Since itโs designed for the Switch 2 (and thus made for a larger screen), the game will almost always have 2-3 characters on screen at a time, and will feature dozens of unique interaction animations between all sorts of character combos.
There has been another 7 year timeskip.
The old judge retired, and the new judge is his granddaughter!
The jurist system is featured.
This concept is heavily based around these designs.
The characters would have multiple outfits throughout the game, which become unlockable costumes, much like the DLC costumes of DD, SoJ, and TGAA games.
While this is way too specific to truly be a "prediction" of what aa7 could be, I tried to keep it (mostly) realistic to what I thought could actually be in an ace attorney game!
๐ฆ Case 1: Turnabout Homecoming
Trucy left the nest and Phoenix doesnโt like living alone anymore, so Phoenix is moving into Edgeworthโs house. Apolloโ who recently got his driver's licenseโ was driving the moving van, and was accused because a body had been found in the vehicle. The true killer was one of the movers. I like the idea that you'd have to look through boxes for evidence, maybe the murder weapon was hidden within their belongings.
Defendant: Apollo
Defense: Phoenix
Weird Girl: Edgeworth
Prosecutor: Diana Payne (Winstonโs daughter)
Detective: (drumrollโฆ) Godot!!
Witnesses: Larry (he was helping with the move), Leslie (one of the movers)
Victim: Bee(another one of the movers)
Killer: Anne(third mover)

๐ข Case 2: Rollercoaster Turnabout
Maya and Pearl are on vacation at Blue Badger Land. Pearl is accused of murder after a body is found on an unpopular attraction that only Pearl enjoys going on.
As an aside, Gumshoe is retired from detective work, and now works as a dog trainer. He trained Armando's service dog, Spot O'Coffee.
Wendy Oldbag also serves as a witness, but she's pretty old at this point. Her memory has become fuzzy with age, and her testimonies begin to mix up information from other trials (which will be little references to previous games).
Defendant: Pearl
Defense: Apollo
Weird Girl: Maya
Prosecutor: Klavier
Detective: Godot
Witnesses: Gumshoe (and his kids, Callum & Beau), Wendy Oldbag, Ride Operator
Victim: Ride Safety Inspector
Killer: Park Manager
๐ Case 3: My Love, Turnabout
Klavier has arranged a collab performance between Trucy and Lamiroir. Hugh Dini, Trucy's assistant and boyfriend, is accused when his stunt double is found dead. Hugh is very cagey about his alibi, but it's because he was planning to propose and didn't want Trucy to know yet. Franziska takes this and spins it into a jealousy plot, and insinuates he killed his stunt double out of envy. Because Hugh is actually pretty shy, he has a habit of not speaking up, which only incriminates him further.
A twist in the case is revealed during a cross-examination when it turns out the "gold band" the witness is referring to wasn't Hugh's engagement ring, but instead about a gold bangle. This immediately puts Apollo under suspicion, until Phoenix drops a hint that someone else (Lamiroir) has a gold bracelet as well.
The truth about Trucy and Apollo's sibling relationship is revealed when Athena finds an unexpected emotion in Phoenix's mood matrix, and Lamiroir decides itโs time to break the news.
Defendant: Hugh Dini
Defense: Athena
Weird Girl: Phoenix, Apollo (โ steps in when Phoenix has to get cross-examined)
Prosecutor: Franziska
Detective: Ema
Witnesses: Lamiroir, Trucy, Hugh Dini Fangirl
Victim: Hugh's Stunt Double
Killer: Jealous Trucy Stan
๐๏ธ Case 4: The Getaway
This one isnโt a traditional case.
After Manfred Von Karma divorced his first wife, Bianka, he moved to Europe, and his previous home was left uninhabited until his eldest daughter, Karla Von Karma, discovers she has inherited it. She decides to turn the beachside property into a bed & breakfast, and invites her half-sister Franziska and adoptive brother Edgeworth to give the manor a trial run and let her know if itโs suitable for visitors. Edgeworth brings along Wright Anything Agency, becauseโฆ why not treat them to a break?
