The Second game had the most intense last trial imo.

But every game is at its best on the last trial.

Investigations?

I guess I could understand not enjoying the last case, but I like everything about that game. The last case would still be my favorite for that game.

I actually love the AAI last case. Alba was a beast and I didn't find it as much of trial and error as others put it. The only annoying thing was the whole "Oh man, I'm out of options. Oh hey, Gumshoe. What's that you got there? Evidence? How convenient."

The logic was broken because the villain had extraterritorial rights and could say "Nope.avi" to logic.

That was indeed a great case. :)
I honestly was having an issue foreshadowing most of it, whereas I can usually predict what's going to happen in the other cases.

Also, JFA, first case, first cross-examination: Took me 15 minutes to get past it before I realized you could present profiles too. x.x

That's happened to me too. I also think presenting profiles are necessary during the investigation parts too, but it's been awhile.

I actually plan on getting T&T for myself sometime over the holiday breaks since I finished up JFA last month. I might get Apollo Justice, but it looks so bleh. Anyone play it and wanna give their opinion on it?

Get the game, it's worth the money.

apollo justice is not a bad game - the second case is a bit meh, but the other three are rather good

T&T is the best in the series imo

This.

Apollo Justice is a great game, but it's only an adequate Ace Attorney game imo.

The pacing is lousy, the music is rather good, there's a couple of great characters that get lost in the sea of uninspired ones and they're pretty forgettable, and the bracelet is a complete gimmick in court. However, it has a great story. That being said, I would play it if you're a fan of the series.

Pretty sure you can get AJ for a cheap price. Definitely worth the money. Trust me, I avoided AJ for a long time, but the fact it connects to PW's history as well makes it that much more enjoyable.

It's unfortunate that Apollo himself is pretty forgettable, not a good replacement for Phoenix.

I liked the main villain though.

Agreed. The bracelet was a neat idea but could've been used better. I did like the idea though since it does tie into the whole poker theme for the first case. While the game wasn't as memorable as the first three, it makes me kind of want to replay it sine I forgot a whole lot.

Also, I got kind of annoyed because with certain aspects of it, as in
magic being the answer to all the mysteries
. But I can mostly overlook that.

So here's what I'm getting from the trailer:

Case 1: Case 1 from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Case 2: Case 4 from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Case 3: Case 2 from Phoenix Wright: Justice For All

I wonder if there's more than 3 cases.

I doubt it. If they wanna go deep enough for...let's say a 2 hour film, 3 is cutting it already. It's about 40 minutes per case if you don't consider introductions, breaks between cases, etc. etc.

I'm already calling the sequel.

"Phoenix Wright: Corruption in the Embassy"

2 hours 30 minutes of JUST the last case from AAI.

I am so excited for that movie.

Edgeworth looks...interesting. Phoenix Wright looks cool. Maya looks almost exactly like the game.

Oh and :laugh: at the giant inflatable Samurai.

Someone over at KC:MM made me a sig for Xmas, using a custom render of Phoenix Wright.



The render.
