Ace Attorney Discussion Thread

[Tengu]

You know, I talk about the Ace Attorney series all the time,.and from what I've noticed its quite popular. So I figure I. Might as well make a place to have whatever discussions could arise out of it.



Any thoughts on Apollo Justice getting no more story or character development? It kind of urked me when I saw the announcement for Ace Attorney 5, and that Phoenix was the main character again. It's just sort of a turn off that Apollo's character was whisked away so fast.


I do ask that you put some things in spoilers for people who haven't played all of the games. Because spoilers literally ruin that series in a bad way

I hated Apollo so I couldn't care any more. I loved Trials and Tribulations though. It's hands down one of my favorite games of all time, and a real tear-jerker at that.

Sweet, I've been wanting to start an AA thread for quite some time.

We should totally do amazing polls about the games (Best Prosecutor, Best Witness, etc.)~

As for Mr. Justice, he was always Phoenix minus the loveable for me, so I don't really mind if he wanders into a cornfield with his magician friends and never returns.

[Tengu]

That's a great suggestion. In fact, I think I'll put one up now.

[SmashTheEchidna]

To be honest I didn't really mind Apollo. Sure he's no Phoenix, but hey. Also, Phoenix is finally returning to the courtroom? Yes. So much yes.


I recently finished playing Justice for All, but I haven't gotten around to starting Trials and Tribulations yet.

[Tengu]

See, I don't like Apollo because of his almost non-capability to figure things out by himself. Almost all of his choices are solely based on what the other characters already figured out and informed him of.

also using the bracelet to percieve is more annoying than every psych lock combined

[Sora]

Yeah, the gimmick in AJ was just too over the top for me.  Hopefully the emo-sensor (yes I just called it that) in AA5 will be better.

Also I'm starting to get the feeling I'll be the only one to vote for Mr. Payne~

[SmashTheEchidna]

Payne is the only prosecutor to appear in every single game. I think he deserves a bit of credit for that.

[Kage]

I'll give Payne credit for being the Whispy Woods of the protagonists but that is all the credit he gets.

Since AA5 takes place a year after the events of AA4, I wonder what any of the old characters like Edgeworth, Maya, Gumshoe, and Pearl will look like now after all this time if they even return at all.

[LlamaHombre]

Edgeworth probably will return along with Gumshoe, though Maya and Pearl might not be needed any longer.

I'd love to know what became of Godot, though. He was a tragic character and it seems bizarre for him to die in the same way Dahlia went.

[Red]

I don't care about pearl

I'd like maya to be back though... She was hilarious along with phoenix

[Tengu]

I'm pretty content as long as they don't bring Oldbag back. Eaugh.

[Kage]

Winston Payne for prosecutor of the year clearly.

[Tengu]

Am I the only person that hates most of the music in Justice for All?

Actually, I dislike all of the themes except Announce the Truth 2002. I absolutely love that one.

[LlamaHombre]

I like Hotline of Fate, but JFA definitely has he weakest soundtrack of the series.

My personal favorite of the bunch is T&T's, but PW1 has a really good soundtrack as well. AJ and AAI had hits and misses that never elevated them beyond 'meh' status to me.
