Been interested in this series for years but only finally got the trilogy a couple nights ago. I've already completed The First Turnabout, and it seems I am nearly done with Turnabout Sisters. Really enjoying it so far, but I wish Mia wasn't killed so soon, I liked her. Also, April May is a real trip. 😅
Well, thanks to Maya's ability she will be around from time to time.
Spoilzzz.
But didn't you say you were as good as finished with case 2?

It happens at about the last 5 minutes of the case, so it makes sense if Lunar hadn't gotten that far if the case wasn't completed. Thankfully it's a relatively minor spoiler.
Ah, then maybe I'm not as close as I thought. Haven't talked to Redd White in court yet.
Edit: Finished the second the second episode, real enjoying this so far. What's everybody's favorite ep from the first game?
The fourth and the fifth are really good. I like especially the fifth one.
Either the 4th or 5th case. Both are top tier cases and some of my favourite ones in the whole series.

1-5 (first game, case 5) is my favorite of the entire series. 1-4 is also amazing.
Good, very good. Let the Objections! flow through her.

Bout to make my best friend do the same thing this weekend
Reminds me of when I first played AA1 through a friend's recommendation. Started playing midday, next thing I knew it was 3am. Just something about it.
I don't think the 15th anniversary video was posted here, so: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7BdJK6TLog

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Phoenix and Apollo both shine in their own ways. Apollo is a bit more calculated than Phoenix is and seems to be a bit more serious as well, especially when we see his internal thoughts. Phoenix, on the other hand, is a total goofball. His AA3 flashback self is very much alive inside of him. What I LOVE about the new trilogy of games is how when we see Phoenix from an outside perspective, he is calm, composed, cool, and confident. Yet every time we are given a glimpse inside his head he's still doing his "fake it til you make it" deal. It cements him as the ultimate bluffer.
On the other hand, Apollo comes off as the goofier one to others, being afraid of heights, yelling to calm himself down, etc. They're different characters and playing as both of them makes them both shine more brightly.

I'm sure a fan translation will happen once 3ds emulation becomes standard

On case 3 of AA4. So far, I'm liking it much more than AA2. I thought Apollo wouldn't get as much character development based on what I've heard, but it's fine. I liked Case 2-4 way more than 2-2, and any case can be better than 2-3. I'm glad Psyche-locks are gone (for now at least) and all the forensics stuff is great!

crossing fingers for a fan or official translation =)
Post-Trilogy Phoenix isn't expected to return into lawyering in the first place. Capcom should've stick to his mentor/hobo persona if they want to make him less confusing as it is today.
They really changed a lot of the last trial of AA2 in the anime. I guess it was to make it shorter, but some of it didn't seem necessary. Like
Also,
It was still very good though. Now that the anime is done, I hope they do a Rise from the Ashes OVA.
replacing Lotta Hart with Larry.
some of the most intense moments of the case were toned down a bit. When Edgeworth finds the card, when he forces Andrews to talk, and when Franziska shows up.

FYI guys, looks like the entirety of Dai Gyakuten Saiban has been translated as a youtube series. I haven't had to chance to watch it so I can't vouch for its quality but I think this is the first total translation of the entire game out.

I've watched the first two cases of that before jumping around to my favorite moments in the game and while I feel like an absolute asshole for this, I have to be honest and say these translations are very poor. All the respect in the world for the effort and charity behind this, especially since it's more than anyone else has put out so far, but some endeavors require more than just good intentions.

That's a shame... but I'd rather not watch it on Youtube anyway. :/
Does anyone know if a fan translation patch is being worked on currently?
There is one being worked on at gbatemp. I think they joined with the FE Fates fan translation team.

Ehh the fe fates fan translation team has questionable ideas about what makes a good English translation how the AA games are translated is pretty polar opposite to what they strive for.
Yeah, it wasn't that great. They translated it, but didn't localize it (if that makes sense). Like FF Type 0 HD. That game's dialogue is...yeah...

It was also reviewed by not the main GX crew
Aye. Still, I remember raising my eyebrows at the verdict, just didn't see it coming. :lol
And Ted from BrainScratchComms. I ain't taking his word for it.
Unless this has changed since the last time I checked on the fan translation, which WAS a while ago, that's exactly what the DGS translation is shooting for, unfortunately. Really hope it works out :/

Sounds pretty accurate.
That is very interesting. DGS Case 4 has things that overlap with that list such as
John Garrideb is a witness and a copy of the book "The Lion's Mane" is a piece of evidence
What a shitshow. Because even if this could be released in Europe, we still wouldn't be able to import it to the states thanks to the 3DS's idiotic region lock.

I just finished Apollo Justice. That game is great. It doesn't have the best cases, but they're far from the worst. It's much better than Ace Attorney 2. Ema is awesome, again. Any time she shows up, she steals the game. Klavier is a cool prosecutor as well. He's no Edgeworth or Von Karma, but he's cool. The perceiving mechanic is awesome.
Overall, I give it a solid 8/10.

Personally I think AJ has the lowest lows in the entire series, as well as the absolute worst case in the series.

It certainly has the worst final case in the series, at least. I finished it and was like "...that's it?".

Yup. They had a great setup with Valant being a possible antagonist too, but they decided to not go down that route. I think it would've made for a better conclusion to have him and Kristoph working together.