But of course, their vacation quickly takes a turn when they find a literal skeleton in the closet.
Not all of the rooms in the estate had been searched. Manfredโs study has a large, padlocked safe, and Karla hadnโt gotten around to hiring a locksmith to open it for her. Phoenix tries โ0001โ for the hell of it, and the only thing more surprising than that combination successfully opening the safe is the body folded up inside.
They canโt imagine the killer was anyone other than Manfred Von Karma, butโ since heโs already been executedโ theyโre not sure if a trial even needs to be held. They need to investigate the situation to determine with absolute certainty it was, in fact, Von Karma, because otherwise theyโd need to find a new suspect. Obviously, the group of criminal justice lawyers arenโt not going to get to the bottom of it.
Except Apollo, who has decided he wants nothing to do with solving the murder. He came on this trip for a vacation, dammit, and that's exactly what he's gonna do. He heads back outside to the beach, and leaves everyone else to the investigation.
The first mystery is figuring out when the murder happened. The police arrive, and Ema estimates that the remains are about 30-40 years old, which is around the time the Von Karma family moved out. Since Manfred & Bianka had divorced in 1999, they start to wonder if Manfred had even still been residing here when the murder took place, but the body is found with a train ticket dated for January of 2002. A time period that just so happens to line up with the one singular vacation Manfred took during his entire careerโ to recover from a gunshot wound that he couldnโt even trust a doctor with knowing about.
The body is wearing a housekeeper's uniform, and they identify her as Ophelia Falsch. They conclude that she was killed because she had discovered Manfredโs injury, and he wanted to eliminate the witness. They think they have the case over and done with, but then Ema comes back with the dental analysis. She explains there was no dental record of an "Ophelia Falsch", but the teeth did match Bianka Von Karma.
This raises some questions. Why was Bianka dressed as Ophelia? Was there a more personal reason Manfred could have killed his ex-wife? Could Ophelia have been involved as well?
Since the murder happened so long ago, they don't even know where to begin with finding witnesses. Karla was 18 at the time of the murder, and had just moved out, so she wasn't present. Edgeworth, of all people, is the one to suggest an unconventional idea: why not ask Von Karma himself?
The manor is in a remote location that's only accessible by train or boat, and since it's late, Maya won't be able to get there until the next morning. In the meantime, they check up on Apollo, only to find him getting scolded by a woman about having his chair on the beach. She explains that she's Karla's daughter, Angelika Von Karma, and that she's impassioned about marine ecology. She just discovered the beach had become a nesting site for an endangered species of sea turtles, and is worried about disrupting it.
The next morning, Maya arrives, and Phoenix and Edgeworth hold a mock trial in the foyer. Manfred is channeled, but is uncooperative, so they try... a different method. Phoenix and Edgeworth perform a reenactment of how they think the murder happened, while Trucy and Athena watch Manfred to see if they can glean any information based on his reactions.
Manfred breaks down and confesses to the murder, but is telling the truth when he says that he didn't know the victim was Bianka; he did, in fact, think he had killed a housekeeper who found out about his gunshot wound. After this, his spirit is released.
As puzzling as this isโ who was Ophelia, anyway?โ they can't do anymore investigating because Karla has become very upset. The whole ordeal has caused long-repressed emotions to resurface. She's always felt a little bit resentful towards Franziska because their father left Bianka for Franziska's mother, Levina, and always felt like she had her family taken from her. On top of that, Manfred had done everything he could to get full custody of Karla in the divorce, and she never saw her mother again. She's angry that that wasn't enoughโ he'd gone and killed her too.
Karla and Franziska get into a big fight, and the whole trip ends up cancelled.
๐ Case 5: Turnabout Train Car
They all board the train to head home. The mood is really awkward and it's kind of a bummer. Since the train is only way out of the area, Karla has to board as well, albeit in another car.
