Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
World
The setting of the Phoenix Wright games takes place on Earth. The first game takes place in the year 2016; the second and third games are in 2017 and 2018 respectively. The fourth game in the series is set in the year 2025.
The world itself is very similar to our modern-day Earth; cell phones are used widely, televisions are still a major form of entertainment, and while the characters may not use the Internet much in-game, they certainly know what it is and would have some access to it at home and the office.
There is some debate about where on the planet the series takes place; the official line from Capcom is that the Japanese games take place in Tokyo while the English version is set in Los Angeles. The PW:AA characters currently at Landel's are from Japan (except Gumshoe), though they use the English names and the English storyline.
Culture
Television is still a major form of entertainment in the PW:AA world. The Steel Samurai, a children's television series about the adventures of the Steel Samurai fighting the Evil Magistrate in Neo Olde Tokyo, is quite popular among children, but it has garnered some older fans as well.
In addition, there are movie theaters, video games, and the like in the world.
The major difference between the Ace Attorney world and the Earth today is in its legal system. In this world, all trials conclude in three days, and there is no jury system. At the end of a trial, if a client is found guilty, they are held pending confirmation of the verdict and sentence within a month after trial. In this system, the prosecution tends to win the majority of trials; they have access to the police department, as well as easier access to witnesses. The defense does have the right to carry on an investigation alongside the prosecution, though they may not have the same tools as the prosecution does.
Powers
There are no super powers in this universe, for the most part, though there are martial arts classes taught and people can purchase weapons. There is one exception, and this is the ability to channel spirits. Many spirit mediums hail from Kurain Village, two hours outside of the main city. In this village, they are taught the Kurain Channeling Technique, which allows the medium to take on the appearance and voice of the person that they are channeling.
