    Definitive Ace Attorney Tier List based on how many images the characters have on rule 34 (ordered within tiers)

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 11:28 PM PST

    I've just finished SoJ for the first time. Here are my thoughts! (There's a lot of them).

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 08:50 PM PST

    The final chapter (as of yet) in the main-line Ace Attorney saga was pretty much everything I could ask for and I've got great things to say about it. This might be a long one.

    I'd actually like to start by addressing one of the few things I am heavily conflicted on, along with many other fans: Prosecutor Nahyuta Sadmadhi. Often regarded as the worst prosecutor in the series (from what I've seen), he's probably the most divisive part of this game, and I'd say for good reason. Many say that he's a re-hash of Edgeworth, and while I don't necessarily think *that,* he is very boring in most respects.

    Ema Skye paints him to be some sort of visionary who can predict the future, which is a very cool idea for a prosecutor that *rarely* comes into play. I can recall maybe two instances where he actually employed this tactic. Aside from that, she also paints him as a very pleasant and understanding prosecutor, two traits of which he is decidedly *not.* He's a bit of a stubborn jerk, but not in a cool way a la Edgeworth or Godot; in my mind, he just can't pull it off without it being aggravating, and I myself am not even sure why. Only late into the game, *when he wasn't even the prosecutor,* did I actually begin to like him as a character. Regardless, he does his job, and isn't a deal-breaker.

    I actually found the first case of the game to be relatively boring (aside from the death-metal Jesus with one of the best pun names in the series, he was great). That being said, there wasn't anything particularly bad about it, either. It was just pretty standard, I suppose. It introduced Rayfa and her Divination Seance, which is actually a really fun and interesting mechanic that I enjoy. It got me excited to see how it would be used in the future.

    Case 2 was pretty stinkin' good as far as Case 2s go. After the second case of Dual Destinies, it was kind of a relief, actually. It had a great setup, and because I knew Trucy, I felt for her as a defendant and, being in the shoes of Apollo, genuinely wanted to help her. I never knew how much I missed the banter between Apollo and Athena in the time from when I'd finished DD, and it felt very familiar, even oddly therapeutic, to have it back. But perhaps the strongest part of this case is its villain, Roger Retinz aka Mr. Reus. The twist, though I saw it coming in advance, was really well done. He has a great presence on the witness stand, being accompanied by an excellent theme song, and he's about as crafty as Ace Attorney killers get. His breakdown and backstory that tied in the Gramaryes in are also highlights of his character. He gets a perfect 10 from me.

    I don't think there's ever been a more genuinely sad case than the third of this game. I mean, *my word.* It was such an unexpected turn of events for me. The entire time I was playing through that case, I wasn't enjoying it. I thought the investigations were mundane, and I didn't really enjoy many of the characters involved (save for Maya, duh). But once I got to that final trial, my opinion on the case as a whole began to shift. I was so confused about where the murder actually took place and what was what and who killed who that I failed to see the twist coming at all.

    I had expected the case to be like any other, with a discernible culprit and all, but I was dead wrong. For the first time, there truly was nobody to point the finger at. There was no "culprit" but the Defense Culpability Act itself. This case is the story of a man who took his own life to protect his beloved from the corrupt legal system of the country, and it was so, so moving. I could really feel the crushing hopelessness of the situation they were in, and the final scene where she casts him out of Maya was gut-wrenching. Despite disliking it at first, I came out of the case believing it to be one of my favorites in the whole franchise. It was very powerful.

    Case 4. It was weird in that, this time, *it* was the traditional Ace Attorney filler rather than case 3. Now, I'm going to be completely honest, I would not have enjoyed this case at all if it weren't for Simon Blackquill swooping in to steal the show. He was one of my favorite parts of Dual Destinies, I was *ecstatic* to see him return. The banter between him and Sahdmadhi was priceless and it was so satisfying to see Blackquill casually obliterate him at certain points. As for Athena, I had a good time playing as her, too. Initially in Dual Destinies, I wasn't a fan of her, but by the end she had grown on me, and here I like her now more than ever. She's an all-around good protagonist, and her relationship with Blackquill is really something special.

    I'm pretty much done with saying good things about that case, though. Everything else was blah. I was taken aback by how overly Japanese everything was; it was like the writers were playing a joke on the localization team.

    "Yep, we are still in California, boys. Just don't think about it too hard."

