please just bring the adventure game movement aspects back into the mainline games. Investigation portions of AA games have always been a chore.

Let's just wait and see how the investigation mode of AA5 works with all its improvements and tweaks. You can now move everywhere from one location, spots you already investigated now get a check mark and you can look up a check list of things to do if you get stuck. You also have a backlog function, so you can just review a conversation if you missed some hints there.

interesting. I just hope there aren't scenarios where you are stuck, you look up a guide and realized you forgot to present your fucking badge to someone for some reason to progress >.>"

The additions to Investigation Mode were made for the express purpose of making sure that those kind of scenarios never happen again, IIRC.

I'm in the middle of Justice for All right now. Is the main reason this is considered the worst in the series the circus case? I've only played through the first day of investigating, but there's only so many over the top jokes from this clown and puppet that I can take.

Yeah, the circus case is considered one of the low points of the series, though it does have it's fans. Keep truckin' though, the case that follows after is arguably the best case in the entire series.

AAI did a good job IIRC about this. It made it clear if you didn't do everything in an area. Well, I didn't get stuck on anything on my first playthrough.
 
Okay finished Trails and Tribulations so my Ace Attorney hype is at it's maximum right now and the wait for AA5 feels even longer. So I'm going to post some random Ace Attorney video's that I like to pass the time. None of them are mine, but enjoy.

One person on 2ch is claiming he got AA5, but nobody's posted any proof, so it seems safe to say the game hasn't really leaked yet. I'd be on your guard for spoilers tomorrow though, and then in about 34, 35 hours the game's up on eShop.

Incidentally, I'll be recording case one if anyone wants to get a better look at that.

Saw the thread, and someone posted this.

Looks like it might be internet blackout time for a few people.

Yep. Someone posted about
the intro movie being different from the demo
immediately afterwards, but no way if telling if it's real or fake info. In any event, looks like it's beginning.

I will watch the beginning just to compare it to the demo. I am pretty sure there will be quite some differences (though I will only detect the blatant ones as I don't understand Japanese).

I actually expected this. The intro movie in the demo seemed a bit... plain.

I don't think anyone's going to be posting unmarked spoilers here, guys. Only a few people here actually know enough Japanese to play the game, and I doubt any of us are going to be the jerk who does that.

That's great to hear. I think the circus case is disappointing for me because the case before it I thought was really good and this circus case is just too silly for my liking.
 
where the hell is the movie?

Seems we'll be getting Layton vs Ace Attorney since they teased it on Facebook at that Japan Expo event in France I think?
 
Be on guard guys, spoiler images are out in the wild.

(Not a plot/character/gameplay spoiler, but still tagging this just in case)
Now I see why this got an M rating.

I'm officially on spoiler blackout now. Game'll be in my hand (well, on my SD card) in 8 hours, don't need to be spoiled any more than I have, haha.
 
Finally finished Layton vs Wright! My thoughts on the ending..

I didn't really expect the writers to play the "hah, magic doesn't exist!" card and although it was a pretty interesting plot twist, I still can't go along with some of the plot points they've built to support this argument. Particularly the bell, the ink and the Yoma really came across as way too supernatural for what the story was trying to establish in the end. Do the Layton games often incomporate semi-supernatural elements like these? It could be a reference I missed since I've only played one Layton game before around six years ago. Also the motive for the Storyteller was kind of unbelievable. I understand caring about your daughter and all, but to do all this crazy shit just to let her live in a fantasy where she and her friend never committed any fault? Also, why would the English government support a ridiculous plan like that? Unless it's the current government of course.. Anyway, I guess most of my criticism towards the plot of the game comes from the fact that I'm looking at it from the normal Gyakuten perspective, which usually (although not always, Magatama and what not) tries to make its important plot points and twists a bit less ludicrous than what this crossover has done.

Overall I liked the game though, it was pretty, still full of the usual Gyakuten humor and the music wasn't bad either. I have to admit that I didn't really like the Layton-segments. The puzzles were rather easy and felt a bit disconnected from the story sometimes. Especially the rooftop fight with the Storyteller's gargoyle knights was just ridiculous, both the puzzle and the way Layton turned into a damn martial arts god. Layton was a cool character (the Japanese he speaks is very pleasing to read), but I didn't really like how he magically pieces the entire truth behind the village together with just the things you've seen while playing as him. Naruhodo is actually legitimately surprised during a lot of the revelations in the game, just like he usually is during AA, but Layton knew everything, I can't remember him being surprised or being wrong at all. He was too perfect and kind of made Naruhodo bad in comparison and that kind of put me off. Also, I was waiting the entire game for Mayoi to use her spirit medium skills, but unfortunately she was pretty useless :p. Still good to see her 'back' as Naruhodo's sidekick. Oh yeah, and the court opening music for the last case was awesome. That's about it I guess, reading this post again I feel it sounds more negative than I thought it would. I still think it was worth playing though! Hopefully some of the other people in this thread who've finished the game can post their thoughts. Off to Gyakuten 5! In two weeks after my girlfriend leaves Taiwan :(.

Question about Apollo Justice:

I entered a cross-examination phase with this guy in the second case. Everything was normal except there was no music whatsoever. I even reset the game and it still didn't play. Once I got to the part where the music would've changed to something else after the objection, the music went back to normal and I never encountered this again throughout the rest of the trial.

Is this normal? Possible glitch?

Bah, Capcom took down my video of case one. Don't suppose anyone knows a video hosting site that allows large uploads that isn't YouTube?

Blip.tv is pretty good.

Also, I've decided to just be careful instead of abandoning this thread. I just can't stay away...

I only have one major complaint with Dual Destinies so far, and that's that you can only use the Examine command in certain places now. In most areas your only options are Talk/Present/Move.

Other than that, it's been great, and I'm uploading some of the music on my YouTube.
 
I'm just worried that I won't be able to watch Ace Attorney videos for a while in fear of random spoilery videos showing up in the "Related Videos" tab :<

Seriously though, if anyone spoils this game for me, then I am going all Jay & Silent Bob on their butts and flying down to their house to personally deliver to them a spinning piledriver through the nearest table.

Did you see if its true that every character has a different reaction to every evidence? And you can present profiles?

Weird, I have to put my volume at max to hear the music, I don't have that problem with the PLvsAA music..

That's because this is recorded via Line-In, and the PLvsAA music is from the OST. I'll look into boosting the volume, but if I put it too high I get a lot of noise on the line.

OK, I have no idea how that stuff works lol. Anyways, thanks for uploading them.
