Don't forget that the DLC option in the main menu appears after you've started the game so if you want to get the free outfits save and return to menu.

I still need to play 5 but this will be right around the corner for me.
Does this game use the T&T Objection! theme? I really loved the original Objection! 2001 theme but the T&T version seems to have been adopted as the official song. Overall I really liked the music in Dual Destinies and am expecting it to be just as good here, but man do I miss the 2001 Objection! theme.
Straight away, the presentation is much nicer than DD. The 3D models have such a nice, refined look to them. I'm a fan.
What I'm not a fan of is how hammed up this whole "defence attorneys are evil" shtick is. It's so ridiculous but I'm sure it'll get better after the first case

Cheers. As expected, although it's a good arrangement.
Oh I forgot how good Apollo's Objection! theme is too! Yay
there were one or maybe two good moments. ugh, don't remind me of that game. the coolest part was learning (major PW vs Layton ending spoilers)
that it was all in the real world and they live in the same continuity.
you were already answered but I thought it was worth noting: Noriyuki Iwadare, the composer of Trials and Tribulations, has now become sort of "the" Ace Attorney composer since Investigations, doing that and its sequel as well as AA5 and AA6. So from that angle it definitely makes sense that he'd be returning to his own work.
I was confident in grabbing this in day one, since I did muscle through AA5 last week so I'd be on par with the series for this release, but given the lukewarm reception, my distaste for the two previous entries (mainly because of AA5, I didn't like a single thing about it), and the fact that I only started AA Investigations a few days ago, which I'm really digging, I think I'll be waiting a while to take my decision. Eager to see how the people in this thread will react to it though.
One thing I'm a little irritated by is that they got rid of the ability to skip through the text. Dual Destinies added the option to hold B to advance text, even if it was new, and this game doesn't appear to have it. Not a huge issue, just slightly annoying. The game has me invested enough so far though. A lot more things being done with the 3D models than Dual Destinies.
Thanks, that provides some context! I loved the soundtrack work in AA5 and so will expect a similar quality for AA6.

You can, just go into options.
My review is live now: http://www.vooks.net/phoenix-wright-ace-attorney-spirit-justice-review
I really enjoyed it. I liked it more than Dual Destinies and I liked how they weren't afraid to make a case shorter so it didn't drag. I also liked the more spiritual / religious angle it took as it was different. The new prosecutor is majestic and a different kind of villain but one that I enjoyed.
I liked playing as Apollo for longer periods too and while it's a bit forced playing as Athena was a nice touch.
I do think that it didn't really reach the lofty Heights thay T&T did but it's still really enjoyable. I'm happy with it.
I really want them to localise the games they haven't yet..... But doubt they will.

Bought two hours ago.
Took an hour to download.
Good old Australian internet.

I still ought to finish up Dual Destinies, almost done with that. But I'm buying 6 today, gotta support the series. So have fun guys, depending on how long I take with 5 I should be able to join y'all later. Maybe, DQ7 is coming up after all.
But honestly? I don't want to be a downer but I've had a feeling this'll be one of my lower ranked ace attorney games. I'm sure I'll still like it a lot, not a single game in the series I dislike, but it seems to be doing some stuff I'm not particularly interested in story-wise.
It does seem like it fixes up some of the Dual Destinies gameplay complaints so that's good.
But yeah, still holding out hope for Dai Gyakuten Saiban, that one I was more hyped for. It's not too late Capcom!

Layton vs wright is one of my favourite games in the series, but as with you, I'm also a big Layton fan.
Shame it didn't sell very well (which I wonder if it might actually be why they went on to make Great Ace Attorney than try a sequel to Layton).
Wish I had your optimism. We're never getting AAI2 or DGS ever.

Probably going to pick this up over the weekend. Liked Dual Destinies more than most, so if this is an improvement over that like most people are saying I'm looking forward to it.
I'm a big fan of both series but I still thought the game was just "okay".
It felt like Shu Takumi wasn't given as much liberty with the writing as he was promised, which is why I think he made DGS to begin with since it's kinda like PLvsPW but with Sherlock instead of Layton. The game had some great moments, but the latter half of it really brought it down for me.
Still worth playing though.

Augh! The "Buy Digital" button showed up for a second on the eShop website... booted me out when I tried to verify my password of course. I just want it to be done downloading by the time I get home... if it does go up at 12:00 EST though that shouldn't be an issue.
I just want to know that the game pulls off the old-school AA trick of making everything meaningful by the end - pulling 4/5 different stories into one larger one. Dual Destinies failed utterly at doing this in an interesting way.
Reading the impressions in the OP, I'm not hopeful. That said, I did enjoy my time with DD anyway so I'll probably bite.

Still not up 😩
As a Layton fan for puzzle reasons and not at all story reasons, I was annoyed that I had to suffer through a Layton story with puzzles-in-name-only. The first puzzle in Curious Village is harder than like the first ten or so in VS.
what if spirit of justice sells 10 million copies though. what if ;_;
Seriously though, I'll be ok if it doesn't happen, I don't really think it will. But as long as the 3DS is alive I won't stop bothering Capcom about DGS. They could still get it localized in time.

In hindsight, I agree with this, the case is not very well put together and doesn't really pay off after the interesting catch. That said, it's so much more entertaining than Turnabout Big Top that I feel like we're not giving it its due credit when we compare the two cases. Nothing in the series compares to how bad Turnabout Big Top is, NOTHING, and I don't even think JfA is a bad game like most of the fanbase do.

AA5 did incredibly well as an eshop game. At least in the UK (EU?) store, it was actually in the top 20 selling eshop games ever for a long time. That list is probably all pokemon now, but still. Unfortunately, I don't think capcom actually care enough about the series while it does any amount we can actually reasonably expect the games to do, to start localising the spin offs.

So this game has just about every gameplay mechanic in the main series to date right?
Hope the game isn't stretched too thin as a result.
- Psyche locks
- Apollo's ring
- Mood matrix
bleh
- Forensics

Yeah I kind of wish Athena got booted. She's a boring character and the Mood matrix is pretty trash. Give me more Trucy and Ema.

If it's like Dual Destinies, there's an option allowing you to "buy" the DLC, which should be free.
Yeah found it in the costumes & DLC menu. Sick

No. Someone else in the thread said to start the first episode, then go back out to the title screen and there should be a new dlc menu or something. AA5 worked the same way.
edit: Ah good, you found them.
An argument could be made for the serenade case being as bad as Turnabout Big Top, but then again, I haven't replayed 2 in a loong time so my memory of it is not the best.
Man I really wish this and SMT didn't come out in the same month.

If we're gonna boot someone boot Apollo, Athena had a more interesting arc, personality, and ability in one game compared to herr forehead's bland nothingness across 2. DD literally tried to cyborg raiden him and he still sucked.
