| r/AceAttorney just broke forty thousand subscribers! Posted: 15 Jan 2020 09:26 AM PST To put that in a little bit of perspective for you all, we didn't even have ten thousand yet back when Spirit of Justice came out. Before the new remasters of the Phoenix Wright Trilogy came out last April, we were sitting at roughly twenty-five thousand. Place has really grown since then, no? [link] [comments] | ||

| So exactly how durable is Phoenix Wright? Posted: 15 Jan 2020 09:21 PM PST I ask cause there's a chance he might be revealed in Smash tomorrow and someone online was saying how he's surprisingly tough. I've only played the first game and am now starting the second and he wakes up minutes later from being knocked unconscious by what looked like a fire extinguisher. Apparently he also gets poisoned later on? Spoilers on the injuries are fine just no story details. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 15 Jan 2020 06:14 PM PST Since the original Trilogy, no game has managed to recreate the magic of experiencing Ace Attorney for the first time until DGS. Filled with innovative gameplay mechanics like cross-examining multiple witnesses, joint deductions, and closing arguments, DGS is a fresh spin on Ace Attorney. Yet, it maintains and even elevates some of the moments that made the Trilogy so memorable. I didn't think any moment could compare to the triumphant feeling of cornering my first suspect until I heard Ryuunosuke shout his first objection after an entire trial of building up to it. I didn't think any music track would capture the horrible realization that the truth is not what we hope it to be like Search ~ Core 2002 did in Matt Engarde's reveal until I heard the Trial in Disarray theme playing in Cosney Megundal's trial. I didn't think a character would have as complete a character arc as Phoenix did by the end of T&T until I witnessed Ryuunosuke evolving from nervous wreck to fearlessly challenging the entire British empire. While there are many aspects that make DGS deserving of its namesake "great", the main focus of this review is its characters. Shu Takumi's greatest strength as a writer has always been crafting relatable characters who mature in a realistic and believable manner through their trials and tribulations (pun intended). It's almost poetic how Takumi has grown just as much as the characters he has written over the years. The product of his own growth has materialized in the form of the DGS duology - a shining example of how characters make a story worth telling.
By the end of the Adventure of the Unspeakable Story, it's indisputable that Ryuunosuke was no longer the same man we met in his first trial. The once shifty-eyed student ready to accept a guilty plea was now proclaiming that he'd be willing to make an enemy of the entire British empire if that's what it took to defend his client. The journey leading to this fundamental shift in Ryuunosuke's character was an arduous one however. Only two months prior, he had earned a not guilty verdict for a defendant who forged evidence and manipulated false testimony out of others. He was haunted by this mistake but managed to move past it and take on Gina's case despite her instrumental role in securing Cosney Megundal's not guilty verdict. Nevertheless Ryuunosuke chose to place his utmost faith in Gina. This shocking development was made possible thanks to a certain conversation Ryuunosuke had with Sherlock before requesting to be Natsume Sōseki's attorney. Ryuunosuke had wondered why Sherlock believed in his innocence during the SS Alclair incident when all the evidence painted him as the culprit. In that pivotal moment, as Sherlock explained his reasoning, he taught Ryuunosuke the importance of self confidence.
"What should I believe in? Justice? My client? Or the truth? But now I finally understand. I choose to believe in myself."
With those words Ryuunosuke began his metamorphosis and went on to clear Sōseki's name through scrupulous means. In taking on Gina's case, Ryuunosuke once again put his newfound self-confidence to the test. This time would prove to be more difficult however because instead of aiding a fellow countryman, he would be defending a girl who committed perjury and abetted a criminal.
Cosney Megundal was a lying and deceitful conman hidden behind a philanthropic facade, a fact Ryuunosuke unfortunately did not discover until it was too late. However Gina is nothing like Megundal - she's the type of person who makes sure the younger children living in the slums with her don't starve and goes through the trouble of breaking into a pawn shop to confirm for Iris that her manuscript is actually there. By now Ryuunosuke had learned to be confident in his ability to judge other people's character and that very confidence gave birth to his unshakeable belief in Gina's innocence. Could Ryuunosuke have been wrong about Gina? Yes, but the foundation of his belief in her was rooted in his belief in himself so there would be no regrets even if he was wrong. Ryuunosuke didn't let the fear of being wrong again impede him from moving forward because no one can know the truth until it's been revealed for all to see. The night and day distinction between Ryuunosuke from his first trial and Ryuunosuke now highlights the evolution he has undergone. While on the topic of Gina, I'd like to delve into how her characterization is carefully fleshed out along with Iris. Gina starts off as a mischievous pickpocket who might be morally lacking but isn't inherently evil, while Iris is introduced as a girl genius who just happens to live with the world's greatest detective. The two seemed to be completely unrelated and handled poorly, they could've been reduced to nothing more than run-of-the-mill side characters. However during a heartfelt scene where they divulge their family background, we discover just how similar they are and grasp the motivations behind why they do what they do. Depth is added to their previously flat characters and suddenly they spring to life. Gina isn't a pickpocket by choice - she's never had parents from the start and steals to survive. Although she doesn't have parents to look after her she's found family in the children who are in the same situation as her. Iris isn't a gifted genius who received her PhD in medicine through sheer talent - she studied hard and earned it because that's exactly what her father does and she wants to be just like him. She longs for the day that she can be reunited with her father and that's what drives her to work with Sherlock and chronicle the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John H. Watson. In showing how their family situations mirror each other, Takumi also masterfully relays to us that Gina and Iris's roles could have easily been reversed. Had Gina been the daughter of John H. Watson she might've been Sherlock's partner and had Iris never known her parents she could've ended up as a pickpocket. Their friendship is established in an organic manner allowing us to truly comprehend why they go to such lengths for each other. If this much care care is taken in adding depth to side characters, one can only imagine the conscientious deliberation behind developing main characters such as Barok van Zieks.
