura'in and give Apollo and Athena a chance to stand on their own because Phoenix really needs to step back and be a mentor to them both and let them actually get to shine and show their stuff.

normally, i'd be cool that they're leaving a character behind because, as you said, they do have a track record of coming back. however, my issue is that it feels like capcom needed an excuse to get apollo out of the picture (while relegating him to one-case appearances as fanservice) so they can milk the phoenix cashcow more.

if apollo staying behind in khura'in was an excuse to make him the main protagonist of the series without meddling from the phoenix trilogy cast, then that would be one thing. however, considering capcom's track record i doubt that.

obviously, apollo isn't gone forever. it's just i don't really like the feeling that capcom downgraded him from protagonist to cameo character in favor of keeping the focus on phoenix, who is already overdeveloped.

The backstory itself bothers me more since it comes out of the blue and feels completely disjointed from what the previous games have told about Apollo.

Him getting his own law office is one thing (though coming right after DD and its "We're all a team!" thing sure is something), but when it's in a completely another country that he suddenly has a super deep connection with it's just too much for me. It feels like it cuts him off from all his connections from the previous games.
