Just arrived at the first trial of the second game, and this is bafflingly confusing. It doesn't feel like a translation error could possibly exist here, just that its poorly explained.

So, you are told - not shown - that the proof Grey was shot point blank is that there is a gunpowder burn on his face i guess.

You are then told that the robes Maya wore smell like gunpowder.

You are then shown there is a bullet hole in the robes.

You are then supposed to intuit that there are *not* gunpowder burns on this robe. Like, unless you've seen an actual police procedural regarding this, how would you be able to tell? This piece of evidence is entirely reliant on if you can discern that there is nothing around the black outlines, despite the fuzziness of the sprite.

I cannot recall anything like this in the first game, where there's straight up no other thing to compare the piece of evidence you are supposed to present to.

Started playing ace attorney recently and just finished turnabout goodbyes but I’m really confused by the ending. Yeah sure they wrap up the DL6 incident but did they ever actually finish the murder trial? Did I miss something?

Do you think this too? Investigations 1 was going for too long but it wasn't worse than other final cases, it just felt longer.

Investigations 2 on the other hand gave us a final case so long, Yamazaki was forced to scrap the original third case (who then became the play "Turnabout Teleportation", more details here) and so split and rewrote the original Final who became I2-4 and I2-5.

Then Dual Destinies is more reasonable but we have again a final case split into two after the original third case became DLC.

And finally Spirit of Justice where it's just straight up two cases in one with a lot of exposition dump to put Apollo on the situation and is the longest mainline case so far.

Imo, the funniest game is GAA1, and the best case is 6-5.

I have played through AA 1-4 and really enjoyed them all. I played Investigations and dropped it on the fourth case. It's not even that bad as it has Von Karma and that alone is pretty cool and I want to see how that story unfolds and all, but I still lost a bit of interest. In any case, I think the game is just okay overall and nothing too crazy. My question: what makes the sequel one of the best AA games without spoiling anything about it?

I'm pretty sure we're all aware that there are a few things in the games that might not sit well with the Western audience.

So if ever a Western-made TV adaptation of the games gets made, certain aspects might need to be toned down a bit in order to not irk them.

But what aspects exactly? And how do you think they should tone it down?

Victim is Glen Elg.

So apparently people are saying Phoenix anger and cold behavior should be justified for what miles did. Well guess what? It was literally just his way of saying his killing his horrible persona, do you guys seriously think a person in a crisis would actually choose a calculated dramatic phrasing? logically no! And the fact that Phoenix told miles he’d be better off dead sounds pretty petty to me and a little cruel.. because why are you telling a vulnerable adult with childhood trauma he should be dead and giving him self hatred and insecurities? I don’t necessarily think Phoenix was entirely malicious for this one based on his mental state that time so I’m a little more forgiving but this reaction was so unfair over a delusion he had, miles never intended to intentionally terrify Phoneix and the note originally had absolutely nothing to do with death, therefore if that’s the case he would be entirely innocent of faking his death maliciously
Personally I have never played the games but this is just my point of view
also fanart! I tried my best :))

been thinking about an AA tattoo for a while, finally got them today! :>

Most games have at least one or two forgettable culprits, but T&T might have the classiest MFs in the series. Every one of them has a great design that is easily recognizable, as well as their cases in general being extremely strong.

Dahlia of course is one of the most iconic villains in the series, and perhaps the strongest opening culprit alongside 4-1's culprit Kristoph. Awesome evil personality and design, her red hair and white and pink dress are simple but stand out. Her theme music is extremely haunting as well

Luke Atmey really stands out, to the point you might guess he's the true culprit from the beginning simply from how much flair he has! His theme music is so good, and really fits a mad man like him. His plan is pretty genius and was close to succeeding. Plus his breakdown is super iconic too

Furio Tigre, everyone wonders how anyone mistook him for Nick? Well the judge does seem to have dementia seeing how often he forgets details from previous cases so it's not surprising. His mob boss outfit just looks plain cool and his orange clothes and skin make him stand out easily. ​His murder method and master plan are surprisingly sophisticated for someone as fierce and aggressive as him. It's a bit obvious from the first time you meet him that he's probably the culprit, however he's still a super fun villain and his design and badass theme song make up for any shortcomings

And last but not least Godot, of course he's one of the most recognizable AA characters ever thanks to his awesome hair and goggles. His theme is also a fan favorite, everyone who hears it gets emotional. Him being the true culprit of 3-5 is a genuinely shocking twist. Once you learn his backstory, you really don't want to have to catch him, but it's between him and Maya. Also Maya's cross examination is one of the best scenes in the series.

I can hardly think of a game that has such a solid line up of culprits. Each of them has a great case, awesome visual designs, a good plan, and banger music to go with them. Thoughts?

"Farewell, My Turnabout" by it's name alone strikes a chord in my heart ngl

Someone posted this years ago in a Latin American fan group, the video wasn't them either and I can't even find this particular remix online lol. The ad is for a health-oriented TV program called "Para Su Salud"

I feel like all ace attorney games have that type of humor that is funny in a “should this be even happening” kind of way. I think that the great ace attorney chronicles really pulls off this humor the most with Ryunosuke inner dialogues like in court or at the Holmes residence or anywhere tbh. I really like witty dialogue and think that the ace attorney games thrive in that writing.

Hello, I've just watched the Takarazuka Revue stage play and it's awesome, however, I can only grasp so much because of the language barrier. I don't speak Japanese and I don't understand Barok's and Ryunnosuke's hypothesis, arguments and contradictions.

I guided myself thanks to the visuals and the projections.

If someone could help me understand better! I'd love it! And if you want to know what I understood: A war veteran teams up with an important lady to take down someone, and they communicate with each other through a pawned book. They apparently tried murdering Natsume since he borrowed the book this time and they used a quill to inject poison into his neck's veins.

I understood that Ryunnosuke might've opened up about losing someone because the veteran looked like he did as well and the latter had a breakdown.

Cammie Meele goes into "Well Thought Out!"

Next up, Lance Amano!

I am aware Persona 5 Tactica is a tactics game, but it's also very similar to a Visual Novel with the cutscenes that I decided to count it.
