The story of Ace Attorney 6 once again focuses on defense attorney Phoenix Wright and his two understudies Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes. Phoenix gets reunited with his longtime friend and spirit medium companion, Maya Fey, while visiting the island of Kurain, where lawyers are deemed unnecessary as spirit mediums are able to conjure up visions of a victim's memories moments before death. As ever, Phoenix and Maya seek to prove out that even a supposedly definitive method of convicting defendants has its own contradictions, while Apollo and Athena stay back home and have their own set of cases to deal with. Trucy Wright, Phoenix's daughter, becomes Apollo's defendant after a death occurs during one of her shows.
