This is awesome.

Yeah, I also like it, but not enough to defend it when everybody comes with their "It's the worst case ever, I hate it and want to rather die than playing it again" attitude.
Same here. I guess I'm in the position where I can understand why people don't enjoy it. However, I enjoy it quite a bit myself.
You're not alone ;P!

Oh god, the one Ace Attorney song that will make me flinch and remember bad times instead of the good.

The ending/basis of 2-3 is one of the most darkly tragic in the series. Some of the supplementary characters in it are not my fav, but the core players and their stories are very interesting. I think it's a worthwhile case and something that's very unique IMO. I don't think there's a single case in the entire series that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

2-3 also makes a few things in AAI2 even more meaningful.

I finished the first case of Dual Destinies and completed investigation for the second. It felt like some threads were left dangling at the end of the that first case, like
Second case reminds me of the Steel Samurai.
how/why did the bomb get there in the first place. Ted had a motive for killing the inspector, because she was on to his scam, but he just steals and sells the bombs on the black market. Feels like he was just a pawn in something bigger. The ending text stated that he will be tried at a later date, so I'm guessing the courtroom bombing will come back later.

I swear this is one of the most stealthy ear worms of the series.
Oh and 2-3 ain't bad, hate should be redirected to 4-3 at least.

i was almost pleasantly surprised by 4-3 because
people kept hyping up *the video!!!* to be some horrible awful thing you have to watch a million times but it really wasn't so bad at all imo. Honestly, I have less fond memories of 1-5's video.
but i mean that's not to say i like it because the whole premise was stupid. even if this kid had fucking echolocation his arm should probably be out of its socket

I will defend both till the end of time.

4-3 is indefensible. The only slightly redeeming quality of that case are Daryan's hilarious sprites and animations, and even then it doesn't make up for the whole case's general awfulness.

Sorry, did you say something? I was preoccupied with these angelic tunes.

God, 4-3. This damn thing. It didn't stop! D:
Also, the case didn't have enough interesting characters which could have been suspicious, imo. So it was pretty clear after some time who the real killer was.
I can dig it, Prosecutor Scrafty! The way you hear this beautiful melody over and over again, thus
having the solution right in front of you (or in your ears) from the very beginning
Nope, her too. I was shaking my head when
I was playing AAI2 and she appeared. That was a bummer.

Guess these just came out since I can't find videos, but some Ace Attorney 3DS themes just showed up on the JP Theme Shop.
There's an Ace Attorney 5 one that uses Objection 2013, a Mood Matrix one with the Mood Matrix music, and Ace Attorney 1-3 Main Characters theme that uses Objection 2001, and an Ace Attorney 1-3 Pixel Art theme that uses Turnabout Sisters 2001.
I'll post links once they come up. But they're pretty neat. Capcom's been bringing the Monster Hunter themes over so I'm sure these will come too.

3DS Themes? WANT.
Turnabout Serenade is also one of the least logical cases in the entire series, and that's saying something especially considering the tutorial cases in most of the games are really shifty guy blaming someone who is clearly 100% innocent.
In Serenade they peg someone for the crime who literally cannot do it who also has no motive.

I actually think the Mood Matrix one is the one I'm most likely to buy, lol. Themes that integrate menus from in-universe devices are really neat. Plus it's cozy.
I don't HATE Turnabout Big Top, but this is the only song in the series that makes me legitimately cringe. I can't stand it at all. Ugh.
I like the music of the Mood Matrix theme the most (for browsing the 3DS menus), but I wish I could combine it with the artwork of the AA5 or AA Trilogy themes.

I would buy that third and fourth theme instantly.

Ah, I just noticed there's a Will Powers sprite in the "8-bit" theme. My fav! <3
Gotta say I'm enjoying Dual Destinies a lot. Was going to take a break from the series a bit, but I've been sick the last few days and these games are perfect if you're bedridden. Investigations hasn't arrived yet, so I'm just diving into DD. I'm at the mock trial case now, it has potential. I really like Blackquill as a character. I like my prosecutors brooding, glad Gavin's (mostly) gone.
Only disappointment so far is the soundtrack. There are only a few standout tracks so far, like Blackquill's theme and the testimony/tell the truth ones. Then again, tell the truth in this is reeaally good.

Do you enjoy the games and want more? Then sure, I say go for it. But try not to burn yourself on the series too quickly. Ace Attorney is a series that you should take your time to enjoy.
There's a fan translation. Although if you don't have a flash cart or whatever, you wouldn't be able to patch it, anyway. It's a shame so many people had to miss out on it because of that.
Thanks. Damn, I guess I could always buy a copy and emulate it, but yeah, I'll be playing on my N3DSXL.
And bought. Now I own the whole series, minus AAI2
Are they all as long as Ace Attorney 1? I took 27 hours to finish all the chapters, which seems quite a bit higher than times on HLTB.
They are all more or less the same length.
Cheers, thanks.
I guess AA1>2>3>Apollo Justice>Miles Edgeworth>Dual Destinies is the order I should play them in?
I'm pretty sure AA1 is the longest. It does have 3 days of investigations and trials and has the longest case in the series (1-5).
If you can play AAI2 as well, then play it in between AA5 and AAI.
Yea.

I wish the series paced some of its cases with the three day structure a bit more often, 1-4 hits a nice sweet spot jumping between investigating and court segments without either getting too tiring.
Now then, lets get those 3DS themes overseas, I'll finally succumb to buying one.
