I notice how google as a corporation is really pushing AI onto everything, and i've been noticing more and more people complain that the youtube recommendations have been sucking for them. I think this might be on purpose
I've been thinking a lot about how people say it's one of the worst cases in the trilogy in part because of Phoenix's forced amnesia so that got me thinking. What if instead of amnesia, Wellington knocked out Phoenix completely for the case and you had to play as Maya. She doesn't know as much about being a defense attorney as Phoenix so that'd be a completely natural way for the game to introduce mechanics to unfamiliar players, and on top of that I think she'd be a fun protagonist, having to fool the court into thinking she's a legitimate defense attorney with the badge and bluffing until she's able to make it. Maybe if you really wanted to, Phoenix could wake up in the second half of the case and he gets back into the swing of things. I don't think it'd be like the greatest start to the overarching Phoenix character arc in the game but I personally don't think the case as is is either.
