![]() ![]() ![]() Ema is referenced in the DLC case, though not by name.Perhaps Ema has retaken her forensics exam and passed? Although the three main lawyers do rely on DNA analysis more often than in previous games to make their cases.Fulbright was in charge of Blackquill so it's to be expected that he'd be the lead detective in all cases involving him, Ema is probably working for Klavier and didn't show up for Case 3 because Klavier wasn't the prosecutor in charge for it and was there mostly to catch up with Courte.Ema will be a detective in Gyakuten Saiban 6. Motohide Eshiro, the producer, said in an interview that he's pretty sure the series isn't ending anytime soon, and certainly not with Dual Destinies.Considering all the plot threads left at the end of Ace Attorney 5, I would be surprised if there WASN'T a 6th main game.So you think that there'll be a 6th main game? I hope so to be honest.She's almost certainly going to be in GS6 as the detective, however. Simply, Ema would have nothing to do in the plot, and for a very good reason.I'm fine with the creators putting her on a bus, but what was the point in completely rewriting her character if the subsequent game doesn't even acknowledge her existence? So, um, where the hell is Ema Skye? The last we see of her in AJ is her still being moody about being a detective and randomly chatting about "Golden Snackoos".This game is more about healing the wounds of the past than making any actual action for the future. There are campaigns to reform the law, which the Jurist System test would be a part of.This also gives the implication that the Jurist System was a means to restore the citizens' faith in the courts by including them in the court proceedings. The Jurist System used in the last case in the previous game was explicitly said to be a test, so it can be inferred that the whole legal system wouldn't be revised in such a short amount of time (yes, even a year). Actually, it was stated that Phoenix's framing by Kristoph with fake evidence, and Prosecutor Blackquill's conviction of murder eight & seven years previous respectively were what caused people to lose faith and start the "dark age of the law".In-story, it's because of the people losing their faith in the legal system, causing the Jurist System to be abandoned.The reason Perry Mason typically had the "trial" be him trying to throw the case out during the preliminary hearing was so that they could concentrate on Mason's attempts to prove his client innocent by proving the real culprit's guilt, which would not work so well if you included him trying to convince a jury into that. Although it's true that this is still a fairly good comparison to make. That's a different reason to why Ace Attorney did it that way (because it was based on the Japanese bench system). Perry Mason typically involved the titular attorney getting this client's charge thrown out during the preliminary hearing (aka, proving that it isn't a strong enough case for a trial-by-jury), which is why that series typically had no jury in it.The Perry Mason TV series, the games' Spiritual Predecessor, didn't take place in front of a Jury either.Any jury of halfway sane people would get to that point and vote the defendant "Not Guilty" in an instant. Not to mention that it'd likely make the trials too easy, considering how often the cases end up at a point where the real criminal is very obviously guilty, but only is able to possibly get away on technicalities. ![]() From an in-universe perspective, it might be Hand Waved as a result of the "dark times" descending on the justice system, with the bombing of the courthouse serving as the catalyst for the crackdown. Having a jury is, from a gameplay perspective, utterly pointless, since everything revolving around the court cases still boils down to "the player must solve the riddle." The developers would have to design the game to deviate from this model, to integrate some means of "persuading" the jury to your case, in order to make it worthwhile. The games' cases are constructed like mysteries: there's one right answer and one right way to get to it. Or, more seriously, it's probably because it would affect the game's design too dramatically. Because Phoenix is the one who came up with it, and thus it's inherently biased toward defense attorneys, and that's hardly fair.Okay, according to Court Records, the Jurist system is not going to be in this game. ![]()
