message: OBJECTION!
"During production, someone suggested "Souka Naruhodo" (which translates to "Oh, yes, I see now") as a name, but that was quickly struck down by higher members of the staff, settling for simply Naruhodo instead."
This quote was found in the main passage of the article. Can anyone tell me the source article we can verify this from? hmm? 69.144.184.243 08:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Was this actually confirmed anywhere?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.106.74.119 (talk) 11:53, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I propose that the section with info about the games be fitted with a spoiler warning for those wanting to read about the character without having the plot of the games spoiled for them. I fell victim to this myself. 78.157.124.160 (talk) 18:51, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Now that Ace Attorney has obtained an anime, Phoenix Wright's reception section could be expanded with his role in it. I recommend Anime News Network and Fandom Post. I hope this will help.Tintor2 (talk) 23:26, 13 April 2016 (UT
This might help

thread_title:  Expanding the reception section 

message: The Layton crossover should be mentioned of course, but I don't think that should be done by describing its plot in the middle of the main plot, because that suggests that it actually happened in-universe, which it didn't. Also, if I remember correctly, the crossover could theoretically take place anytime between the ending of the first game and Phoenix's disbarment, and the way it is described currently suggests a really narrow time frame. 
Maybe it would be best to give it its own paragraph, and specify that while this game does exist, it is not canon in-universe and does not happen in the main story line. Zwanzigzwanzigg (talk) 08:48, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Godot and the events of Trials and Tribulations are briefly mentioned in the crossover in the past tense, placing the game as being set between Trials and Tribulations and Phoenix's disbarment (two months later, in the fourth game), that is correct. The background cameos Phoenix and Maya make in both Investigations games (exploring the world two weeks to a month after the third game) also fit with this timelime. It is narrow though, I agree. The problem with the crossover is that it is considered canon to the Professor Layton series according the official encyclopaedia for the series, fitting neatly between the events of Curious Village and Unwound Future. While Takumi was translated as saying the game was "set in a parallel world that is unique to Layton Kyōju VS Gyatuten Saiban" in an interview, and a lot of people interpreted this as him saying it was non-canon to the Ace Attorney series, it does seem that he is just referencing the game being set in Labyrinthia, which at first is presented as a medieval parallel world filled with witch trials, the characters themselves calling it a "parallel world" throughout the game before finding out the truth.

replies: text: I haven't played the crossover yet, so I don't know what the parallel worlds in the game are like, but in my opinion it doesn't really make sense to put the plot of the crossover between T&T and AJ, because maybe it would happen there timeline wise, but it doesn't take place at the same location as all the other games. If we put it there, it disrupts the retelling of the main story line, because it has nothing to do with it. While it should definitely be in there, I think it would be best to add a paragraph after the retelling of the main story line so it's not as disruptive, and it can be given more context as well, like explaining the parallel universe it is set in. Zwanzigzwanzigg (talk) 00:30, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Right, the twist in the game is that the "parallel world" turns out to be a British government-approved social experiment like the one in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village. The game is very much canon, with its jury trial system carrying on to the The Great Ace Attorney prequel games, and the 20th anniversary art for the series including its characters. It can simply be mentioned in-between the Trials and Tribulations and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney summaries as "Phoenix and Maya travel to Britain, get into an adventure, and then go home."

message: Add the words "though this has never been confirmed" at the very end of the first paragraph in the "Reception" section. Because Phoenix Wright is never confirmed to be bisexual. HeroShark96 (talk) 06:47, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the  template. This does not seem to be a necessary addition, as the current prose does not describe it as a confirmed fact, rather as a popular interpretation in the fan community.  ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 11:59, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Without that clarification, the prose can come off as misleading. Especially when the article cited makes a lot of assumptions about the game's characters that aren't confirmed. The interpretation you mention is not a general consensus, since not everyone holds this interpretation. Then again, this is about the character, his creation, and confirmed facts. So an unconfirmed interpretation about a character's sexuality doesn't seem like a necessary thing to add to the article. HeroShark96 (talk) 04:52, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

text: While you refuse to make any fixes, be aware that the article contains a several non sequiturs. Such as stating that Phoenix Wright adopting a girl is proof of bisexuality, and saying he's bisexual when the "Significant Others" list in his article consists entirely of women. Preventing people from editing this page for seemingly no reason makes it seem as if you don't want people correcting information like this. HeroShark96 (talk) 06:03, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