    The defendant was kinda funny but not *that* funny, and Uendo Toneido was only *mildly* entertaining to me. Geiru Toneido as the culprit was only okay. She wasn't a terrible villain, but she wasn't incredibly good, either. In conclusion, Blackquill is going to have to take some of Inga's back medicine from carrying the entire case on his back.

    On to case 5; the stunning climax of the game. Here's what I think: the first half of case 5, what with Paul Stupid-Pun-Name and the orb, was only okay. The second half, in Khura'in, is *outstanding.* Let's get into it.

    I was unsure about Dhurke when he first arrived. Perhaps it was because I was in Apollo's shoes, but he seemed like a massive jerk initially. But, of course, as the case continued, he began to seriously grow on me. The cave adventure with him and Apollo was really touching, and he steadily was cementing himself as a great character in my mind. After that was over, and Phoenix approached Apollo about Paul Atishon and the orb, I was taken aback. It was so sudden, and though I didn't know why, I knew something was off with Phoenix. Why would he defend this actual piece of crap?

    Of course, it made perfect sense to me once I discovered that Maya was being held hostage. He really is a sucker for her, so much that he'll defend a loser like Mr. Atishon to make sure she isn't hurt. The case itself, though it was cool to see Phoenix and Apollo battle it out, sort of felt like more filler, and I think the game definitely could have functioned without it. But, it's more content, so it's no problem.

    It's after they went to Khura'in that things really picked up for me. I'm going to skip most of the investigation contents, but I will say that it was glad to have Edgeworth back, even if he had a small role, and I love the part where he just goes off on the Plumed Punisher for being a rip-off of the Steel Samurai.

    I'll preface by saying that I had been spoiled that the Queen was the mastermind, but that it didn't impede on my enjoyment because it was fairly obvious when the time came. I mean, her prosecutor design *screams* villainy. Anyways, I'll cover the major twists here and my reactions to them. I was very caught off guard when Rayfa attempted to perform the Divination Seance but couldn't bring herself to do it and freaked out; at first I thought that she was choking on something (for whatever reason, I was in the moment, okay?) and was a little spooked myself. Ultimately, though, she was fine, and her development is just *fantastic* in this trial. It was awesome to see her overcome her self-doubt and understand that she plays a crucial role in finding the truth. I really liked her.

    So, Nayna as Queen Amara. This twist, although predictable, was fantastic. Amara has such a godlike presence on the stand, and her theme song (which is one of my favorites in the ost) works wonders to emphasize that. It felt like I was in the presence of someone too glorious to even look at. She was really awesome, and the moment in which she talks about how she never really stopped loving Dhurke was really touching.

    And then there's the huge, soul-crushing twist that Dhurke had been dead during all of Apollo's interactions with him. I never saw this coming in a *million* years, and this scene was so unbelievably well done. With the ominous variation of the traditional suspense theme and Apollo slamming his head on the desk, it made me feel genuine dread. I had just gotten attached to Dhurke myself, and the scene where he's shot *thrice* in the chest and still stands strong was so moving. His conversation with Maya, as well, only added to the emotions at play. Knowing that the queen was the indirect cause of that sadness made exposing her at the end all the more satisfying. The ending with Apollo staying in Khura'in was really touching, too. It felt like a natural progression for his character, and was a good move, I'd say.

    In conclusion, I loved this game to no end. It's such an amazing ride, and probably my favorite Ace Attorney game yet. I didn't quite cover everything (it's late and the post is long enough as it is), so feel free to ask about my opinion on anything at all in the replies. I apologize for how ridiculously long this one is, and have a great day!

    Is the Great Ace Attorney going to fill the void that Investigations left me?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 07:08 PM PST

    I'm a somewhat big fan of ace attorney, as I played some of the games growing up and love the mechanics quite a bit. The only problem I have is that I played Investigations before I played the other ace attorney games, and so now I have a bad habit of comparing the other games to it. With investigations, at least as far as I can recall, there was no magic in it whatsoever. It was purely about logic and reasoning. So you can imagine I was disappointed to find 'emotion sensing' objects, spirits and other shenanigans in the rest of the series. I am also a huge fan of the 'logic' mechanic. I know it's not as in depth as it could be, but I still can't help but really enjoy using it.

    I'm still excited because I have yet to play Investigations 2, so that may possibly end up being my personal favorite ace attorney game.. i'm just replaying investigations first, since I haven't played it since my youth.

    But with some basic searching without delving into spoilers I seem to have run across a few things from the great ace attorney that pique my curiosity. For starters we have some kind of 'joint reasoning' mechanic and we also have sherlock holmes. Both of these facts point to logic and pull away from magic.