Barok van Zieks is quickly shaping up to be my favorite prosecutor of the series and while he doesn't have quite as much depth as Edgeworth or Godot yet, that's simply because we've barely scratched the surface of his characterization. From what little we do know, we can surmise that van Zieks is driven by his incredibly strong sense of justice. He sticks to his principles and not even the entirety of Scotland Yard nor can the wishes of his superior, Chief Justice Vortex, influence his decisions in the court. It's been made clear in prior trials that van Zieks pursues nothing more than the absolute truth. To that effect, he doesn't spring evidence upon the defence when it's convenient for him and actively encourages fully examining newfound evidence that could potentially be disadvantageous to his case. We haven't seen such an earnest prosecutor since Edgeworth completed his character arc, but van Zieks is better than Edgeworth in one regard. On top of pursuing the truth, van Zieks displays more empathy than Edgeworth is physically capable of. Edgeworth's modus operandi of pursuing the truth at any cost is certainly admirable, but his methods can be too harsh. The key difference in their personalities is emphasized when we compare the way Edgeworth threatens to reveal Adrian Andrews's attempted suicide as she breaks down on the witness stand to the way Barok van Zieks consoles and forgives Patrick O'Malley for forgoing his duties as a constable and tampering with a crime scene. Barok van Zieks is already the most human prosecutor to date and there's still much more to his character we've yet to explore. The main knock against van Zieks would be his not-so-subtle racism toward the Japanese but we find out the reason why at the end of the trial. Barok van Zieks had once placed all his trust in a Japanese man only to be betrayed by him. It goes without saying that the more you trust someone, the more it hurts when that person betrays you. In van Zieks's case, he was so devastated that it drove him away from the courts for five years. My prediction is that whatever Kazuma had originally planned to do in the British empire ties in with the Japanese man who betrayed van Zieks. Who was this mysterious man and what led him to turn against van Zieks? Along with Barok van Zieks, we are hinted at how Susato and Sherlock may be further developed. DGS1 has set up DGS2 to be the best game of the franchise while still distinguishing itself as an outstanding game on its own and I can't wait to find out what happens next. [link] [comments] | ||
| [3-2 SPOILERS] Just finished the stolen turnabout and... Posted: 15 Jan 2020 05:42 PM PST I loved it! I think it may be one of my favorites for now. I thought it was great that we had a trial with lower stakes (Take that 1-2 and 2-2!) And the way it went from grand larceny to murder really surprised me. The characters were all very entertaining. Dessie wasn't that important but I liked her cheerful attitude. Ron was amazing and his whimpering was very funny to watch. The way he was actually mask demasque also shocked me and helped explain his actions during the first half of the case. However the standaout was obviously Luke, it was obvious that he was guilty but his cockiness was extremely entertaining. However I do have a few gripes with the story of this one, mainly that Luke's plan is incredibly stupid and wouldn't even work, and also that double jeopardy shouldn't acquit Ron of his previous crimes. I also have a few questions about stuff I'm not sure I understood: How was the Shichishito actually used? I'm guessing Atmey banged it on a wall to pretend it was used to knock him out, but that was never addressed. How did Kane Bullard realize Atmey was blackmailing Ron? And what did the page with everything Mask demasque stole along with some numbers mean? Anyway, that's just a few things I didn't understand. Now I'm really hoping the third trial in this game is better than those in the previous entries. [link] [comments] | ||

| What are your favorite dynamics in AA? Posted: 15 Jan 2020 04:26 PM PST This isn't ship related, just want to know what are your favorite dynamics between characters are, anyway here's some of mine: •Characters that can play off each other's sass (Phoenix/Maya, Apollo/Athena, Apollo/Ema) •The stoic serious one with the positive joyful one (Edgeworth/Gumshoe, Blackquill/Fulbright) •Parent with their kid practically (Phoenix/Pearls, Edgeworth/Kay, Justine/Sebastian) And finally •Cinnamon Rolls (Gumshoe/Maggey, Ron/Desiree, Apollo/Juniper, Athena/Juniper) [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 15 Jan 2020 05:19 PM PST Phoenix: This witness is bullshit and everything they said is a lie. He/she can't be trusted Judge: oh ok bring the next witness. Witness is the murderer Phoenix in his head after cross examining: Alright I made a good point but I can't back it up with a good story... Unless Phoenix: Remember the witness that was spewing lies? Yeah uh some of what they said is true. Judge: Wait what I thought they can't be trusted Phoenix: Yes Judge: oh ok [link] [comments] | ||
