They do some cool stuff with it, but it's not really anything to write home about at the end of the day, honestly.

Thanks. Are there any reference to the jury system put into place at the end of AA4, or is that just forgotten?

My AA playthrough has taken me up to AA3's Bridge to the Turnabout. So stoked for this case. Probably my favorite case after Rise from the Ashes.

Bridge to Turnabout > Rise from the Ashes > Farewell, my Turnabout

 

[Javier]

Just finished 3-4 for the fourth time. That ending always brings me to tears. Right in the feels, man.

Me too ;______;

When I first played it, it was just so unexpected and I sat there for a good 10 minutes just staring at the screen fighting back tears.

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.

I don't think they'd known each other for a great length of time, but then again, Mia didn't know

Spoiler

Diego Armando

for a long time, either, before starting a relationship with him, and Mia and

Spoiler

Godot's

relationship has a lot in common with Mia and Nick's relationship, both professionally and in other areas, such as the use of pet names.

I'm not really arguing that they very definitely were, but I've always gotten that vibe from it, especially from the third game.

Spoiler

Godot blaming Phoenix hinges in part on his blaming himself for not protecting her, but also implies that Godot had reason to expect that Phoenix protect her. Since Mia and Phoenix's relationship mirrors Diego and Mia's, I don't think it is hard to see what would make Godot think that, or how someone could interpret his interpretation as stemming from that.

Besides, Fey women are definitely Phoenix's type.

I started playing Apollo Justice for the first time last night. It was in the backlog all this time but I couldn't ignore it any longer especially with Dual Destinies looming ahead. Finished case #1 and it feels good to play an Ace Attorney game again.

Hopefully I'll have some time left to get started on Ace Attorney Investigations before the big release later this month.

The second case is probably my favorite in that game. The Kitake's are all amazing.

The best moment in the second case is

when Boss Kitake opens his eyes for the first time.

I think I laughed so hard I cried.

Those bait and switch moments are hilarious, like that one, or Viola's creepiness, or Badd's lollipop/mirror.

 

[cjkeats]

I was going to start Apollo Justice over when they announced the AA5 release date, cause it's the only one I haven't finished. But of course now that I go to do it my copy has gone missing. ;_;

Oh yeah, Badd is definitely another one of those characters. I love the visual gags in AA a lot.

To answer:

Spoiler

no, it's dropped completely. My guess is they figured they had enough plot lines going on as it was.

Pfft, you bunch of babies. I didn't cry at all. >:|

Although I think my allergies flared up during those final moments.

Spoiler

I'm allergic to being sad.

Phoenix Wright himself not mentioned?

 

[Javier]

Victor Kudo is awesome for his theme alone. That's some awesome music.

 

[CorvoSol]

Godot definitely holds the title for best for me. If it wasn't for that one gaping plot hole someone convinced me of one time, he'd definitely remain untarnished in my eyes.

Best witness is Moe, though. His pathetic fake-out testimony is the best gag in the whole series.

[CorvoSol]

Mind you I'm still on 3-5 so I don't remember how exactly this breaks down, but I think the idea was basically

Spoiler

nothing terrible would've happened if Godot had destroyed the letter before Pearl had ever found it. Or rather, everything that happened in that case happened because Godot let it, rather than the in-game explanation of it all happening because Godot was too stubborn and angry to come to Phoenix and ask for his help. Of course you could say that that's the reason Godot let it happen, but then he goes from just being angry to endangering Pearls and Maya for no reason, and I dunno, I don't like that thought much.

 

[Seven Force]

Best character? No contest:

Best character arc in the series by far

As far as witnesses go, Adrian is hands down my favorite. Her story is a big reason for why I love 2-4 so much.

Yeah, that is a good point. I still really loved the case though, and the fact that

Spoiler

Godot was the actual killer

was kind of amazing and shocking. Hands down my favorite case.

My personal view is just that Pearl

Spoiler

saw the letter first. It solves the entire plot hole in one fell swoop as far as I'm concerned.

 

[DaBoss]

Yea, that plothole is really dumb and that solution is an easy solution, but

Spoiler

wasn't there something about Pearl having to burn up the letter after or something?

But didn't they

Spoiler

specifically say that the letter was already opened when she saw it?

Spoiler

They would make it so it wasn't opened when she saw it.

Worst assistant is Trucy. Sorry.

Nope.

 

[Immaculate]

Worst assistant is Trucy. Sorry.

no he was right

her backstory was more shocking and interesting too tbh

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Worst assistant is Trucy. Sorry.

Trucy can't be the worst. Look at this:

That's too heart-meltingly cute for her to be the worst.

 

[DaBoss]

[BassForever]

Wrong

Worst assistant is Trucy. Sorry.

Right

Though this new girl in Ace Attorney 5 might take the spot of best assistant I like her spunk, it reminds me a lot of what I liked about Kay

 

[Seven Force]

In my opinion, Kay is the worst assistant, but it has less to do with her being bad or anything (because she isn't), and more to do with Maya/Trucy/Ema just being really damn great.

 

[Javier]

Worst assistant is obviously Grossberg.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Nope.

I love her character, but I just didn't feel she was that great as an assistant :/

Spoiler

Though I loved the twist with Apollo being her brother

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Worst assistant is obviously Grossberg.

I think I'd even rank Grossberg above Kay, though I wasn't too into him bothering Mia too much about his hemorrhoids.

Might need to play AAI again, but I just remember not liking Kay very much at all.

How can Kay be the worst? She has the best theme.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

How can Kay be the worst? She has the best theme.

Probably the most memorable thing about her aside from the Little Thief crap.

Eh, probably being too harsh. Gonna have to play AAI again, but the mere fact that Trucy is Wright's daughter prevents her from being the worst.

Kay > Maya > Trucy > Ema > Pearl

I will admit though that

the panty thief

part was absolutely hilarious.

 

[Jintor]

Trucy looks adorable without the hat. I mean, she looks adorable with the hat... but less adorable.

My defense of AA3 Spoilers

Spoiler

Pearl reading the letter first

isn't perfect. It's just that it solves the plot hole in

Godot's personality.

Everyone is forgetting the true best assistant.
