I actually think I like AA1-4 more than AA1-5.
Those two, plus AA2-4 and AA3-5 are definitely the biggest and best ones of the series.

Edgeworth 2 is amazing. It's the only game in the series that I feel sets up a proper story arc with a theme and manages to properly connect it all in an interesting manner. It also really advances the world setting. Apollo started to do this but sort of fumbled around a bit and didn't make as much of an impact as it should have. The first few Phoenix games are much more individual story and loosely connected events which works when it's all revealed in the T&T but it doesn't really do much for the characters in that regard either, IMO.

Ok, I agree with those. Didn't like 3-5 as much as everyone else, but it was still a great series ending.
My favorite case o/w are all from 1: 1-3 and especially 1-4 are phenomenal as well.

Nice! Glad to see a community thread for AA go up! So awesome!

The reason I didn't enjoy the 1st AAI was Edgeworth was just not a strong enough lead to carry an entire game on his shoulder. Phoenix was charming and likeable, while Edgeworth... well, he's likeable too I guess to an extent but I personally found his charisma to be lacking.
Don't know about the 2nd game since we can pretty much rule it out already, heh.

Well, hopefully we'll get an official AAI2 translation one day. I think some sort of compilation of the two AAI games on 3DS would be a good way.

I actually really disagree with this.
Edgeworth has a different quality to him certainly, but I really enjoyed his dry personality and the way they worked his character.
My issue was his cast was so boring for over half of the game. Between Gumshoe and his fanboyness, and the lack of good new characters (being stuck with the flight attendent and then Franz) really took it down. All of Wright's partners/suspects were able to really bring something to the table where as Edgeworth had to really last soley on him until Kay and new detective are introduced.

Nice thread! Is Layton vs. AA confirmed for the west yet?
Edit: Actually, I thought it was confirmed when they announced AA5 for localization but I guess not.

Hmmm, well, we'll just have to agree to disagree then
Don't know... I like him in the 3 mainline AA games, but I got bored with him in AAI. I have also failed to be engaged with the cases in that game, with the last one I consider as perhaps one of the worst cases ever in an AA game.
I heard the 2nd game fixed all that but we know the story about it....
This is super painful considering I really liked AAI. Ugh.

Friends? it's not even that, Klavier and his one friend
(who isn't his friend at all)
Edgeworth could be strong enough but AAI seemed to remove a lot of the snark that made Edgeworth enjoyable in the first place, when put into the main character role he felt a bit dry, on top of that Gumshoe was made to be stupider than ever so I can't say it sat that well with me for those reasons.

Always happy to see more Phoenix Wright based threads
I love this piece. Optic blast Godot should be in the next MVC.
Amazing thread. Ace Atorney is one of my favorite franchise right now. The characters, like Maya and Gunshoes, the turnaround, like the case 5 of AA2, and the main character, all together make Phoenix Wright obligation for all.
Right now I'm in the middle of Trials and Tribulations. The last case of second game is one of my favorites, but I'm liking a lot that third case with a phony Phoenix. I hope to finish all the games in main serie before AA5 launch in USA.
And since fan works are allowed, a mlp fan made a amazing crossover with Phoenix Wright been invoke to Equestria to help in a murder case. Here the videos for these that like (or at least don't dislike) mlp.

For now, I'm finishing AA3,I will start AA4 after that, I'm waiting for AAvsPL, AA5 and the fourth part of mlp/PW. I can say that I am happy fan.

it's a much better game than most people will tell you. I had more fun with it than with AJ , for example, and you can't really miss young Franziska

The OP could use prettier graphics.
I still think Trucy (or even Kay) are the best sidekicks.
I love you.

I don't even remember young Fran. I know she's there but I just can't picture it.
I've been replaying T&T and just reached Case 5. It shall be amazing to experience it again... even though I know the shocking revelation already. Then again, I also did when I first played it... because a classmate had unwittingly (I HOPE) spoiled it for me. I was FURIOUS, understandably...
3-5 is literally an experience. It closes the whole first trilogy and it's just too amazing, especially towards the end. Dat last day of trial. Dat emotions. Dat revelations. Too much. Outstanding. The only thing I could do after finishing the game was listening to the Orchestra version of "The Fragrance of Dark Coffè".

Finally beat the last case of Apollo after putting it off forever. On the whole I really enjoyed it. It didn't really pay off at the end, but the new characters and mechanics were all pretty good. I actually liked Trucy a bit more than Maya, I hope she makes an appearance in AA5.
Now to start on AAI. HERE WE GO

I'm gonna be pissed if Maya doesn't appear in AA5. So so pissed.
And Apollo needs his own case in AA5 as well.

Holy yes. Best news I've heard in a long time. So glad I put off my preorder in the hopes of this happening.

Such a great series. I've been replaying some of the games recently actually. I never finished AAI, so I went and replayed the entire game up until the last case (the new Layton got in the way, so I'll finish it soon-ish after that). I also forgot a lot about what happened in the last case in AA4, so I replayed that case as well. The Video Games Awesome! crew are doing an AA1-3 playthrough, so that's great to refresh my memory about those. It's all working up to the release of AA5!
Very excited to see who'll return in AA5. Maya needs to be there, at least for an important appearance and they can't just ignore Apollo. Also it wouldn't be a PW game without Larry Butz, Maya/Pearl, Edgeworth and Gumshoe.
But therein lies the potential problem of a new PW game. These characters are all so iconic and have many fans, but to put them all into one new game would probably be overkill, but if you don't the fans will revolt. The best way would probably be to give each of these a supporting role in any one case. Then the fans will know what became of these characters all these years later, but they don't have to impact the main story or overshadow the new characters in any way.

This is actually very good. Usually I don't really like fan fics, but this one has a good story, writing, characters, art and nice voice acting on top of that.
You should really try this, even if you're not into Friendship is Magic.

Awesome thread. Do not take you for a axe attorney mark beef.
I think guilty love is one of the bed tracks in the series.

All I can remember is that last case that just, won't, stop. That case was so long it cast out my memories of everything else in that game.
You see Young Fran in Case 4, not the last case.
But yeah I agree, Case 5 is too long.
Sexy.
If you buy AA5 they'll translate AAI2 huehuehuehue

need to catch up on this series, i only played AA 1 and AA 2, need to start up T&T soon but then i also want to start up the 3rd Layton game hmm decisions decisions...
Flip a coin, if it's heads you play AA3, if it's tails you play AA3. I think that's fair.
