I'm pretty sure Ghost Trick is part of the same world as AA. Like, I feel like Borginia is mentioned in Ghost Trick at one point or something like that.
Doesn't matter, it was released after AA4. Always play games in the order of their release dates.

Her 2nd and 3rd designs look like something pulled out of Space Channel 5. She even has a space gun or something lol.
Guys, ever since AA HD was released, I've been playing each game for each month now, and just finished AA4.
Man, what a ride. Amazing series. I'm preparing an LTTP thread but it seems that there are monthly AA LTTP thread.
And don't worry about me playing Investigations, I'm planning to buy it but October got a hold of my wallet already.

I want to say Takumi said in an interview once that GT and AA take place in the same universe, but it might have been more of an off-hand comment about their overall tone or something like that.
PLvsPW also fits in somewhere in the middle of AA3.

Don't think too much about it, the writers clearly didn't
I think it's more like an interactive archive of evidence. Yeah, kinda weird.
Alright, I guess technically it could happen after AA3 as well. There's actually almost no information in the game to date it, but Maya says "Zvarri!" once or twice, which gives it away as happening after 3-2.
And to answer your question:
about two or three months, if memory serves.
Wow that's not much time at all. Does that mean that
When Phoenix goes to Badger Land with Maya and Pearl in AAI, he's already been disbarred?
what has happened between Nick and Maya. Cuz in the movie they had hecka chemistry, but in the games I always kinda felt like Phoenix was more in love with Mia than Maya. Then again, Maya never, ever denies Pearl's accusations that Maya and Nick are involved, and then there's that hanging question of what became of Phoenix's relationship with Iris, since you find out about that right at the last minute of the 3rd game.
I guess AA vs PL could take place during AA3, especially if it was between cases 2 and 3, since case 3 picks up a few months after case 2.
Nope. Both the AAI games take place
between AA3 and Phoenix's disbarment.
Phoenix coming back from being disbarred
I don't think they're ever going to hook anybody up together permanently. But to answer your question re: if AA5 provides more info on
Phoenix and Maya/Pearl in that 7-year gap
yes, it does
I don't know if it is that big of a spoiler, either, it's just that since I noticed there are some people who are playing the series for the first time in this thread, I thought I'd avoid saying it out loud. So both AAI games take place in a matter of months, then? That's pretty busy, it seems, since the original trilogy takes place over the course of 3 years. Granted, I do remember that two of the five cases in AAI were flashbacks.
I'm pretty excited to play AAI2, also. I wish I could help with these translation projects, but I don't speak Japanese. I might see if they still need localizers once I've done the first two cases in the game.

The Let's Translate for AAI2 is complete.
Damn the story was great and the twists pretty good. It is more cohesive than AAI, huge improvement.
A lot of tension is lost since you are not playing. But I have no regrets.
All the new charactes are great. Shiragaki is so cool and Yumihiko is hilarious.
Final villain is pretty great, is superior to AAI villain in every way and its breakdown animation is the best thing ever.
Its a great injustice Capcom not localizing this game.

Well, we'll get the fanpatch, so who cares?

Its goes to show they are incompetent in handling their franchises nowadays. I hope AA5 does well and I will laugh if it sells more than Lost Planet 3.

So how about the AA5 demo on the eShop? ^_^
Noo, don't tell me about that! I have such homework to do today!

Don't worry, I was joking.... Sorry everyone!
Okay, fine, it's real, but meh. Jokes on you for highlighting a spoiler! There's no telling what could have been here!
Play the demo! It's different from the full game.

Yea I'm not playing the demo. That would make the wait unbearable and I want to go in fresh from my media blackout.
Booom, downloading now.

Looking at those pictures, I think some elements of her concept art were used on a character in the final case of the game. Any idea what book those pictures are from?

Hah! Don't worry, I did the same thing with Kingdom Hearts. Clocked around 17-20 hours of demo playtime. Totally worth it, IMO. XD

Does anybody know what the download size is for AA5? I have never downloaded anything from my 3DS before and I need to know if the standard 2GB pack in memory card is enough space.
A little bit more than 500 MB.
How many blocks is that?
Going by the 1 block = 128KB equivalence, 500MB should be around 3,906 blocks.
Thanks.
For those who have played the full game, do the Mood Matrix sequences get better? The one in the demo was pretty lame, and I'm having trouble figuring out a scenario where it could actually be clever. I wasn't a fan of the bracelet in AA4 either. The psyche locks and logic were pretty cool ideas, and from what I've seen, logic chess was pretty good, too.
They do some cool stuff with it, but it's not really anything to write home about at the end of the day, honestly.
Don't hate me guys, but AA3 really makes me think that Phoenix and Mia had feelings that were stronger than just good friends. Now, I know that
but the dude acts quite a bit like Phoenix is his rival for her feelings, and c'mon, we all know Fey women are Nick's type.
I'm not saying there's much in the way of a chance for Phoenix, but I sort of just feel like his relationship with Mia was not entirely platonic. Especially since, while there is no end to the chemistry Nick has with Maya, Nick keeps a lot of things that were Mia's and those things sort of trump stuff that belongs to Maya. Like the poster. Phoenix keeps her poster up, and argues with Maya about her wanting to put up another one.
And Charley. YEARS later Nick's still watering Charley.
I don't know that it was ever serious, but I've just always kinda chosen to think that Phoenix and Mia had something, there.
Godot was salty and slightly out of his better judgment in the game when he and Misty hatched the whole plan to stop Morgan or whatever,

Godot was just mad that Phoenix didn't protect Mia. He clearly didn't give 2 shits what Phoenix and Mia's relationship was, he just used Nick as someone to take the anger he had towards himself out on.
They argue about the poster because Nick doesn't think a Steel Samurai poster would fit in well at a law office. Maya actually does put the Steel Samurai poster up but she swapped them back after watching the movie the original one was for.
That's because Mia was a friend of his and it's his only memento of her that aren't the law books that he only keeps for looks.
I don't think it was ever implied that they were ever closer then friends. I mean, I don't think Nick even knew that Mia had a sister until just before she was killed.
