Saw this yesterday on Gematsu, fangasm'd a little bit.
Capcom is good at listening to fans and they all wanted another Phoenix Wright, not necessarily that spinoff series that takes place in older times.

Who says that the fans don't want Dai Gyakuten Saiban?

Didn't say they don't want it. I said not necessarily, meaning that's not specifically what they were looking for. Since Phoenix Wright 5 ended off where the story was meant to continue, it only makes sense that they would focus on continuing what they have. Dai is fine, as long as they're doing this as well.

Everyone I've spoken to has also been begging for DGS and GK2. Hell, their Facebook and Twitter pages are loaded with comments about those two games as well as GS6.

GK2 is out, but we need an official English localization.
Needless to say, AA6 is the game that made the most sense to start development on after AA5. I'm sure people are excited for Dai, but I doubt it will do as well as this.

Case 1:
Spoiler:
I really liked this as an opening case. One of my favorite opening cases to date. Mr. Ahndistandin or however you spell it was hilarious once he changed personas. I also like how the Magistry has done his best to be fair, even with a heavy amount of bias. My major complaint is that they did the usual and gave away who the murderer was in the opening.
Case 2:
Spoiler:
I thought this one was also good. I initially thought that the moment of murder was when Mr. Hat was smokescreened, just before the sword switch. But the way the case turned out was very interesting. I had figured out that Retinz was Reus a little before it was time, but I thought that added to the case. Sahdmahdi is actually quite enjoyable. And Matthew Mercer is awesome, so yeah.
Case 3:
Spoiler:
While the story itself was awesome, I found one department very lacking in this case. I'm talking about the fact that most of the scenarios presented against Phoenix were very unbelievable from the get-go and were accepted with no problems.
For example, after Rayfa's divination segment had ended in the first trial, they should have immediately taken suspicion off Maya. In order for her to have been Lady Keera, she would have had to run a half circle around Tahrust, and he would have heard her footsteps, which were not shown in the divination. Phoenix never once brought that up. And then Nahyuta's idea of Keera's robes being over the statue were accepted without any proof whatsoever. Even though that turned out to be the truth, he never had to substantiate any of his claims in court, while Phoenix had to go through hell to do so. Even if the courts accepted it, Phoenix should have called for proof on more than one occasion.
So I find it very unbelievable that the first trial was lost fair and square. I would have liked it if the scenario building by the prosecution was set up better.
Besides that, the case was great.
That's where I am up till now. I started the fourth case, and I'm excited to see where this goes.

Beat the game on Sunday, and I'll add on to what Zero has to say about the first 3 cases, as well as my thoughts on the last two.
Case 1:
I had a bit of trouble with the Divination Seances in the beginning. I could tell I wasn't going to like them. They weren't bad, but more on that later. Rayfa was going to be someone that would be tough to like.
Case 2:
The twist on this case threw me for a loop. I didn't know how it was going to play out and was pleasantly surprised with this one. I like Apollo, and think he gets way more flak than what he deserves. Nahyuta's rosary provided some funny antics, either hurting Apollo or Nahyuta himself.
Case 3:
The dreaded filler case that is always the one no one likes. Usually there to give the prosecution some "character growth" which ends up dragging the rest of the story down for a bit.
Anti-defense bias is nothing new in the GS universe, but this case had the worst of it since 3-3, my most hated case. However, the resolution was satisfying, if not bittersweet.
By the way, the puns on the character names are the worst in the series. Subtlety, thy name is not Capcom.
Case 4:
I liked this case. It gave Athena a chance to shine, since I like her character. And having Simon Blackquill on your side was too awesome. The villain was pitiable, but not much.
Case 5:
This case starts of strong with an amazing civil suit case that pits Apollo against Phoenix. It keeps going with the twists presented as well as what was revealed about Maya. Apollo's way of taking down the plaintiff was smart.
It goes on to a strong, yet emotional finish, with Ga'ran arrested in one of the most satisfying cause of villainous breakdowns in the franchise. What do you do when you can't beat a queen's rule who can rewrite the law as she sees fit? Invalidate her claim to the throne. Just brilliant. Though it goes on to a Kick the Dog moment with Dhurke being killed. I mean, come on. Apollo gets enough needless hate from the fans. Though they do give him his own in the ending. I'm interested to see how this will play out for future games, if we get any more.

