So when replaying the original Ace Attorney Trilogy, I decided to let all my clients after 1-2 be declared guilty instead of fighting for their innocence (except the Maya cases), until I got to 2-4, where I got Matt Engarde acquitted. But instead of the usual bad ending, it seems like Maya stayed with Phoenix, and the game ended mostly normally? Anyway, I went on to T&T continuing to get my clients found guilty, but Maya was acting way different to normal. After finishing 3-3, she took Phoenix to the lake from 1-4 and started saying some crazy stuff like this?

Did anyone else know about this scene?

nah man look at my lawyer i’m going to jail

Like they are famous but capcom have been pushing street fighter, resident evil and monster hunter as there main franchises and both DMC and AA haven't have new games for years (like actual new games) so why them? is it because both of there franchises are now 25 years old, is capcom baiting the audiences or........ARE WE ACTUALLY GONNA GET NEW GAMES FOR BOTH OF THESE FRANCHISES?! (says as I get high on hopium)

(I misspelled Franziska's name, I know; frankly, it's a miracle that she's the only one knowing myself lol)

So…

I was wrong.

I am indeed not just a clown but the entire circus.

Thanks a lot Capcom.

Day 12 - Defendant

[AA4 Spoilers]

We noticed a theme in all Apollo's defendants, for one reason or another he had to really fight for them to talk with him, whether it be cause they were keeping secrets, just being belligerent, language barrier, or outside intervention.

Posting here in case anyone is an off/on player like I am. I was lucky enough to catch this one the first time around but having the AA titles and music to play during games is really fun so wanted to share here.

I love 1-3 I know the painting is a bit of an issue, but besides that I love everything the setting the characters I just love everything about this case which I can understand why people dislike it, but I really love it

To be clear, I do not know Japanese and I absolutely love the AA localization. I wouldn't change a thing. But language is a tricky, tricky thing, and translation even trickier.

My absolute favorite AA case is Farewell, My Turnabout. I've scrutinized it way more than any other case because I feel it deserves it, it's that good. One thing which has been bugging me for a bit about it is the major twist near the end that De Killer knows Adrian Andrews' name but not their sex/gender. I was trying to think about a believable way this could happen. Did he read a newspaper report? That doesn't seem right, surely there'd be a photo or some mention of her being a woman. Okay, maybe Matt told him. But even then, I can't imagine a believable conversation where Matt told him about Adrian while giving no clues at all to her being a woman.

And so I was asking some people elsewhere about this and apparently in Japanese this all makes a lot more sense and it's very, very easy to talk about someone without mentioning pronouns or anything.

What do you all think of that? And do you have any other examples of where you think something was a bit lost in translation?

Disclaimer in case anyone thinks I’m somehow being a misogynist: I’m a girl; not that that makes me immune to misogyny—but I’m not some dude speaking about things that I shouldn’t, basically.

Don’t get me wrong—I don’t like how Athena was sidelined in SoJ, and I’m all for more Athena content. I wouldn’t mind a game where she’s the protagonist, either. But Dual Destinies is the Athena game, even if her name’s not in the title. It’s completely centered around her story, and she has a very satisfying character arc. I get the complaint that she only had 2 cases to herself, but I feel like people overlook the fact that the final case (two cases) is Athena-centric and she has a major role as a defendant and a witness. It’s not like she was sidelined. She had a major role, it was just different. And the whole case was about uncovering her backstory and trauma and helping her escape from its clutches. I will say that she could’ve been the lead defense for at least the first half of that case, though.

Regardless, I think Athena has already had her arc and it was very well-written, so it confuses me when people demand she get a new game where she gets a more “proper” arc. I think a do-over would do more harm than good. I’d honestly be a bit worried if they released an Athena Cykes game because I’m not sure what they’d do with her besides give her completely new, unrelated lore a la Apollo Justice, since her original arc is already wrapped up and they can’t touch on it anyway thanks to the no-spoiler rule. I don’t want her character to be assassinated like that. I think their job with her is done.

But I don’t know. Does anyone else feel this way? Am I overlooking something here? It feels like a large majority of the fanbase feels otherwise.

Obviously I know that’s a handbag. I’m not looking for a handbag. It’s the keyring card holders, I’m interested in.

I'm poking the sleeping dragon here.

These games are easily the most controversial in the series. The debates about them are far more heated, and I think this is largely because people don't just call these games poorly executed, but some call them "not my Ace Attorney". People allege that AJ is anti-PWT, that DD is anti-AJ, and that SOJ has worldbuilding they don't like.

That being said, I've also heard fans of all three games alleging that their game is easily the least popular. I wanted to see how true this is. Which Apollo Justice Trilogy games do you like, and why?

Will make a follow-up post sharing the results! Try to keep discussions civil please

i made an attempt with the face tracking, sue me.

I've had the idea for a Simon Blackquill Investigations script for a while and decided to make a tracking document for the project. Each character has their appearance, personality, and role in the plot assigned to them already. Each case in the images is where each the characters would debut.

The plot is about Simon Blackquill investigating into a supernatural cult that is seemingly behind recent murder cases. He does so with the help of Logic and his trademark Power of Persuasion. Logic works the same as it does in the Miles Edgeworth games while the Power of Persuasion has Simon manipulate his targets into feeling specific emotions so they spill information (think of it as a reverse-Mood Matrix). While investigating these crimes, he has to readjust to doing his job outside of prison and working with a new detective: Kelly Stern, an older detective who previously worked under the US Coast Guard. Estella Sickles, a carefully-worded defense attorney from his pre-prison life, challenges Simon's assertions about the cases at hand and seeks to rebuild their prior relationship as former rivals who both seek the truth.

I will be working on this script going forward. Do what you want with the listed names. Heck, maybe you can even sus out what each character's job is if you try hard enough.

Just don't ask about whose names got redacted, mkay?

Just started playing through Conflict of Interest and it seems cool so far, but I seem to be completely unable to progress in The Rogue Turnabout. There’s a point where you have to examine a desk to look through its’ drawers (the scene from the screenshot), but for some reason when I examine it they don’t go through it? The first part of the interaction plays, but it stops short of Phoenix deciding to check the drawers and then it takes me back to the Examine screen. I looked it up and no one else has seemed to ever have this problem before so I am at a loss for what to do here. I’m using the copy that’s packaged with a version of PyWright, is that one messed up or something?
