The elephant in the room when discussing the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is the argument that it's not really a trilogy. The three games which have just been remastered and rereleased under the title — 2007's Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, 2013's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, and 2016's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice — are indeed respectively the fourth, fifth, and sixth mainline games in the Ace Attorney series of courtroom dramedy visual novels. But nevertheless, many long-time fans were surprised at last year's announcement that the remasters were being marketed in this way, since there'd never really been a sense that the originals were intended to be read as a single continuous narrative.
