Fancy seeing you here~ Seriously, I'm loving the game. I'm trying NOT to burn my way through it, but I already got through 2 cases...Downloading right now.
I gotta finish watching the rest of the AAI2 videos first, but then I'm gonna dive right in.

Heh, reppin' VNs for life.
Until I started watching the AAI2 translation, my hype for AA5 was not as high as it should of been. I wasn't gonna play it right away because I couldn't fathom skipping a game in this series. But now that the amazing YouTube translation for AAI2 is available, I won't miss out on anything.
Once again japanese polls screw us over :lol:
If there is AA6 we can bet we'll see more of Fool Bright.

Alright guys, those of you who have played a decent chunk of it... Worth getting for the $30? Without spoiling anything.
In short, yes. In long, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss.

Blackquill's animations are amazing! Continuing the tradition of sexy prosecutors. :') Definitely tops Godot in terms of gimmick, though not nearly as fun as Edgey, who don't need no weapon to whip you into shape.
Just finished case 2 and it was pretty fun, though kinda long. Also, what's up with the investigations? They're so lacking compared to previous games.

It's funny you've mention that, because it's totally true. Your main rival (not the Paynes or the main "bad guy") in every AA game is always some sexy guy or girl. (Miles, Franziska, Godot, Klavier, Lang, Angela, and now Simon.)
It's a winning formula, so no objections (heh) from me.
Yeah, I was like, "10/10, would do." AA has a wonderful habit of this, and I am soooo happy about it.
BTW, could you PM me a link to the AAI2 playthrough on YT?

Not gonna lie, I'd pay top dollar if Capcom re-released the older games with these new models and investigation rooms.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Yeah, the games would be quite a fun and rewarding experience to have it done in full 3D like AA5. They can even streamline cases that in the past have been criticized or flesh things out that were left unresolved.

Played through the first case, gonna leave if there for today. The game is gorgeous, like the spritework come to life. Everything is bursting with personality. The writing is up to par, the interplay between Phoenix and the judge being hilarious as always. I'm still a tad disappointed about no physical version, but really I'm happy to be able to play the game at all.
Really, I think ommmmmmmg basically sums it up.
I feel no shame in admitting that I would buy this. HoboNick is sexy. Was nice seeing the PaPa beanie in the opening, at least.

Not as deep as he thinks
Finished the first case. It was pretty good for a first case.
One thing that's kind of bothering me are the talking animations. For some reason it just seems a little off to me... Well, certain ones. It just seems like it doesn't match up like the previous games. Anyone else feel the same?

Just started the 2nd case. That fucking cell phone theme.
I stopped at the beginning of the first day in court yesterday and considering that the courtroom parts are always better than the investigations, Day 2 has to be REALLY bad for me to understand this.
uhhhh is it bad or something?
I didn't recognise it... didn't play enough Apollo Justice.
Was it Guilty Love? Or Lamoire's theme?
It feels like a fan case written by a guy trying to emulate the originals because he's convinced what makes a good case is making it long for no reason and having omgz turnabouts everywhere without caring for logic or relevance.
Especially worse since you're showed the culprit in the intro and everyone conveniently forgets his presence for no reason.
Plus it's hard to care about the plot and you're hammered with names and terms from japanese folklore and it's annoying, but maybe that's just me on that front.
It's everything that is bad in the series, and what was bad about AAI imo.

Wow, you guys weren't kidding about Case 2's length. I still haven't even gotten to the court section yet.

Man, I am absolutely loving this game so far. I'm currently halfway through Case 2.
The 3D animations really bring a lot of life to the characters. It's such a substantial improvement over the previous 2D sprites in terms of expression, and still just as charming.
I mean, you can look at characters like Filch and Athena and you can tell that the animators really went all out.
I can't wait to dedicate my weekend to playing the rest of this game.
I didn't mind it, really. You weren't being dragged around on irrelevant errands (for that section, at least) and were constantly learning information and meeting new characters. Heck, I'd prefer the game to be as long as possible without overstaying its welcome.

11. Why did you choose to download this game?
I couldn't find it at the store
Man...
I haven't registered half the games I bought this year because i'm already so close to Platinum already. Like, 6 of them. Probably gonna just save em' for next year.

Whoa whoa whoa, court starts at 9:30 now? I thought it usually started at 10 AM?
...and why do I remember such a small detail like that?

Ditto. Can't wait to dive into this fully.
The dynamic between the new prosecutor and detective is pretty fun, and Athena is surprisingly really likable so far. Not a bad "successor" to Maya and Trucy. (...I don't really like Kay. :x)
It's fantastic attention to detail.
Hey guys.
I want to know if the costume pack thing is free? If so, how long for?
I need to find some money asap to buy this before the free DLC expires.
Nov 7th I think.

I also like the one where he rubs his hands pleadingly while looking at the floor, then gives a sly glance at you.

Even the text will match with the color.
Completed the second case. I'm not sure why people are so down on it. I like that
for once the supernatural stuff actually was completely mundane and not supernatural at all. That thing at the end where Apollo had to piece together a lot of different evidence to make the final argument was pretty neat, too. I hope the rest of the cases do that, too.

Goddamn that was the best first case of the series
