Ace Attorney

[GaryOak]

This needs a proper topic. No spoilers thx. I think the first three games are the best and they go like 1<2<3. The first AA was like a introduction and things get real in the sequels. Justice For All could be my least favourite but it had such good third and final cases that maybe it's a bit better than the first one. Trials and Tribulations is ofc the best and one of the best games ever. The coolness of Godot is not even measurable.

Apollo Justice wasn't bad either, I especially liked that new perceive system. And it has some awesome music. Then there's still Investigations:Miles Edgeworth, I've mainly heard only love/hate comments about it but it was okay. Worst of these five but still very enjoyable.

So, what do you think of the series? I'm also looking forward to Ace Attorney 5, hope it'll come out in the near future.

I loved the first game, can't find any of the others but am looking!

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney will obvsly be my favorite though.

Also on another note, today I bought Ghost Trick also by Capcom, and it's pretty cool so far.

Miles Edgeworth was different, but it was fun. Not as fun as the main games though. My favorite definitely was AA3, and I think they go 3>1>2>4. I just didn't like Apollo Justice as much as the other games.

Boxart for Ace Attorney 5

I'm glad that Apollo's there and the new prosecutor also looks kinda badass.

Ace attorney... I must say, this series HAS changed me (in a good way (hopefully)) the concept of thinking before placing judgement on things (and defending things passionately)

My personal favourite is the original AA. I feel that adding the 2nd and 3rd games mechanics

Spoiler

in particular... the profiles tab being selectable and needs to be presented at times...

were just a tad too much.. I played them in this order, PWAA, AJAA, JFA, T&T, AAI

Spoiler

I admit, that i used a walkthrough Heavily in certain parts of AJ, JFA, T&T and AAI

Spoiler

During the last case for a majority... but during JFA and T&T, a few times when i got stuck in needing to do a certain action

My preference of games goes as follows
PWAA, T&T, AAI, AJAA, JFA (for the aforementioned parts)


Now, AA5... That boxart... having a look at previous boxarts, Something that is a common theme.. you have, Main Character, "primary" assitant, Main antagonist, And the main point of the story (with PWAA being the exception), So i will (cause i can "safely") put money on Apollo being the "centre" of the story...

I have two griefs with this game...
1, Phoenix looks... different (i know age is a factor... but in AJ, you can see a resemblance, and AA5 sprite looks NOTHING like AJ sprite (regardless of different things... *goes to have a look at Original sprite vs new*)
Ok, there is some resemblance...
There is a HUGE difference between GBA and 3ds, And i must say, Older is better, He's good in PLvsAA, But it doesnt convert in AA5, Its just a few small details... I think he's too "bright" The pallete is being bright in the sense, but eh, its only a character draw, graphics dont determine a games quality (but they can chase people away )

the 2nd thing...

Spoiler

Im going to have to put in a spoiler...

Spoiler

So... Heres the problem they have created, They have dumped the "original" cast with no backstory whatsoever... We need at least one "intro case", Prolly not a backstory case (AAI and T&T cough, unless we get something between T&T- Graeymere or anything inbetween involving the "old cast" (knowing my luck, it will be apollos trial "6 months ago" xD)) so 3 cases to work with... Im going to say at least 1 for apollo (with maybe mentions in previous chapters...) and leaving two chapters to bring in the old cast...  (although AJ tied in All four so beautifully...)

Expectations for this game:

Spoiler

Trucy makes an appearance/mention (outside of the locket)
Ema has a "good" relation ship with wright, similar of how Gumshoe would help out wright in a crisis (exhibit last case of each game)
The prosecutor has a "von karma" attitude (considering a motif of this game is fixing the judicial system...)
And with the last note... Trials will be bench trials (or else why have the motif?)

[close]

The series has a combination of great story, great characters, good music, And i cant wait for AA5 to come out (in english, Along with AAI2, PLvsAA)

[Roz~]

Ugh I'm so very poor right now, but holy crap I need that sweet AA5 limited edition.

[SlowPokemon]

I really want to get Justice For All (which I understand is the second game?) but it's super expensive right now @_@ $40 is more than some 3DS games. Trials and Tribulations is cheaper, would I be okay skipping Justice For All or not really?

[Roz~]

In my opinion Justice for All was the worst game out of the three. It was still a pretty good game, but I didn't like it as much as the other two. Of course it'd be better if you could play it, but you don't really miss out on anything if you don't.

Holy shit Reed White is an utter asshole.

I would play JFA first just because T&T is much better. JFA also introduces one or two important characters.

My amazing friend is letting me borrow Justice For All!!!! Love you Sarah! XD

I'm glad you followed my advice and got it. It will be worth your money, don't worry.

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney will obvsly be my favorite though.

That game looks unreal. I am dying for it to be localized. It HAS to come to the USA!
And once you finish JFA, don't forget T&T. (the highlight of the series)