Case 4:
Spoiler:
I really enjoyed this case, mostly because of Blackquill. He was the star of the show, and I think Capcom knew that going into developing it. Athena was good too. It's not too often that we see a clash of prosecutors in the courtroom, so that was also nice.
Case 5:
Spoiler:
AH-MAY-ZING! I enjoyed the fuck out of this case. I only wish there was more Phoenix in the case. I was somewhat sated by the investigation phase with Phoenix and Edgeworth working together. Their back and forth dialogue is so good.
But Dhurke is seriously one of my favorite supporting AA characters. They really did a good job of getting you attached to him and then killing him off made the story even stronger. I suspected from the beginning of the story that he was going to die, but not like that. The part when you find out that he was already dead was insane.
Apollo's growth in this case was also very nice, as well as the reformation of Nahyuta. Hearing Matt Mercer say, "A Dragon never yields" made me fanboy a little bit.
Overall:
Spoiler:
I loved this game's overarching story, as usual with these games. They created a lot of very memorable characters. I actually enjoyed Nahyuta's character from start to finish, even as a straight up asshole. The same applies to Rayfa. I already talked about Dhurke. He might be considered a bit of a Gary Stu type of character, but I don't care.
The music was also great. In particular, Phoenix's new objection kicks so much ass. Apollo's is the best it has ever been.
Gameplay wise, the new aspects added a nice new variety. The insights were particularly challenging, but I enjoyed that it was so.
My biggest problem with the game is that you play more as Apollo than Phoenix. You essentially play as them in two cases each. The 2nd case is much longer than the 1st and the last case is miles longer than the 3rd. The game should have been titled "Ace Attorney 6" without "Phoenix Wright" in it. At the very least, in AA5, you had Phoenix for most of the 1st case, half of the 4th case and the entire 5th case. This could have been fixed if there was more of the 5th case with Phoenix. For example, after the civil trial, the viewpoint should have immediately switched to Phoenix and lasted until the investigation ended. Then switch to Apollo to talk to Dhurke the day before the trial, etc.
If they make another game, I'm hoping we get more of a 60/40 split between Phoenix and Athena respectively. Unless they decide to make an "Athena Cykes: Ace Attorney" game, which I'd be down for as long as Phoenix maintains an integral role in the story. It would also ensure that Simon Blackquill is in it a lot, which is always a plus.

DLC:
Spoiler:
Asinine Attorney:
I enjoyed the scenarios that they gave, but they were overpriced. For $8, they should have at least had 5 of these and bundled into one cost. I really liked them, because they could conclude it unexpectedly.
Turnabout Time Traveler:
The nostalgic factor was definitely there. If only Gumshoe were there.
The actual story itself was nice. I could see some similarities to other cases weaved in (i.e car accident being the motive for murder in some roundabout way, having another staged something to cover up a murder) but that didn't detract from it. I enjoyed Sorin and Pierce and even Ellen.
About the scenario building, the only thing I find hard to believe is that Edgeworth didn't figure out the twist about Pierce. In past cases he would always thoroughly investigate related cased and would have found out his background very easily. It's not as if they were hidden.
Otherwise, the whole thing unfolded pretty nicely, even if a bit predictable. I only say, "a bit" because the scenario wasn't obvious. It was obvious very early on who was the killer and why.
The end cutscene was great. No need to explain that one.
Overall, it's a given that this was in large part a nostalgic type of case. I believe the "time travel" concept is no coincidence that it was used for this format. Having Maya as the full time partner, going against Edgeworth and Larry being Larry. It was all reminiscent of the first and third game. Like I said before though, if only Gumshoe were there. I have nothing against Ema, but Gumshoe was needed to make an appearance. I'm glad at least he and Mia were mentioned in this case. It was a good case overall and it was more worth the money than the Asinine DLC.
Btw there are rumors that the Ace Attorney anime may be getting a dub.

So I finally got around to the DLC case
Spoiler:
I was not impressed. Out of all the "sympathetic villains" in the series, Pierce does not really meet the conditions for "sympathetic". Alita Tiala was more sympathetic. Bat's story got to me more. Godot was tearjerking. But I wanted to smack Pierce around for his motive.
Also, the method of murder was a complete asspull. Opening the time machine to find the blood was believable. But what a reach.
Ellen and Sorin were okay, but I cannot believe that the latter had been nursing that wound the whole time.
Though, I will say my favorite part was Edgeworth refusing to get married. That was funny.[/strike]