    From what i've described, do you think the Great Ace Attorney games will be amongst my favorites? Or do you think they fall more in line with the regular ace attorney games?

    I think I found an Easter egg

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 09:20 PM PST

    What would be some of the AA character’s songs they’d sing and how do they sound when singing?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 06:11 PM PST

    •I think Phoenix would be alright at singing but rarely does it, and he likes to listen to some classic rock

    •Maya would have a great singing voice and probably just likes to sing duets with Phoenix, also she would mostly listen to anime op's

    •Pearl likes to sing loud kids music but no one has the heart to tell her that she's very off key

    •And Apollo, despite having a very loud and sometimes screeching voice in court, has an amazing singing voice and likes to sing softer songs (and maybe some anime op's too)

    Those are just some to name a few, what do you think? What are some others singing voices for characters?

    [Spoilers] Two majors issues in AJ case 3

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 12:58 PM PST

    I just finished AJ's third case for the second time (first time was six years ago) and there are two major problems in this case that I simply don't understand. I'd like to know if anyone has an answer to them.

    1) How come LeTouse said he didn't know who shot him? If your answer is "He didn't see him", I have a hard time believing that. Not only did LeTouse struggle when Daryan was trying to take his gun, which essentially means he saw him (plus Daryan has a very unique look, he's very easy to recognize), but on top of this, LeTouse is facing the door when he's dying, meaning he necessarily saw him when he left. Now I'd like you to lie on your front on the ground like LeTouse and look at what's in front of you, three or four meters away. It's fairly easy to see what's in front of you. I just did it and I can see the top of my TV even though the bottom is 72 centimeters above the ground (The screen of my TV being 75 centimeters from the bottom to the top, which makes a total of 147 centimeters)

    Don't forget his weapon was used (he struggled), and the bullet holes are close to the door, meaning there's no "surprise attack" or anything of the sort.

    2) How can it be explained that the ID number LeTouse wrote on the ground with his blood was wiped out? If Daryan didn't see it, then it shouldn't have been wiped out. If Daryan saw it, then he would've known that LeTouse was alive and used his gun again to deal the final blow. Really, put yourself in Daryan's shoes. You see that LeTouse wrote something. Do you really wipe it off and leave the room, without dealing the final blow? He could very much write it again, in fact, this is another problem. The murder happened during the second set, and during the third set, which took place several minutes later, LeTouse was still "fine" and was able to say a few sentences to Apollo. He WAS actually capable of writing it again.

    And again, for the love of God, how come LeTouse didn't see Daryan while he was wiping out the blood? This time he was closer, but it doesn't change the fact that he was moving around the room and any sane person would look at their murderer, especially LeTouse, who was a very strong man, and certainly had the strength left, as I just pointed out, to move in order to have a better view of who did this (even though he didn't need to).

    And as if ALL of this wasn't enough, LeTouse was SOMEHOW able to pick up that Lamiroir "saw" what happened while running in the air vent, but was SOMEHOW not able to pick up that Daryan shot him.

    This is really the main flaw of this case to me. It's unbelievable. Not the Ace Attorney type of unbelievable, the stupid type of unbelievable. It needs such a level of stupidity from both Daryan and LeTouse that it simply ruins the case for me.

    What are your thoughts on Morgan Fey's backstory? Does anyone feel sorry for her? After what she's been through?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2020 09:13 AM PST

    Hello young adult fan from the anime (who read the tropes), looking for other young adult (or older) responses as well.

    I know she's presented as a villain and antagonist but do you think Morgan Fey had a pretty compelling backstory, not only was she outshone by her sister, she was rejected by her clan and abandoned by her husband (taking away one of her daughters), isn't it reasonable to see why she became a cold, bitter, miserable woman if not a villain? Isn't it easy to have empathy or at least sympathy for what happened to her? What if she was kind and good as well as idealistic woman like Mia or perhaps Maya (a younger sister as well) her but became hardened because of what she's been through?

    As evil as it sounds, doesn't it seem like Mia and Misty Fey dying seem like comeuppance for what Morgan's been through or is that totally evil and uncalled for?

    What if some of the most abominable villains were once the caring, kindest, loving and pure souls who were tarnished and spoiled by the cruelty of this world or am I just soundly edgy?

    Sometimes, it's the hard experiences that reveal our true colors of who we are? Like Phoenix Wright ended up being disbarred for several years but he didn't let those experiences turn him into a full fledged villain (maybe more gray with what happened with Apollo) right?
