Finished it again for the trilogy release and it's still great.
If you think Turnabout Succession is underwhelming because "it takes the spotlight away from Apollo" or because "the culprit is obvious" then you are grossly misunderstanding the point of it. Apollo, Klavier, and Vera are puppets caught in the center of an ego battle, and the lack of tangible stakes during the final day is so obviously intentional. Phoenix is not supposed to be an unequivocally good person. That's what makes the final showdown so much more interesting than that of youknowwho at the end of TGAA2.
