How I wish this game was localized.
An experience ruined by the "Idiot Plot".
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdiotPlot
The whole thing hinges on Godot and the other person being total idiots.
Don't the whole series kinda hang on Phoenix being completely oblivious most of the time?
But that's a trait of Phoenix, it isn't out of character. These other two just completely outta no where got hit with the stupidity stick. It isn't even about being "oblivious" but idiocy on a grand scale.

Yeah it is bullshit but meh. I'm buying AA5 because it's AA5, not because AAI2 is being held hostage by Sven and the rest of our Capcom overlords.
Ok, i'm basically at the end of T&T, and one of the last revelations bothers me immensely.
I'm willing to use my suspension of disbelief for things like
because they are typical of the game universe, but i just can't get over that. :\
Why the hell didn't Godot just destroy the note? :\\\ Basically the whole thing happened because they were afraid Pearl was going to summon Dahlia, but once you remove said note she doesn't know shit. It's not like Morgan Fey is in any position of power anyway, what can she do?
I'm willing to use my suspension of disbelief for things like
bodies getting swung over bridges, exorcism in court, Larry existence, etc
Exactly what I was talking to a couple posts up. Both him and the other person protecting pearl did it in the stupidest roundabout way, that ended up getting people killed and thrown in jail. They're both portrayed as smart individuals so it's really baffling, and the whole story revolves around them on being idiots.

I have a question about AA4's epilogue
Why was the journalist guy in the solitary confinement cell? I couldn't tell if he was actually following a scoop or he was put in there for some reason, because he did his 'I'm in trouble' sprite at the very end.

It is indirectly explained.
Godot isn't really smart. He's an angry asshole on a guilt trip, torturing himself and trying to blame others. He let things go as far as they did so that he could swoop in, save the day, and feel some kind of "redemption" or "revenge" over Mia's death and Dahlia poisoning him.
Honestly, Godot is an idiot for most of the game. He really does a sloppy job on most of his cases.
Yeah this was my biggest problem with 3-5, as much as I loved the revelations and tying up of loose ends.
The whole thing shouldn't have happened in the first place if Godot and even Misty used some intelligence. I know Godot says so himself at the end, both when he admits that he might not have been interested in saving Maya after all and when he says he should have gone straight to Phoenix. It still bothered me though. If I had a complaint about the third game, it's that it became less about Phoenix and more "The Fey Clan Show".
Although Trials and Tribulations is still my favourite game of the series, I prefer cases 2-4 and 1-5 individually.
Yeah case 5 made me flip a coin on weather or not I wanted to finish the game. Loved the game, but shame we won't get AAI2 especially when the judge is different.
Also T&T was my favorite, it had one hell of a evil woman.

That is definitely true, but the real question is why Misty went along with it. I guess Godot must have manipulated her somehow because she had no reason to go along with his plan.
I'm taking names here. We all going to buy it, right? Prepare to post the bloody recepits
I thought Godot flat out said that the problem was that he was too obsessed with what had happened and getting revenge on Phoenix, and that that was what had caused this entire problem?
I agree that Misty's part makes no sense, though. This whole loophole could've been resolved if Godot had found the note after it had already been delivered.

You can count me and 3 of my friends in. Day one, no regrets!
Nope, I bought all the games
with the exception of Wright 1 which was used because I didn't know of the series at the time and got it on a whim
Yes, me neither. I recommend it to everyone who like the first 3 ace attorney's games and, at last, don't dislike MLP.

How sad is it that I watched each of those the day they came out? ;P
Great, today's productivity fell like a 1000% thanks to TV Tropes. If I get fired it will be your fault!
1 full year of suffering waiting the next chapter. I really don't envy you.

As you wish.
Auryn said:We have all the graphics done, the hacking look stable and has been tested thru the whole case 1, we have even english voice sample already and the literal translation is still going on:
-Case 1: 100%
-Case 2: 99%
-Case 3: 60%
-Profiles: 20%
-Maps: 99%
-Choice Buttons: 99%
Here some sample pics

Did they seriously use Comic Sans for a fontface? lmao
Damn, they getting shit done!
Err, how would I get the translation patch onto a DS cartridge? Or can it only be applied to a ripper ROM?
Patch for case 1.
You need a patched ROM, which you can play on an emulator or on your DS via flashcarts.
you won't be able to resist, I tell you!
Aww

That translation patch is going to destroy all the chances of an official localization.
Meh, can't say it's unfair because it's been ALMOST THREE YEARS since the game first came out.

There are no chances of an official localization.

At this point, we shouldn't ever expect an official translation.
Get ready for one of the greatest endings of a trilogy ever.

I've always been very curious about this series, but I never see any copies (new or used) at local game stores. Amazon has the first game, but it's sold by featured merchants. Is it safe to assume they're legitimate copies, or could they possibly be bootlegs? I ask because I've heard of bootleg NDS games being sold around Ebay and such, and I know these games can be difficult to find.
You should be safe with Amazon. Especially with featured merchants with good reviews.

I'm playing Justice For All Right Now (Own all the AA games but just now started playing them in order) Gotta say this one is pretty weak compared to the first game especially the cases.
We'll see how the last case goes before I fully judge it, the best thing by far is Franziska Von Karma.
Her and that whip, mmmmmmmmmmm
