Discussion Wasted potential
Yesterday I was thinking about how rushed AJ was. It's no secret, but I feel like the devs wanted to throw in Phoenix again as quickly as they could. As a result, the whole 'Kristoph being the big bad' plot isn't nearly as investing as it could be, as we know little to nothing about the guy. we don't know his relationship with apollo, other cases he's dealt with, how he became this legendary attorney. (I'm pretty sure he wasn't by cheating, despite many fan games in which he's involved depicting him as a chronic forger, whereas I believe he only forged in the gramarie case, as it was make or break.). Imo there should've been a prequel to AJAA, and it should've been about apollo's first trials with kristoph as a constant assistant and mentor. This way the start to AJAA would have much more shock value. Someone should do a fangame, but since turnabout trump is Apollo's first trial, it could be about Kristoph as the main lead, with apollo as co-defence. If done well it would really make AJAA better as well, kind of like The Clone Wars made the Prequels look better after they were released.
