I liked AA5, but I'm afraid 6 is going to try to ignore the status quo it established, which would be really disappointing since I appreciated 5 for not trying to write around the fact that 4 happened.

\/ So yeah, we're back to spirit-channeling stuff. Wonder if they're going to try too hard and go to the point of trying to justify more drama directly related to the Fey family and have Mia come back.

I thought AA5 was fine. Really liked the more "streamlined" Investigation phases though sometimes it offered a little too much help during the Court sections. Probably not going to play it all the way through again but I enjoyed it the first time.

I liked the ending of the DLC case. Rather, the part where you confront the culprit. It does a good job of showing what kind of person Phoenix is and why he became a lawyer in the first place. It was really great to see a moment like that, especially after a game like Apollo Justice where he just seemed so unlike himself anymore.

Bizarrely, AA5 was the most trouble I ever had with the series. I had to look up in a FAQ the solution to the end of case 3, the section with Athena making the poses completely lost me

Hopefully waiting to be shown off in a couple months like with Dual Destinies and Apollo.

Pessimistic answer: Disappeared into the ether as Phoenix goes around wherever he is with Maya and the new spirit-channeling kid while acting like nothing happened between AA3 and now.

My problem with DD is that the streamlined investigations are actually Not Good. It killed pixel hunting, but also all the fun jokes of examining random poo poo (like, even the stepladder joke, right?)

Also it was far, far too easy. It felt like it was holding my hand constantly.

Although not one of my favourites, I enjoyed Dual Destinies quite a bit, so I'm all for AA6. Besides, if they learn from their mistakes and figure out what worked, it wouldn't take much to change things so that the game could be fantastic, instead of merely 'pretty great' like AA5. AA5 wasn't too far off the mark as it was.

Still hoping we'll get DGS at some point, even if it's as a double-pack when the sequel comes out, but it's looking more and more unlikely, especially since they were so eager to confirm AA6's western release but haven't even mustered a "We'll think about it" for DGS.

Oddly enough for a mostly text-based game I couldn't really care less about the overarching plots of AA games. Throw in some silly dialogue and possibly bad jokes and I feel good about it. They're silly anime mystery adventure games man

Didn't he do DGS which is apparently good?

I think he got hamstrung by meddling in AJ, and given my problems with Layton/Wright are mostly with the last half of the last case for reasons I'm calling Level-5 as the source of the problems there.

This is correct. It wasn't the best AA game but it was a far cry better than AJ and I quite liked it.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Capcom executives really meddled in Takumi's original idea for AJ and forced him Kojima style to add Phoenix to a plot without him when T&T was supposed to wrap up a quality trilogy. Then the crossover went through a million revisions until we got a great game with a craptastic ending. I'd rather judge him on The Great Ace Attorney except, you know, it's not slated for Western release. :(

Yeah I'd like more descriptions but I'm glad that the event triggers got downscaled. That poo poo could get infuriating in the original trilogy.

Also, when it comes to Layton vs. AA, I liked it.

Mostly because the trial portions of the game are wicked fun, and the multiple witness cross-examinations were great!

Story was totally insane, but I've seen worse.

But gently caress not being able to replay the trial portions of the game besides the last one! What's up with that?! At least I can listen to all the good music!

EDIT:

^^^^^^ I think Dual Destinies was more fun than the original trilogy games. AAI2 was the best game though.

This is probably because the game was much more of a linear overarching story than the main AA series' cordoned-off episodes.