And because nothing is ever easy, thereโs a murder on the train.
The victim was the owner of the train, Diesel Porter. He was found in his private sleeping room, and the only other room on that train car was being occupied by Karla, so naturally, she is accused.
Since Ema and the police are already on the train, theyโre able to take control of the situation until the train makes it back to town. The Wright Anything Agency isnโt allowed to investigate the crime scene much, so they opt to interrogate the other odd passengers.
They get a helpful tip from the trainโs bartender that Cole Porter, son of Diesel Porter, had been making plans to build a resort. They also find out that the train company had been losing money, since they werenโt getting many passengers.
The next day in court, Phoenix claims Cole killed his father to inherit the company, but Cole denies it because, why would he want to inherit a dying company? And Phoenix turns it around by bringing up the resort plans and how he wanted to build it on Karlaโs property. He couldnโt just kill Karla, because then theyโd have to take care of Angelika and Franziska too, so they needed Karla to feel like she had no choice but to sell it.
The trial goes to recess and Cole is apprehended for questioning, but at that moment they get word that someone else has just been murdered on the trainโ the bartender from before.
Phoenix goes back to the train investigate and boards when itโs stopped on the mountaintop station. While heโs investigating the trainโs caboose, Coleโs wife, Electra, detaches it from the rest of the train. Cole and his wife were in cahoots! Phoenix is sent hurtling backwards down the mountain in the runaway car, and manages to pull the emergency brake just before reaching the bottom. Heโs ended up back by the manor, and calls to have a boat sent to pick him up.
While he waits, he finds Angelika is still here studying the turtles. She gives him permission to go inside the manor again to investigate. He finds the deed to the house, along with an old photo that has a letter written on the back. Itโs addressed to Bianka from Levina (Franziskaโs mother).
The case is solved when Phoenix proves that both Cole & Electra Porter were involved in the murders. The land becomes protected by the government in order to keep the sea turtles safe, since they are endangered.
After the trial, Phoenix shows Karla and Franziska the letter heโd found. It turns out Levina hired Bianka as a housekeeper under the alias โOpheliaโ so that she could still see her daughter Karla. The photo depicts a teenage Karla playing with a baby Franziska. Levina and Bianka had a good relationship, and had made efforts to keep their families together.
Karla and Franziska apologize to each other, and agree to get along better.

Once I'm no longer coughing up my lungs (joy), I will definitely be finishing this series. The Deer must have its herd, and Viktorya deserves a 2-Year-Timeskip design.
part two of part one of the redesign! this time featuring the lord/retainer/rival/healer set of the blue lions :3
this is where i start to REALLY deviate from canon because if i see another poc character who just looks like a palette swapped white guy? or another renaissance girlie with her hair out and down? i'm gonna end up on the news.
you guys didn't ask but im telling you anyway while i work on the ashen wolves. blue lions design notes!!!
DIMITRI wears a tabbed doublet referenced from my mom's patterns of fashion book, plus a dyed leather baldric (sword belt that hangs from the shoulder) and a plain old arming sword. the layered gorget and pauldrons have inlaid silver tracery, and the blacking protects them from sun and water damage! he's wearing a big cozy hat in his winter outfit because he doesn't want frostbite on his ears.
i really wanted to emphasize looking at him that This Boy Is Not Well. dark circles, hollow cheeks, and a resting wet puppy expression.
DEDUE also has a decorative gorget! his baldric coordinates with Dimitri's, indicating his status as his retainer, and he gets a sash in the official blue lions colors for his winter outfit too!
He wears his hair in protective twists, pulled back into a tail. I think he deserves textured hair!
FELIX wears a fun doublet with detachable sleeves that show a peek of his linen chemise, and an arming sword/dagger combo so he can shank you at mid or close range. earflap hat because i wanted to tease him a little, and a coat that emphasizes ease of movement. kept his fun boots because they're fun.
