Revisualization is a narrative element in the Ace Attorney series, first introduced in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, which represents the protagonist attorney experiencing an sudden epiphany regarding their current case. Typically occurring near the end of of a trial when the protagonist attorney has been back into a corner and cannot progress any further with their logic, they review their line of thinking to come to a conclusion that turns the case on it's head. Revisualization is presented to the player as a series of questions, representing the split second logical interfaces that the attorney is experiencing. After they have all been answered,the resulting thoughts lead the final striking conclusion.
Mechanics[]
Mechanically, it is essentially a series of multiple choice questions about items and evidence connected to the case. There are unique responses to every available answer, including the incorrect ones, with no penalty being incurred for choosing incorrectly.
More often than not it involves re-examining pieces of evidence from much earlier in the case that don't line up with how the case has changed, provoking the realisation of a huge logical inconsistency with the whole case. On more than one occasion, revisualisation has helped the protagonists out of a situation that would make indicting the true criminal impossible due to extraneous circumstances.
Revisualisation is never featured in a game's first case.