MERCEDES is wearing a sleeveless jerkin over a bifurcated riding kirtle and blue wool hose! this is cute and fashionable, sensible while staying feminine, and she can even accessorize with a big blue petticoat in winter! her hair is braided and then wrapped in a fun crisscross pattern with blue ribbon, which is called "taping" and is a little old-fashioned for the time period I'm aiming at, but it makes her very very cute. she's got her shawl pulled up over her shoulders, a pair of nice tan leather gloves, and a knitted cap for winter.
part three of part one of the redesign!! the golden deer are here, they're queer, and they are FANCY.
deviating from designs This Round include: hefty influence from claude's concept art! putting hilda's hair up into a style that an actual 18-year-old daughter of a duke would wear! giving lorenz hair that isn't two centuries out of date! marianne is perfect however :]
you guys didn't ask but im telling you anyway while i work on the ashen wolves. time for golden deer design notes!
the leicester students wear doublets with paned sleeves, with full-sleeved linen undershirts underneath. when they wear swords, they have a rapier with a slightly less fancy hilt than the adrestians, but fancier than the faerghus arming sword.
CLAUDE is HEFTILY inspired by his concept art. the wrapped sash/baldric are fun and funky! he's got a khanjar dagger stashed in his sash, which is a fancy knife often worn as a sign of nobility. his winter cloak is based on the new year's art!
his chemise is dyed cheerful yellow, and is falling out of his doublet sleeves in cute little ruffles. he's Exuding calculated sloppiness, with the unbuttoned doublet/jerkin combo, the loose chemise, and the ends of his chemise sleeves showing.
I Have Curled Him, because he says in hopes that his hair is naturally curly and it just...... isn't . in canon. therefore he is curly now. i don't think the riegan barber knows how to deal with curly hair therefore we've got mr dandelion man over here. i also gave him baby fat on his cheeks because um. he's cute.
HILDA wears the jerkin/kirtle/hose combo we saw with Mercedes! her hose are yellow, but you can't really see them. her neckline is open in a touch of calculated sloppiness so that you can see a peek of her really quite impressive boobs. (She's wearing short stays underneath, which at this time in fashion would push her boobs Up and Together.)
I changed her hair so much haha. The pigtails are Adorable but Hilda is eighteen and a duke's daughter. she would not be allowed to go in public with that. so when i was designing her new style my main priority was making it cute (i gave her a little yellow bow!) and making it heart-shaped! it's two interlocking hearts! actually most of Hilda's design here is heart-shaped โ she has a heart-shaped face, her nose is a heart, her lips are a heart, and i gave her a little upside-down heart-shaped chin (to make her look more like Holst).
Her winter outfit is a fur-trimmed overgown, a warm hat (which further makes her face heart-shaped), and a fur muff to warm her hands!
LORENZ is saved from bad hair by the fact that i hate drawing the bowl cut (and the fact that it's two centuries out of date). his pants are Very Tailored and his sleeves are Very Big! he has a yellow sash to match Usurp Claude's design, echoed by the little yellow boot bows. of course I couldn't omit his rose.
for his winter outfit I admit I went a little ham. he's rocking a fur-lined coat with massive hanging sleeves and a HAT. look at my boy's hat!! it's at a jaunty angle! it keeps his head warm! it stops snow from getting in his hair! it's shaped like a bag!
MARIANNE also has the Kirtle Option, with her yellow hose showing. there's really not a lot to be said about her design โ her hair was perfect already, and most of her uniform is easily replicated without being ahistorical. I did note that i wanted her to look a little "stodgy" and super buttoned up.
her winter cloak is just, um. she doesn't want people to look at her. hubert wears the big cloak because he wants to be scary when he melts out of the shadows, marianne wears it because she doesn't want anyone to see her.
i got tired of drawing the academy uniform ten million times and started the timeskip lmao sorry. the timeskip begins with the lords because i want to establish a baseline Vibe for each house teehee.
